Hi guys, 1st week of the European indoors season with players coming back from Australia and a lot of uncertainty as to their form on a completely different surface and environment. Should be extra careful in my opinion. 1 pick for me for the ATP Zagreb later today:
GARCIA-LOPEZ +3 GAMES HANDICAP TO DEFEAT DODIG @1.88 on Pinnacle

Having watched those two players a lot of times, I have no idea to why Garcial-Lopez is an underdog in this match (the odds on him winning the match are 2.75-2.8) - I think he is a better player than Dodig on all surfaces except indoors and they are at the same level indoors where Dodig's big serve is a real weapon.

I can see sense in the odds. Dodig has home support and GGL had only a scratchy win last game against Evans (a player I don't know that much about but he's down at 300 in the world or something). GGL should've dispatched him easily if he was in form. HOWEVER, the odds on Dodig to win are a bit ridiculous.

Neither of these two in great form, backed GGL to win yesterday and he made hard work of beating a lowly ranked Brit.

Dodig won this last year beating GGL in the semi's, probably that making him fav for today.

Best looking bet for me today seems to be Mikhail Youzhny to beat Grega Zemlja. Youzhny looked good in the last round and Zemlja struggled against Antonio Veic. Looks good to win, I'd even go for the straight sets punt at 1.83

yeah that's solid arsenalfan.......odds down to 1.73 though

I've got a tasty double of Gonzales to win and Youzhny to win in straight. Odds can be found at PP 2.42 NAP

2 picks for me:
ATP ZAGREB: YOUZHNY +1.5 GAMES HANDICAP TO DEFEAT KARLOVIC @1.8 on Pinnacle
ATP VINA DEL MAR: BERLOCQ TO DEFEAT DELBONIS @1.46 on Betfair

As with my yesterday's pick on Garcia-Lopez, i have no idea why Youzhny is an underdog in this match. I think he is a better player than Karlovic and he has good return of serve to neutralize Karlovic's serve. Both matches between them finished with comfortable wins for Youzhny including Doha just 4 weeks ago and no reason for Karlovic to be the favorite even on fast indoors court.

Delbonis is a young talented player with good game and an above-average serve but Berlocq is such a great clay court player - last 2 seasons he is a top 20 player on clay in my opinion.

Seems that Monaco is in great shape.

Vinci vs Halep or
Groth vs Niculescu
are both faves I would nt take here. Groth is a hard baseliner. Halep has surfaced recently and covers the court extremely well. This is a nice scenario to bet against perhaps taking set one or set two in play for the underdog.
