Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16 and in spite Garcia- Lopez will play in the Netherlands next week this Challenger is quite a big event with 125 points to the winner. The Spaniard is playing decent on clay this year and almost all of his matches were on ATP level. In the H2H the results is 3-3 with Garcia-Lopez winning the last two matches. The Brazilian can play outstanding tennis on clay but in the moment he is No278 in the world and his best is quarter final on Challenger event this year. I back Garcia – Lopez to win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round and I think the American is well priced. He won the sole previous meeting between them and last year finished with 8-4 w-l on grass. Moraing is having decent year but with only two matches on grass I doubted that he will be competitive enough against Fratangelo. I back the American to win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round. Edmund will play his first match on singles here and he lost his last two matches. Edmund knows how to play on the red dirt. His serve is very good and his forehand is his main weapon. This will be first match between them. I was very impressed from De Minaur performance in his first match. He was very balanced and has enough patience to build up his points. Also he has the necessary sharpness in the shots to hit a lot of winners. I am not fully convince that he can win this one but I am pretty sure that he will win a set at least.

Tip Preview:
Andujar is in outstanding form after he won thw Alicante Challenger and lately won Hassan II Open for third time in his career(two times in Casablanca and one in Marrakech). Bautista – Agut is decent competitor and also looked good against Karlovic. In the sole previous meeting Andujar won in three sets but that was back in 2005 on Futures o it is not relevant. I think Andujar will take a set at least here.

Tip Preview:
This is match on clay between two players that counts on the power of their shots. This will be their first meeting. Bublik plays rarely on clay but he is younger and very talented. Struff in the same time showed some hesitation against Istomin in the previous round and I think he will drop again a set minimum here.

Tip Preview:
In spite the good performance of the Bulgarian in Monte Carlo I think he will be vulnerable in his debut here. From one side Simon is leading with 5-3 in the H2H and from other the French already played one match here and was more than persuasive against I.Ivashka. Dimitrov tends to have big ups and downs on clay especially. Simon is a veteran and not near to his best but still won both previous matches on clay against the Bulgarian and I think he will steal a set.

Tip Preview:
I think the talented French could not be written off in this clash. Moutet is lefty and he has beaten Tsitsipas in the sole previous meeting. The Greek is more experienced on ATP level and more successful but I think he is playing well when facing higher ranked opponents and can be little shaky in this one. Moreover Moutet win two matches in the qualification and has better match practice. I back the French to win a set minimum.

Tip Preview:
I think here Robredo is underestimated. He is far from his best but the Spaniard likes the clay most and his game style suits the surfaces perfectly. He has good serve and his forehand is his main weapon. Karlovic is leading with 3-0 in the H2H and has beaten Robredo on clay before but still the last match between them was ten years ago. I think the Spaniard will win a set minimum in this one.

Tip Preview:
Donaldson is young and talented player. He is in Europe for the clay court season but I doubted that he will have easy times. He is not playing bad on the red dirt but he is far from reliable on it especially against clay court specialist like R.Dutra – Silva. The Brazilian won two matches in the qualifications and in spite being behind the American in the ranking he likes the clay most and has plenty of experience behind his back. I back Rogerihno to win

Tip Preview:
I think Bhambri is overrated here. It is true that he has won 15 from his 20 matches overall and he will face player who spends most of his time on the Challenger circuit juts like the Indian. On the other hand the Bosnian won the title in Sofia and this year is already the best in his career so far. Bhambri is more aggressive and will hit more winners. Basic is more consist and patient. I am tempted from money line for Baisc but the more reasonable line is +1.5 sets Basic.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the third round. I have no hesitation in backing up Chardy. He beat Benneteau and Fognini and for the second time in his career he is in the third round. Mannarino is decent opponent with left hand but he has lost all previous meetings with Chardy. Still Mannarino improved a lot in the last few years and I back Chardy only to win a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the semifinals. On the court we will see two clay court specialists who like the long rallies but also are very aggressive from the forehand and try to cover the whole court. Both play with one handed backhand but prefer to keep the ball in play and stays passive. This will be their first meeting. The Italian is crafty and dangerous opponent and he is the favorite due the modest form of Robredo. He lost six in his last ten matches but bounce back here with three good wins against decent opponent like P.Sousa, Ch.Garin and the relative unknown but in great form Moroni(who beat T.Monteiro and S.Ofner in straight sets). I think the Spaniard deserve a credit of trust on odds bigger than 2.25.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round. Both players are clay court specialists. In the H2H Giannessi is leading with 2-0 but the most recent meeting just a week ago ended in three sets 7-6;2-6;7-5. Kovalik in spite of the loss last week is 7/3 w/l in his last ten matches. In the same time Giannessi is 5/5 w/l. I do not see what has changed so much and the line of 20.5 games is looking excellent in my opinion.

Tip Preview:
I think McDonald is overrated in this match. This will be their first meeting. It is true that Sarkissиan is the lower ranked player but he plays exclusively on hard courts and has reached the first round here after went through the qualifications. McDonald lost four out of his last five matches and for sure will be under pressure here. Moreover Sarkissian played two matches here on the Indian Wells Challenger and he is more used with the conditions than McDonald. I think Sarkissian will steal a set at least here.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16. I think Bedene is overrated due his great run in Buenos Aires. Off course he is leading with 2-1 in the H2H but overall I evaluate the Spaniard as much more reliable player. He has more balanced shot from both wings and can play well in defence and in attack. Also The Spaniard reached the R16 of the Australian open and he reached the final last year. Bedene is good and capable of winning this. Still mentally he is pretty shaky and I think the fair favorite should ne Carreno – Busta and I go for his win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round. Cuevas is definitely the better player and the more experienced one. Moreover he is leading with 3-0 in the H2H. In the same time the form of Cuevas is quite shaky. He lost pretty easy from Monfils and will face local player in his debut. Monteiro lost his last two matches but one of those was on the semifinals in Quito. He is lefty with good serve and superb forehand and has beaten here Tsonga back in 2016. I think Monteiro will win a set in this one.

Tip Preview:
Gombos is a qualifier who did pretty well over Stakhovsky in the last match in the qualifications but the truth may be quite opposite. The Ukrainian is easily in the first round as lucky loser and he may know that before the match with Gombos. Still the Slovakian reached the quarter finals last year and will be very motivated to defend his points. Herbert is player who likes the shorter rallies with solid serve and volleys and who likes the fast finish of the points. In the only previous meeting Herbert win in three sets and I think we will see long match with 23 games minimum.

Tip Preview:
This is direct encounter for entering in the main draw of ATP Marseille. Stakhovsky is one of the few players that still plays serve&volley. He enjoys the fast surfaces and the indoors environment. In the H2H record Gombos is leading with 1-0 wins and the match ended in two sets but 6-4;7-6. Gombos is aggressive player and his serve is ok. His footwork is better than Stakhovsky but he could not win fast and easy points like the Ukrainian. My call here is for 23 games at least.

Tip Preview:
Start time is yet to be determined.
This is match from the R16. Thiem is the clear favorite and one of the best in the moment on clay. His game suits the game perfectly and he is hard to be stopped when his game is on. On the other hand in the H2H the result is 1-2 for Pella and he won the sole previous meeting between them on clay. Moreover Pella will play at home in Argentina. I think Pella will steal a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16. Delbonis is local player who has good serve and powerful forehand from which he can dictate the rallies. He likes the clay most but I think he is overrated in this one. He is trailing with 0-4 in the H2H. Moreover Elias in spite losing in the qualifications looked solid in the win over Carballes – Baena. Delbonis did beat F.Mayer but has lost four in a row before that win. I think the Portuguese will win this one.
