Event	Vassallo-Arguello vs Daniel
Selection	Vassallo-Arguello to win
Strength	10/10
Date	01/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.62 (Back)
Reasoning	Typical claycourt encounter here. We have two typical claycourters and both are improving their tennis latelly. Vassallo-Arguello is favourite here, but it won't be easy match at all. Argentinian Vassallo is performing above expectations reaching fourth round of French Open, semifinals of Biella challenger. Last week he played in Kitzbuhel and won in first round against Dick Norman in two, but lost to Youzhny 6-0 4-6 6-7(2). His opponent, Daniel Marcos is maybe a little more challenger player, but still in a very good form. Marcos also played in Kitzuhel last week and also reached second round defeating Montanes and losing to Andrei Pavel, both games were in two sets. They also have very interesting h2h: 2000 Gramado Challenger 32 Hard (O) M.DANIEL 6-2 6-1 2000 Brazil F2 Futures 32 Clay (O) M.VASSALLO-ARGUELLO 5-7 3-6 2001 Sao Paulo 2 Challenger QF Clay (O) M.VASSALLO-ARGUELLO 5-7 3-6 2005 Quito Challenger 32 Clay (O) M.DANIEL 6-3 5-7 6-4 2006 Santiago Challenger 32 Clay (O) M.VASSALLO-ARGUELLO 4-6 4-6 2006 Biella Challenger 32 Clay (O) M.VASSALLO-ARGUELLO 4-6 6-4 5-7 So, they played six times and Vassallo won four, including last two matches. I expect today Vassallo to win again, but it won't be easy at all, so over games too.

Selection	Gaudio -5.5 games to win (Asian Handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	01/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>10bet @ 1.89 (Back)
Reasoning	Gaston Gaudio, borned to play on clay. He will meet Boris Pashanski today. It looks like terrible form of Boris Pashanski has no end. He had some nice performances during February and March in South America, reached 60th position in the world and is playing worse and worse. But, beside this results he has no major success in professional tennis, and if he didn't have these results at the beging of the season most likely he would be just another "challenger only" player. On the other side, Gaston Gaudio isn't in a best form. He had some nice performances in Monte Carlo, Acapulco and other claycourt tournaments. But since French Open where he reached fourth round, he lacks of great results. Gastaas, quarterfinals and lost to Richard Gasquet, Stuttgart, lost to Zabaleta. Finally, last week he showed some good tennis defeating Juan Monaco and Dennis Gremelmayr, but lost to winner of that tournament-Calleri. Pashanski has 11 losts in a row! KOubek, Soderling, Djokovic, Volandri, Davydenko, Llodera, Safin, Agassi, Greul, Bozoljac were players who won against him quite easily. So, this is great chance for Gaston Gaudio to raise his level of form and progress easily to the next round.

Re: ATP Sopot/Washington & WTA San Diego 31st July - 6th August Event : Massa-Dev Varman MASSA to win There are 1030 places difference between the 2 players. Dev Varman has played only a few FU tournaments , not even played a chalenger in his career and is now 21 years old this year. Just wonder how he got a wild card to play here. The difference of class should be far too big. Massa : 1.4 on betfair at the moment

Reasoning	Interesting match here. Both of them are in a good form. Juan Monaco was a finalist at Stuttgart Open and Melzer is having really nice tennis since Wimbledon. He played semies in Newport, third round in Stuttgart and quarterfinals of Kitzbuhel. H2H is from this season, Monaco already won once against Jurgen. It was two weeks ago in Stuttgart, 6-4 6-7(3) 6-4. I expect the same battle today. So, I really see value in backing both players to win 2-1 in sets.

Selection	Chakvetadze to win 2-0 in sets
Strength	10/10
Date	01/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>10bet @ 1.85 (Back)
Reasoning	Kostanic is in very, very poor form. She had a very good start of the season, but after Banglore tournament in February, she is playing very bad. She didn't play since Wimbledon, and there she lost in first round to Ashley Harkleroad. Between Wimbledon and Roland Garros she played only two tournaments, in Zagreb challenger where she lost to unknown Nagy and in Hertogenbosch where she lost to Paola Suarez taking just two games. Still, she had a wedding a while ago, and I really doubt that she is focused on tennis right now. Anna Chakvetadze is in much better form. She reached third round of Wimbledon losing to Henin-Hardenne, but she was better previously against Vesnina and Yan. After Wimbledon she played Fed CUp and won against Ivana Lisjak from Croatia two times in tie-break. I have full confidence that Chakvetadze will win tonight in two easy sets.

Strength	10/10

Reasoning	Great in-form player Zvonareva takes on veteran, mostly doubles player Ai Sugiyama. Zvonareva has 24-15 this season, and she won Cincinnati Open without a single set lost. Also, she performed well last week when she won Dechy and Srebotnik but lost to Clijsters in three. Ai is playing doubles mostly and is without any major win on hard this season. Full confidence in Zvonareva.

Reasoning	Peer had great season on clay.Now it's time for hard.Dulko plays just an average tennis whole this year and she haven't started her hard court games better.Last week she losed easilly in 1st round against poor Morigami.And before that she made it to the 2nd round of Cincinnati where she won against crappy Domachowska in 1st round.Peer played just one hard court tournament so far after grass but hard is her favourite surface and she shouldn't have many problems to adjust.

Reasoning	Fillipo Volandri is in-form in the right moment. Yesterday he defeated Gimeno-Traver 6-4 6-1. And, last week he played semifinals in Umag. On his way to semies HIdalgo, Portas and Gicquel were defeated. But, he lost to Stanislas Wawrinka in three, 5-7 6-2 4-6. Also, Volandri already won twice against Garcia-Lopez: 2005 Vina Del Mar 32 Clay (O) F.VOLANDRI 1-6 3-6 2005 Umag 16 Clay (O) F.VOLANDRI 1-6 1-6 Both time on clay, both times in two very easy sets. On the other side, Garcia-Lopez defeated Mariano Zabaleta 7-5 7-6. Before this tournament Spaniard was losing in first round of Umag and Amersfoort to Guzman and Moya. Volandri is in better form, playing in the part of the year he likes the most and I can't see anything but his win.

Selection	Davydenko to win 2-0 in sets
Strength	10/10
Date	02/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>10bet @ 1.75 (Back)
Reasoning	This is a bet against Juan Monaco, and on Nikolay Davydenko who always goes from strength to strenght in my oppinion. Russian had a very nice opener against Christophe Rochus two days ago and Juan Monaco struggled from a one set down to overpower Melzer. Still, recent performances of Nikolay Davydenko give me full confidence that he will win this match easy too. Two weeks before Davydenko was a runner up at Bastad Open, losing to Tommy Robredo. On the other side, Monaco is in good form, but nothing more than that. He is only a standard player for me, who can shine from time to time. But, against in-form Davydenko I don't think he has a lot of chances to prove me wrong.

Selection	Jiri Vanek to win

Reasoning	Vanek is in a quite good form. He performed well in Umag defeating Ventura and Dlouhy, but lost to great Novak Djokovic in three. Here in Sopot he won Di Mauro in two quite easy sets. On the other side, Michal Przysiezny is only futures/challenger players. Currently on the 364 position in the world. Generally, he plays very bad. Recently he is losing against names like Eschauer, Labadze, Piccari, Checa-Calvo, Widom, Zverev, all players who are much weaker than Jiri Vanek. Przysiezny is in second round only because his opponent Coria retired to him in first. Now, I expect much experienced Vanek to win this, easy or not.

Reasoning	Ana Ivanovic is much better player, at least for me. She had really good performances during this season and shouldn't have any problems defeating Chakvetadze. Ana performed well at Wimbledon and with two convincing wins here, she is totally favourite for me tonight. Akiko Morigami 6-2 6-1, Ami Frazier 6-3 6-2. On the other side, Chakvetadze won against Kostanic in two, but it was quite unconvincing. Yesterday she won against Nadia Petrova in three. H2H is 3-1 for Ivanovic, with two games on hard and both won by Ivanovic. So, here favourite for me, Chakva already played enough here.

Yesterday she won against Gisela Dulko in two easy sets, on the other side Paola Suarez is still recovering from injury, and beeing a typical claycourter... She should be already satisfied with her performance here and I don't execpt her to cause any kind of surprise today. Paola is already 30 years old and is recovering very slowly. They already met eight times, Paola leads 5-3 but, Schyder won last three meetings, all on hard.

Reasoning	I expect very close match here. Both guys are only average players and their time already passed, at least it looks like. Hrbaty was very good player, but never established himself in top10. He played nice tennis in LA reaching semies where he lost to Haas. Before Haas game he won all opponents in two sets. Yesterday night he was better than Gilles Muller in three hard fought sets. Tonight, Arnaud Clement should give him a close match. Clement won in first round against Bahami player-Sweeting 6-2 6-1. Frenchman already played well in Marseille earlier in the season defeating names like Ancic, Gasquet, Santoro, Verdasco etc. H2H is 3-0 in Hrbaty's favour, but no match was played on hard. Still, Hrbaty is better player for me than Clement. I believe he will win this, although it won't be easy.

Re: ATP Sopot/Washington & WTA San Diego 31st July - 6th August Event Hewitt vs Gremelmayr Selection Over 19.5 Games Strength 10/10 Date 03/08/2006 Bookmaker/Price Gamebookers @ 1.80 (Back) Reasoning Hewitt isn't in a best shape. He did won against Spadea last night, but it was more than a poor display. Beating Spadea in three sets 6-7(3) 7-6(5) 6-4 isn't convincing at all. On the other side, Gremelmayr already won against Wesley Whitehouse (RSA) 6-2 6-2, and last night Phau 6-4 6-3. Still, Gremelmayr had nice performances at Australian Open reaching 3rd round. I believe that he can hold at least eight times to Lleyton, or make a three setter match.

Reasoning	I'm still playing against Pierce.She is bach after long break and as previous match against Bammer showed she is not at her best.She was just better in important moments of that match and thanks to that she won.Laine is maybe not great player but she for sure have enough abilities to beat Pierce right now.She likes to play on hard and that seems to be her favourite surface.I'm hoping for a surprise here.

Henman is very unstable for sure. I know in the past he has done well at this tourny but Randall I think you made the selection here...if gambill can get a high serve % in then he will have a great chance of beating Henman. Best of luck!

Reasoning	Kenneth Carlsen is really enjoying his current form. After Wimbledon he came to US and played some really good tournaments on hard. Indianapolis-Stoppini and Hrbaty beaten, stopped by Muller. Than one week later he won against Srichaphan but lost to Ginepry. And now in Washington he won against Udomchoke and Srichaphan. Tonight, he'll meet Wesley Moodie. Moodie won against Querry and Sebastien Grosjean. Today, he'll have even better opponent. H2H scores: 2002 Surbiton Challenger SF Grass (O) W.MOODIE 3-6 6-7(5) 2003 Salvador 16 Hard (O) K.CARLSEN 7-5 6-7(5) 6-3 2003 Davis Cup 2003 Carpet (I) K.CARLSEN 6-7(1) 7-6(3) 6-3 6-4 2006 Surbiton Challenger QF Grass (O) W.MOODIE 3-6 6-3 3-6 I still believe that Carlsen is in better form now, and Over Games shouldn't be questionable in a game between those two players.
