Juan Monaco - Michael Llodra


Juan Monaco - Michael Llodra :Monaco -1 game handicap @1.83 sportingbet

I will continue to bet against Llodra because I think he is overestimated. Followed yesterday's match against Lee and he was very solid on serve in the first set, but not special at all in the second.At 4-4 and 30-0 Lee lost 3 points in a row and finished the game with a double fault , giving the victory to Llodra.
An interesting observation is that Llodra has withdrawn from the doubles match with a shoulder injury. This could be true , or could be only a strategy to stay away from unnecesarry effort.
Monaco has done well in the past against left hand players , being 8-2 last season. Also he showed great form against Johansson , winning in two easy sets.
Both had 2 games last night, with Monaco staying only 2 hours and 15 minutes on the field.
Monaco has impressed me last season on hard against Djokovic , showing a lot a of improvement, and although he is still considered being a better clay player, has rised his game a lot on this surface.

I will go against the player with 9 games in the last 7 days, and choose Monaco to win with -1 game handicap @1.83 at sportingbet
