Lammer - Youzhny
Lammer seems to be an obvious fade judging his ranking and the poor stuff he has been showing, but I really like him in this spot. He didn't get a wildcard but had to qualify instead, grabbing 2 wins as an underdog against Tomic and his countrymen Chiudinelli. Tomic has been in good form for a while now, so that win surely tells me something. Lammer has the crowd advantage here and Youzhny hasn't been doing well at all this year. Last week he didn't stand a chance against Cilic despite his own home advantage and ofcourse the rest of his year hasn't been good either. I really like Youz, but he can be a real mental midget and has the tendency not to show up on occasions like this one. For me this is a relatively big bet in total, with my stake divided between +1.5 sets @ 2.8, the +5 handicap @ 2.08 and the match odd @ 6. Hopefully the home dog delivers here.
