Acasuso vs. Safin. Safin has been in this mode, lose in the first round one tourney, next tourney win a couple, next tourney lose in 1st round. This one is lose in 1st round.


Who knows, but he's busy planning his retirement, so go with the better price - maybe?

staying away, if its clay i take acasuso all the way, but this one's a toss up

[EaglesPhan36]

Agreed. No big edge. Think if you take Mayer over Blake & Acasuso over Safin, you will get 1 of 2 at worst and perhaps make a small profit.

[Ulver86]

agreed, i have no idea why Blake is such a huge favorite when he's been playing like crap this year, not to mention it's in China and blake's game doesn't travel well

might lay a small amount on Mayer

[EaglesPhan36]

I actually was hoping it was the younger Mayer from Argentina who I think would win for sure, but it's the German - still no reason as you said to lay anything on Blake at this price - also rumors he may have dumped his coach who was a close friend for someone new.
