And sometimes they're just there to practice their volleys, it's real hard to tell what's going on in their heads for that individual match.
spot on , thx . Thats why I wont waste my money with these bets anymore .
Nothing really stands out tomorrow in the first rounds . I guess Murray over Tursunov , Montanes over Phish , Tsonga over Mahut should all win their matches as heavy favs but this is 1st round so nobody knows who is there to play tennis .
Kiefer might be worth a bet as + 220 dog vs PH Mathieu who played horrible ( tanked ) against Ivo Karlovic in Rome . Kiefer is gonna get some support from the crowd in Germany , he didnt look too bad in his match against Ferrero in Rome .
Kohlschreiber + 170 dog against Robredo looks decent too , if Kohlschreiber is over the infection he had he could give Robredo lots of trouble . One also has to consider that Robredo played 14 matches in the last 26 days ( 4 different tournaments with many tough 3 setters ) so his shape is in real question in his match against the local hero .
