This is match from the R16. Trinker has excellent footwork and he is very solid from the base line. He rarely has the chance to play on Challenger event R16 and to stand a chance to advance further. He was very solid against Londero and save a match point on his opponent serve. He played four matches on this event and has good match practice. Dzumhur did win over Balleret, but he did not impress with anything. Dzumhur. The Bosnian is used to involve in long rallies and the aggressive style of pay of Trinker in combination with his strong serve may not like a lot to Dzumhur. Trinker last year won three of his Futures title on clay and will be fully motivated in this match. Still everything depends from Dzumhur, but with just one match on clay this season I must go against him. The odd is more than juicy and in my opinion here we can use the maximum stake allowed stake for such kind of bet – 2 units.

This match will be very close no matter from the represented odds. Dimitrov started very slow against Mathieu and he lost the first set. In the second he continues with the weak performance and the French serve for the match. In typical for Mathieu style he missed two match points and eventually lost the whole match. Dimitrov change his racket and he will need time to adjust his shots, especially his backhand. Muller is continuing to shine this season. He is 9/4 w/l this year and if we exclude the match against R.Berankis on ATP Zagreb Muller has lost from the eventual champions in all other occasions. He is lefty with huge first serve and he uses serve&volely often. Muller will win a lot of easy points with his sliced serve to Dimitrov’s backhand. The Bulgarian is leading with 2-0 in the H2H, but on the only previous match on indoors courts Dimitrov won with 2-1 sets. I expect a tough battle and Muller to win a set at least.

This is match from the first round. Balleret has never been something special. He is No 376 in the world and his best ranking was 204. He is strictly clay court specialist with just one final on clay Challenger event and record 38/59 w/l on Challenger events, held on clay. Dzumhur is a real threat for all competitors on Challenger events on clay. He won his maiden Challenger title last year in Mersin and after that clinched 2 other Challenger events title(in Arad and San Benedetto). Dzumhur is 46/31 w/l on clay on Challenger events and 23 of those wins were in 2014. His career is in rise. The reasons for the high odd here(I think it should not be higher that 1.35) are few. Balleret is 16/2 w/l on clay in 2015, but almost all wins were on Futures and he is 17/0 w/l on doubles(16 wins on Futures event). He has good match practice with two wins in the qualifications here. Dzumhur will play his first match this year on clay and everybody expect problems for him. Why I will back Dzumhur? First of all I must say that his is 2.5 units bet at least, but I will stick with 1.5. I back Dzumhur, because he plays most of the times on clay. He will need some matches on clay, because he is going to play in ATP500 Rio qualifications next week and he will need some match practice on clay. Balleret no matter if his good record won all of his matches in the position of a favorite.

This is match from the first round. I do like the game of Vesely. He is tricky lefty with good serve and his backhand is a real weapon. He is very crafty on clay and after he won his first ATP title in Auckland he will be under little pressure here. As far as I recall this will be the first trip of Vesely in South America and moreover the conditions here are very specific, after all clay and indoors are not common combination. Cuevas is one of the most reliable players in my opinion. He is very experienced with great success on doubles. He won two ATP title last year. His serve is good and he can control the rallies with his excellent forehand. He isn’t impressive from the beginning of the year, but he is always motivated and determined on those ATP250 clay court events. I think here Cuevas has enough edge over his opponent and I back him to win.

This is match from the first round of ATP Sao Paulo. Lorenzi is a veteran who is clay court specialist. The Italian has good serve and he can be consist form the base line, but can hit winner too. He is tricky opponent and mixes his game with dropped shots and attack to the net. On the other hand he is not that competitive as he used to be and here the pressure will be all over him. Lorenzi reached the final here and the mission to defend his points looks impossible, mostly because even if he won here he will face F.Fognini in the second round and this will be nearly the beginning. Schwartzman in my opinion involved his game a lot in 2014. He won the ATP Challenger finals and four Challenger titles on clay. His game is from the back of the court and he mixes it up with dropped shots. They have one previous meeting in 2013 and Lorenzi won in three sets, but in 2013. Now I think Schwartzman is in better position here and he will win.

This is match from the qualifications of ATP Sao Paulo. Cecchinato is 23 years old and he ahs some good result on clay on Challenger events, but still he is not every experienced with record 44/41 w/l on Challenger events and 1-2 w/l on finals. He is typical pusher from the base line with no real weapons. Ghem on the other hand is player, who has very solid serve. He is good near the net and very experienced with his 32 years. Moreover he is Brazilian and he is playing at home with will give him additional advantage. In my opinion the better match practice of Ghem with six matches on clay already against just one of Cecchinato will be crucial. Moreover Cecchinato struggled a lot against modest C.Zampieri and in my opinion here Ghem should be fair favorite and will win this one.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the semifinals. Both players are seeded as 1st and 3rd in this event, so this semifinal was expected. Lopez is player who is famous with his extraordinary game on grass. He has huge serve and often visits the net, most of the time successful. This is not the usual type of playing on clay courts and I think today it will be pretty obviously why is that. Lopez was in big troubles against Lajovic. He was a set down and was 0-40 in the third game of the second set(1-1 games), but still survived. I doubted that Lopez will have that luck today. Verdasco is player who has very strong serve too and his second serve is kick. If we take in mind that Lopez is not step in to receive the second serve he will not be able to put pressure on the second serve of Verdasco. Verdasco likes to play on the base line and to dictates the tempo with his forehand. In the head to head record the result is 4-3 for Verdasco and in the only meeting on clay Verdasco won easily with 6-2;6-3. I think here this bet deserve three units, because I take in mind that Lopez is not the greatest player on return and stay relative passive in the long rallies. Moreover the footwork of Verdasco is excellent. Verdasco did not allow a single break point against P.Lorenzi and saved all eight break ball opportunities against G.Melzer. Verdasco is without a loss of a set and I think he will win with three games difference at least.

Tip Preview:
This is clash from FED cup. The match will be indoors clay court, which is quite extraordinary. Errani is one of the best, when it comes to clay and she is former finalist from Roland Garros. She is solid from the base line and can defend superbly. Moreover she is excellent near the net. If we take in mind the home advantage it is looking little strange to go against her. On the other hand Garcia is one of the greatest talents and she is the world No30. Garcia is best on clay and she won both of her matches on FED cup so far. So far this year Errani is 2/3 w/l and Garcia is 2/2 w/l. In the head to head record the result is 2-0 for Garcia and if the win on grass on Wimbledon can be accepted as normal the win on the clay of Madrid WTA speaks enough for the quality of Garcia. I think this match will be close and the chances of both are 50/50 and by this scenario I go for the higher odd.

Tip Preview:
This is clash from the FED cup. The burden here over Agnieskzka will be enormous. The Polish need to win here, otherwise I doubted that Urszula will stop Sharapova and than Poland will be trailing with 0-2 and the chances for win will be minimal. Radwanska is looking in better position for this match because she is with record 7/3 w/l and she won Hopman cup with J.Janowicz. In the same time Kuznetsova lost all of her three matches so far this year, but let look at the losses. She lost to Hradecká, which later on the Australian open beat A.Ivanovic. She lost to the talented youngster C.Garcia and to the semifinalist of the Australian open M.Keys. Kuznetsova is very experienced player and she can play on all surfaces. In all of the previous 14 matches Kuznetsova has won a set at least in 12 of them. The Russian is leading with 10-4 and only in 2008 she lost two matches in straight sets from Radwanska. Moreover Kuznetsova is 18/8 w/l on FED cup matches and only twice in those eight losses she did not won a set. I think the Russian can steal a set.

Tip Preview:
This will be very interesting quarterfinal for both betting and entertainment. Youzhny on first look is looking in form after the slow start of the year. He did beat B.Kavcic and S.Stakhovsky, but he was in enormous problems against Kavcic. Baghdatis survived against the modest T.Androic, but after what he did against I.Karlovic, by saving match point on the serve of the Croatian in the third set tie break I decided to back Baghdatis. Both players have strong serve and they will stay on the base line. In the head to head record the balance is 4-4(2-2 on indoors). The Cypriot is playing more solid tennis from the beginning of the year with record 10/2 w/l and Youzhny is just 2/4 w/l(his first wins were here). Moreover Baghdatis won the last two meetings (both on exhibition events). I think here Baghdatis will prevail.

Tip Preview:
This is one of the matches, which I do not hesitate to take with high stake. The reasons are so many that I can wrote two pages. Garcia-Lopez looks in form with quarter final in Chennai and R16 on the Australian open, but his opponents were rather modest. He does not have any real weapons and waits to be reactive, not to build up the point. Moreover Garcia-Lopez is poor on indoors courts with record 43-63 w/l. In the same time Troicki is 11/1 w/l and a title. He is solid on indoors courts with record 87/57 w/l. The Serbian has huge serve and powerful base lien strokes. Something more he can play excellent in defence too. Trocki won a title on indoors courts(In Moscow 2010 and reached the final in 2011). I think here this bet deserve the risk of 2.5 units, not just because Troicki proved that he is in form and the win of Garcia-Lopez over D.Dzumhur could not tell us anything, but because Troicki has won all of the previous five matches. Moreover in four of those five matches the -2.5 games line has been covered and I doubted that on the surface where the Spaniard is weakest Troicki will not continue his winning spree.

Tip Preview:
I could no resist to the odd. I tried, but I can’t. Feliciano Lopez is seeded as No1, but also the Spaniard is in questionable form. He has his huge first serve, he can stay in the rallies with his nice slice forehand and he will attack the net as soon as he can. In the same time Lopez has 0 matches on clay this season on singles. He did take part on the doubles here and won his match, but it was rather fast and I doubted that Lopez is used with the conditions. I am little surprised to see Feli here. He decided to play on clay and if we look in hi stats last season we will not be impressed – for 2014 5-7, for 2013 6-5 and 2012 8-9. Gonzalez may not be looking as solid player in the moment, but the Columbian is highly motivated to win here. He won his first match here and has adjusted to the conditions better Lopez. Moreover he beat F.Bagnis who is lefty too. Gonzalez has excellent backhand and good serve. Gonzalez has nothing to lose here and he has won the only previous match against Feli(the Spaniard retired after Gonzalez led 6-3;2-0) in Houston, on clay again. In my eyes in the worst scenario the odd here should not be higher than 2.40 and on odd higher or even of 2.60 we should seek the value and back Gonzalez.

Tip Preview:
This is match between two totally unreliable players. Lorenzi is the higher ranked player. He is very aggressive player, but also has good serve and can use slice shots very well. Falla is the lower ranked player, but he looks in better form in the moment. It is true that he lost from J.Samper – Montana on Bucaramanga Challenger and lost some points, but that will motivate him a lot in this match. Lorenzi is holding negative record this year and he is playing very shaky on clay so far. He is 2/1 w/l, but lots a set in all of the matches so far and the wins were against modest players like A.Menendez – Maceiras and G.Lama. If we take in mind that Falal won the only previous meeting the bet Falla to win a set looks a must one with great value.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the R16. the win here will be important for both players, because the points and the money are significant. Nieminen somehow is holding on high in the ranking for his abilities in the moment(No66). He does not have any strong weapons, but his left hand and consistence. So far this year he lost to S.Wawrinka, P.Andujar and J.Duckworth. The last two losses came quite surprisingly. Darcis on the other hand started strong this year winning the title in Noumea Challenger and he is holding recird 11/1 w/l. Last year he finished strong on indoors courts and won the title on Rennes Challenegr, reached the final on Mons Challenger(l. to in form D.Goffin) and reached the quarter finals on Geneva Challenger. In the head to head record Nieminen is leading with 1-0, but the match was on clay in 2008. In the moment I think that Darcis is more reliable, because I did not see any will for victory in Nieminen’s body language in the few matches that I saw this year. Darcis has all the shots and if he keeps his serve percentage in good level he should win this one.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the second round. Kamke is very unpredictable player. He has sharp strokes from both forehand and backhand. His serve is not bad and he handles well near the net. Often he does not hold on in the long rallies and risk too much, which leads to unforced errors and the German is not famous with his mentality. Kamke is 3-3 w/l this year, but his wins were over modest player like Mott and Marcora and still dropped a set in two of those three wins. In the last match Millot he allowed 10 break pints and saved only four of them. His opponent Sousa is not in good form, but for sure is not in bad. He reached third round on the Australian open and lost versus A.Murray in straight sets. In the head to head record Sousa is leading with 2-0 wins. Sousa has excellent serve and he is very solid from his forehand. The Portuguese has won one title and it was on indoors courts. Other than that he reached finals twice and in one of the occasions was on indoors too. I think this bet has great value and will drop dramatically tomorrow. I suggest on odds higher >=1.8 this bet deserve 2.5 units and on odds below 1.80 no more than 2 units is recommended.

Tip Preview:
I could not trust to Estrella. The Dominican was not very persuasive in Bucaramanga and he was trashed by Gimeno-Traver on the quarter finals. He lost a set to 0 and if Gimeno – Traver was concentrated enough he would lost the second to 0 too. His consistence and determination were below his average and he made a lot of unforced errors. Ghem is a player which is not reliable in my opinion, but here he is running hot with three wins in the qualifications and his serve is strong enough to win for him easy points. Nevertheless he won the only previous meeting against Estrella and he did it in straight sets on clay 6-2;6-1. I think here a bet on Ghem to win a set is the right choice.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of the ATP Quito. Lajovic in my opinion is totally overrated in this clash. It is true that he is the higher ranked player, but he lost both of his matches so far this year and he is still without a rhythm. Moreover he is in the position of a favorite and the pressure will be all over him. He has good serve and he is solid from the base line, but nothing special. Vanni is on his top ranking and he player seven matches this year (4/3 w/l). He is all around court player and had tremendous 2014(finished with record 39/6 w/l on clay). In the head to head record the result is 1-1 and in both matches Vanni won a set at least. I think on this odd it deserve the risk.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round of the ATP Quito. Gimeno-Trave just won the Bucaramanga Challenger and his motivation for this match may be doubtful. First of all he was not impressive against G.Elias on the final and only the hesitations of F.Bagnis on the semifinals(Bagnis was leading 0-3 and 0-40 in the first set and lost it, than in the third set was leading with 3-2 and had the serve) were the main reason Gimeno-Traver to reach the final. Moreover the Spaniard has not played here in Quito, where the conditions are very specific, with high elevation. Gimeno- Traver had just one day to travel and I doubted that it will be enough. Fucsovics has golden opportunity. He was granted with wild card and he is on a free roll here. He is all around court player with strong serve and good base line strokes. Thi is first meeting between them and the odd is already going down. In my opinion a small bet here worth the punt.

Tip Preview:
This is match from the first round and I am little surprised from the represented odds. Neither of them showed something special or something tremendously bad so far. De Schepepr reached the R16 in Auckland, but his best wins were over the Columbians – Falla and Giraldo. Eventually Falla as lucky loser beat easily De Schepper in the main draw. Ilhan won two rough matches against J.Kovalik and J.Mertl, which does not speak good for him, but I think he slowly but surely is getting in form. De Schepper has huge first serve and very powerful forehand. Absolutely the same goes for Ilhan. The difference between them is that De Schepper will attack the net more often and Ilhan will dominate the rallies from the back of the court. Like I sad it is situation in which neither of the players has such significant advantage to be put in the position of a favorite around 1.65 . By that scenario I always back the outsider.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The start time is still to be determined.

Tip Preview:
This is the final match and I have no hesitation in it. Yesterday both players were rather shaky in their performance, but managed to prevail. Gimeno-Traver wait patiently for the serve of Bagnis to stop working that good and edge the Argentinean in the decider. Gimeno-Traver definitely was the player with better variation and clear though during the whole match. His forehand is excellent weapon and he is very consistence in the long rallies. Elias had played most matches on clay, but he determined the hard courts as his favorite surface. Elias is in form and dropped just one set so far(vs G.Melzer on the quarter final). This will be their first meeting. Elias has never been in the first 100. Moreover he is 2-7 w/l on finals of Challenger events, which for sure will be a burden. There was big relief of Gimeno-Traver after he reached the final yesterday. He is dominating, when reached final on Challenger event and he is holding record 13-8 w/l. He is former No48 in the world and has bigger experience. More or less Gimeno-Traver has few hours more to rest. I think the Spaniard will clinch the title.
