13-8 for Roland Garros
Goerges -150 over Vandeweghe- 5am EST- Goerges gets the node here with this being clay. It looked as though the courts are playing a little faster that will play into Coco's big serve but she is error prone and not a good mover. This should be Goerges advantage and should see her through to the next round.
Mayer -180 over Vesley- 5EST- first look appears to be 50/50 match but Mayer is playing extremely well of late and has good runs at RG in the past. Veseley has cooled off since Casablana and Mayer should over come him here . H2H they split the past 2 yrs 1-1.
KAVCIC ev over Lu- here you have a classic clay challenger level player playing a ATP level player with horrible 6-23 clay court and 1-9 in last 10 experience. Kavcic has no huge scalps on clay but should play well here as he has the better record at RG. Given the odd matchup this is a small play.
Soler Espinosa -140 over Parmentier- 7am- tough match as Pauline is on down swing of career but had a nice win last week, Soler is not in great form but a good clay court player, especially at RG, Pauline (French) will have the crowd on her side. Looking for Soler in a tight one.
Almagro -175 over Dolgopolov- Almagro is the better clay court player , he will be looking to improve on 1st round loss last yr. He has been in better form this yr.
Duckworth -175 over Arnaboldi- Arnaboldi has come through qualies for 2nd straight yr here but like last yr he should be bounced in the first round. Better overall player here is Duckworth despite not his favorite surface.
Schiavone -215 over Wang- Schiavone is a small play because of slide this year but Wang is pretty limited on clay 3-6 and expect that Schiavone who has played some of her best tennis to come through in straights here.
Kovinic -190 over Koukalova- One of my favorite bets of the day ( rarely love wta players as favorites like this) but with H2H on clay this yr in Slovenia going to Kovinic and with the strong results she has on clay not to mention height- he solid serve will go well on fast moving Red Clay.
Bouchard -200 - Bouchard taking an in form Frenchwomen, even though form off from last year she has shown the game for this surface with semi-final run last yr.
McHale -200 over Lino- McHale having a better yr , especially on clay. given the form backing her here.
Petkovic -320 over Rogers and Isner -280 over Seppi are a solid Parlay pair given the price and confidence.
Schmiedlova -250 and -1.5 sets over Uytvanck- she will go down in straights to better clay court player. Both have good serves but Schmiedlova has the much better return game , especially on clay.
Last play Burgos +110 over Busta- Sparty444 turned me on to this match with his post the other day. After some research I see that Burgos is in the better form though Busta is in the midst of a banner yr for him. Taking the dog with confidence later in the day.
Best of luck to all. Wish there were more doges today but will go with what we got and maybe some livewagering.
