Risky

 

[britbox]

Yep, Any time Paire and bet are in the same sentence... risk alert!

 

[Bert]

Looks like after a slow start he finally decided to play better. Nothung really exciting today, I will have a look again but I struggle to pick a match

 

[britbox]

11 breaks in 21 games... Paire ties it up at one set apiece.

Took Sugita @ 1.31 in Newport on grass.

Paire folded like a cheap suit at the end of the third set..

Put some on Kohli at 1.18 - not good odds but I think he's close to a dead cert.

Unlucky with Paire. Kohli is a good idea. In the same odds range, Mannarino vs. Duckworth looks pretty safe in Newport.

Today, I picked Novikov vs. Estrella at Newport.

Estrella's records on grass are not good at all, he played in Cali on clay between Wimbledon and Newport, not great for the preparation.
Novikov played Manchester challenger, Hertogenbosch, Ilkley challenger and Wimbledon (losing in 2R in 4sets).

They played twice last year on hard Estrella won both in 3 tight sets, but on grass, with the last weeks results, I go for Novikov @ 1.58.

I've bet on Rajeev Ram at 1.9 to beat Dudi Sela in Newport.

I've bet on Rajeev Ram at 1.9 to beat Dudi Sela in Newport.

The funny thing is that Sela defeated Novikov on grass while Ram lost on Estrella on grass... looks like you took the opposite analysis of mine

Sometimes the odds are too tempting... I don't always think the guy will win, but worth a punt nevertheless. In this case, I think Ram will win a close match... but I'd call it a 55/45 match IMO and 1.9 odds are too tempting to pass up.

 

[Bert]

Bad day for both of us

Yep

Today, I picked Ferrer to win vs. Hemery (#378) in less than 19 games @ 1.78 and Mannarino to win vs. Groth @ 1.40

 

[britbox]

Picked Sousa today at 1.5

 

[Bert]

Went for Garcia-Lopez @1.49 in Hamburg and Edmund @ 1.53 in DAvis Cup
