If you watched the matches yesterday you'll know theres only winner. Thats not to say that Nadal didn't have his struggles vs. Simon (faced 7 BP's and saved all of them), but it was evident that Djokovic wasn't an ounce of his former self. I see an easy Rafa win, which is nice for him because he gets to continue his dominance in Monte Carlo but really means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Tennis pick for the final match of a clay court ATP challenger in Brasilian Santos where Czech player Ivo Minar meets local favourite and qualifier Ricardo Hocevar. Minar was ranked well inside Top100 in years 2005 - 2009 and known as a solid clay courter who even represented his country in Davis Cup. But he was suspended for 8 months after testing positive for a banned substance following a Davis Cup tie against Argentina in 2009. He has never come back to his previous positions since then but still has shown some flashes of his previous form on some highly rated challengers. Minar failed to defend his title in Rabat a few weeks ago and so is ranked outside Top200 now and in a need of some good results. Ricardo Hocevar, local favorite and qualifier, is enjoying a good run on his home soil but he is not a player of Minar´s caliber - career best ranking just inside Top150, 0-5 record on ATP level and now just second career final on challenger tour. Hocevar took some decent wins this week and can win his first challenger title today but he could also feel some tiredness as this is just 8th match in as many days for him and four of them went to the distance. Minar is the better and much more experienced player here, showed some impressive form and is yet to lose a set this week in Santos and so is obviously our next tennis pick.
Starting Time: 22 April 2012, 16:30 CET
Bet: Minar
Odds: 1.53
Stake: 6 units
Bookmaker: Bet365
Any interesting prop suggestions guys? Pinnacle has 1st set 6-8 games @18.4 which is worth a shot (was @21 I heard) for some small stakes. I could easily see a 6-2 set if anyone of them struggles a bit
