Kamke lost already .. pretty upset about that .. but have to do a system play now to insure the rest of the matches 

Fucsovics to beat nishikori @ 4.83 with Pinnacle - 2 units 

Jung to beat Querrey @ 5.35 with Pinnacle - 2 units 

I think you're right about Marton Fucsovics but maybe not on Jason Jung, I will bet myself on Marton to beat the Kei.

that would be nice, but I wouldn't count on Jung to win for you this time.  I think Cuevas is playing pretty well, and he's far more likely to win in my mind or Thompson.. Still pulling for Jung tho.. Let's see what happens :cheers 

I took Halep @ odds 8 in the third set.. I should have won thousands of dollars on that bet, but it is what it is .. Still on the grind waiting for a big score. 

Nice move! I did the same, at third set 4-2 after Halep came back from 0-30 and then 3 BPs. The odds were then 4.95 great value in a very possible momentum change, especially in women tennis. Luckily for us, it worked out :) I had Svitolina and Mertens in a set handicap parlay, but also backed Kerber at the beginning of the second set. Let's see...

Kei Nishikori (-4.0) to beat Marton Fucsovics at 1.81 with Marathonbet

In this case im not right with you about the match between Fucsovics and Nishikori. Fucsovics has played 6 matches in 9 days and this is not best way to play against a Nishikori that is not playing his best tennis but who will be fit for this one (only 2 matches played here since the AO). I expected a hard match for Kei against Gulbis but I was wrong, he destroyed him (6-1 and 6-4 and could have been worse for him). Nishikori is more solid than Fucsovics and considering that he has played 6 matches in 9 days I expect a comfortable win for Nishikori.

I second you on this, Kei should be able to cover this handicap if no physical problems arise. It should be the end of a nice run for Fucsovics.

FYI: I am Hungarian, so I can share some info about Márton with you. He is looking to hire one more coach to make the next step forward. His current one told the media last year that Márton needs somebody who is able to work with him around 8-10 weeks a year to improve mostly his service and the efficiency of winning key points.
The name is Olivier Tauma, and he should join their team in the next two weeks.

Daniil Medvedev (-2.5) to beat Gael Monfils at 1.77 with Marathonbet

Medvedev is playing incredible the last weeks. Now he will face Monfils who is also playing well but not in the same level than the russian. Just one week ago Medvedev won easily against Monfils in the semifinals of Sofia (6-2, 6-4), so I expect another win for Medvedev here.

Reilly Opelka to beat John Isner at ? with ?

As soon as the prices come around I think I will back Reilly to beat Big John as there is 50/50 between these two who wins because of the serves they have. I think we'll see Reilly in his first ATP final now versus Sam Querrey.

Brayden Schnur/Sam Querrey over 22.5 games at 1.80 with bet365

Basically another toss up. Sam as slight fav, not big like 1.25 that he is. That's just because of ranking and experience Sam gets the favouritism. I expect three more sets for Sam here.

Back Lucie Hradecka to beat Polona Hercog at 2.20 with Pinnacle

The Czech lady is apparently going through a good time, which should give her the ammunition to qualify on the main table. She might have had some problems in the first set against Eden Silva, but then came back and stormed into the final round of the qualies. I was already thinking about backing Elbaba for a set against Hercog yesterday, but I was a p*ssy. I simply don't rate her good enough to win today.

UPDATE: forgot to mention that Hercog had a MTO yesterday, not sure though how serious her injury was.

Rogerio Dutra Da Silva -1.5 Sets @ 2.11 in SBOBet Stake 3.5/10

 

Rogerio Dutra Da Silva is a clay-courter, plays in his country and he's already used to the xlay surface 'cause he has played in Punta Del Este Challenger, ATP250 Cordoba and Buenos Aires and the Davis Cup games against Belgium.

On the other side, it will be the first game for Donati on clay-court 'cause his last game was in the previous draw from Montpellier in hard indoor.

Nothing much more to sat, it should be an easy win for the brazilian.

Hradecka won in 3 sets, let's go with another one...

Back Stan Wawrinka (+1.5 sets handicap) to beat Kei Nishikori at 1.74 with MaratonBet

In the early morning, the odds were at 1.86 with various bookies, I thought there is still time to post the pick, but since then dropped well. Not quite sure why the Japanese guy is such a favorite here taking into account the good form Wawrinka shown this week against more than reputable indoor players. Wawrinka troubled Nishikori well enough during their previous encounters should have a real chance here this afternoon. Over 1.70 for a set, really? OK, I'll take it.

Simona Halep (-1.5 Sets) to beat Elise Mertens at 1.96 with 888

Nothing much to say here. Halep has won the 2 matches that they have played by the fast way and both matches were played in 2018 (6-2, 6-1 in RG and 6-0, 6-3 in Madrid). I’m still disappointed with the awful performance of Mertens in the Fed Cup. It’s true that she has played better here but I expect a win for Simona in 2 sets considering that she is better and is in a better form than Mertens.

Yastremska to beat Muguruza at 2.00 with Bet365

Yastremska has been in terrific form this year and has a positive head to head against Muguruza. She is yet to drop a set against Muguruza and I believe she has enough firepower to get through this match. 

:welcome to PL @Crimson_Silhouette  :cheers

Dayana is still the underdog in this matchup because of her lower ranking. The oddsmakers doesn't seem to understand that Dayana is 18 years old and a big talent on the rise. So rediculous to set the odds by the rankings.

Definitely think there is value on Opelka @four-leaf with u there.. I am concerned Muguruza will seek revenge in dubai tho. 

I think she can seek revenge any time she wants but beating Dayana is a tall order when she has controll of rallies time after time in that matchup. Saw her last season when she beat Garbine and this season beating Garbine in Hua-Hin so no Dayana is a monster and will soon be top 20. Unless Dayanas level has gone down considerably since Hua-Hin she wont lose to Garbine. It's just unlucky for Garbine that she faces one of the best rising players right now. On clay I'd give Garbine a chance in this matchup but not on hardcourt, Dayana is just too confident on the surface.

Garbine has reached the semis twice in Dubai but only because she had some poor opponents and that is not what Dayana is. If she wants to beat Dayana she'll have to rise her level considerably or like I said Dayanas level has to go down and I don't see either thing happening.
