French Open - Roland Garros, 26th of May
May 26, 2008
Marin Cilic (CRO) - Robin Haase (NED)
Scheduled: 4th match on court 14… (Unibet closing time 12:30)
Robin stated that he will undergo knee surgery after RG due to injury. But he claims that he is fit to play in Paris.
Fit to play the one of the hardest tournament in the ATP tour? Come on…
Cilic isn’t that bad to loose from injured player. And they played once this year, in Chennai (IND)
and Cilic won (4-6 6-2 6-3)… It was hard surface, but anyway i will back young Croatian here.
Pick: Cilic @ 1.90 (Unibet)
——————————————————————————————————————–
Daniel Brands (GER) - Dmitry Tursunov (RUS)
Scheduled: 3rd match in court 17… (Unibet closure time 12:30)
Brands is young player who could make suprise and beat inconsistent Tursunov.
I will run through qualifications where Brands swept opponents without losing a single set.
1 round:
Alex Bogomolov Jr. (USA)..6 0
Daniel Brands (GER)……7 6
2 round:
Nicolas Massu (CHI)………2 3
Daniel Brands (GER)……6 6
3 round:
Daniel Brands (GER)……6 6
Pablo Andujar (ESP)………3 2
So i’m expecting that Brands will use this confidence boost from qualifications and cause a lot
of trouble to Russian. Clay is not perfect surface for Tursunov, he lost 36 of 65 matches on clay in career.
Tursunov lost 7 of his last 8 ATP matches (ARAG cup victory vs. Kiefer not counted) and for me it’s a sign
of very bad shape for him. His greatest result in RG so far is 1st round, anyway i don’t expect any progress
on this year’s French open…
Pick: Daniel Brands @ 2.70 (Unibet)
