Hamburg, Germany –The Round of 16 online tennis odds for the ATP Masters Series in Hamburg are currently available at BetUS Sportsbook. The tennis gambling market is heating up as the tournament takes one-step closer to crowning a champion on Sunday. So without further ado, here are some choice tennis free picks for online sports betting aficionados looking for some standout tennis bets.

Tennis Betting Line: Juan Monaco -275 Andreas Seppi +190

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Thursday May 15, 2008

Tennis Prediction: This is the first-ever meeting between Juan Monaco and Andreas Seppi. Seppi reached the third round with an upset win over a slumping Richard Gasquet in the second round. Meanwhile, Monaco moves into the T16 defeating Bolelli in the second round.

Last year, Monaco picked up three titles on clay. In 2008, with the spring clay-court season in its midpoint, Monaco arrives empty handed. His best result was a runner-up finish in Vina del Mar. It is time for Monaco to deliver in a clay event this spring. Against Seppi, he enters as the favourite at -275.

Both Seppi and Monaco have an excellent opportunity to reach the quarterfinal of a high profile event like Hamburg, as with the demise of Gasquet this berth in the final eight is up for grab. I expect a nervy start from both players as the stakes are high, but should Monaco string together a solid clay court performance he should top Seppi.

Tennis Free Picks: Monaco in straight sets

Tennis Betting Line: Nikolay Davydenko -350 Nicolas Kiefer +225

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Thursday May 15, 2008

Tennis Prediction: Local favourite Nicolas Kiefer has never relished the clay-court season, enjoying his best results during the hard court portion of the year. Falling in to a slighter tougher section of the draw in his quarter, Kiefer’s encouraging run in Hamburg earned him a third round encounter with Nikolay Davydenko, who is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. Davydenko is an all-court player, who typically enjoys a quiet but solid season, has been in formidable form this year. Winner of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Davydenko is a viable threat for the title in Hamburg. At this stage, I expect a high quality game from both players, but Davydenko is the better play.

Tennis Free Picks: Davydenko in straight sets
