Soderling won the carpet tournament 2 weeks ago in Lyon. After some injury troubles he started well again this week on same surface disposing good hard courter Dent easily in 2 so we can say he is up again. Saulnier on home soil though but only some 2nd or 3rd rounds in the last half year so odds are nice here (average only 1.5 around). Cashpoint has 1.65 as well.
Hewitt has H2H 1:0 on hard and a fantastic year with about 40:5 matches won. Not experienced on carpet lately and a bit tight 1st round win against Monfils. Still the clear better player than Massu who has some 2nd round wins lately but not more. Average odds only 1.2 around and this 1.3 has small value, in combination we got over 2.14 for this double and that is bigger value.
Soderling hat bereits vor 3 Wochen in Frankreich gewonnen, Belag und Land liegt ihm. Wo sind die starken Leistungen von Saulnier, bittesch?
2 Viertelfinalniederlagen, 2x Zweitrundenniederlagen, 1x Erstrundenniederlage seit den US-Open. Sieg gegen Thomann,A.Martin , knappe Siege gegen T.Johansson und Fish. Verloren gegen Beck,J.Johansson (jeweils klar in 2 S?en) und Carlsen in Runde 1
Kann man also getrost mit bestenfalls mittelm?ig umschreiben.
Sicher, Bank ist das keine, auch S?ling hatte zwischendurch schwache Hardcourt-Leistungen. Aber denke, die Quote is schon ok f?inen Turniersieger vor 3 Wochen auf selbem Belag.
No H2H. Stepanek has beaten Youzhny in 2, Spadea in 2 so he is in nice form. Same with Mirnyi who beat ARod in 2 and yesterday very tight S?ling in 3. Especiall the won over Youzhny who is in the same class as Mirnyi gives confidence that Stepanek has a chance today. Odds are way too high as this is almost 50:50 imo. So worth a bet here.
