Halle:
Phillip Kohlschriber -375 (1 Unit) ~ Kohlschreiber is a streaky player, and his results on grass were rather favorable. Last year, he won one match here in Halle, the quarters in 's-Hetrogenboch, and the round of 32 at Wimbledon. His opponent is a absolute nobody that snuck up and beat Gasquet in his first round match. While that win may be seen as impressive, match stats show Gasquet served terribly and made a multitude of errors. Kohlschriber is a decent price here. Kohlschriber is coming off a pretty decent clay court season, and I would expect him to win this match in 2.
Oueens:
Nadal -290 (2 Unit) ~ The price is this cheap because many are expecting a letdown by Nadal after his big French Open victory. Also, people might believe that Del Potro is a strong play due to the 7-5 set he took Rafa to in the 1st round. However, Del Potro did not play one match on grass last year. He obvioulsy hasnt had time to prepare for long after the French, and shouldnt be on his top form. Del Potro, like Nadal, is a heavy top-spin clay courter. However, Rafa is able to adjust by taking his backhand earlier and flattening the ball out on grass. Rafas serve is getting better, and he should win this match as long as he doesnt get slow on the forehand. Rafa is a psycho, he will be ready.
Kendrick +550 (.3 Units) ~ The kid has a monster serve on this grass, and actually gave Nadal the fits last year at Wimbledon. Djokovic is playing great tennis, but his long French Open appearance may leave him a little unprepared here. If there is a whole in the Djokovic game, it is that he struggles to get easy points at the net. Kendrick will serve huge, its just a matter of him getting a break or two. Ill take the great odds.
