Cilic - Simon
We played Cilic successfully against Tommy 'The Who' Robredo and he also looked pretty decent against A-Rod. But really, the teenager's great run has come to an end here against the GS ... meaning the Giant Slayer. Seriously, taking out Fedexpress you automatically deserve a title like that. Yes, you may say whatever you want that Roger's lacking confidence and it's not his best self anymore, but really no matter what, he's still Roger Federer It's a fair effort (gross understatement of course) to take Roger out in the first round! And believe me GS is no fluke. I mean look at Indianapolis last week!!! The guy is really really good and has many weapons. Cilic has a long way to go yet ...
GS will roll over the Croat today with much greater ease that many may expect!
Pick: Simon 5 Unit play
Blake - Kiefer
The odds are over inflated here as far as Blake is concerned. Obviously Blake struggled against a mediocre, average, middle of the road player like Tursunov. Kiefer on the other hand, disposed number 4 player in the world. Hence we have Blake at such high odds! But really Blake is a much better and accomplished player than Kiefer, in so many ways. Kiefer is flambuoyant and will hit an amazing shot that you just want to see again and again, but when it comes down to the crunch, he is a choker and a hack!
Due to Blake's recent slump in form though, I am only betting him to take the first set, which gives me the better price too.
Pick Blake to Win First Set Only 4Units
Hope you Have a great and successful betting day everyone
