Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Yanina Wickmayer to beat Camila Giorgi for a 7/10 stake at 4.00 with Bet365 A big price I'd say. Form is definitely on Giorgi's side, but 4.00? Wickmayer is a pretty decent player in her own right and her streak of losses isn't too worrying given the level of oppositions she's had to face, so I'll test the waters with a bet on her tomorrow.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Jana Cepelova to beat Elena Vesnina for a 7/10 stake at 2.10 with BetVictor Vesnina has never been a natural clay court player and she has a 0-2 record against Cepelova, so I'm not sure what everyone's seeing in the Russian at the moment.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Viktor Troicki (-2.5) to beat Victor Estrella for a 7/10 stake at 1.83 with Unibet The Munich conditions should suit Troicki more and he's also the better player of the two, so I expect a fairly easy win for the Serb. The fact that he crushed Estrella in Vienna last year can't hurt either.

Re: April 27 - May 3

Something like he did in Bucharest
Both matches were strange. In Bucharest he got really angry after some calls if I remember correctly and even wanted to quit outright, while here he just played passively. Strangely enough, Estrella wasn't even able to get the upper hand until the very last game.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Tereza Smitkova (+1.5 sets) to beat Lucie Safarova for a 5/10 stake at 2.62 with Paddy Power Back Tereza Smitkova to beat Lucie Safarova for a 2/10 stake at 5.40 with Unibet Safarova has never done well in Prague and she'll also have little practice going into this one, so fancy Smitkova to get at least a set off her tomorrow.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Olga Govortsova to beat Tsvetana Pironkova for a 7/10 stake at 2.00 with BetVictor Pironkova has never been a natural clay court player, while Govortsova has three nice wins going into this. Would have her as the favorite, especially given the Bulgarian's recent form.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Teimuraz Gabashvili to beat Andrey Kuznetsov for a 7/10 stake at 1.70 with BetVictor Gabashvili has the momentum from the qualifiers and he also looked in good nick in Barcelona last week, so I definitely fancy his chances of beating Kuznetsov tomorrow.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Radek Stepanek (-1.5 sets) to beat Farrukh Dustov for a 7/10 stake at 2.10 with Paddy Power Stepanek back on the winning track by the looks of things, while Dustov hasn't played for a while. I rarely bet on minus set handicaps, but the 2.10 that's on offer here looks worth taking to me.

Re: April 27 - May 3 [h=1]Goerges J. - Koukalova K. (+3,5games) @ 1.86 for 8/10[/h][h=1]Goerges J. - Koukalova K.@ 2.55 for 4/10[/h]Hard defeat for Klara K in Katowice, 1-6, 1-6 with Agnieszka Radwanska in QF, but this is a good opportunity to redeem herself. Goerges is an inconsistent player, nonimpressive on clay. H2H is 3-3, 1-1 on clay, with only one game finished in 2 sets, on clay, 6-1, 6-3 Koukalova, 2013 Bundesliga.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Yanina Wickmayer to beat Alexandra Krunic for a 7/10 stake at 1.83 with BetVictor Good win for Wickmayer against Giorgi and I think that she will be able to follow it up with another one against someone who hasn't been all that good recently. Personally, I don't rate Krunic anywhere near Wickmayer. Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/wickmayer-vs-krunic-betting-yanina-wickmayer-can-get-another-decent-win-in-prague

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Polona Hercog to beat Katerina Siniakova for a 7/10 stake at 1.91 with BetVictor Siniakova has been rather average recently and her win over Begu was largely down to the Romanian being awful, so I fancy Hercog at these odds, especially since she also beat Siniakova 6-3 6-3 at the start of the season.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino to beat Monica Puig for a 7/10 stake at 2.35 with 10Bet On such a slow surface, I'd give the edge to Arruabarrena-Vecino, as she can play patient tennis and draw the errors, Puig can't. The form book speaks in her favor as well. Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/arruabarrena-vecino-vs-puig-betting-monica-puig-to-be-opposed-in-marrakech-tomorrow

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Mischa Zverev (+1.5 sets) to beat Andy Murray for a 6/10 stake at 3.30 with Betway I'm obviously going to look like a complete fool more often than not with this one, but I'm happy to give it a go nonetheless. Zverev has looked surprisingly fine recently, has a tricky serve, Murray's first clay court match of the season, could get tough for Murray in my opinion.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Danka Kovinic (-2.5) to beat Yanina Wickmayer for a 7/10 stake at 1.72 with Paddy Power Time to stop backing Wickmayer I'd say. Kovinic has been superb recently and she doesn't seem to have any consistency issues, so I expect her to win with ease tomorrow.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino to beat Kristina Mladenovic for a 7/10 stake at 2.00 with Paddy Power Mladenovic is similar to Puig in many ways, the conditions should therefore make this match-up a favorable one for Arruabarrena-Vecino. Mladenovic might have beaten Muguruza, but this will be something completely different and I can't see her adjusting well enough.

Re: April 27 - May 3 wouldn't you agree that the odds are probably favourable for Wickmayer though? W4-L8 for the year so far isn't strong form i'd agree, but since she is 10+ places above in the WTA rankings, i think she is far too big.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Kevin Anderson 10 pts @2.18 on Betfair. Also 5 pts to win 2-0 @3.75 . Cannot believe he is not fav here, has a 2 zip H2H and although these were on hard and this is clay he is by no means bad on the stuff. Apart from that GGL has just come back from a very tough week in Bucharest where he was a tad fortunate to pick up the title and wouldn't have done so except his opponent Vesely is an Uber choker and a bit dim to be perfectly honest and threw away leads in both tie-breaks. Anyway I digress from the real point, GGL will not be as fresh as Big Kev and is an inferior player anyway, confident pick.

Nah, I wouldn't agree with that, consistency should win here and Wickmayer has shown none so far.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Good call Conde. Back Santiago Giraldo to beat Diego Sebastian Schwartzman for a 7/10 stake at 2.00 with Bet365 This looks wrong to me, Giraldo rarely loses against players without big weapons and Schwartzman is one of those. Would have the odds the other way around in all honesty. Full preview here: https://www.punterslounge.com/giraldo-vs-schwartzman-betting-santiago-giraldo-the-value-play-in-istanbul-on-friday

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back R.Haase/N.Kyrgios - Over 22 games for a 7/10 stake at 1.86 with 10Bet Two offensively-minded guys with good serves and average defense, this one has all the makings of a long match, so the overs look like the right call to me.

Re: April 27 - May 3 Back Philipp Kohlschreiber to beat David Goffin for a 7/10 stake at 1.73 with Betway Goffin hasn't beaten anyone of Kohlschreiber's quality since the start of the season, so there you go. Something really seems to be wrong with him at the moment, he clearly isn't the same guy that was winning back-to-back tournaments not even a year ago.

Re: April 27 - May 3 A tough week last week means I'm now at -14.706 for the season. There's a couple I like for tomorrow and I could certainly do with a run of good results. Fingers crossed. Daniel Gimeno-Traver (+1.5 sets) to beat Roger Federer @ 4.180 Pinnacle Daniel Gimeno-Traver (+5.5 games) to beat Roger Federer @ 1.800 Pinnacle Nieminen wasn't able to trouble Federer in the last round, but I think Gimeno-Traver could. The Spaniard has been in good form these past few weeks and he loves the red dirt, so he should be capable of covering the game handicap if not taking a set. Much will depend on his ability to play his normal game given the stature of his opponent, but if he can then I think these prices are wrong. I'm not sure how motivated Federer will be here with bigger tournaments on the horizon, but even if he is interested in going deep this week Gimeno-Traver is good enough to make sure he'll have to fight for it. Lukas Rosol (+1.5 sets) to beat Andy Murray @ 3.130 Pinnacle Lukas Rosol (+5.5 games) to beat Andy Murray @ 1.819 Pinnacle Rosol has played well so far this tournament and his win over Stakhovsky in the last round was a good effort as the Ukrainian had beaten him in both of their previous meetings this season, so this could be the time to back the Czech on a surface he likes and at a time of the year that he likes. Murray breezed past Mischa Zverev in his first match, but as the German has been away from the top level for so long I'm not sure whether he was the ideal opponent for the Brit ahead of this match. Rosol can hit big and although Murray is a great defender if everything clicks for the Czech he could well win here, but I'll play it safe by backing him on these handicap lines.
