OK guys last week was a great start to the grass season, here is to making a ton of money in the leadups to Wimbledon.
To get us started early here are the first 4 matches
Hantuchova over Vinci - 190 now I took at -215, 1075/500
Hantuchova is a good fast court player and one of the most reliable servers in the WTA something few people understand, she will have alot of cheap points early on. For her career she 23-14 on grass and 7-3 in her last 10 on grass, she lost in the 1st round of Roland Garros which is to be expected against Razzano, she didn't play last week so form is unclear, I expect that she is still two classes above Vinci who goes pretty fair on grass as her serve is a good weapon as well, she played last week and won two matches vs Bremond and Osterloh neither of which is much to speak of on this surface. H2H Vinci leads 1-0 from a Carpet match in 2007, pretty much irrelevent. Take Hantuchova to advance here medium stakes, (my strongest bets will be for 1000 FYI)
Tamarine Tanasugarn -250 over Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 1250/500
Similar situation to Vinci- Sytrycova (15-8 on grass) has a good serve and has decent record on grass (7-3 in last 10) and played last week but difference is 2-8 for last 10 and Tamarine is only 3-7 in last 10. Tamarine goes much better on grass ( 42-19 and 8-2 last 10) and faster surfaces as she has a big serve and hits heavy grounders, she doesn't play alot of matches but seems to really shine in faster situations. Last week Strycova beat a clay courter and was handled by Czink, where Tamarine beat big serving Julie Coin and lost a tough match to up and commer in Cavaday.
Tamarine for medium stakes to win 500 for me..
The two early mens matches are worth passing, I lean towards dogs with recent form and history in
Petzschner +130 vs Chardy who he beat Chardy early this year is 2-0 vs Chardy and Chardy lost in 1st round last week where Petzschner and his good serve beat Verdasco before losing to Oliver Rochus who made final. I usually support Chardy and his big serve and expect he will win tomorrow despite everything going towards Petzschner. That is why this is a no Play, odds not overly strong either way 50/50 match- my advice is to stay away
Koellerer will most likely beat Hernandez but at -108- personal opinion but I will pass. Two clay guys go at it not worth my money
