Tennis Betting - ATP Abierto Mexicano Tennis Picks
By Nila Amerova
Acapulco, Mexico – Last week’s Copa Telmex winner David Nalbandian heads up a stellar line-up on the men’s side at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel. Nalbandian who received top seed, followed by second seed Carlos Moya and third seed Juan Monaco, are just a few of the tour’s top players competing in Mexico. So with the tennis odds currently live at BetUS, here are a few choice tennis free picks to get you started betting on tennis.
Tennis Betting Line: Nicolas Almagro -500 Jiri Vanek +300
Match Time: 07:00 PM Eastern Time, February 25, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Rising Spanish talent No.28 Nicolas Almagro, who won the Costa Do Sauipe title two weeks ago and reached the quarterfinal round in Buenos Aires – both clay court events—arrives in Mexico as the sixth seed. In his opening match, he meets Czech No. 97 Jiri Vanek, a player he meets for the first time. Vanek favors clay surface, but he is a long shot bet as in Almagro he comes up against one of the better clay courters on the tour in Almagro.
Tennis Free Picks: Almagro in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Juan Monaco -550 Juan Pablo Brzezicki +325
Match Time: 09:30 PM Eastern Time, February 25, 2008
Tennis Prediction: No.23 Juan Monaco of Argentina enters the Abierto Mexicano Telcel tournament, with a 9/3 record for the season. Against Juan Pablo Brzezicki, he holds a 1-0 record in ATP level events and a 2-0 record on the Challenger circuit. Monaco is the better play.
Tennis Free Picks: Juan Monaco in straight sets.
Tennis Betting Line: Marcel Granollers -650 Bruno Rodriguez +375
Match Time: 07:00 PM Eastern Time, February 25, 2008
Tennis Prediction: No.116 Marcel Granollers-Pujol of Spain is favoured at a whopping -650. He is a good bet in this matchup, especially as there is very little in the way of information and statistics to go on.
Tennis Free Picks: Granollers in straight sets
