I will try my luck today and go with the local hero in a toss up match , Gonzo is a hothead and Hewitt can make him really mad with his defending skills causing lots of unforced errors by Fernando .

Bookies overrating Vesnina's performance reaching the finals 2 weeks ago IMO . Coin is a solid player and sure not so much worse than Vesnina who had best result in ages .

Hopefully later stages will be better for me , also cant wait for doubles competitions to start .
Last bet for tonight , like this one a lot .

Samantha Stosur vs Klara Zakopalova
My pick is Samantha Stosur to win
Odds : 1.31
Where : betfair
10 units to win 3.1 units
Zakapalova lost last week 3-6 0-6 to Hantuchova and when you lose like that to a player who is out of form for almost a year this spells trouble .
2007 they already met here and Stosur won without much trouble 6-3 6-1 . Zakopalova clearly a clay courts player in my mind with a 56-56 record on hardcourts . Stosur has a unique game style being a good doubles player she isn''t shy going to the net to end the points quicker which can be very useful against a player like Zakopalova .

Soderling is TOP 3 headcase of the ATP , if it's windy he may give up mentally .
Not sure about Bolelli being able to return a lot of Fish's bombs .
Mathieu should win but at 1.23 I am not betting a cent on him .
Chardy plus handicap maybe but outright no chance .
Koschreiber should win but this damn old dog has cost me money already with Ferrero not trying against him in the previous round .
Tons of doubles matches today so I am working on those atm . Will try to spot some underdogs I can take with handicap in WTA .

Odds : - 215
Where : 5dimes

Benneteau and Serra aren't very solid doubles players in my mind unlike other french men like Clement , Llodra or Santoro . Never played together before and both are out of the singles draw already .
Soares and Ullyett have 7-2 record playing together , last week lost 7-5 5-7 10-7 to Bhupathi and Knowles , no shame at all to losing to a TOP 4 team in the world in a close battle .

Where : betandwin
4 units to win 2 units
Have bet on Parrott and Polasek several times last season , solid regular team .
Andreev never played together with Stakhovsky before , neither are really known as doubles specialists to me . Andreev played very bad in his singles match yesterday , still managed to come back from 0-2 in sets and win against an unexperienced opponent . Stakhovsky lost to Clement in a close match . Andreev doesn't have the touch at the net to play in doubles , fair odds .

2 big australians with no game , all serve , weak at the net against a solid regular doubles team . Bookies afraid Ball/Guccione win this 7-6 7-6 but I will have to back the better doubles players .
