Halle and Queens Friday

Bad bad bad couple of days. Querrey blew a set lead today against Hewitt in Queens and Gulbis lost a close one to Tommy Haas in Halle. I thought when Querrey won the first set 7-5 he would go on to close it out for sure but he took the foot off the gas and Hewitt pulled through.

I am going to give two more recommendations for tomorrow. Take them at face value - I can't claim to be having a good week of it, but we made a good profit at the French Open and you don't lose all your knowledge overnight so a few bad results won't put us off! By the time Wimbledon comes around we will have a fair idea of who is playing well on the grass or not. Anyway, here are my bets for tomorrow:

Hewitt v Del Potro: I cannot see how Lleyton Hewitt will beat Juan Martin Del Potro tomorrow. Beating Sam Querrey is one thing, but there is too much of a gulf in class between these two tomorrow. Del Po beat Xavier Malisse in his first match, who is a serious grass-courter, and followed that up by hammering Dan Evans today 0 & 3. Evans is a grass-courter in his own right and beat Guido Pella and Jarrko Nieminen already this week. Del Po certainly looks to be finding his rythm now and he will end the Hewitt run tomorrow. Hewitt has certainly been rolling back the years with some vintage grass-court play, but let's not overlook the fact that Del Potro beat Djokovic last summer at SW19 to win the Bronze medal for his country at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is available @ 1.54 on Betfair and I think that is the bet of the day tomorrow. He has too much in every department for Lleyton Hewitt.

Haas v Monfils: much like yesterday, I am going to oppose Haas again mainly because there is a lot of value to be had on Monfils. These two have met 3 times with Monfils winning two of them. Monfils hammered Milos Raonic in the last round, 4 & 2, which is a serious achievement on a surface as fast as grass. Haas is undoubtedly in great form but so is La Monf. He had a great run at the French as we all know, and judging by his match against Raonic, he has transferred that form to grass. He seems to match up well against the veteran German having won 2 out of 3 against him, and he is available @ 3.05 which seems very generous. Take Monfils to progress

Hopefully things will go a bit better Friday than Wednesday and Thursday went! Until tomorrow, over and out :)
