    Always like your input Czech.  Me, I am still licking my wounds. Had a decent stake on verdasco to beat djokovic last week, how a pro can not convert so many match points is beyond me. Not the first time this bottler has cost me. Then jack sock let me down for a large amount.  Just looking at matches now, hopefully luck even itself out.

    Did this back in 09/10 and had not been for awful luck would still be doing today. Like Czech said, you have some good moments but prepare yourself for some tough days ahead if you chose this route.

    Hello guys.  First post in a while from me. My selection today is Shvedova to beat Williams. I have taken the 11/8 and feel confident that he game on grass will prevail today. Shvedova has been in inspired form on the grass, whilst Williams has been taken the distance and been lucky on occasions.  Fingers crossed today is Shvedova's day.

    Go with your instincts . But yeah, imo he does have a chance, when looking at the underdogs yesterday I dug deeper with Estrella, Robert and Garcia-Lopez, decided to go with just Estrella and Robert in the end, but GGL is certainly not hopeless either. I'm just worried that he doesn't have what it takes mentally, he folded very quickly against Ferrer twice recently just because he had a bigger name facing him.

    Also Razzano looks a good price 9/4 to win her match.

    Terrible day Czech. I fancied shelby and gabasvila but couldn't get bets on and ended up laying safrova, a bet I didn't even fancy. Fucked right off. But no need to apologise, should have followed my instinct. Any fancies tmr?

    Similar thoughts Beast. If it comes to an out and out scrap then Grab will do him. Also Grab first round was straight forward in contrast to Paire. I think this will be my play today, odds of almost 2/1 more than appeal.

    Hercog - Strycova 3.30
    What the hell! I really don't understand. Strycova won in main draw of FO after 11 years and she is so big favourite against clay specialist? Hercog won on clay both matches with Strycova. Yes they were in better days of Polona and Bara is in the peak of hear career. They were tight but Bara has many matches very tight even with huge favorites. Now Bara won against poor Hradecka not too easy. Polona is not so good in FO but as a clay specialist with massive topspin forehand against small and unpatiatent Bara has good weapon in play.
     
    Razzano - Kasatkina 3.50
    Razzano, her form, her results in FO against young hopefull but unexperienced Darya. And Razzano with her unsport behaviour can disgust Darya very easy.

    Hello, betting people
    V. Williams - Chirico (26.05)
    Pick: Chirico to win @ 2,37 (Bet365)
    I'm by no means a tennis guru and haven't followed that sport too much (but lately it's getting more and more interesting for me). Mostly bet on soccer. BUT I watched Venus play against Estonian youngster yesterday who put a good fight against the world no 11. Although Kontaveit played well, I feel the match was so close because Venus just didn't move much and it seems her leg is not in a very good condition either. Considering that Chirico is having a good run at the moment and Venus is struggeling with her leg injury, I think 2,37 is a good bet.
    New in the forum and especially in tennis betting, so don't be too harsh on me

    Gud luck astute....
    I also fancy Czechs all 3 plays albeit I'll just parlay the money line... Also fourleaf's Halep handicap sounds good too....

    I fancy this too..... When I see Benoit Paire every single time the question that pops into my mind is... Why in the god's name is this guy playing tennis? Gabashwili, if plays anything like he did against Young, should blow Paire away.

    Gabasvila roughly 2/1 to beat Paire is another fancy. Has a decent games on clay, coupled with terrible attitude of Paire. Thoughts?  Being a little cautious as not been around past few days so if a player I could back has injury etc then this gives me that insight. Thanks in advance.

    Simona Halep (-7.0) to beat Zarina Diyas for a 8/10 stake at 2.02 with Pinnaclesports
    Simona tought young Nao Hibino a lesson last time out and I think this one will be just as easy. Carina Witthoeft could have beaten Zarina by exploiting her weak serves but she did'nt serve well enough and that coupled with Zarina being rather persistent in rallies made her able to turn the match. I guarrantee Simona will serve well enough and in the rallies she will blow Zarina off the court. She's done it twice before on hard and grass and could easily do it again on this surface where Simona is at her best. On hard in Austalian open 6-1 6-4 to Simona and in Wimbledon 6-3 6-0 both in 2014 and like I've said this surface is Simonas favourite and not Zarinas favourite which is hard.

    Back B.Fratangelo/R.Gasquet - Over 3.5 sets for a 7/10 stake at 3.00 with Paddy Power
    Back Gilles Simon (-1.5 sets) to beat Guido Pella for a 7/10 stake at 1.74 with Unibet
    Back Viktor Troicki (-1.5 sets) to beat Dusan Lajovic for a 7/10 stake at 1.74 with Unibet
    Small profit on Tuesday with Nara and Anderson winning at nice odds, much better than Monday, but hoping for more. These three I like for Wednesday - Troicki and Simon should both be far too strong for Lajovic and Pella, while Fratangelo definitely has enough to win a set off Gasquet with his serve and big follow-ups. He's not as hopeless on clay as it looks like imo.

    Probably not, Pliskova wasn't moving at all against her, Vesnina should be much better than that.

    Today selection is Kevin Anderson 10/11 to beat Joao Sousa. Kevin Anderson always puts in the effort, this combined with his overall ability will see him defeat Sousa. Sousa laboured to victory in his last match and the occasions I have seen him play I think Anderson will relish today's meeting.

    Cheers Four leaf. I asked Czech because he replied to my post so thought I would see his opinion on the match. Never watched it but followed the score and feared the worst when the massive lead was blown. Fair play to Mladenovic for winning.  Will have a scan of matches for tomorrow and post my selection.

    New this forum after reading for quite some time. My first selection is Mladenovic 8/11 to beat Riske. I think Mladenovic is far stronger on the clay and the price represents excellent opportunity to make some £££.
