Joao Souza and Facundo Bagnis have played 8 times against each other, of those 8 times, they played the match has gone over this line of games on 7 occasions.This Quito clay is the fastest claycourt surface on tour, the bounce of the ball is quite high and because of the humidity, the ball just goes through the air with ferocious speed.I don't think that Facundo can win this one easy,Joao yesterday easily served through all of his service games with 90% efficiency after the first serve and both Facundo and Joao are big serves and not so dependable on the return.There for I think that they will go once again over this line. Also great bet Joao +4 games.

Ramos Vinolas is also one of the top claycourt players on the world, they are missing the best that the world has ever seen in Rafael Nadal for now but even without him they will not need too much assistance.Ramos is far more dependable on claycourt than on any other surface, it's not rocket power as it is with a lot of players today but with the angles he creates and the ball striking ability that he posses it's quite hard to imagine that Broady will get close to a set in this one.They are two very similar players in a lot of regards but the fact is that Ramos Vinolas is better of the two, has had more time to prepare, and will play on his favorite surface in front of his crowd.

The Spaniard will get a far easier draw without Kyle Edmund for the British team who is quite a capable claycourt player and with no Andy Murray in the picture it's clear to see who is about to win this draw and it might likely be an opening sweep .Cameron Norrie is representing the British team against one of the top claycourt players on the tour (least top 10) who is, in fact, playing on the home court in Marbella in front of his crowd on a very slow court and therefore it's not much up to Norrie in this one.Don't see anything close to a drama match in this one and I trust Bautista enough to finish this match in straight sets and to hold Norrie under 11 games.
 

Dusan has always found a way to play well against John when the draw has forced them to go against each other.They have played 5 times against each other and he has beaten him two times while two times also lost the match in the deciding set tiebreak as Isner usually closes his matches.They played once on clay and it was a tough one for Lajovic but managed to get through by 7-6 4-6 7-6 in Buenos Aires.This one is played in Serbia and will only motivate him even more for this match and I expect quite a tight outcome out of this match and for them to go over 40 games total with a couple of tiebreaks on the way probably.

These two players have played two times against each other of which both of them the Hungarian has managed to win but now its a different type of stage.Belgium is the host of this encounter and Ruben will leave his heart and soul on the court in this match.He likes to play this type of big matches, surface is pretty fast and will suit both of this player's big serves and aggressive games.I don't think that either of them will win it in straight sets here and if they do go to four or more sets in this one and I expect for them to go over the line of games here.

Tsitsipas has entered this season quite well with a good display in Doha and a couple of comfortable wins after which he lost to Thiem and Shapovalov of which both losses were quite expected. Now he plays against a local player who is on the rise and form rise but still, he has more experience in this kind of stage and looks quite close to winning this match. He owns a far better serve, is more aggressive from the back of the court of both wings and I expect him to win this one here in straight sets.

Its safe to say that Roger Federer hasn't been really at his best yet on this Australian Open but still has yet to drop a set on the tournament.Now he plays against a player on the rise, that is full of confidence and looks quite sharp in the baseline exchanges.Still, this is the kind of matchup that Roger really does prefer, a player that doesn't possess a big serve and will not easily expose the backhand side of the Swiss.Federer has more firepower on the forehand wing and the forehand exchanges will be critical in this match.This is something new for Hyeon, first semifinals of the tournament for him and even though he doesn't look as such a player I think that he will be quite impressed with the atmosphere.


I don't think that the serve of Chung is strong enough to threaten Roger, particularly the first serve percentage and the variety on the second serve isn't there.Federer will look to be aggressive straight from the return and if he manages to shake his confidence in the start will have it his way then.


Key facts: First serve percentage, forehand unforced errors(both players), second serve win percentage and net play.The key plays that will decide the victor.


My pick is Roger under 34.5 games where I see the value.

Both Marin Cilic and the Brit player Kyle Edmund is playing and producing some of the top tennis of their lives.Here they go against each other and I think that the Croatian will have the upper hand in the match.He looks like the better player of the two, has better and bigger serve and a lot more dependable backhand wing.Forehand goes on the side of the Brit where he is ultra aggressive but still, Marin is the favorite to win this match and should win it by 4 or more games difference in the end.

Mclachlan and Struff have been one of the nicer surprises of the Aussie open doubles tournament with high-quality win over Kubot/Melo, Lopez/ Lopez, Carreno Busta/Garcia and Kokkinakis Thompson.Really have good chemistry together and even though they aren't favorites to win this match I doubt that they will give it away easily.I expect for this two combinations to play at least one tiebreak in this match and it's quite possible that we will see at least one tiebreak in this match as well.Over 22.5 games look like the best option.

Roger Federer has been a bit at slower pace for him at the start of the Australian Open but now comes the stage when he really picked it up last season and destroyed Berdych in three easy sets.Now, its similar kind of an opponent but it's an opponent that is on this kind of stage for the first time.I don't think that there is much of a chance that Roger losses a set here and if he does win in straight sets I don't see how Marton will win more than 10 games. I expect score like 6-2 6-3 6-4 or something of the sort and for the Hungarian to hang around 8-9 games total in this match. Roger will be on offense from the start of the match and if he is anything close to his normal self the match should be done fairly quickly.Also, you can expect some nervous game at least at the start from the Hungarian.


 

Its the finals match in Germany for one of their own and a player on the rise with no doubt about it against one of the most know challenger players on in over a decade .Both players are left-handed and really take their pride behind their big servers. Surface is like semi  fast , nothing to special but when this two type of players play against one another its to expect a very tight outcome .i think that there is a good chance that at least one of the sets will go into a tiebreak and its quite a good chance that they might even go into three sets.I don't expect a match with too many chances for the returner here and it's quite clear that the service will play the biggest factor in this match.Mats is the better returner of the two but nothing to specially , both can create good angles on those lefty serves and are aggressive after it.Mats is in better form at the moment but Kenny has far more experience. Over looks as the top and only choice on this match

Roger Federer has always had it quite easy against Richard Gasquet, h2h off 17 wins and only 2 losses to Gasquet makes it quite obvious. Now they play again on stage and Roger has looked well on the court so far with comfortable wins over Bedene and Struff who both to be fair played great matches against him. Richard is a different type of a player than those two, doesn't have a big serve as any of those players do and as Roger does and will have to work a lot for his points. His forehand wing is quite weak for a professional player and will find it had to finish points against the Great Swiss .Roger is the far superior of the two players, I don't think that he will lose a set in this one and looks quite good and quite strong to finish this one under 31.5 games.
 

Nick Kyrgios and Jo Wilfred Tsonga have played only once and it was in indoors tournament in France when Jo won the match in the deciding set by 7-5 2-6 6-4.Now Nick is the local player in this match and looks quite sharp on the court and the favorite to win the match is quite clear. Still, Jo likes to play in Australia and has the tools and the skills to bother the Aussie and I doubt that he will give this one away so easily. I expect for them to go over the line of games in this match and to play at least 4 sets .

Grigor Dimitrov and Andrey Rublev have played only once against each other and it was last year on the US Open where the Russian managed to get past the Bulgarian by beating him in straight sets 7-5 7-6 6-4. This time I doubt that any of them will manage to win it easy here. Both players are playing well and look quite good on the court and even though Dimitrov had big problems against McDonald I doubt that he will play like that in this match .i think that we will see quite a hard outcome of this one and for them to go over here.

Ivo Karlovic and Andreas Seppi have played against each other three times of which Ivo have won two matches on faster surfaces grass and hardcourt each once while Seppi has managed to beat him once and that match was played on clay. Both players have performed well in this tournament and I doubt that Ivo will give this match easily here. I expect for him to win at least a set in a match and since I expect for them also to play at least one and even more tiebreaks than that I think that they will go over the line of games as well.

Carreno Busta and Gilles Muller have played three times against each other, kind of expected that Muller won the match on hardcourt by 6-4 7-6 7-6 while Carreno Busta won both claycourt matches and in straight sets. Carreno is a different player than he was since their last match and really plays well on hardcourt.Still, Muller is one of the toughest players you get to play on hardcourts and I doubt that either of this two players will manage to win this one here in straight sets. I expect at least 4 sets in this match and for them to go over the line of games here.

Sam Querrey and Marton Fucsovics have never played against each other on the major stage so far. Still, Marton is a player on the rise and really blossomed over the past half a year or so. Looks very sharp both from the baseline and on serve, a very aggressive player with plenty of power of both wings from the back of the court and looks as a player that can make a potential upset in this one. Both players are big servers and I don't expect a lot of breaks in this match, Marton is good enough player to win a set or more in this match and I don't expect for this one to be a one-sided contest by any means. Sam played almost perfect tennis against Feliciano where his serve was almost untouchable for the majority of the match and even under pressure he served aces and winners like that is no big thing.But here he plays against a very good returner.

Denis and Jo have played only once and it was last season in US Open where Denis won the match in three sets by 6-4 6-4 7-6.To be honest I had my doubts about either taking Denis to cover the spread of +4 games or this one.But I don't think that either of them will manage to win this match here in straight sets.This is a tough matchup for both players, tougher than the odds suggest who give Jo big role of a favorite that isn't that true.I expect them to go to distance in this one.

Ivo Karlovic after over three months of not playing has come into this tournament and defeated the Serbian player Djere in three sets by 7-6 6-4 7-6 .This is a tough draw for him against an excellent baseline player but is an easier draw than it would have been against the American Sock who is a far bigger server than Yuichi is.I don't think that the Japanese player can win this one in straight sets, he isn't that good and will find it very hard to return the serves from Ivo, chances are if we see at least 2 tiebreaks that Ivo will manage to win at least one.I expect for them to go over the spread.

Ryan Harrison and Pablo Cuevas have played only once and it was on clay in Houston where Harrison won the match by 6:3 6:4 and they haven't played since. Now they play again on a slower Australian open surface which should suit Cuevas game a bit more than it will Ryans. Ryan might be the favorite to win the match but all of his wins this season have been really tight and he went to 5 sets in this tournament against Sela. Cuevas is a better player than Dudi is and will manage to take at least a set away from him here if he does so I think that they will cover the spread.

Rafael Nadal is one of the biggest favorites to win the tournament, top player in the world at the moment and this surface in Australia that is a bit slower really suits his game nicely. He plays against the Argentine player Leonardo Mayer who he played 4 times and Leo only won a set from him once. It was last season in US Open in tiebreak first set after which Rafa followed by 6-3 6-1 6-4. All four times they played Rafa covered the spread and after destroying Estrella don't think that he plans to spend too much time on court in this one.

Well, this is a pretty tricky match to anticipate how it will turn out but Feli has played well so far at the start of the season and has a positive record by 6:3 over Sam in their h2h matches and I don't think that Sam will have it easy in this one.Both players are great servers and with it, I think that there is a good chance that we might see them play a tiebreak or two even in this one.Sam is a better returner of the two players but even so he didn't get much playing time this season and lost his only match to Vesely so might need some time to warm up for the season.Over games is the right choice.

This two have never played against each other yet, Chardy hasn't played a single match since Paris loss to Bautista Agut so this one will be his first official match in three months.He took some time off tennis and might be a bit rusty in this match.But even if he is not rusty I don't think that he will have it easy against Tennys who is a good baseline player, has a pretty big serve and likes to play on this type of surface .He can without a doubt push him to distance here and take this one in 4 or 5 sets even.

Even though I think that Denis will win this match and will manage to pass into the next round of the tournament I really doubt that it will happen in straight sets with Stefanos being in very good form at the moment and he should play well enough to take a set here from the Canadian here.Both players are such great servers and really play agressive after it and there for we should not see that many breaks in this one or any blowout sets here and there is a good possibility that we will see a tiebreak or two in this one so this bet also makes a lot of sense here .

Kyle Edmund and Kevin Anderson have played only once against each other and it was last season in France on French Open where they have gone to the max amount of sets with Kevin winning it in the deciding set.Now they play again in the first round of this tournament and I expect another quite thrilling encounter here.Anderson looks as a better option to back for the victory here but Kyle is a player who can take him to distance and trouble him, plus he started this season nicely and will look to continue to build on good plays.Over 38 games it is.

This bet is on Istomin to win the match by 2 games or more difference so there is no concern about it here.He retired to Harrison on the last tournament he played due to hip strain but it was a small injury, nothing too serious to keep him out of this tournament and he should be good and ready for this match.I think that he is in better shape and form at the moment, he is more dependable of the two players from the back of the court and has more variety in his game while Herbert mostly goes to the net on any semi-good ball he plays.Denis will force his backhand side as much as he can and eventually secure the victory here.
