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.

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.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of the ATP Buenos Aires. Cecchinato is Challenger tour regular and decent player on clay. He has aggressive game and he is equally good when defend and attack. His problem is that he is too good for Challenger tour but too weak for ATP level. This will be their first meeting. Zebbalos will play at home and he is lefty with excellent serve which will be hard to handle from the one handed backhand of Cecchinato. All in all none of them is playing successfully in Buenos Aires but Zeballos is the higher ranked and the more experienced one other than he is playing at home. I go for win of Zebbalos.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round and I think the French deserve to be trusted. First of all he will play at home. His game is with good strong base line shots and solid first serve. Gombos is very aggressive player with good footwork and solid record on indoors 101/65 w/l. On the other hand he was beaten from Tabernerin his most recent match. In the H2H the result is 3-0 for the French and Gombos is yet to win a set. I think on odds higher than 2.35 a bet for Bourgue has good value and I go for it.

Tip Preview:
Usually I am more than happy to opposite Americans on red clay but Sandgren really came out of the blue and reach the quarter finals on the Australian open beating D.Thiem and S.Wawrinka. The American is powerful player but played some good matches on red clay last year and reached one semifinal and quarter final other than his one title and one other final on the green clay in USA. Bagnis is lefty and he will play at home in Argentina. Other than that he has no other edge over Sandgren. Off course Bagnis has played more on clay but he is 150 places below Sandgren in the ranking. On odds bigger than 2.10 Sandgren is my choice.

Tip Preview:
After the good performance of Tsonga yesterday I am keen to back him again. Pouille is tough opponent on indoors as he has flat shots and nice serve. In the H2H Tsonga is leading with 2-1 and the sole loss came way too easy in Vienna last year. The other meeting on indoors was also in 2017 and Tsonga won relative easily in Marseille’s final 6-4;6-4. Pouille was winless till this event in 2018 and the two wins does not impress me enough and my call is win for Tsonga.

Tip Preview:
I could not pass by this bet. Tsonga enjoys playing indoors and especially to do it in France. His big serve and the ability to finish off the points near the net makes him very dangerous. Rublev is aggressive player and also has good serve. He likes to be aggressive too but his footwork lacks when has to defend. This will be their first match and I think Tsonga will continue with his good matches from 2017 where he finished with 20/4 w/l. I back Tsonga to win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16.I am surprised to see Estrelal in the position of evens. He is three times champion in a row here and he is still coldblooded. Melzer is lefty with good serve and forehand but he has never achieved something memorable. This sis mostly due his weak mentality. In the H2H the result is 2-2. Melzer has never pass the R16 here and against the public favorite I think Estrella deserve to be trusted.

Tip Preview:
The start time is yet to be determined.
De Schepper is having better match practice as he has won two matches in the qualifications. He had powerful shots and he likes the fast conditions. In the H2H the result is 3-1 for Hebert. Hebert will play his first match on indoors this year. He also has sharp serve and strokes with better game near the net. In his last two appearances here he has won in the first round here. It seems Hebert knows how to counter de Schepper and I think on odds bigger than 2.00 he is the valuable choice.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round and I see pretty tight match. From one side Rublev has strong first serve. Still the Russian is counting mostly on the power of his shots and the Spaniard could take advantage from it. This will be the first match between them. Garcia – Lopez is far from his best but he is a veteran and knows how to keep the ball in play. Also he has good serve and will not give up easily. I see pretty close match as the conditions here are fast. My call is for 22 games at least.
