ANY PLAYS POSTED DAILY BEFORE 2300 AEST (1300 GMT)
Sep 3 Simon to bt Kohlsch. 4 at 1.90 1.80 ?
I was quite impressed with Simon's lead-up. He lost to the likes of Nalbandian, Youzhny and Fish, but all were competitive and the form of all has held up. Kohlschreiber wasn't all that impressive against Kamke by all accounts so he will need to lift for this one.
Sep 3 Robredo to bt Benneteau 2.5 at 2.29 2.20 ?
One is never quite sure what to expect from Robredo these days but I like his chances today. He breezed past Rosol in the opening round and thrashed the Frenchman earlier in the year in Dubai. Benneteau got past Stepanek in what looked like a grueling encounter but it's hard to read too much into that one as Stepanek was coming in well underdone.
Sep 2 Schwank to bt Clement 3 at 2.15 2.00 Void
Clement outlasted Baghdatis in the heat while Schwank justified his preparation in Toronto and New Haven with a surprise win over Ginepri. The Argentine isn't the worst clay type on hardcourts and will be confident today. Clement was in poor form coming into this event and I'm not convinced that he is anywhere near back to his best.
Sep 2 Polansky to bt Blake 2 at 2.75 2.50 -2
This promises to be a length affair. Polansky is a big improver and has the game to do very well in these conditions. Very hard to get a read on Blake's form but it has to be said that this has been a horror year and it won't take too much to see his confidence failing him again.
Sep 2 Dodig to bt De Bakker 1 at 4.51 4.00 -1
De Bakker had a solid hardcourt lead-up season but he has to be going around under the odds today. Dodig leads the head-to-head 1-0 (indoor '09) and despite getting through courtesy of a Gonzalez retirement, looks to be in some solid form.
Sep 2 Berankis to bt Melzer 1.5 at 3.25 3.00 -1.5
The 20 year-old Berankis is gaining quite a reputation as one to watch. He put out a local hope Sweeting in the first round quite comfortably after breezing in quallies. By his own admission, Melzer played poorly against Tursunov and this can only be harder.
Aug 30 Przysiezny to bt Montanes 1.5 at 3.26 3.00 -1.5
Montanes isn't the worst going around on hardcourts but he comes into this with no preparation. He last played at ATP level on the clay on 30/7 and has since withdrawn from Bundesliga matches. Przysiezny has average form and is on an 0-7 run but he has been competitive and has done okay at quallies here the last few years which tells me he doesn't mind the conditions.
Aug 30 Phau to bt Mello 2.5 at 2.45 2.25 -2.5
Fail to see why Mello is such a jolly here. Phau had a tight loss to Canada's Bester in the lead-up but he should be much better for the run and by all accounts the solid practise since. Mello has form at challenger level but it's a different ball game at Grand Slam level and Phau has the edge mentally.
Aug 30 Dent to bt Falla 4 at 1.98 1.90 +3
Falla has some decent form and as many readers will know, is usually one of my favourites, but just about everything looks to be in Dent's favour today. Can't see it being easy, but Dent gets the hot and fast conditions on the intimate Grandstand court where he will get plenty of support.
Aug 30 Devvarman to bt Anderson 1.5 at 3.45 3.00 -1.5
Anderson gets some hot and fast conditions to suit, but he looks to have come up very short. Can see this going to four or five and the South African isn't the most mentally stable player on the tour. Devvarman has been solid in the lead-up and will have good memories of some solid play here from quallies last year.

ANY PLAYS POSTED DAILY BEFORE 2300 AEST (1300 GMT)
Aug 24 Luczak to bt Stakhovsky 2 at 2.75 2.50 -2
Luczak posted a big win over Leo Mayer yesterday and I'm tipping him to be right in this one also. The slowish hardcourt conditions to suit very well and he comes in match-fit. Stakhovsky has only won a single match since Wimbledon so I'm not sure he deserves such a short price today.
Aug 24 Robredo to bt Dent 3.5 at 1.97 1.95 +3.39
Dent got through a second set lapse against Schwank yesterday but I feel that he may need to lift a notch or two for this one. Robredo hasn't done anything of note for a long time but if he can serve half decent, he should get some chances on the Dent ball.
Aug 24 Kukushkin to bt De Bakk. 2.5 at 2.51 2.40 -2.5
Kukushkin is flying at the moment. He brought he challenger form to ATP level with three qualifying wins and a first round win over Gruel all without dropping a set. De Bakker hasn't beat anyone of real note since Tsonga back in April, and he may not appreciate the slowish conditions.
Aug 24 Hajek to bt F Mayer 1.5 at 3.58 3.25 -1.5
Hard to tip up Hajek on hardcourts but Mayer can lose to just about anyone on any day. He had a bit of a struggle in his first hardcourt outing in Cincy. Hajek boasts a 2-0 head-to-head (clay) and comes in with a match under the prevailing conditions.
Aug 24 Lacko to bt Bellucci 2.5 at 2.44 2.25 +3.6
Going with another player who had to play their way into the second round. Bellucci has the class but he is yet to convince me that he is to be supported when going around at these prices. Lacko has been on the North American hardcourts for the last month and is well capable of matching it with the Brazillian in the these conditions.

Aug 17 Benneteau to bt Llodra 3 at 2.06 2.00 +3.18
Llodra has an awful record at this venue, never having won a match. You generally either love or hate Mason (as we saw with Petzchner yesterday) and I'm guessing Llodra is in the latter category. Betting on matches involving two Frenchman carries risk, but I'm looking for Benneteau to come out on top here.
Aug 17 Simon to bt Fish 2 at 2.50 2.40 -2
I know Fish has been in some solid form in recent times, but he will need to serve the lights out today to justify this price. I saw these two play a few years ago and it was all Simon. The Frenchman is getting back on track and has the game to upset the American.
Aug 16 Almagro to bt Wawrinka 2 at 2.64 2.50 -2
These two are 1-1 on hardcourts and recent meetings have been close. Almagro was okay last week against Marchenko and Llodra while Wawrinka went out to Nadal. Hot conditions won't bother the Spaniard and Wawrinka hasn't had that many matches recently.
Aug 16 Petzschner to bt Querrey 1.5 at 3.73 3.40 -1.5
Far from convinced about Querrey's form at the moment despite his win at the recent LA tourney. Petzschner is 1-0 on hard and has the slow paced solid game that can frustrate the American. Faster conditions might even help Petz get a few more free points on serve.
Aug 16 Becker to bt Bellucci 4 at 1.94 1.85 -4
Bellucci put in a feeble effort against Gulbis last week and I'm not sure that he can find something a week later in these fast conditions against a match-fit big server. Much has been said about Becker;s game, but he might not have to do anything but stay solid today to get over the line here.
Aug 16 Devvarman to bt Ginepri 3 at 2.18 2.00 -3
Devvarman quallied well with two good wins over Chiudinelli and Smyczek so he comes in match-fit and well acclimatised to the hot conditions. Still not convinced about Ginepri. He is past his prime and I'm not sure he even deserves to bt fave here.

Aug 12 Nalbandian to bt Soder. 3.5 at 1.90 1.85 +3.15
Nalbandian hasn't played this many matches in a two-week period for years but yesterday's easy win over Robredo should have him ready for a long struggle today if required. Conditions should suit here and Soderling wasn't all that impressive first up on hardcourt against Gulbis.
Aug 11 Polansky to bt Hanescu 2.5 at 2.38 2.20 -2.5
Polansky held his nerve very well to get past Melzer on Monday. Can see this being a long and drawn out affair but I'm not conviced by a win over Raonic that Hanescu is out of his slump.
Aug 11 Llodra to bt Almagro 2 at 2.59 2.40 +3.18
Llodra looks to be fit and well and will surely be giving this 100%. If he serves his best, he will be tough to get past today. Almagro had a big struggle last round and doesn't look to be travelling all that well.
Aug 11 Chardy to bt Verdasco 2 at 2.80 2.50 +3.6
Chardy got the better of Verdasco indoors earlier in the year so he shouldn;t hold any fear today. He beat Baghdatis in an impressive opening round. Verdasco continued his struggle against Schwank - this will be tougher.
Aug 11 Mathieu to bt Lu 3.5 at 2.08 2.00 -3.5
Average form from Lu in recent times. He had a soft opener but this will be tougher. This is the sort of match I expect Mathieu to do better in. Slower conditions should suit, and can bounce back from loss to Nieminen in final round quallies.

ANY PLAYS POSTED DAILY BEFORE 2300 AEST (1300 GMT)
Aug 3 Troicki to bt Fish 1.5 at 3.43 3.00 -1.5
Fish is coming off back to back wins and what he correctly states is the form of his career, but its a new tourney this week. An early loss and extra prep for a Masters Series event may not be the worst situation. His for at this venue is average and Troicki, off an easy win over Kim, is a former finalist here.
Aug 3 Dabul to bt Chiudinelli 4 at 1.88 1.80 -4
Chuidinelli is a capable player on this surface but he hasn't done much on hard in recent times - his last hardcourt match was a loss to the lowly King-Turner at Challenger level. Dabul quallied well, has hot conditions to suit and his hardcourt challenger form is excellent. He won't get a better chance than today.
Aug 3 Clement to bt Tipsarevic 1.5 at 3.39 2.80 -1.5
Tipsarevic made the semis last week in LA but I'm not quite convinced by the quality and form of the players he got past. Clement got the better of him at Wimbledon recently and he is a former winner ('06) at this tourney. Should be a close one.
Aug 2 Kunitsyn to bt Nishikori 2.5 at 2.47 2.30 +3.67
Nishikori looks to be slowly getting back to some of the form he showed a year or two back when he was injury free. Kunitsyn is somewhat of a non-winner but he has quallied with a win over Russell and has plenty of experience in these conditions. If he can stay solid he looks right in this.
Aug 2 L Mayer to bt Istomin 3 at 2.17 2.00 -3
Mayer is on a five match losing streak but should be better than his poor showing against Blake last week. Istomin goes okay on this surface but might need a match or two in the hot conditions to get his hardcourt campaign into gear.
Aug 2 Zemlja to bt Becker 1.5 at 3.18 2.75 +3.27
Becker wasn't all that impressive according to most reports coming out of LA last week. Zemlja beat the Donald in quallies yesterday and should be match fit. It was 76 75 75 to Becker when these two met at the Oz Open earlier in the year and Becker was 1.28 best of five. He is too short today.
Aug 2 Tursunov to bt Gabashvilli 3 at 2.02 1.85 +3.06
Tursunov hasn't managed to notch up a win at ATP-level for some time, but he was competitive at LA quallies and should be better for the run. He has a 2-0 head-to-head against Gabashvilli and the Russian has posted two poor losses in the lead-up.

Jul 21 Bolelli to bt Bellucci 2 at 3.06 2.80 -2
Bellucci has the talent but he is first up on the dirt and is actually playing his first ATP match in Germany. Bellucci quallied and beat Greul in a tight match in the opening round. Being match-fit on clay coming into this one must be a huge advantage. I'm looking for the Italian to be right in this.
Jul 21 Chardy to bt Petzschner 3.5 at 2.05 1.90 +3.67
Petzschner is coming off the Wimbledon Doubles title high and was dissapointing in Stuttgart last week. He should be better for the run, but Chardy has the class to make quick work of the German should he be anything but on top of his game today.
