Well, it's certainly strange that he's playing in a clay Challenger for the first time since what...2010?...and that he's doing so while being signed up for Metz next week, which is indoors. My best guess is that he's going to win one or two rounds and then depart, maybe against Cecchinato let's say. Certainly no value in backing him, the only value there can be is watching his matches and perhaps going against him live in one way or another. I would be very surprised to see him win the entire thing, but who knows? DrO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechPunter Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Quick research: In 2010, he played (and won) the Bordeaux Challenger - just before a Grand Slam, in France, so that makes sense. Before that, he played some Challengers in 2005 by the looks of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechPunter Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Take note of Yibing Wu....China might have someone truly legitimate in the men's game for the coming years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyDelight Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) You think that is bad. Try what I just experienced in the Challenger tournament in Poland Alexander Bury (Ranked 1600 in the world, ranked over 100 in doubles, in 30s) v Dustin Brown (105 in the world) on clay and past finalist in this tournament The handicap is set at 18.5 games Brown takes 1st set 6-3, he is 5-0 up. Throws 4 straight games with some half effort trick shots. Then has no problem serving it out to cover the over 18.5 games by 0.5 margin Brown won 6-3 6-4 (was 5-0 up in 2nd set) Edited September 12, 2017 by KennyDelight CzechPunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechPunter Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 @KennyDelight Well, I can at least see some rational explanations for that one (mainly concerning Brown's typical attitude), but yeah, I'm afraid that there aren't many favourites that you could trust on the Challenger circuit in the early rounds. Still waiting on what the TIU finds in the Dolgopolov investigation, that should be interesting and telling. If they do absolutely nothing and say that everything was fine, it will be really really sad - and I'm afraid that I can't emphasize enough how sad that would be for tennis in general. There have been many great tennis stories this year, but this is the most important one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's an interesting one. Dolgopolov adamant that he gave best effort, then there's the medical condition that he suffers from. Admittedly I didn't see it, but in all honesty just by looking at his results over the years Dolgolpolov is unbackable for me. Draw your own conclusions from that.

CzechPunter Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 L.Rosol/R.Haase - Over 3.5 sets at 1.71 with Unibet These two have already played six fairly tight matches, so I don't see Haase winning 3-0 here, especially on clay. Rosol has had plenty of time to prepare for this and he tends to play well in Davis Cups, so four sets should be on the cards much more often than not. D.Goffin/J.Millman - Over 3.5 sets at 2.10 with Paddy Power Goffin hasn't been fit since the French Open and his recent results are quite telling, so I'm not sure why this is priced above evens. Unless Millman chokes big time, he should be able to challenge the home guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechPunter Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 S.Darcis/N.Kyrgios - Over 33.5 games at 1.85 with Pinnacle This also looks a touch low to me in all fairness. Neither guy is completely fit and that's obviously a risk, but Kyrgios isn't going to lose this under the line, is he? So it should be all about Darcis - and the home conditions should allow him to get a set or a few tie-breaks imo. He's always tremendous in home DC matches and his slices should frustrate Kyrgios as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CzechPunter Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yibing Wu (+5) to beat Yen-hsun Lu at 1.86 with Pinnacle Yibing Wu is still pushing forward, so he might even have a chance of winning this one. In any case, the handicap looks a touch high to me at 5 games given everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
