I'd personally stay away from Almagro vs Monaco.

Monaco actually won this event last year, and he beat Almagro in the semis (and Haas in the final) to do it, he also won on Dusseldorf clay courts a few months ago so he probably loves playing in Germany right now. He has two decent wins behind him this week against Monfils and Paire too, and although I'm not siding with Monaco to win, I just don't see enough to confidently back Almagro.

Also, although I fancied Haas to win Hamburg this week, there's no denying Fognini has been in fine form and he even beat Haas only 7 days ago 6-2 6-4, Haas was on home soil there as well. I don't think the odds of 1.6 are worth the risk.

fog@2.35 never been a fog fan bet against him with kohli who was in pretty good form way better form than tommy imo, even though scoreline was close fog dominated the match only reason score was close because kohli saved 0-40 and 15-40 many times it felt like fog had bps every kohli service game tommy boy really needs to serve well or he will be in trouble like kohli add fog+2.5@1.95

Flavio Cipolla vs. Albano Olivetti

This duel between Italian player Flavio Cipolla and Albano Olivetti from France at the ATP Challenger Tour event in Recanati seems to be wrongly priced by bookmakers and therefore represents nice option for a valuable tennis bet. The 29-year-old Flavio Cipolla is obviously the higher ranked and better known player out of these two as was ranked as high as world Nr. 70 in last season. He has already reached a third round of a Grand Slam event (2008 US Open) and won 5 ATP Challenger Tour events. Cipolla likes playing on red clay and slow hard courts and considers forehand his best shot. His current form is not exactly great as he has a 15-21 record in this season and finds himself ranked just outside the Top150. Albano Olivetti is a 21-year-old French player who surely can improve his ranking in next months and years. His best result came in Marseille last year, where he qualified for the main draw of an ATP Tour event for the first time in his career and shocked the former world Nr. 8 Mardy Fish. Olivetti is known for his powerful serves as he can serve at 160 mph and is one of the best servers in the game. He usually serves high number of aces every match and is also known for his high-risk tennis and often serves second serve with the speed of the first serve and this often results in second serve aces but also quite high number of double faults. "He puts pressure on you with his serve and that's what big servers do. He probably has one of the hardest serves I’ve ever played against. He hit me with a serve and I almost hurt my left wrist. I had a rough time with his serve, for sure. When he's down 15-40, he can come back with not only his first serve but his second serve - it's almost just as good." commented Fish. His serve and overall playing style is comparable to Ivo Karlovic, John Isner of fellow Frenchman Kenny De Schepper. Albano Olivetti considers hard courts his favourite surface and is definitely really hard to beat when his serve is working. Olivetti missed first five months of this tennis season due to injury and has just 7-6 record in 2013. He has defeated Olivo and Propoggia here in Recanati and did not lose his serve in any of these matches and hitting 40 aces. There is no doubt that Cipolla is clearly the better player from the baseline and should win most of the long rallies but it will be hard for him to break Olivetti´s serve and in addition Cipolla´s serve is more than attackable. All in all this match should be much closer than odds suggest and therefore odds 3.75 represent great value and a nice tennis bet.

fog is in good form has beaten haas recently and played great against kohli probably a 50/50 match but would you rather tommy @1.55 or fog @2.35 kohli and tommy are similar players but kohli probably more clutch on serve if he has 0-40 he can save it all but tommy can get nervous play a dumb shot or df im taking fog because of the odds just my opinion
