Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Rhyne Williams to beat Dustin Brown for a 7/10 stake at 2.37 with BetVictor Good price for Rhyne Williams I would say. He shined in Houston last year and he's done little wrong so far in the new season, so I fancy his chances against Dustin Brown, who has been struggling away from the main tour as of late.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Kevin Anderson to win ATP Casablanca for a 4/10 stake at 5.52 with Pinnacle Kevin Anderson was fairly impressive in Casablanca last year and he's certainly improved since then, so I think that he's going to go very far once again, especially since he's also been handed a fairly soft draw.

Re: April 7 - April 13 ATP HOUSTON ROUND 1 TIP: Rhyne WILLIAMS vs Dustin BROWN OVER 22 TOTAL GAMES @ $1.79 on Pinnacle Sports REASON: Rhyne Williams takes on Dustin Brown in Round 1 of Houston ATP tournament. Both Williams and Brown are very much alike. They both play a similar style and possess similar weapons. Both have a big serve and heavy forehands. They are comfortable on the clay courts, with majority of their career games being played on the red surface. We predict both players to hold serve quite comfortably and suggest a confident stake on the overs today. Two tight sets, including a tie breaker should get us over the total line, which is within reach considering both hold serve, and both struggle on the receiving end! STAKE: 8.5 / 10

Re: April 7 - April 13 ATP HOUSTON ROUND 1 TIP: Jack SOCK to beat Ivo KARLOVIC @ $2.20 on Bet365 REASON: Ivo Karlovic takes on Jack Sock in Round 1 of Houston ATP tournament. The tournament is a clay court surface which will favour Jack Sock. Ivo Karlovic is 6 ft 10, the tallest man on tour and aged 35. He possesses a booming serve which makes up for his lack of movement and poor ground strokes. He has a very average record on clay, because its a slow heavy surface which allows players like Jack Sock today to return serve. Jack Sock should win majority of the rallies and also has the home court advantage with the American crowd on his side. We feel Jack Sock is excellent value at $2.20, so take him for the win! STAKE: 7 / 10

Re: April 7 - April 13 ATP HOUSTON QUALIFIERS ROUND 3: CLAY TIP 1: Ruben BEMELMANS to beat Ryan HARRISON @ $3.50 on Bet365 REASON: Ryan Harrison's year is one to forget so far, very inconsistent and playing with no confidence. Bemelmans possesses an excellent serve and crafty ground strokes. We expect a close encounter and find it hard to believe Bemelmans is priced at $3.50 considering Harrison isn't all that comfortable on clay surface. In what is a pure value bet, we predict Ruben Bemelmans to win and advance to the next round! STAKE: 4.5 / 10 ATP HOUSTON QUALIFIERS ROUND 3: CLAY TIP 2: Thanasi KOKKINAKIS to beat Robby GINEPRI @ $2.75 on Bet365 Our next tip comes in the name of Thanasi Kokkinakis. A young talented Australian coming through the ranks. He has had an outstanding year and continues to improve. Up against Robby Ginepri, an old veteran who struggles to even compete in challenger level. We recommend a confident stake of (7.5/10) on the Australian, Thanasi Kokkinakis! STAKE: 7.5 / 10

Re: April 7 - April 13 Jack Sock vs Ivo Karlovic over 24.5 @1.8 w/Marathonbet Both previous meetings,although on hard court,went over this line.In the 2 past games they've played,3/6 sets have been tie-breaks.3 sets will bring this in easily and there have been 3 sets in both their last meetings.Clay will slow things down,even if one player wins this in straight sets there's a chance of the overs coming in.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Katarzyna Piter - Camila Giorgi Pick: Katarzyna Piter +4.5 Games (Match) Odds: 2.03 Bookmaker: Pinnacle First round women's tournament series WTA International Katowice in Poland. This year, the young tournament (held for the second time) changes cover , and now the girls will play in the hall Indore (there is a suspicion that this was done under Agnieszka's wish). So today a match between Italian Camila Giorgi (67) and the local polish girl Katarzyna Piter (97). Giorgi different sort of attacking tennis , long jokes are not in her manner , immediately tries to receive either actively play with the serve. Commendable. If flying , the chances opponents little. But will make full use of it in the game with Katarzyna. Doubt because the polish tennis player also works in a similar manner and has a very good by the standards of women's tennis serve, that will obviously make it difficult for Kamila. Enjoying work on tennis Indore. Do Camila for all of last year three of the tournament: fly in 1st round in Quebec, has not overcome qualifications in Luxembourg and the second round in Linz. Last year Katarzyna second round in Linz quarterfinals Luxembourg (both tournaments held still qualifications) and ITF quarterfinals. No doubt that Giorgi has more experience of playing on the WTA tournament , but there is such a feature of her: Italian love a "shoot" on the larger and more prestigious tournaments on the international tournament series for her is nothing outstanding in sight. But what in the evening match with full bleachers fans Piter will be posted in full and just not retreat , do not doubt it. Thus , Giorgi's favorite status in the upcoming match bookmakers somewhat high and it is unlikely to expect an easy victory over a completely qualified and having good results in Indore, Katarzyna Piter. Taking advantage of this offer and play on the plus Katarzyna Piter.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Rhyne Williams to beat Dustin Brown @ 2.18 Betfair The price for Williams continues to come in, and when you look at Brown's recent form in Challengers it's not hard to see why. Williams had a good run in Delray Beach on the main tour, and in conditions that he's likely to enjoy he should have a good chance of making the next round. Brown can't quite seem to make a breakthrough at ATP level, and even though this match is winnable for him I think he'll come up short again. Jack Sock to beat Ivo Karlovic @ 2.00 Betfair There's a good chance that fine margins will decide this match, and as both players serve well I think the better player on return is the one to back here. For me, that player is Sock and that could give him the edge against Karlovic. The veteran Croat has been playing well enough recently and has beaten Sock in their previous meetings, but I think the young American can get a first win in this match series. Marcos Baghdatis to beat Alejandro Gonzalez @ 2.24 Betfair Baghdatis emerged from a spell of poor form by winning through a couple of rounds in Miami, and as much as he isn't the biggest fan of clay and Gonzalez arguably has the better results on the surface I'm still not sure he should be the underdog here. It's true that Gonzalez has made a breakthrough of sorts recently, but the fact remains he has lost his last five matches on clay and Baghdatis is capable of making it six.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Kristyna Pliskova (+7) to beat Agnieszka Radwanska for a 7/10 stake at 1.87 with Pinnacle Radwanska is capable of covering these massive handicaps, but she wasn't at her best in Miami and I am not sure that she's going to like the fast conditions in Katowice, so I fancy Pliskova, who is a pretty decent ball-basher, to win a few games against the world's number three today.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Anna Karolina Schmiedlova to beat Irina Begu for a 8/10 stake at 2.09 with Pinnacle I might be missing something, but what exactly has Begu done to be the favorite here? Her recent winning streak came against players well below Schmiedlova's level, so I simply have to side with the more talented player here. She beat Begu 6-0 6-0 when they met in Nanjing last year, after all.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Michael Russell (+4.5) to beat Daniel Gimeno-Traver for a 7/10 stake at 1.83 with Pinnacle Michael Russell rarely folds in home conditions and you just know that he is going to try really hard today, so I like his chances of covering this handicap line. Daniel Gimeno-Traver has been nothing special in recent weeks, after all, and he might also become a bit rattled by Russell's determination.

Re: April 7 - April 13 WTA KATOWICE ROUND 1 (INDOOR SURFACE) TIP: Jaksik JOVANA to beat Mirjana LUCIC @ $3.15 on Unibet REASON: Jaksik Jovana takes on Mirjana Lucic in Round 1 of WTA Katowice Indoor Hard Surface. We are very surprised to see such high odds for Jaksik Jovana after the excellent week she had last week. She reached her first final on WTA level but fell short losing to Ivanovic. She beat quality opponents most who are better than Lucic. They include defeating Knapp, Kumkhum and Date Krumm. The only reason these odds are so high is because the betting agencies feel she may be fatigued, but we think otherwise. Take the young talented Jaksik at remarkable odds of $3.15 to beat a below average player in Lucic. STAKE: 6.5 / 10 WTA BOGOTA ROUND 1 *BET OF THE DAY* TIP: Paula ORMAECHA to beat Patricia MAYR @ $1.65 on Titanbet REASON: Paula Ormaecha takes on Patricia Mayr in Round 1 of WTA Bogota. Both players have played majority of their career matches on clay but only one stands out today for the win. Paula Ormaecha the Argentine is an excellent clay court specialist, her strengths suit the clay perfectly. She has great court coverage, excellent defender and patient in her build up. She is very familiar with these courts and has an outstanding record in Bogota. In 2012 she reached the semi-final and in 2013 she went one better reaching the final. We expect a dominant performance from last years finalist Ormaecha who has plenty of points to defend here. Therefore being very motivated and prepared for tonights match. STAKE: 10 / 10 ATP HOUSTON ROUND 1 TIP: Donald YOUNG to beat Ryan HARRISON @ $2.51 on Pinnacle Sports REASON: Happy to go against Ryan Harrison once again. Although we lost last nights tip in Ruben Bemelmans at $3.50 we were certainly unlucky. Bemelmans was 6-1 5-3 up serving for the match against Harrison, had several match points and blew it. Even had a 4-1 lead in the deciding set and threw that away as well. Donald Young has beaten Ryan Harrison before, and we feel he has every chance of repeating that tonight. Super value on the talented American Donald Young, especially how bad things are for Ryan Harrison and his team. STAKE: 8.5 / 10 WTA BOGOTA ROUND 1 TIP 1: Paula ORMAECHA to beat Patricia MAYR in STRAIGHT SETS @ $2.48 on Pinnacle Sports REASON: Paula Ormaecha takes on Patricia Mayr in Round 1 of WTA Bogota. Both players have played majority of their career matches on clay but only one stands out today for the win. Paula Ormaecha the Argentine is an excellent clay court specialist, her strengths suit the clay perfectly. She has great court coverage, excellent defender and patient in her build up. She is very familiar with these courts and has an outstanding record in Bogota. In 2012 she reached the semi-final and in 2013 she went one better reaching the final. We expect a dominant performance from last years finalist Ormaecha who has plenty of points to defend here. Therefore being very motivated and prepared for tonights match. STAKE: 4.5 / 10 ATP CASABLANCA, MOROCCO ROUND 1 TIP: Gilles SIMON to beat Frederico DELBONIS @ $2.20 on Pinnacle Sports REASON: Gilles Simon takes on Frederico DelBonis in round 1 of ATP Casablanca, Morocco. It's fair to say Gilles Simon has had an inconsistent year to say the least, but he is a much better player than Frederico. Simon prefers the hard court but has the ability to adapt to any surface including clay. He possesses excellent speed, foot work and timing which allows him to hit with great power and accuracy. He comes into todays match winning 3 qualifying matches. This is another advantage over his opponent knowing the court, conditions and finding form. Take Gilles Simon for the win, we predict he'll outplay his opponent and win majority of the extended rallies. STAKE: 9 / 10

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Somdev Devvarman to beat Juan Monaco for a 4/10 stake at 5.47 with Pinnacle In this sort of form, Juan Monaco simply shouldn't be a 1.18 favorite here. He is, of course, going to win this more often than not, but Somdev Devvarman is a fairly decent player in his own right and shouldn't be written off that easily, as things are simply not clicking together for the Argentinian at the moment.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Leonardo Mayer to beat Jiri Vesely for a 8/10 stake at 1.76 with Pinnacle Can't see the Czech winning this very often. After all, he's had to travel to Casablanca from Japan, where he was playing in the Davis Cup (on a hard court) over the weekend, while the fact that he apparently had to face some minor health problems during his stay in Japan won't help him either. Meanwhile, I know of no such problems as far as Leonardo Mayer is concerned.

Re: April 7 - April 13

Vinci looks a good bet to me' date=' anyone else agree? Won comfortably just last year in straight sets in the US open and looked sharp the other day despite her current bad form. Advice please if anyone has any insight.[/quote'] I watched the match Camille vs Katarzyna and match Vinci vs Ksenia. Camilla was excellent. In the physical and the game plan. Vinci did not show anything special. Confident of victory Camilla, I think 2-0.

Re: April 7 - April 13 ... i think Querrey is god bet, Hewitt yestarday drop his serve 8 times and clay is not his favorite + fatigue from match in 3 sets. And today against Querrey, who can play on this a little fast clay and "home ground" with his serve in my opinion lleyton has little chance.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Lleyton Hewitt to beat Sam Querrey @ 2.00 Betfair I took this earlier when the prices were even, and although Querrey has become a slight favourite I'm still happy to be on the veteran Australian. The way I see it neither player really likes clay, and so this match could come down to who is able to make the best of the conditions. As far as attitude is concerned, I have to favour Hewitt and as much as he struggled in his first match here he should have it a little easier on serve against Querrey.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Kristina Kucova (+1.5 sets) to beat Alize Cornet for a 6/10 stake at 2.78 with Pinnacle Back Kristina Kucova to beat Alize Cornet for a 2/10 stake at 6.23 with Pinnacle Kristina Kucova seems to be on an impressive run at the moment and the fast conditions in Katowice should help her against Cornet, so I wouldn't be surprised by seeing a really big upset here, as Cornet won't be allowed to sit back and defend at any point if Kucova fires like she did against Niculescu.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Michael Russell Total Games - Over 8 for a 8/10 stake at 1.90 with Pinnacle Back Michael Russell to beat Nicolas Almagro for a 2/10 stake at 6.34 with Pinnacle Nicholas Almagro is yet to achieve a really straightforward victory in 2014, so I am going to side with Michael Russell for the second time in a row. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his performance against Daniel Gimeno-Traver and you just know that he's going to play his heart out, so these odds and lines look worth taking to me in all fairness.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Pablo Carreno-Busta (-3.5) to beat Aleksandr Nedovyesov for a 7/10 stake at 1.89 with Pinnacle Robin Haase should have beaten Nedovyesov yesterday and I simply don't believe that Carreno-Busta is going to self-destruct like the Dutchman did. The Spaniard is now back on his favorite hunting ground and there was nothing wrong with him against Kamke the other day, so I fancy him to get the job done without much fuss today as well.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Not a great couple of days. Back Lourdes Dominguez-Lino to beat Chanelle Scheepers for a 8/10 stake at 1.87 with Pinnacle I watched the Scheepers-Knapp match and I wasn't impressed by Scheepers at all, she basically relied on Knapp's unforced errors throughout. Dominguez-Lino has already beaten her this year and she should be way too consistent for the South African once again. Full preview here: http://www.punterslounge.com/dominguez-lino-vs-scheepers-betting-lourdes-dominguez-lino-to-deal-with-chanelle-scheepers-in-bogot- Back Sam Querrey (-2) to beat Dustin Brown for a 8/10 stake at 1.93 with Pinnacle Two good wins for Dustin Brown, but Sam Querrey should take him out fairly comfortably in my opinion, as he looked very good against Lleyton Hewitt the other night. It probably won't be too straightforward, but Querrey hasn't lost against a player of Brown's level for quite some time now and I do believe that the run isn't going to end today.

Re: April 7 - April 13 ATP Mersin challenger event Back Thomas Fabbiano to beat Damir Dzumhur @ 2.06 on Betfair. 3pts. I accidentally caught Fabbiano's match against Becker a few weeks ago and I was really impressed so I took a mental note to watch for him on clay, so far he has disposed of both of his opponents in 2 sets, not certain he will achieve that feat again but I do see him winning, he holds a 1-0 H2H which may possibly have some bearing,...also from the same challenger tournament I give you...... Pere Riba to beat Gombos 2-0 @ 2.02 on Betfair 7pts. My reasoning here is quite simple, Riba is very much the clay specialist and so far has disposed of his opponents in easy sets, wheras Gombos has struggled in his 2 matches and was a shade fortunate to get this far, there is a gulf in class here,expect an easy win for Riba who I also expect to win the tournament as it happens! (Sadly can't find a market for that) Roberto Carrballes Baena .... that's quite a mouthful to pronounce ain't it? but you better get used to hearing this young kids name because he is destined for much MUCH bigger things I feel, again having watched him for the past few months I have to say he seems to have it all, really great groundies, fantastic retrieving and an attacking accurate game,he also has a really great temperament and attitude on the court, it was nice to see him take out world no 38 Jaoa Souso yesterday especially after unluckily losing the first set and the fighting from 5-2 down in the second. So my bet here is for RCB to beat An Kuznetsov in the ATP Casablanca event @ 1.88 on Betfair . 5pts. Also from the same event...... Benoit Praire to beat GGL @ 1.85 on Betfair 2 pts . Not massively confident here but I think he will get the job done in the end, he does have a 2-0 h2h but he also does have a stinking attitude which always makes me wary of risking too much moolah when it comes to backing him,that said he is the more talented player and should win. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :D

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Kenny de Schepper to beat Potito Starace for a 5/10 stake at 3.01 with Pinnacle The price is now too good for me to not have a small punt. Kenny de Schepper might not be at his best on clay and he's not going to like the Monte Carlo conditions, but Potito Starace hasn't been that threating lately either, so I would have the Frenchman at around 2.20 here, definitely not around 3.00.

Re: April 7 - April 13 Back Federico Delbonis to beat Marcel Granollers for a 7/10 stake at 1.80 with William Hill Delbonis is on an eight-match winning streak on clay at the moment and he seems to be playing with a lot of belief in Casablanca, so I think that he's going to get yet another good win today. Meanwhile, Granollers has been far from convincing from what I've seen and he came into Casablanca on the back of some really poor losses, so I am yet to be convinced that he's already fully back on track.
