Tennis Betting - Estoril Open First Round Odds
By Nila Amerova
Estoril, Portugal – Now listen up tennis bettors: this week in tennis betting you have a host of tournaments to bet on. The ATP Tour kicks off the clay-court leg of the year with three clay court events, one of which is the Estoril Open. Bet on the Estoril Open at BetUS Sportsbook. To help you speculate on your tennis wagers, here are some free tennis picks to consider, complete with BetUS tennis odds.
Tennis Betting Line: Roger Federer -2000 102 Olivier Rochus +800
Match Time:05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 15, 2008
Tennis Prediction: World No.1 Roger Federer enters the Estoril Open, significantly bereft of titles for the 2008 season. News of Federer’s recent decision to hire a coach should come as a comfort to Federer fans. In his opening match, Federer plays No.77 Oliver Rochus, a player he owns a perfect 5-0 record over. At -2000 odds, Federer is the sure play in this matchup.
Tennis Free Picks: Federer in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Jarkko Nieminen -200 Denis Gremelmayr +150
Match Time:05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 15, 2008
Tennis Prediction: This is the first-ever meeting between Jarkko Nieminen of Finland and No.104 Denis Gremelmayr of Germany. At -200 favorite odds, Jarkko Nieminen is the better play. However, Gremelmayr favors clay surfaces. His odds at +150 hold value should he upset Nieminen. Heck! I expect he could potentially serve up the win and advance into the second round of the Estoril Open.
Tennis Free Picks: Gremelmayr in straights sets
Tennis Betting Line: Gastao Elias +185 Michael Berrer -250
Match Time:05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 15, 2008
Tennis Prediction: No.66 Michael Berrer has not had a great season. Entering with a 4-10 record for the year, and arriving in Estoril, Portugal, following his Davis Cup Teams loss to Spain last week Berrer is not a player brimming with confidence. No.613 Gastao Elias of Portugal holds home court advantage. Anything is possible in the opening rounds of a tournament. Take the underdog.
Tennis Free Picks: Elias in three sets
Tennis Betting Line: Jurgen Melzer +300 Nikolay Davydenko -500
Match Time:05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 15, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Sony Ericsson Open champion Nikolay Davydenko has had a solid start to his year. With the clay court season in full swing, I expect Davydenko will continue producing solid results. At -500,he is the better play. Further recommending Davydenko is a 3-0 record over Melzer.
