Fabio is injured. Problem with his right arm.

Catarina L. - Munar J. under 18.5 games @1.70 local bookie Catarina recieved wild card for this event but i'm affraid that he's not even a challenger level player. Munar is not a world beater for sure,but he's solid enough to claim easy victory. I see something like 6-4/3 6-2/1 for the Spaniard.

They still have that green clay surface in Charleston? It's pretty much faster than a "regular" (European),isn't it?

Angelique Kerber (-2.5) to beat Bianca V. Andreescu @1.90 Local bookie I already wrote about Andreescu and some of you may have noticed that I bet on her on several occasions, but this time I will go against her, as situational factors are not on her side. I still consider the Canadian as the greatest surprise of the season, but I think she has played too many tennis lately and that her "tank is empty",really no fuel for the final. I watched her match against Svitolina. At the end of the match it seemed to me that she's going to almost start crying as tired as she was. Also this will be the most important match in her career so far and nerves and lack of experience will play a role for sure. Kerber did have some difficulties in couple of rounds but then she raised her level of play against Venus and against Bencic. Unlike the opponent, she is fresh, she has played a lot of such matches and will know what to do.

Denis Istomin (-2.5 games) to beat Jozef Kovalik @1.65 Local bookie I've recently wrote about Jozef Kovalik and his issues trying to come back after a long abstinence. He lost against Popyrin quite easily and i see something similiar happening against Istomin as well. This is Pxoenix challenger and i hope that Denis will be motivated enough to claim a victory. Ivo Karlovic vs. Prajnesh Gunneswaran over 23.5 games @1.70 Local bookie Ivo is probably a rightful favourite here,but to be honest i don't like betting on him neither against him. I always like overs though. This line isn't that big and the odds are decent enough. Line can be covered even in two sets - something like 75 75/76 75/76 76 And..yes..i also like Felix to beat Nishioka

Marin Cilic (-1.5 sets) to beat Dusan Lajovic @1.70 local bookie I'm aware of the fact that Cilic isn't in the best shape,but neither is Lajovic. I've seen Lajovic's match agaist Daniel and i can tell you that he was pretty poor and very lucky to win. He won't stand a chance with that kind of performance against Cilic. Also i think he will struggle with Cilic's agressive shots. Garbine Muguruza Blanco (+4.5 games) to beat Serena Williams @1.72 local bookie A little risky bet i admit,but i think that somehow Garbine was always a bad matchup for Serena. Serena won over Azaranka but Vika is not a shadow of a player she was. I'm not sure that Muguruza has what it takes to win the match,but i hope she can cover this line. Andreescu (vs.Voegele) + Schwartzmann (vs.Carballes Baena) @1,69 local bookie Canadian girl Andreescu is still flying high while Voegele is real "blast from the past" in IW this week. Still..i think her run ends here...DIego should be too strong for Spaniard even he also had couple strange results lately

Why is Elise Mertens underdog against Anisimova? It realy make no sense to me..

And that exactly what happened.

A double parlay for me tonight Andreescu (vs.Begu) + Yastremska (vs.Gavrilova) @1,72 (local bookie) Young Canadian girl is the biggest revelation of the new season so far. At least when i'm concerned. Great talent followed by good results already. Begu is solid,experienced and very resilient player but more a clay court player i would say. She recently beat Andreescu in Fed Cup,but in significantly different conditions. She won't have this advantage tonight. Yastremska is another big prospect with more than solid start of the season. She even won a tournament in China on hard court. Gavrilova..she's in mess right now losing all the matches in the season so far. I know that she's going to end this losing run sooner or later,but let's hope this will not happen tonight.

Does anyone knows what's Ramanathan's style of tennis and does IW surface&conditions suits his game? He's playing against Filip Krajinovic.

Or maybe i should have go with set handicap here,what say you @CzechPunter?

Alexei Popiryn (-3.5) to beat Jozef Kovalik @1.65 local bookie Decent odds on Popiryn here. Alexei is playing good tennis from the beginning of the season,while Kovalik haven't play a single match since USO last year. Also,i think Kovalik is more a clay court "specialist".

Rafa looks very powerfull,but i still have a feeling that he wasn`t tested yet adequately. Sure,he serves like he did in USO 2010 but he didn`t face any player with good return shot.

Looks like skinny version of Petra Kvotova doing just fine Agree @CzechPunter?

My parlay bet for tonight Nishikori - Karlovic over 10 games first set Medvedev (-4.5) to beat Harrison Zverev (-5.5) to beat Chardy Krajinovic - Donskoy over 3.5 sets Total odds:4.50 (local bookie)
