Tip Preview:
Volandri is not a player which game I really like but he won both of his matches in straight sets and in Cortina beat C.Berlocq. Volandri does not have much of a serve but he is very solid in the longer rallies. Kicker won the only previous meeting between them with 6-2;6-1 earlier this year but in the moment the Argentinean is looking more than vulnerable. Kicker won both of his matches in three sets against modest competitors like L.Sonego and G.Quinzi. I think in this one the more experienced player will win at the end. Still I do not fully trust Volandri and I go with minimum stake.

Tip Preview:
Lopez is player who is pretty unpredictable. He has huge serve and nice volleys, but when it comes to longer rallies he is not that competitive. In the H2H Benneteau is leading with 6-2 with both losses came on grass. The French is far back in the ranking but he is more than determined to back in the first 100. Here Benneteau beat in form H.Zeballos and J.Donaldson. Lopez has never been player who is mentally strong and I think Bennetau will take advantage from the fact and will win a set minimum.

Tip Preview:
More or less Lajovic is player who proved that he is really competitive only on Challenger level. He lost against N.Basilashvili on the semifinals on ATP Kitzbuhel and I doubted that the Serbian will meet more than easier opponent on that level. Both players like the clay most but can be competitive on hard courts too. In the H2H record Almagro is leading with 1-0 and on the hard courts his much stronger serve should give him enough advantage. My call is win for Almagro.

Tip Preview:
Klein is modest player who has never been in the first 160 and he has just one title on Challenger level. He holds negative balance this year overall 8/13 w/l and on hard courts he is 4/6 w/l. Moreover his entire record on the Challenger circuit is negative 76-103 w/l. Millot is leading in the H2H with 1-0. Millot is good form and he has record 10/8 w/l on hard courts this year. Last year he won the Granby Challenger in Canada and this year he is sticking with the tour in this part of North America. Millot has two titles on the Challenger circuit and if we take in mind that the record on Challenger events of Klein is 7-14 w/l than the bet for win of the French looks logical.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round of the Portoroz Challenger. Fucsovics is decent player with strong base line strokes and good serve. He has the potential to be top 100 regular but his mental resistance in the deciding moments is questionable. In the H2H Kavcic is leading with 1-0 and no matter that the match was on clay it was more than impressive 6-0;6-1. Kavcic is getting back on track after absence due injury and there is no more convenient place to do that than in home in Slovenia. He is form No68 in the world and he won the events here back in 2014. The odd still has value and I go for it.

Note: The start time and date are yet to be determined.
This is match from the first round of the Trnava Challenger. Both players are close in the ranking and close in the age. Both have good game from the back of the courts and can defend well. They are clay court specialist but their game is good enough to be competitive on hard courts too. Both won their last two matches. Before that Samper-Montana had won just once from seven matches. Reuter won five from his last six matches. This year the performance of Samper-Montana is quite moderate on Challenger level and Reuter has reached twice to the semifinals. More important is that Reuter won all of the three previous matches and is yet to drop a set. I back Reuter to advance further.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round of the Olympic women event. The Canadian is great talent and she is very aggressive. Her first serve is quite good and he can hit winners from both wings. Bouchard got back on track and was pretty impressive with her performance in the last four matches. In the H2H Bouchard is leading with 3-1. Kerber is great competitor and she won the Australian open earlier this year. She is tough opponent but often she is not that determined in the early stages of the events and I think here she will have to dig deeper to past the Canadian. My call is Bouchard to win a set.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of the Olympics. The odd is going up but I am little surprised from that. It is true that Estrella is 1/7 w/l this season on hard courts but his overall record is 190/105 w/l. The Dominican is a fighter and he never gives up. This most likely will be the first and last appearance on the Olympic games in his career and I am absolutely sure that he will give his best. Fognini is the better player indeed but his motivation is always questionable and we have see him to give up in even important matches than this one. Moreover the record of Fognini on hard courts overall is 69/87 w/l. Neither of them has some strong weapon from which he can win a lot of easy points, so we will see a lot of long rallies and the chances of Estrella to win a set a quite good.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the semifinals of ATP Atlanta. On the court we will see two players with huge serve and excellent forehand. The big difference between them except the ranking is the better backhand of Isner. On the other hand often in the matches of Isner we can see a lot of tie breaks. Usually Isner is having great edge in them due his serve and amount if tie breaks played. His career record is impressive 305-180 but this year he is just 24-21. In this match Opelka is a player who also has strong serve and in my opinion the younger from both Americans stand better chances to win the set than the odds suggest. Because of that I back Opelka to win a set.

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.

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.
