This is it for now. Let's see how it starts off and then I'll decide whether to add more on the men's and maybe some on the women's side.
Monday
ATP
10* Roko Karanusic (-210) Over Luis Horna - 7:00 AM 10* Simone Bolelli (-140) Over Alex Bogdanovic - 8:30 AM 10* Igor Kunitsyn (-200) Over Thomaz Bellucci - 8:30 AM 10* Phillip Kohlschreiber (-125) Over Fernando Verdasco - 10:00 AM 10* Alejandro Falla (-175) Over Victor Hanescu - 10:00 AM 10* Hyung-Taik Lee (-146) Over Phillip Petzschner - 11:30 AM
i love falla at that price....be careful w lee, i kind of think petzchner could pull the upset there...still looking at the lines
Petzschner has an amazing backhand and I was hoping he would get a better 1st round matchup here. He struggled a bit against weaker players in qualifying which is worrying. Petzschner is definitely talented but there is a reason he hasn't done much on the ATP tour and has basically only played in the Challenger circuit. Lee is a fighter and will stay in this one the whole way. He's not typically a grass player but he's certainly a good enough player to win a few matches. Tough matchup I agree but a good enough price on Lee here. Good Luck!!!!
Word is Monfils has some injury problems. Whether or not that's true is another thing. Monfils has a history of faking injuries and making himself look like he's hurting. Supposedly he's having issues with his shoulder which might hamper him here. Guccione is not anything special. All serve and that's it. If Guccione can take the 1st set there could be a retirement and the bet would still stand.

Tough day on Monday on the men's side. Lee was hurting and it showed, Kunitsyn I'm not sure what the hell happened although I do know he was up a break in the 2nd and 3rd sets and blew it plus he was up a mini break in the 1st tb. Kohly and Falla were just huge disasters. Hopefully a better day on Tuesday. Going with a few for now and probably will add more throughout as long as things are good. Good Luck!!!!:thumbs:
