Re: Tennis 11-18/6/2007 (ATP Halle & Queens, WTA Birmingham & Barcelona Clay)
Nieminen to beat Vliegen @ evens 2pts
I'm going to go against Engineer and side with Nieminen to beat Vliegen. Should be a pretty close match, but Nieminen is the player in better form of late, and Vliegen has lost more matches than he's played on grass (7-10).
Melzer to beat Davydenko @ 1.82 1pt
Davydenko has a truly terrible grass court record, 1-11, with defeats to the likes of Falla, Wang and Childs. A record like that can't be overlooked, and Melzer's a capable enough grass court player.
For Karlovic v Fish, the price on Fish looks pretty tempting to me, I have to say. However, given what Wittmann says about Fish maybe being injured, I'm going to reluctantly avoid this one.
Gallovits to beat Ruano Pascual @ 2.1 2pts
This one on the clay in Barcelona, and Gallovits has a superb record on clay this season, with 2 titles already under her belt, which have seen her break into the top 100 (and above Ruano Pascual) in the rankings. She's 29-12 overall for the year, 20-5 on clay (against 7-9 overall for Ruano Pascual, 6-6 on clay). Ruano Pascual has lost to players outside the top 200 in her last 2 matches.
