ATP Hamburg Round 2

Today we are heading for round 2 in Hamburg, and I can't say we didn't have
a few surprises yesterday, but all in all, the picks I suggested turned out
to be profitable.
Radek Stepanek went past Andreas Beck, contrary to my prediction, even though it was not very easy for him, winning 7-5, 7-6. Today Stepanek takes on Italy's Adreas Seppi, whim he met twice so far and beaten. Their last encounter was in June 2011, in Prostejov, were Stepanek won 7:5, 6:4, and I envision a close match this time as well.
Another interesting game I think will be between Marin Cilic and Bastian Knittel. Knittel is a surprise so far, being an underdog and winning to games, one in the qualifying stage and one yesterday agains Ivan Dodig. Knittel has only one victory in an ATP main draw at Stuttgart, and I believe Cilic, in a normal day, should have no problem in advancing
to the quarter finals.


Here is a list of picks for today for Hamburg, Round 2 (bet365):

1. Radek Stepanek v Andreas Seppi, over 9.5 games first set @1.66 (3/5)
2. Jurgen Melzer to win @1.40 (4/5)
3. Marin Cilic to win 2-0 @1.61 (2/5)
4. Gael Monfils to win 2-0 @1.72 (2/5)
5. Cedrik-Marcel Stebe to win @2.25 (3/5)
6. Philipp Kohlschreiber to win @1.57 (4/5)
