Buenos Aires, Rotterdam, Memphis

Starace tb Moya @ 2,26

Starace leads the clay court h2h 2-0 and should not be the dog here. Moya was once a decent player but has been on a slow and steady decline for a few yrs now.

Bet lost. Bloody round robin format, I looked at livescore when I got up, saw that Starace was playing Monaco today and thought therefore that he had won! Anyway, Moya beat him 64 64.

Gicquel tb Clement @ 2,20

Hard to split these two 30-yr-olds on indoor form over the last 2 yrs and therefore Gicquel looks decent value to me at above evens.

Bet wins, 64 63 win for Gicquel, and my tennis duck is broken!



Kuznetsov tb Gabashvili @ 2,30

This one is a gamble. 2 young players with not much stats avlbl, but I can find nothing to suggest why Gabash should be the favourite here. Kuz beat an out-of-form Kim in the 1st rd here while Gabash was a set down to Malisse before the Belgian pulled out with an injury.


Bet loses. Gabash comes back from a set down to grind out the win 57 63 64. Never gave a break chance after the 1st set.
