ATP Newport

After Wimbledon, were Novak Djokovic became world number 1 for the first time ending the Federer-Nadal domination at least for a while, we head for the only tournament on grass held on the American continent, at Newport, Rhode Island. Players will be looking up to $442,500 in total prizes.
I have posted my betting suggestions in a previous post today, but I thought of adding a few words on who is playing and take a look at the schedule of play.
The drawing of men's singles and doubles can be found here: http://www.tennisfame.com/sites/default/files/X%281%29.pdf.
With the number 1 American and former Newport winner, Mardy Fish, engaged in the Davis Cup battle against Spain, John Isner is credited with the first chance to win the tournament this year. But we should also pay attention to Olivier Rochus, whom reached the semifinals in 2009 and the final in 2010. "Rising star" Grigor Dimitrov is through to second round and seeded no. 2 in this tournament. I will try to keep up with the events and offer timely picks covering most of them.
