It's my own fault, should have payed more attention to recent Head-to-Heads which suggested a comfortable Murray win. Given Ferrero's form, it just seemed too tempting to say it's going to be close - but that's what I thought the last time they met... and the time before that too.

Thanks , can't believe I've trusted this dodgy croatian once again after losing with him against Haas ...
Not a single breakpoint for Mathieu until this game , only 9 return points won and then Karlovic loses 4 points in a row from 40-15 ... never again ...
BLACKLISTED :
Ivo Karlovic

Mariya Koryttseva vs Maria Kirilenko
My pick is Maria Kirilenko to win
Odds : - 213
Where : pinnaclesports
10.65 units to win 5 units
Koryttseva's serve is useless , every time I've seen her play it was impossible to spot the difference between her first and 2nd serve . Her hardcourt record is 28-43 , most of the time spent playing challenger clay tournaments . Kirilenko's record on those courts is 124-84 , she can play on clay as well but her first serve is good weapon on fast courts . I see they've played 2 years on indoor hard and Kirilenko won 6-0 6-2 , had 13 breakpoints on a fast indoor court compared to just 2 breakpoints for her opponent .
In general I think it's really Kirilenko's match to lose , Koryttseva has no business beating anybody worth anything on hardcourts .

Steve Darcis vs Nicolas Almagro
My pick is Nicolas Almagro to win
Odds : 1.363
Where : sportingbet
10 units to win 3.63 units
Early one for tomorrow , to me 1.25/-400 would be very fair odds here considered Darcis's horrible form and general game on hardcourts . Darcis's all time record on hardcourts is 13-22 and 2-8 in his last 10 , one of those wins was 0-5 player's retirement in the first set .
Almagro is 26-32 on hardcourts and 4-6 in his last 10 . Last year he almost made it to 4th round at US Open , blowing 2-0 sets lead to Gilles Muller .
Neither player is in great on hardcourts but nothing really speaks for Darcis here : very bad form , bad record on those courts , Almagro has very big first serve to gain more cheap points , both are clay court players with the difference that Almagro spends his time playing ATP Level tournaments while Darcis didn't have any success there in forever and had to drop to challengers .

Victor Crivoi vs Paul Capdeville
My pick is Paul Capdeville to win
Odds : 1.32
Where : expekt
10 units to win 3.2 units
Capdeville is 92-57 lifetime on hardcourts vs 0-7 of Crivoi !!! You could say Crivoi had tough draws and thats why he is 0-7 but it's not the case : last week he has lost 2:6 1:6 to 555th ranked player ! Also his previous losses have been against mediocre players .
Paul is not is not the greatest but he is capable player on hardcourts unlike Crivoi who has one of the weakest serves on the tour togethers with likes of Volandri and Rochus .
I remember watching Capdeville's match against Federer here at the US Open 2007 and he did very well considered he was playing against one of the greatest players of all time , lost two sets with 4-6 score , no shame .
Also Capdeville has won a challenger tournament on hardcourt 3 weeks ago , clearly form speaks for him and overall experience on hardcourts . I don't like Crivoi's chances to win his first match on hardcourts in 8th try , especially after seeing him lose to 555th ranked player last week with 2-6 1-6 score .
