There aren't a whole lot of useful stats out there publicly for tennis stuff. Unless you compile your own database, in my experience you're left having to piece things together yourself with H2H/surface/tournament stats.

So I don't know offhand of a reliable outlet for that kind of quick hitting information, but Tennis Insights offers a real mini breakdown of stuff (not always current) just to get a general idea of things. They also have a few sharp punters who will occasionally comment.

Schwank has been playing well recently
Fool around with matchstat.com and check how the players play on particular surfaces
There are probably better matches out there to bet on tomorrow instead of this one.

Stacco is right there are definitely better matches but the dog (Schwank) 1st set is probably better than betting the game, it's going 3 sets either way.

Tommy Haas is my recommendation.

What about Gicquel over Gabashvilli. -163 isn't to much juice for that play

RIPmyson, you in the States? If you aren't, I suggest you find a book that has in-game betting for Tennis. Much easier to bet the sport betting while the match goes.

What odds are you being offered on it? I'd view it as coin flip, so getting + on it would be the play, but don't be going all in on it. Value play. Remember we still have a couple rounds left for better spots.

Ripmyson, there will be a good tournament starting monday in Canada.Will have most of the big names in it. Save your money and make some big plays during that tournament. I'll have it on tv here as well so if you need some commentary during the matches I will be around

You need to get those funds in 5dimes, ugly line. Schwank should be +105..

I don't like betting matches I forecast as being 3 setters.

While a good % of matches go 3 sets, I like to at least feel confident in a straight set outcome. Coin flip is right which is why if you could get Schwank 1st set at a hair above + odds that'd be the play. In your case the odds are a bit crappy so go for a small play and wait for a higher percentage spot.
