Tennis Betting Odds - Open Sabadell Atlantico Barcelona
By Nila Amerova
Barcelona, Spain – The Open Sabadell Atlantico Barcelona is one of two ATP tennis events currently running this week in online tennis betting at BetUS Sportsbook. Returning to Barcelona is three-time defending champion Rafael Nadal. Gunning for a fourth consecutive title in Barcelona, after winning the Monte Carlo Masters (both singles and doubles) last week, few would bet against odds-on-favorite Nadal to achieve the same impressive feat here. With top seed Nadal, and a whole host of top players in attendance, the Open 2008 Sabadell Atlantico promises to serve up some exiting tennis betting action. To get you started, here are some free tennis picks for your consideration,
Tennis Betting Line: Nicolas Almagro -900 326 Viktor Troicki +450
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Nicolas Almagro enters the Barcelona Open as the tenth seed. Favored at -900, Almagro is the steep favorite in this matchup. Almagro brings a 22-7 mark for the year and two ATP titles. Clay is his best surface. There is little to suggest that Almagro will not come away with the victory here. He is the smart play in this matchup.
Tennis Free Picks: Almagro in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Jose Acasuso -140 Feliciano Lopez EV
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Tennis Prediction: The matchup between Argentinean Jose Acasuso and Spaniard Feliciano Lopez is as tight as the odds would suggest. Favored at -140, the bookies give the slightest edge to Acasuso, owing to a better season, but Lopez holds home court advantage, an edge that could see him through to the next round. As such, I like his chances better.
Tennis Free Picks: Lopez in three sets
Tennis Betting Line: Peter Luczak +250 Potito Starace -400
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Australian Peter Luczak spends a considerable time of the year contesting clay court events. This is his favorite surface. On the other hand, Potito Starace of Italy enjoys this surface as well. Starace warmed up for the clay court season at the Challenger event Napoli, where he won the title. He followed up with a quarterfinal run in Valencia, but at the AMS Monte Carlo, he crashed out of the opening round to Nicolas Lapentti (a former Top 10 player). At -400 favorite odds, Starace is the better play.
Tennis Free Picks: Starace in straight sets
