Aussie's Toronto blessing

Cilic - Robredo
The Croat had a great start to 2008 making a surge thru' the ATP rankings real fast, but since then Marin hasn't set the world on fire really. Although to be fair to him too, he's ran into some pretty decent names in the early rounds of various tournaments.
However I like him to cause a minor upset today against Tommy 'The Who' Robredo.  Alot has changed since these two last met together, and I wouldn't take that match into consideration today. Cilic has a good game that is suited to this surface and if his backhand is on, he should roll over Tommy today.
Pick: CILIC 3Unit play
 
Haas - Davydenko
The only reason Davydenko is so inflated here, it's because he's been having a bit of a time off lately. Therefore,  the books are banking on his lack of match practice. But does he really need that much practice against Haas??? I don't think so! Nikolay loves the Nth American hard courts and he has had Tommy's number for quite sometime now. I believe he should breeze past the German today, no worries.  Taking him to win First Set as well as the match.
Pick: Davydenko 5Units First Set Only
        Davydenko 2 Units Head to Head Win
 
Safin still pending 4Unit play
These should translate into nice  today
Cheers everyone
AUSSIE

I am going to go with Davydenko today as well...even though I told myself I would never bet on him or any Russian ever again after Wimbledon I just can't see him losing this match

i agree 100% with both those plays. cilic will have more break chances on robredo's serve than vice versa, and i cannot understand why everyone is in love with haas. davydenko is so solid from the baseline and hes proven himself this year on hardcourts winning miami. haas hasnt proven anything this year. BOL aussie. i think we should hit these.

Nice day aussie, got to watch fed lose in person and it was shocking. I've never seen him play so badly.
