Rome Masters Tennis Picks 2019 (May 16th)

After a terrible day of rain at the Rome Open, the Tennis on Thursday is going to see the whole of the Second Round and Third Round being completed which means a number of players are going to have to win two matches in a matter of hours to stay in the tournament.

It is not ideal, but the organisers have to get this tournament back on track, although the weather forecast for the weekend is not looking great. The next two days do look better though and I would expect the event to be back in line with what they would have expected.


With the quick turnaround I do think there are going to be some matches that I would want to move past, but others could still be worthy of being selected for the Tennis Picks. There really isn't going to be the time I would like to put any thoughts down, but I should be able to invest enough time to look through the matches as they are put together and add any to this thread.

I will endeavour to get those matches out at least a couple of hours before the players are due on court, but much depends on the speed in which the layers are able to formulate their markets. Adding in the factor of some players being involved in a second match of the day going up against others who have not played may mean a slight shift in my criteria and I think it will also mean I am passing on some matches that may have usually been intriguing to me.


This thread will be updated over the next few hours as more Third Round matches are confirmed and I will update season and weekly totals in the Friday thread as we reach the Quarter Final in Rome.
