By Nila Amerova
Barcelona, Spain – Tennis bettors looking for some good value matchups have to look no further than the tennis betting odds at BetUS Sportsbook on the 2008 Barcelona Open. Entering the second round, tomorrow’s line-up of matches feature some exceptional players kicking off their Barcelona campaign, namely Top 20 players, David Ferrer and Tommy Robredo are examples such. So let us look at some of the tennis betting lines available at BetUS for the upcoming second round matchups in Barcelona.
Tennis Betting Line: Tommy Robredo -300 Robin Haase +200
Match Time: 04:30 AM Eastern Time, Wednesday April 30, 2008
Tennis Prediction: This is the first-ever meeting between No.17 Tommy Robredo and No.56 Robin Haase. The Spaniard, Robredo, arrives in Barcelona on the heels of a shaky single’s season, which sits at a 9-8 mark for the year; however, not all is gloomy for Robredo as he arrives to his home event in glory from doubles success. (At the AMS Monte Carlo, Robredo (and doubles partner Nadal) won the Doubles title.) Tipped at -300 favorite odds, Robredo – a championship title in hand and a partisan crowd to cheer him – should be a good play for the win.
Tennis Free Picks: Robredo in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Gabriel Trujillo-Soler +1200 David Ferrer -5000
Match Time: 04:30 AM Eastern Time, Wednesday April 30, 2008
Tennis Prediction: The whopping price tag attached to David Ferrer’s name speaks for itself. Not for nothing, the bookies are confident the favorite will advance.
Tennis Free Picks: Ferrer in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Stanislas Wawrinka -700 Yuri Schukin +400
Match Time: 04:30 AM Eastern Time, Wednesday April 30, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka opens his Barcelona campaign against Russian Yuri Schukin, who enters the tournament as a lucky loser. Wawrinka brings a 13-8 mark for the year into the second round. Last week in Monte Carlo, his first clay court event of the year, Wawrinka crashed out of the first round, after losing to Tommy Robredo 4-6, 5-7. No. 141 Shcukin topped Robby Ginepri in the opening round to book his place in the R32, recording only his second ATP level match win. On paper, everything points to a victory for the Swiss player. Schukin is a long shot bet.
