Tip Preview:
Melzer did not perform well in Moscow but he will be highly motivated to perform well at home against the Austrian No1. Thiem is out of form with three losses in the last four matches. Last couple of years he was busted in the first round so he will play under pressure here. Melzer is leading with 2-1 in the H2H and will have no fear to face the world No10. I see tight match in which Melzer to win a set minimum.

Tip Preview:
I must lay Wawrinka. He plays with additional pressure to be the US open champion and to play at home. Surprising or not Stan lost four times in a row in the first round here and no matter that his countryman is looking like an easy opponent the case may be quite different.
Chiudinelli spend a lot of time on indoors conditions and he is always playing with wild card here. This will be the first meeting between them and I think we may see a slight upset and Chiudinelli to steal a set.

Tip Preview:
This is the final match from ATP Moscow. Fognini once again eclipsed and I was not expecting him to make an impact here but he did. The Italian has the necessary paste in the strokes and the variation to be competitive on all surfaces but his weak spot is his serve, who is rather weak. Carreno – Busta’s form is more than questionable but he continues to win his matches. The Spaniard has decent serve and has no fear from the long rallies. He is consistent performer and that quality gives him big chances against shaky Fognini who is always suspicious to give up a set and often a match easily. I think the Spaniard will win a set here.

Tip Preview:
The odd dropped down a little bit but still worth a bet. This is match from the first round of WTA Masters. Keys is going to make her debut. He has powerful serve and excellent forehand but the pressure from the debut will do his part. In the H2H Halep is leading with 4-1 and won the last four matches. The Romanian is not only good in attack but in defence too. Keys has some fitness issues lately and she might not be on 100%, so in this one I back Halep to win.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the semifinals. Bangoura is near to his best ranking. Overall he is modest competitor but likes the hard courts and has good serve. Groth is player famous with his huge serve and usually it is very hard for him to break his opponent’s serve. This will be first match between them and the difference in the ranking and form is not that huge so we to expect one sided match so I think we will see 23 games minimum.

Tip Preview:
Sandgren is player which I rate highly. He is having big serve and he hits the ball as hard as he can from the base line. That is style that allows him to be competitive against much stronger players and backed when outsider and the opposite lay when being a clear favorite. Unfortunately Groth is player who also has strong serve and like the shorter rallies. Both have modest return but will win a lot of easy points on serve. Because of that I think we will see over 22.5 games.

Tip Preview:
Zemlja is back on track, The Slovenian is former top 50 player. He is playing well from the base line and his serve is ok. Trungelliti has big shots from the back of the court and good serve also. On the other hand the Slovenian is more experienced and more successful on hard courts. This will be the first meeting between those two and in spite that the Argentinean is in good form I doubted that he can win more than set here, so my pick is win for Zemlja.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the Santiago Challenger. Zeballos is in good form with 7/3 w/l in the last ten matches. Moreover he is in the first 100 – No72. He reached the final last year and will try to do better this year. He has good serve and excellent volleys. Gonzalez is having better footwork than Zeballos. Due that he is better in defence and he is more solid from the base line. In the H2H Gonzalez is leading with 7-0 and more important is that in the last five matches Zeballos did not won a set. I think on this odd we should back Gonzalez.

Tip Preview:
This is match from ATP Antwerp. This event will be held for the first time this year and in cation we will see their No1 David Goffin. The Belgian is in form and he is excellent base liner who also has nice serve. On the other hand in the H2H the result is 2-0 for Mayer. Something more the German has already tasted the conditions and he beat T.Robredo in the previous round very persuasive with 6-2;6-2. The most likely winner should be Goffin but I think Mayer stand a pretty good chance to win a set and the odd is more than good.

Tip Preview:
The Spaniard is having great season and won his maiden title(in Bastad). Also he reached a final on hard courts in Chengdu, beat G.Dimitrov and D.Thiem back to back which is fairly impressive. This will be first match between them. Donskoy has the talent to be top 50 regular, but he does not improve his game enough and remain player who is most successful on Challenger events. He is not bad with good footwork and serve, but overall nothing special. I think the more consistent Ramos will prevail.

Tip Preview:
Dzumhur is clay court specialist but he tends to play good on all surfaces due his game style. His excellent footwork and the ability to turn the defence into attack make him very dangerous. He is very depended from his mood but when he is concentrated he is a real danger. This will be first meeting between them and I think the talented Russian is overrated. Khachanov is powerful hitter but when put under pressure the lack of abilities could be vital. They are great expectations from the Russian and I think that will be too much for him. My call is the Bosnian to win a set.

Tip Preview:
I do not have any hesitation in this one and back Trungelliti on 100%. Clezar is player who is more competitive on clay, but has very aggressive game with good serve so he is testing the hard courts in the US but he is far from successful. In the H2H Clezar is leading with 1-0 but the match was on clay. The Argentinean has some really good games on hard courts this year and she is looking more reliable and his record this year on hard courts is 14/9 w/l against 6/8 w/l for Clezar. I back Trungelliti to win.

Tip Preview:
Novikov was determined as great talent with bright future but he failed to involve his qualities. The American is typical hitter with good serve but lacks of consistence. In the H2H record McGee is leading with 3-0 and two of those matches were this year. McGee lost his last two matches but has won his eight before those two. Novikov is 5/5 w/l in his last ten and lost three in a row in straight sets so my call is win for McGee.

Tip Preview:
Johnson is real machine on hard courts this year but most of his success is on outdoors. He plays rarely on indoors and this year he played one match hand lost it. Albot is playing mostly on Challenger level but very successful. Albot is more used with the indoors conditions and he played six matches on indoors courts already since the US open. The serve will be the great advantage for Johnson but his form is modest enough for Albot to steal a set.

Tip Preview:
I am more than surprised to see Bencic in the position of and outsider. It is true that Kasatkina is in form and she will play at home in Russia, but still she is not looking that trustable. In the direct encounters Bencic is leading with 1-0 and the match was indoors this year in St Petersburg. Bencic is powerful player and more talented than the Russian in my opinion and rather sooner than later she will get back on track and I back the Swiss to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Rosol is player who has all necessary to be competitive on indoors – strong serve and even stronger base line strokes. On the other hand the Czech is very determined and dangerous when playing in the position of a favorite he is quite unreliable. Rosol won both previous meeting in straight sets but right now Melzer is in the form of his life. This will be his first match on indoors in a while, but I think he has what it takes to win a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the quarter finals and I am very surprised to see the Argentinean in the position of outsider. He is having successful season and break in the first 100. He is holding record 44/18 w/l on clay and against modest L.Mayer who is ranked outside of the first 100 his chances are significantly better than the odds given. This will be their first meeting and I think Monteiro will be competitive enough and will win.

Tip Preview:
Giraldo is clay court specialist who has sharp strokes and can be competitive on hard courts too. Still his footwork is not that great and often when put under pressure he is capable of losing easy points. In the H2H the results is 1-0 for Zemlja and the Slovenian trashed Giraldo on the Roland Garros with 6-1;6-4;6-1. Zemlja is on the comeback trail and no matter that he lost seven from his previous eight matches prior this event here he is playing very well. The Slovenian won both of his matches with 2-0 sets and he is looking forward into this clash so I back Zemlja to win.

Tip Preview:
I do not see Cibulkova as such huge favorite here. The Slovakian is very aggressive player with good footwork but she did not look well in her last two matches and lost against P.Kvitova and A.Cornet. Bencic is younger and in my opinion she has bigger talent than Cibulkova. This will be the first meeting between them. Bencic is also very aggressive by she has significantly stronger serve, so in my opinion here the Swiss will clinch a set minimum.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round of ATP Shanghai. Pouille is in decent form and he plays superb tennis. He is having nice serve and very sharp strokes. He is all around court player and he is on his top ranking. Almagro is a veteran and clay court specialist. In the same time he can hit the ball very well from his forehand and his serve has great variation and paste. In 2013 Almagro reached the quarter finals here and he is the more experienced player. I think this match will be close and the Spaniard will steal a set.
