Not doing very well here :wasntmein Rome despite a good bit of work.

Today.

Roddick to beat Gaudio 3 Units @ 1.56

Gaudio was makng noises about retiring recently saying he is sick of tennis. He best Fish yesterday as exepected but Roddick will be a stiffer test. This is Roddicks best clay event by far awith a QF and a SF appearance here. Its Gaudios worst probably becuase Rome is the fastest of the Masters surfaces for clay which suits the big servers more and nullifies the advatantages of the more natural clay courters. Hoping it stays dry in Rome and Roddicks big serve will dishearten the Argentine.

Ferrero to beat Starace 2 Units @ 1.99

3-0 in the H to H for Ferrero includeing two this year and all on clay. All close and Starace will have the home crowd behind him but it looks a big price. Calleri gifted Starace the match yesterday with a lot of UEs and DFs and I'm hoping Ferrero will be more consistent.


Stepanek might trouble Bagdatis but his form is poor. I've a thing about opposieng Gasquet and Volandri is at home but I'd want more than being offered.

Short priced Gonzalez should beat Tursonov.
