Tip Preview:
Djokovic is doing pretty well with the heat, but the humidity is taking the best from him. The Serbian has just two titles from the US open and lost four finals exactly because of the heat. Del Potro is far away from his best but due the weather conditions and the fact that the match will be in South America the chances of the Argentinean won a set at least in the last four matches between them. I back Del Potro to win a set minimum here.

Tip Preview:
I think here the Spaniard is having excellent chances to push the Japanese to the wall. Ramos has good serve and can control the rallies if he takes the initiative. Here the conditions are pretty rough with a lot of humidity and heat which in my opinion will affect Nishikori. Ramos is in top form and boosted his confidence with a title in Bastad. Nishikori is also in good form with final in Toronto. In the H2H Nishikori is leading with 3-1, but the last match was win for Ramos and in both last matches Ramos won a set. I think here the small bet is a must.

Tip Preview:
Young was trailing with a set and two breaks in the second against Smyczek but somehow managed to win. That is actually good for us be cause we have the chance to go once again against the lefty. Opelka is player who counts on his huge serve and his forehand. He is playing with wild card here but managed to beat K.Anderson in the previous round after being set down and he did more than well here. Young is not very successful here in Atlanta and he passed the first round here for the first time since 2010(he is playing every single year). I think here the match will be close and Opelka will win a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16. Polansky is Canadian with good game from the back of the court and not a bad serve at all. He likes to play here but his maximum here was the R16 except in 2009 when he reached the semifinals. The Canadian is in modest form due the fact that he spend most of his time lately on Futures level, no matter that he is very successful. Whittington is very progressive player with huge serve. He is 23 years old and he is on his top ranking. He also played most of his matches on Futures level, but his two most recent tournaments were on Challenger level and he reached the final on the Gimcheon challenger and the semifinals on the Lexington Challenger. I think the Australian will win this one.

The start time and date are yet to be determined.
Volandri is more experienced and successful than Djere but in the moment the Italian is in poor shape. He lost 4 matches in a row before the surprising in my opinion) win over C.Berlocq in the first round here. The serve of Volandri is vulnerable. He made a lot of double faults and his backhand is modest. Dejere is leading with 1-0 in the H2H record and he beat the Italian this year on the Caltanissetta challenger. The Serbian is holding record 29-12 w/l on clay this year and Volandri is 17/17 w/l. Djere is 7/3 w/l in his last ten matches and reached the final on the Milan Challenger and quarter final on the San Benedetto challenger. Djere has one more good performance in Italy on clay – a semifinal on the Turin Challenger. I think any odd above 2.00 has great value.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round. Smyczek is not a tall player, but has a good serve and excellent footwork. He is player who takes full advantage from his abilities. He is having not a bad year with record 24/21 w/l from which 17/10 w/l on hard courts. Young has huge talent but he simply failed to involve it. He is lefty which serve Is unreliable – sometimes work perfect sometimes is completely unreliable. In the H2H record Young is still leading with 8-7, but the last three matches were win for Smyczek (they would be 4 if Young did not retired in Acapulco in 2014). Moreover they have one previous meeting in Atlanta and Smyczek won with 7-5;7-6. I think here a bet for Smyczek to win a set is a nice choice.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round. Klein has never been something special. His top ranking in No169 and in the moment he is No271. Something more he is having a poor year and holds record 7/12 w/l(3/5 w/l on hard courts). This will be the first meeting between them. Barrere is the higher ranked player and he is having decent year 27/18 w/l. It is true that he is holding negative record on hard courts outdoors, but he has good serve and solid aggressive game from the back of the court. The French did lose his last three matches but even though I could not see him anywhere near the odds represented. I see nice value here and go for it.

Tip Preview:
I think here the French has decent edge. In the H2H the result is 1-1 with the last match in 2015 was easy win for De Loore. The Dutch is decent form with 7/3 w/l in his lats ten matches, but the fact is that five of his wins were on Futures level. He has just one memorable appearance on Challenger level this season – a semifinal on the Mestre Challenger. In the same time Lestienne is coming after a semifinal on the Scheveningen Challenger and before that he reached the final on the San Benedetto Challenger. He lost two matches for the Bundesliga between them but in my opinion this does not matter. This year the French also clinched the title on the Ostrava Challenger and I think his bigger experience on higher level will win the match for him.

Tip Preview:
I really like the fighting spirit of Haase. He has good serve and can be really dangerous on the clay. He will play second final in a row as he lost to F.Lopez the final in Gstaad last week. The Dutch in the same time has pretty vulnerable mentality and if he is put under enough pressure he could start mistaking a lot. Pavlasek is very aggressive game with nice serve and can finish off the points near the net when needed. He has some problems till the final but I think in this one the motivation and the determination of the Czech will be higher in this one. No matter that the match will be held in the Netherlands I doubted that will give some edge to Haase. I see tight match and I back Pavlasek to win a set.

Tip Preview:
I doubted that Dimitrov has ever been in worst shape in his entire career. He got extremely lucky against Y.Sugita, due the fact that the Japanese lacks of experience on higher level. Dimitrov made tons of unforced errors and his serve was the easiest thing to be broken. Shapovalov is the Juniors champion from Wimbledon and he was granted wild card for the event here and in Washington. He gained enough confidence after lost 1-2 sets to Lacko in Washington and managed to beat the world No19 in the world N.Kyrgios here. Now I think he has the easiest opponent in the second round but the lack of experience is forcing me to take the Asian handicap for the young Canadian.

Tip Preview:
I could not pass the H2H result which is 5-0 for Anderson. Thiem is the higher ranked player and he is definitely in better shape than the South African. On the other hand Thiem lost three from his last four matches and will play his first match here. Anderson also lost three from his last four matches but beat V.Troicki in the first round here. Anderson reached the quarter finals back in 2014 and had a match point versus G.Dimitrov. Thiem has played once here and lost his sole match against G.Simon 6-3;4-6;0-6. Moreover he lost on his beloved clay against J.Melzer, which speaks enough for me. I think here Anderson could take a set.

Tip Preview:
I simply do not see the Czech even as a slight underdog here. Safarova is very experienced player with great serve and she uses her left hand. Moreover in the moment she is higher ranked than Bouchard. The Canadian is pretty mush hit or miss. He had great 2014 but failed to keep the level of play. Bouchard lost two in a row and Safarova won both matches in the H2H so far. On odds higher than 2.00 I go for win of the Czech.

Tip Preview:
I just do not trust the French. Mladenovic is better on doubles and on singles she is always a questionable favorite. She makes a lot of doubles faults as she search the maximum from her serve. It is true that both met this year and Mladenovic won on the clay in Strasbourg, which is their only meeting so far. The Russian is solid performer and she won two matches in the qualifications here. I think Mladenovic is not that consist to win in straight sets and the most valuable bet here is Kudryavtseva to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Pospisil is local player who has strong first serve and good forehand. He is also vert crafty near the net as he is excellent doubles player. In the same time he is in poor shape and holds record 7/18 w/l for this year overall. Chardy is slightly better with 17/18 w/l. Pospisil will have the pressure from the tribunes for a good performance and maybe because of that here in Toronto from 4 appearances he has just one win the first round. Chardy has a quarter finals here and R16 here. I think the French will use the bad shape of the Canadian and will steal the win.

Tip Preview:
I really like the game of the Czech. He plays some very attractive shots but in the same time he is not going constantly for them, but only when needed. Paire is very talented player with great serve and excellent backhand. This will be their first meeting. The difference in the ranking between them is over 100 spots but the Czech won two matches in the qualifications and holds record on hard courts this tear 8/5 w/l against Paire’s 6/6. Due the game style of both I think the trick shots will be quite a lot and the more wiser player should win this one. My call is win for Stepanek.

Tip Preview:
I consider Zverev as future top 10 player but in this particular moment I see him quite vulnerable, especially against crafty opponent like Lu. Zverev has excellent backhand and string first serve but it looks like he is mentally still not reliable. This will be their first meeting. Lu is player with a lot of experience and he perfectly knows his abilities and takes the maximum of them. He is 8/2 w/l in his last eight matches and he is solid from the base line. I see some problems for the German and my call is Lu to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Same bet different day. Yesterday Elias won for us a set against Carreno – Busta and I see no clear reason why not to do it today too. Fognini is enigmatic player and it is very hard to predict what he is going to do on the court. Yesterday he dropped a set but trashed D.Dzumhur in the next two. The Italian likes to play here but his record this season on clay is pretty modest 9/9 w/l. Elias is in the form of his life and on his best career ranking. He is also clay court specialist but his first serve is significantly better. I see tighter match than the odds given and my call is Elias to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Ramos just won his maiden title on ATP level last week and he is playing with boosted morale. He is lefty with good serve and he can control the rallies with his forehand. Mathieu may be a veteran but he is still competitive for his age. The thing here is that Mathieu is leading with 3-0 in the H2H and the most recent meeting was in Marrakech this year and the French won comfortable with 7-5;6-3. I even think that Mathieu will steal the win but as usual stay with the Asian handicap.

Tip Preview:
Fognini can win this match very easily with something like 6-2;6-3 but the problem is that he is very inconsist this year even for him. The Italian is very crafty clay court player with a lot of variation in his game. In the H2H Fognini is leading with 1-0 and the match was here in 2015. Now the Bosnian is in better shape than last year and he is very motivated to reach the semifinals here. Fognini may or may not win but even if he did I doubted that it will be in straight sets. My call is Dzumhur to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Carreno-Busta is talented player who is very aggressive with great serve and he likes to play on the clay most. Elias is definitely playing the best tennis of his life and moreover he is on his top ranking 72. His forehand is lethal and his serve is ok. This will be first meeting between them. In the moment Carreno-Busta is No56 in the world and I think the difference between them is not bigger as the odds are. I stick to the safer bet and back Elias to win a set.
