Like this one a lot tonight .
Cant see any other winner here but Monfils , he lost to both players who ended up winning the tournaments : Davydenko and Tsonga in the last 2 weeks . I've watched his match against Tsonga and on that day Tsonga would have beaten anybody , his serving and super aggressive play was amazing .
Hewitt on the other hand is getting old and his movement is not what it used to be , also he seems to struggle with his backhand . I've seen him put the ball in the very bottom of the net a lot when he tries to play backhand to the right side of the court , this could be because of the issues he has with his knees when he puts the weight on it .
In general Monfils should be way too solid on his serve and with his power , Hewitt tends to throw bad games in there with a lot of 2nd serves and this will be taken advantage of by Monfils . Watched Hewitt's match against Isner today and I must say Isner is a horrible player when he isnt playing on the US fast courts , anybody in the top 200 would have beaten him . Also last week Hewitt was anything but impressive in his loss to Youzhny , week before that he has lost to Joachim Johansson in straight sets who hasn't played tennis in 5 monthes .
I believe this is a very good spot for a large bet and odds are much better than I expected to see here .
