Re: French Open 2014

Back Kristina Mladenovic (+6.5 games) to beat Na Li at 2.10 with MarathonBet Mladenovic has some decent wins on clay recently, in my opinion in front of the French crowd she might be able to grab at least 6 games (if Li is going to win this in two sets). Back Lucas Pouille (+2.5 sets) to beat Juan Monaco at 2.08 with Unibet Even if we are talking about clay Monaco is simply not the player I trust nowadays. Pouille reached the second round here last year, and I can see him taking away a set from the Argentinian.
Mladenovic actually won her match against Li, but Pouille lost 3-0 despite being in front with a break for a few occasions. I think next round Monaco's run will come to the end against Seppi.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Martin Klizan (-4.5 games) to beat Robin Haase at 1.85 with MarathonBet Although Haase seems to be on uphill right now (good progress at Bucharest, and confident win in the first round over here) I cannot see him matching Klizan. I know that Nishikori faced injury problems, but I watched that match and the Slovakian was impressing. I think he will be able to cover this handicap tomorrow and easily progress to the next round.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Timea Bacsinszky (+5.5 games) to beat Carla Suarez Navarro at 1.95 with MarathonBet Bacsinszky is coming from the qualifiers, but showing good form and I think she will be able to keep the pace with Suarez Navarro. The Swiss lady might not have an impressive service game, but she possesses a good return, so might be able to trouble her opponent when serving. The Spanish is a clay court specialist, but she surprizingly faced plenty of problems in the first round against a relatively unknown opponent. Back Varvara Lepchenko (+1.5 sets) to beat Angelique Kerber at 1.75 with Tipico (might appear better odds later at Pinnacle or MarathonBet) Lepchenko demolished Cetkovska in the first round, who in my opinion is a very good clay court player. It does worth to mention the Ameriacan has a positive H2H stat against Kerber (4-1), albeit their last match was won by the German. But Lepchenko was still able to take away a set that time, and taking into account her recent good form I am backing her to win at least one set tomorrow.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Daniela Hantuchova to beat Claire Feuerstein for a 8/10 stake at 1.72 with Pinnacle Despite her pretty average form, I still believe that Hantuchova will win this much more often than not. She's still the stronger of the two and also has the experience factor working in her favor, so I'd have her as a fairly big favorite in this match.

Re: French Open 2014

Simple one for me, Monaco to beat Seppi. Monaco's best surface, vs Seppi's worst. Monaco in 3/4 for me.
I don't agree with you. First of all Seppi is much rather a clay specialist, than hard court. Actually he is Italian :) Second, he sent home Giraldo in 3 sets, a player who showed impressive form on clay recently. Third, Monaco simply cannot be trust nowadays, and his service game was put under constant pressure in the first round by a wild card player...

Re: French Open 2014 Back Hlavackova/Safarova to beat Fichman/Pavlyuchenkova for a 10/10 stake at 1.57 with William Hill Can't see past the Czechs here, so I am going to invest the full stake into this one. Fichman and Pavlyuchenkova haven't played together before and the Russian played a pretty strange match against Date on Tuesday, so chances are that she won't be able to play her best tennis on Wednesday either. There's a massive gap between the two teams in my opinion, so I would have the Czechs around 1.20 here.

Re: French Open 2014 Back F.Bagnis/E.Gulbis - Over 3.5 sets for a 8/10 stake at 2.37 with Bet365 I do expect Gulbis to win this at the end of the day, but we all know that he can be a bit lackluster when it comes to playing against the weaker players and the Argentinian does indeed look like a player he might underestimate, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Bagnis stealing a set at some point.

Re: French Open 2014 Back J.Melzer/J-W.Tsonga - Over 3.5 sets for a 8/10 stake at 1.91 with 10Bet I fully expect Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win, but I find it hard to believe that he's going to get the job done in three sets. Jurgen Melzer hasn't been all that bad recently, after all, and he usually raises his game for these big occasions.

Re: French Open 2014 Back M.Raonic/J.Vesely - Over 39.5 games for a 8/10 stake at 1.99 with Pinnacle Both served really well in the first round, so this could easily turn into one of those serve-fests that nobody really likes to watch. It's rather likely that we're going to see a tie-break or two in this match, so I believe that this line will be covered much more often than not.

I cannot, but agree with you on this. I did watch Vesely's match with Karlovic last week, and you're totally right, he was able to keep his cool against the big server. But I was sad to see he was not able to convert any of his break points, but most of all his set points in both tie breaks. Even if Raonic is a better player from the baseline than Karlovic, I consider this Over a very good bet. :hope

Sorry to all who followed my tips for today... Klizan's -4,5 games handicap was almost covered, while Lepchenko had 4 set points in the second... At least Bacsinszky already covered her handicap. I should had a bet on Larsson against Pennetta, I was hardly thinking on that this morning...

Re: French Open 2014 Back Fabio Fognini (-6 games) to beat Thomaz Bellucci- at 1.81 with Pinnacle In the past 4 years, Fognini has been beaten in Roland-Garros only by Nadal, Tsonga, Djokovic and Wawrinka. Belluci does not appear to me as a player as the same calibre as those. In the first round, Belluci managed to lose two sets again Benjamin Becker who had never won a set in all his previous attempts on the red clay in Paris. True to say that Fognini can be erratic sometimes but he'll probably manage to keep his head cool for such a big tournament and therefore win this game without too much fuss.

Re: French Open 2014 Ridiculous results - Vesely throwing away the first set, Hlavackova/Safarova gone missing in the decider, only Hantuchova getting the job done. Sorry for that, bad run it seems. At least the outrights look quite good with Wawrinka and Li Na out already.

Sorry for the late approval. Somehow the system didn't allow your post to go through, should be fine now.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Jack Sock to beat Steve Johnson for a 8/10 stake at 1.88 with Unibet Steve Johnson should have lost against Laurent Lokoli on Tuesday and I can't see him progressing past Sock given what he's had to go through. The slower conditions should give a decent edge to Sock, who looked good in Nice last week, so I'm going to side with him in this match.

Re: French Open 2014 Sticking with Monaco here. If grass, I'd go the Italian all day long but expect Juan Monaco to have way too much on the red stuff. Far better mover, and with grass coming Monaco is going to need ranking points or he will plummet.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Ivo Karlovic (-1.5 sets) to beat Andreas Haider-Maurer for a 8/10 stake at 1.80 with SBOBet Karlovic has been ultra-solid lately, losing only against players much stronger than the Austrian, who's spending most of his time on the challenger circuit these days. One set might be within Haider-Maurer's reach, but Karlovic shouldn't allow him to achieve more than that.

Yes, even after taking Kiki's recent form into consideration I find the price big on Anastasia. So, I am going to have a punt on her for simply being the far better player.

Re: French Open 2014 Sloane Stephens to defeat Polona Hercog at 1.943 with Pinnacle While Sloane Stephens struggles recently, I still believe she can get into the next round and. I feel comfortable by the fact she produced 34 winners with only 18 unforced errors against Peng, which means she is gradually finding her rhythm back . The only thing worries me is she double faulted a bit too often. But on the other hand, Polona Hercog is also mediocre in recent weeks. So I am happy to back Stephens at such price

Re: French Open 2014 Mannarino is poor at clay and better at hard and grass court. You can check his past results. His win against Lu is the only win here in France since 2008, he lost all the singles and doubles match here before. His win over Lu is mainly because Lu is much clumsier at clay. Although I agree GGL is a bit overvalued, I don't think an upset is gonna happen here. maybe a set for Mannarino is possible.

$6.25 for Mannarino to beat GGL ? Am I missing something here ? Both can be clowns on the court and both very inconsistent. I see value on the French man. Small stake for me

Re: French Open 2014 Denis Istomin to defeat Philipp Kohlschreiber at 3.44 with Pinnacle I agree Kohlschreiber should be the favorite, but definitely not at this price (1.36). Both has good results recently. Their recent confronts in Munich and Dusseldorf were very close, with Istomin won Munich and Dusseldorf won Dusseldorf. Unless I miss some important information, I think this should be a hill-hill match. Much value for backing Istomin here.

Why is court 5 a good court? It will be packed with fans from the Netherlands which could help Bertens to get into a nice rhythm.

Re: French Open 2014 Back Denis Istomin to beat Philipp Kohlschreiber for a 7/10 stake at 3.44 with Pinnacle Kohlschreiber might have beaten Istomin last time out, but he still has an awful 1-5 record against the Uzbek, so I am more than happy to back Istomin at such a big price here. He should give the German a good fight - and chances are that he's going to beat him as well.
