I am little surprised to see Zverev as such favorite here. Zverev is 3/7 w/l in his last ten matches and he is ranked below Brands. Zverev is powerful player but often lack of concentration in the deciding moments. In the H2H Brands is leading with 3-1 and has won on clay against Zverev. Brands is also powerful player but overall in my opinion is better than Zverev. Last year Brands reached the quarter finals here and he reached the semifinals on the previous event in Marburg so any odd above 1.95 is reasonable.

I think here something that I call the “curse of the underdog” will apply. Querrey has beaten the total dominant in the past couple of years in a style, but now he is put on court No18 and this match will be totally different from the previous. The American is ball basher and he can be very competitive on grass, but in my opinion Mahut is more reliable on grass. Mahut is leading with 2-0 in the H2H and the last win was in 2016 on the grass in Hertogenbosch. Mahut for me will be more patient in the long rallies and will find the way to the win.

I do not like the game of Donald at all. He has the qualities as he is former No1 in Juniors but failed to fulfil his potential in men tennis. He is lefty with goof serve and forehand but lack of variation on the base line. In the H2H record the result is 1-0 for the French, Puille has significantly stronger serve and his shots are flat which is good for the grass. Both have negative record on grass but the improvement is Pouille’s game is obvious and I think he will win this one.

Going against Wawrinka is looking the right course of action. Stan has very powerful game but often he goes for his shots no matter of what. His big problem is with the footwork on grass and his record on grass is 27/22 w/l. It is true that he reached the quarter finals here two years in a row, but simply his performance on grass is away from expected. Del Potro is leading with 3-2 in the H2H, but Stan won the only match on grass. Still that match was in 2008 and since than Del Potro improved a lot on grass. The Argentinean played very well in Stuttgart where he lost on the semifinals but was beaten from Isner on ATP Queens. Still in my opinion Del Po is more competitive and reliable on the bigger stages and I think in this one the Argentinean will win two sets minimum.

Kyrgios with no doubt is the better player in the moment. He is pointed as a future No1 but I doubted that will happen. Still due his game style which is like made for grass he has already reached quarter final and R16 here from his two appearances. In the H2H the result si 1-0 for Kyrgios but the match was in 2013 on clay on Roland Garros. Stepanek has a lot of experience and he showed that he is in goo form by reaching the quarter finals in Stuttgart this year after started from the qualifications. He will mix his game and will force Kyrgios to move around the court something that the Australian does not like. I see very close match and Stepanek to win a set at least.

Berdych is more successful and experienced overall but he has just one match preparation before Wimbledon on grass and lost it in two tie breaks. In the H2H record Berdych is leading with 2-0 wins. Dodig is more focused on doubles but he played three matches on grass on singles and five on doubles. Both players have strong flat shots and powerful serve. I think here we will see tighter match than the odds and my call is the Croatian to win a set at least.

Both players are clay court specialist. I still think that Daniel has the potential to break in the first 50 but that definitely will not happen this year. The Japanese is holding record 10/17 w/l without a win on hard courts outdoors and with 0/2 w/l career record on grass. Monaco seems back on track. In spite that he is No97 in the world he won ATP Houston on clay and reached quarter finals on ATP Rome but withdrew due injury. He played two and lost two on grass on exhibition matches but still he is better experienced on grass and has reached twice the third round here. My pick is easy win for the Argentinean.

Both players are from the old school and use awfully a lot serve and volley. Both of them have at least two titles on grass and in the moment they are in modest shape. Ram is 3/7 w/l in his last ten and Lopez is 4/6 w/l. Here I see at least couple of tie breaks and the line for 38 games minimum is looking like a nice one.

Tip Preview:
Bellucci is the far better player with title on ATP level under his belt but this year is very poor for the Brazilian and he is 8/16 w/l overall. The grass is not the place where Bellucci can show his qualities. He is 5/11 w/l on grass. In the H2H Bellucci is leading with 2-1 wins. Bemelmans is modest player but he has very good serve and his second serve is slice which is goof for the grass. He uses a lot of slice in his game and will keep the ball in play long enough to force a mistake from Bellucci. Here I think the Belgian will win.

Tip Preview:
Lorenzi try to get ready for the Wimbledon but lost both of his matches without winning a set and his career record on grass became 5/21 w/l. The Italian is aggressive player but his top spin strokes does not work for him as good as on the clay. Lacko won the only previous meeting between them and he also won three matches in the qualifications here. Lacko has stronger serve and he handles well on the grass with career record 33/24 w/l and I think the Slovak will win easily this one.

Both players are in great form and improve their game significantly this year. Both like the clay most but also both can play good on faster surfaces. In the H2H record the result is 1-0 for Albot and it was for Davis cup. Elias did not prepare at all for the grass court season and he is coming directly from the Milan Challenger(on clay). Albot won his maiden win on grass in his career and made them three in a row in the qualifications here. Albot is 9/1 w/l in his last ten matches. Elias is also in great form 7/3 w/l in the last ten but I think Albot is better prepared for this one and will win relative easily.

Tip Preview:
Gulbis is very powerful player and great talent too. No matter of his strong shots he is not that competitive on grass with career record 15/20 w/l. This is first meeting between them. Sock is in better form and former champion on Wimbledon on doubles. The problem with Sock is that he will play his first on grass for the season but still I have bigger faith to the American.

Thiem is raising talent and he proved that he can be a real treat on grass too. He beat Federer in Stuttgart and won the title. On the other hand both met for the first and so far the only time on ATP Halle this year and Mayer had no problems to win 6-3;6-4. Mayer won the title in Halle and will play with boosted morale here. Mayer is former quarter finalist here and has nothing to lose as those 500 points from Halle were reviving for him. I think here Thiem has better chances to win but Mayer will not give up and my call is Mayer to win two sets.

Pair is player with great variation in the game and powerful serve. His weak side is the determination and concentration during the match. On the grass he is 1/7 w/l during the last there years and he won just one match in his last five and it was on Roland Garros against R.Albot. This will be their first meeting. Skugor is tall player with great serve and he is doubles specialist. He drew my attention with his reaching of the R16 on ATP Dubai. Here he won three matches in the qualifications and will play for the first time in round one. I see tight match and Skugor to win two sets at least.

Tip Preview:
Muller have the perfect weapons to win on grass – huge serve and very good volleys. He also plays with left hand and uses a lot of slices, which are good on grass. This will be the first meeting between them. In the same time Cuevas is near to his best ranking and already has two titles under his belt this year. He have good first serve and in the longer rallies he will have advantage to Muller in my opinion. Muller played a lot of matches lately and for sure will be affected from it. I think we will see at least one tie break and I hardly see how Muller will find a way to break the serve of Cuevas without the huge help of the Uruguayan. Because of that I back Cuevas to win a set.

Tip Preview:
Pospisil is former doubles champion on Wimbledon and his game does suit the fast grass court surface. He has huge first serve and powerful forehand with great volleys. On the other hand he has vulnerable mentality and he is in questionable form. In the H2H Johnson is leading with 2-0 and he did beat Pospisil on grass already. Johnson beat R.Gasquet on ATP Queens and looks set for another win here.

Tip Preview:
Smyczek is much better player overall, more experienced and successful than the Japanese. On the other hand the American is in poor form with just two wins in the last ten matches. Moriya also have two wins in the last ten matches but he is far more experienced on the grass than Smyczek and he did reach the first round last year after starting from the qualifications. I think the odd for the Japanese should be 2.50 tops and on the odds give I back Moriya to win.

Tip Preview:
I am far from familiar with the game of Willis. He is playing on lower level events – Futures, but he is former No322 in the world. He uses his left hand and likes the faster surface. No matter of the level of the game he does have 39/30 w/l career record on grass. Rublev is talented player with sharp base lien strokes and great footwork. Here he most likely could not benefit from hos great footwork. He has modest record of 17/17 w/l this year and lacks of experience on the grass with just four matches 2-2 w/l. The odd is great and I go for it.

Tip Preview:
Albot is not a tall player but handles well on all surfaces. He is 9/1 in his last ten matches and looks like a clear favorite here. Moreover he won the only previous meeting between them on hard courts last year with 6-2;6-2. On the other hand Albot won his first win on grass in six attempts. He beat the clay court specialist G.Clezar, but no he will have totally different task. Guez is having poor year with record 10/17 w/l but he beat F.Tiafoe in straight sets which impressed me a lot. Because of that I think Guez deserve a small bet.

Tip Preview:
I do not like the game of Arevalo at all, but as far as he perform on clay. He is on his top ranking and more important he is better on doubles, mostly because his huge first serve. He played one match on grass this season and was trashed 6-0;6-4.This will be first meeting between them and the difference in the ranking between them is just eight spots. Lestienne has no matches at all in his career and more important lost five matches in a row. In the position of an outsider Arevalo is our choice.
