I must take this bet. In spite of the fact that Gerasimov is No404 in the world I have more faith in his abilities indoors than the one of Melzer. The Austrian has aggressive game and powerful shots but mentally he tends to give up to the pressure and often looks out of motivation when faces low ranked opponents like Gerasimov. The Belarusian prefers the indoors conditions and he can play very good tennis indoors. He has clear game plan and he is aware where the limits of his abilities are. So I back Gerasimov to win.

This is match from the third round of ATP Miami. Querrey is looking in solid form as he won ATP Acapulco and he is 8/2 w/l in his last ten. He is powerful player with huge serve. His problem is the modest backhand and the moderate footwork when he goes into defence. In the H2H Bautista – Agut is leading with 2-0. The Spaniard retired in Indian Wells but he is more than motivated to make deep runs here. He has excellent footwork and all of the shots. He has greater variation in the shots and game plan. Last year he reached R16 here and Querrey has passed just once the 3rd round here and it was because he was granted walkover from M.Raonic. My call is win for Bautista - Agut.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round and I see nice opportunity here for the talented Norwegian. Ruud likes the clay most and he may not have a lot of experience on the hard courts but definitely will play with boosted morale after the semifinal on ATP500 in Rio. Lu is in dreadful form and he has won just four of his eleven matches this year. More important he has just two matches in which he did not dropped a set. I think Ruud will win a set minimum here.

Tip Preview:
I simply do not trust to Stakhovsky. He is player who counts on his big serve and good game near the net, something that can be can perform rally well. On the other hand in the longer rallies he is quite unreliable and his mentality is vulnerable. Just like Stakhovsky Albot is not in optimal form but still he is player who does not give up points easily and more important he has better stats on hardcourts outdoors 190/146 for the Ukrainian against 172/82 w/l for the Moldovan.

Tip Preview:
I could not trust to the Russian in this one. She reached the semis on ATP Moscow, but it was indoors and more important Vikhlyantseva was granted walkover on the quarter finals. She is a hitter and when her game is on song she can be very dangerous. Arruabarrena-Vecino is player who is resistant in the longer rallies but has also enough power in the shots. Her form speaks six losses in a row but she lost from decent opponents like Strycova, Safarova, Putintseva, Rogers. I think the Spaniard may even win this one but I will stick with a win of a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of the qualifications for entering in the main scheme of ATP Miami. Olivo had some good matches on hard courts last year but it seems he failed to keep the high level. Moreover he is in modest form this year with 5-9 w/l. Bublik is younger and talented. He also lost two in a row but before that he won the Morelos Challenger. He has huge serve and likes the hard courts. This will be first meeting between them. Olivo has some chances but he is not consist enough to do more damage than a set. This one may get tight but at the end the end Bublik will be the winner.

Tip Preview:
I am tempted from the represented odds. I was about to miss a bet for Bedene as odds around 1.65 are questionable, but on odds bigger than 1.70 I am going deeply under ground. Rublev make me great impression couple of year ago with his appearance on ATP Geneva on clay. My guess was that he will break in the first 50 at least but he is yet to fulfill that. Something happen and he simply stop evolving. I think the weak mentality and mostly the fact that he gives up rather easily when is trailing in the result are pulling him back in general. Bedene is strange player. He likes the clay most but has aggressive game with very strong serve and can play excellent on hard courts too. Bedene is former champion and he is playing great tennis. I think the fatigue of Rublev simply will not allow him to play seven competitive matches in a row.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the quarter finals of ATP Indian Wells. The odd for the American is raising and maybe there is some logic in that. I think this is mostly because Sock won all of his matches so far in three sets. On the other hand he survived in all of those clashes and gained huge mental boost. Sock has already won two titles and he is 9/1 w/l in his last ten matches. Nishikori is flawless here and did not drop s single set so far. Still he showed that he is vulnerable and if Sock did not win this he stand a nice chance to win a set. In the H2H the results is 1-1 and Sock won the last meeting. I think with little luck and the support from the crowd Sock will win a set at least.

Tip Preview:
Halep likes to play here and she has reached the quarter finals here at least in the last three years. On the other hand the game of the Romanian is in clear downtrend and she has played just five matches this year 3/2 w/l. Mladenovic in the same time is playing decent tennis and she moved to her top career ranking. She reached the final in Acapulco and overall she is 15/7 w/l this year. Both have big power in the shots from the back of the courts as Mladenovic has better serve and game near the net. In the H2H the result is 2-1 for Mladenovic as the French won the last two meetings so my call is Mladenovic to win a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the quarter finals of the Santiago Challenger. Daniel won two matches in a row for second time this year. The other case was on Maui Challenger. He is crafty player on clay and has great potential but often does not hold on mentally. In the direct encounters Bolelli is leading with 1-0 and the match was on clay last year. The Italian is overall the better player and he is very aggressive with good serve. He waited patiently to fully recover and this is his second event for 2017 on singles. On doubles he already played eight matches and reached two semifinals – in Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo. He won against L.Mayer in the previous round and I think he will win this one.

Tip Preview:
I think here Lorenzi is underrated. Haase has played lower amount of matches on hard courts outdoors 91/77 w/l against 145/111 w/l for the Italian. Both prefer the clay and the game of both suits the clay most. On the other hand Haase is more passive in the rallies and prefers to keep the ball with good depth. He is more patient and often way too passive. The Italian has more aggressive game and mixes up his game with drop shots and attacks to the net. In the H2H the result is 2-0 for Lorenzi with both matches on clay. I think here Lorenzi will win a set minimum.

Tip Preview:
Kovalik eclipsed on ATP Chennai and beat M.Cilic but afterwards he is far from impressive. He is having excellent footwork and good shots from both sides but he likes to play mostly on clay. Trungelliti is the same type of player but his serve is stronger and last year he played more matches on hard courts outdoors than any other surface and finished 20-12 with second round on the Australian open and two semifinals on Challenger events. Moreover he won both matches against Kovalik in straight sets and one of them was this year. I think the Argentinean will win this one.

Tip Preview:
De Schepper is 8-2 in his last ten matches and he is looking forward into this game, but I doubted there will be some easy times for him. Melzer is leading with 2-0 in the H2H and he won the sole meeting indoors in straight sets. Moreover Melzer just handled with much more dangerous J.Janowicz with 7-5;7-6. The Austrian is the more experienced player and he showed that he knows how to get the job done against the French so I back Melzer to win.

Tip Preview:
Cuevas is back to back champion here in the last couple of year and going against him is looking harsh especially on those odd. If we look closer we will notice that he is having modest year with just 2/4 w/l and sole win on clay here. He lost from De Greef in Rio and this is not speaking well for him. Schwartzman is 5/2 w/l on clay this year with the losses came from top 10 opponents – K.Nishikori and D.Thiem. The Argentinean can be very aggressive and he is leading with 3-1 in the H2H. On clay the results are 1-1. In the moment Schwartzman is looking more confident and with clear game plan than Cuevas so I back the Argentinean to win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16 of the ATP Dubai. Monfils is player who seems to get finally playing percentage tennis not to entertainment the audience. Still he is counting to win his points either after good first serve or in long exhausting rallies. This will be first match between them. Evans raised his level of play and for sure will be additionally motivated after the eliminating of S.Wawrinka. Evans is very consist from the base line but he also uses every chance to attack to the net and finish off the points fast. I think the Briton could even win this one but I prefer to stick with the bet for win of a set.

Tip Preview:
Janowicz won the sole previous meeting which was indoors too but lost a set. The Polish has huge first serve and very powerful shots from the back of the court. Also he mixes up his game with drop shots. Gerasimov is also player with strong first serve and good shots from the back of the court. He is really competitive only in indoors in my opinion. I was very impressed with his win over L.Lacko in the previous round. Gerasimov played final here last year and will be very motivated to defend his points. Janowicz is still on the comeback trail and Gerasimov already won five matches here, so my call is win for Gerasimov.

Tip Preview:
I still estimate Golubev as shaky player who can play super bad or excellent tennis. His serve is good and the forehand will win most of his points. His problem is the modest footwork and the total lack of abilities in defence. Still he will face Ivashka who is youngster form Belarus and had never been in the first 160 of the word. Ivashka is ball basher and can be machine for winners or unforced errors. Golubev showed some signs of improvement against Nedovyesov. I see bigger chances for Golubev than the odds and priced him at 2.50 tops so on that odd he deserve a small bet.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16. It is a big risk to back Fognini because the talented Italian can decide in any moment that he will abandon the whole match but also when he is focused and his game is on he is one of the most dangerous players on clay. He has all of the shots and can play well in the long rallies but also can finishes the points fast near the net. In the H2H the Spaniard is trailing with the devastating 1-6 but all of the five clashes on clay has been won from Fognini. Ramos is lefty with good serve and excellent forehand but sometimes lacks of confidence. He is not playing bad this year but he is also far from impressive. I think Fognini will win this one.

Tip Preview:
In my opinion the Japanese is feeling sorry for the choice to make the “Gold swing” in South America and may decide to leave as soon as possible. He lost in straight sets to Dolgopolov in the final of Buenos Aires and was also in big problems against Berlocq in the semifinal, so I see problems for him against Bellucci. The Brazilian play with left hand and his game suits the clay court perfectly. He is very aggressive and when his game is on he can beat virtually anyone on clay(from four matches against Djokovic he won set in three occasions and one of them was 6-0). In the H2H the result is 1-1 with both matches on clay. I think in Brazil Bellucci will steal a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of ATP Delray beach. Johnson is the better player overall so far and the more experienced one. On the other hand he did not impress with anything so far. He has record 6/4 this year and loss from Kukushkin in Memphis and drop a set against Smyczek. In the H2H Kozlov is leading with 1-0. Kozlov is just 19 years old but has evolved his game very well. He won the Columbus 2 Challenger last year and lost two other Challenger finals. He does not started the year very well but still I do not see him as such huge outsider. Due that I go for win of set of Kozlov.
