2* Crivoi +119 Final round of qualifying, Crivoi is the better claycourter and should be able to capitalize and make the main draw. He's been in the final round on previous occasions and advanced both times. He hasn't been performing well this season but had an impressive win over the big serving Muller to make it here. Dancevic presents a similar style of play to Muller, with a bit more flair, so I like Crivoi to adapt to his opponent quickly.

I like Raonic's game, but I have concerns about him on clay. He's a slow, big guy and slow guys struggle on this surface - it took Soderling years to work on his clay game. Karlovic and Isner are awful on clay. Raonic is a power player and as we know the ball doesnt move through the court as fast on clay.
I like him to win this match but these young guys are still pups, I like to stick with the veterans who have track records on a surface.

all true, but he's going against berrer today, who is 6-4 220 and sucks dirty balls on clay

Milos is underrated on the clay because he has little experience on it and looked terrible against Ferrer, as long as he stays underrated is fine by me because the odds reflect that. Prefer getting him at -300 as a fav and in big + money when a dog than some -700 range that I hate taking even in parlays, at least -300 is worth throwing in a parlay

2* Haider-Maurer -115 Don't let his limited ATP track record fool you, the Austrian is a talented clay courter that has yet to show consistency outside of Challenger tournaments. He's been very successful on the Challenger clay events which should serve him well here with a wealth of experience; He's far more accomplished and has the bigger scalps than Sweeting on dirt. Plus he plays the majority of his matches on European soil, a completely different atmosphere and slower surface then North American clay. Sweeting needs blazing fast clay surfaces to utilize his serve and
forehand power as his point construction is still careless at times. When a player has zero career clay victories (ATP level or Challenger) outside of their home country I like the chances of his opponent regardless of their skill set. A breakout tourney might be in the works for Haider-Maurer with a victory here.
2* Cirstea -106 (WTA) I believe this is Schnyder's last season as she hinted at it after losing in the first round at Charleston. She's been absolutely woeful this year, claiming only three WTA victories and bouncing out of every clay event in the first round. She's had some great runs here in the past but her best days are clearly behind her. Cirstea on the other hand had a breakout run in 2009 at the French and looked to be a star in the making but she's fizzled out like so many other youngsters that get a taste of WTA success. Still only 21, she claimed an ITF clay event earlier this month and looks to be on the right track to climb well inside the top 100 after a terrible 2010 campaign. She'll be pushed by the wily veteran here but in the end I think the talented youngster will prevail in an emotional match.
1* Rosol +102 Home country wildcard versus a qualifier matches usually turn out to be exciting and thrilling affairs as they represent a fantastic and rare opportunity for both players to make it into the second round of a major. Rosol has played some solid tennis in the last month and is worth a shot as the underdog as Roger-Vasselin may show the usual French jitters in front of a home crowd.
