I see value here. I saw Rochus with Santoro and I should say he is in really good form. He likes playing on baseline and he did it very well. If he will use going to net it will create big problems for Tsonga. I repeat that Tsonga is not clay player and I think Rochus will find the weapon against quite straight play of Tsonga (strong shots that are not so dangerous on not fast clay).
Haas is out of form, had very hard match with Mayer who is a challenger level player, and won inspite of having real problems (i mean he simply was tired) in the fifth set. Also Haas does not like a clay. Chardy has a good serve, likes to attack, plays with high speed and motivation. They met head to head once this year on hard and Chardy won in two sets. In my opinion, 1.60 is a good bet here and stakes will decrease in nearest time.
In my opinion, Vika is more stable player and must win here. She had some problems in the second round with Barrois because of poor first serve, but shown her real class and won the set after loosing 1:5. Navarro's serve isn't so strong as Barrois has, so I think there will be no problems for Vika. On clay they met once this year in Stutgart, Azarenka won easily. If Vika plays as usual and accepts all her technical arsenal, there will be no chances for Navarro.
In my opinion Cilic is better on clay. Stepanek could not win quite poor opponent in three sets in the second round, seems like he is not in good form. I believe Cilic will do his best to win here. High motivation, attacking style and higher class should define the result of this play. They met only once, Stepanek won, but it was two years ago, and today we will see return match!
This bet is based on questionable form of Monfils and good form of Crivoi. Monfils won first match quite easy but today we have other opponent that is stronger than Reynolds and played aggressively. Monfils had problems with health before the tournament and his participation even was under question. I expect a hard battle and problems for Monfils, so such handicap is good in my opinion.
I think Monaclo is a clear favorite here. He is better on clay, Tsonga will need some extra conditions or luck to win. Yes, Tsonga has home advantage but not always this advatage helps. Despite Tsonga enjoys playing tennis and he always has a motivation, I think professionalism will say the last word in this play. The odds are raising on Monaco because of Frenchmen bet on their favourite and it's good time to make a bet, 1.83 is very good.
