andreas_beck.jpg Andreas Beck - David Ferrer

Andreas Beck is rather challenger player, but he's still really young with his 22 years and I think he ought to stay in ATP majors for a long time, since this period, on American hardscourts. Right now he's at 122th place in rankings, but his play could impress in here as he has passed qualifications against three solid players, Thierry Ascione, Harel Levy and Benedikt Dorsch, what's more he has won with John Isner in first round, so his form and current performance must be trustable. He posses a really strong serve, so I doubt that he will have any problems holding it, so even tough he can't be a favorite against one of the best players in circuit, the +7.5 games handicap is much too high, knowink his serve abilities and current form.

David Ferrer is fourth player in whole ATP, but on hard he hasn't been convincing ever, being always only an average player, who has no weapons at all to deal with strong players. His serve is really poor and he's claycourt master with amazing defensive work, but against Beck it can work only with his serve as Andreas bombs will be too much for Spaniard. Of course there's no doubt that Ferrer will win this game by his huge work, but it shouldn't be a three setter, so in such case, this is a good offer.

4 units* Andreas Beck +7.5 games @ 1.82 at Pinnacle

 

Sam Querrey - Nicolas Devilder

I have played on Sam Querrey in first round against Tomas Berdych, which was really risky and strange, but American player was all over an out of form Czech and won the game in three, easy sets, so I have no clue, why it should be different today, when he faces two classes worse player. Querrey has been playing superb tennis with strong serve and great baseline play, so with such huge motivation in here, he should be considered as a big favorite, against mediocre claycourter like Devilder. He has lost only six games with Berdych, so 3-0 is most probable scenario in here, even tough the public will jump on Sam today and I don't like public bets at all.

Nicolas Devilder is nothing more than mediocre player, outside Top50, who has no results and weapons on hard, with 4-4 on this surface this year, so he shouldn't have any chances to steal even one set. He had luck in a draw, having poor Pablo Andujar in first round, but now against in-form Querrey, Frenchman can't have any hopes, especially that Devilder has no serve and no killing hits. Correct score 3-0 with @ 2.20 at BlueSquare must be the bet of the day!
