Tennis Picks 2019 (July 30th)

There are plenty of matches scheduled for Tuesday at the various tournaments being played and you can read my selections from the First Round below.

I have noted that the ATP Washington event will move onto the Second Round on Tuesday too, but those markets have yet to be formulated and any Picks from those matches scheduled for the day will be added to this thread on the day around lunchtime.

At that point I will also update the weekly totals after a mixed start to the week with two of the three underdogs I picked outright losing in the final set. Hopefully Tuesday will prove to be a much more productive day and get this week moved back into the black.


Cori Gauff - 2.5 games v Zarina Diyas: A huge spotlight shone on Cori Gauff at Wimbledon earlier this month as the 15 year old Qualified for the main draw and then reached the second week of the third Grand Slam of the 2019 season. The potential the young American has shown seemed to come to fruition in SW19, but the new expectations and exposure Gauff had means expectations have been raised and her own fanbase has also increased tremendously.

Cori Gauff is still at an age where she is not allowed to join the Tour full time unlike in past years and that means she has to pick and choose her events. It also means it is difficult for Gauff to improve her immediate World Ranking to ensure automatic entry into some of the tournaments to be played this summer, but Gauff was high enough to enter the Washington Qualifiers and made light work of her two opponents to reach the main draw.

Her peak World Ranking came at the end of Wimbledon, but Cori Gauff is almost certainly going to move above that mark as long as she can win at least one match in the main draw in the nation's capital. She is favoured to see off Zarina Diyas, but the veteran is someone that has to be respected in this First Round match.

There have been some solid numbers produced by Diyas on the hard courts in the last couple of years, but she has not been as strong on the surface at the main WTA level in 2019. Zarina Diyas has played well in a couple of ITF events which have seen her reach 17 hard court wins for the season, but only 6 of those have come at this level as the Kazakhstan player has seen her numbers drop on both the serve and the return compared with 2018.

This is only the second top 100 Ranked player that Gauff would have played on the hard courts in 2019 and she was comfortably beaten by Daria Kasatkina in the Second Round in Miami back in March. It has to be a concern when backing her as the favourite as there is limited numbers that we can look at considering the lack of main Tour tennis the young American has played.

We do know that Cori Gauff has a very good serve that should be very effective on the hard courts if Zarina Diyas is not quite up to her best level on the return. The latter has also been beaten by a couple of young, up and coming opponents already on this surface in 2019 although Diyas has only lost one match out of six played against someone Ranked outside the top 100.

I do think Gauff is going to be over-rated by the layers on the form she showed at Wimbledon, but I think this is a good chance for her to come through the First Round in Washington. The veteran won't roll over easily, but Zarina Diyas has lost to some of the younger players on the Tour who are looking to make their step up onto the main Tour level and I think Gauff can add to that list against her.


Monica Puig - 3.5 games v Allie Kiick: There are some really talented players coming through the ranks in American tennis, but Allie Kiick has been given a Wild Card into the Washington main draw despite not really being amongst the players with big expectations on their shoulders. She is Ranked at Number 130, although Kiick would likely surpass her career best mark of Number 126 if she can win this First Round match.

It won't be easy for the American considering the lack of tennis she has played at this level. Allie Kiick was beaten in the opening Qualifying Rounds in Brisbane, Indian Wells and Miami and also failed to get through the Qualifiers to reach the Australian Open main draw.

A couple of solid runs at the level below the main WTA Tour would have given Kiick some belief, but now she faces a quality operator in Monica Puig in the First Round in Washington.

To be honest this has not been a great season for Puig who won the Olympic Gold Medal on a hard court in 2016. In each of the last three seasons Puig has produced at least 22 wins on the hard courts, but she is 4-7 in 2019 and her service numbers are considerably down on the standards she has set between 2016 and 2018.

Even the return of serve is slightly down on her numbers, but Puig has felt the pressure of not being to get through her service games as effectively as she has previously. It does make her a vulnerable player to back, especially as she has not played any competitive tennis since going out in the Second Round at Wimbledon, but the Puerto Rican should be happy with the match up here.

The Allie Kiick return could be a big weapon for her if the upset is going to be secured, but I also expect her own serve to be challenged by Monica Puig. The key for the latter is to not give her opponent too much confidence by making a slow start in this match and as long as she can avoid doing that, I think Puig can win and cover in this one.


Donna Vekic - 4.5 games v Misaki Doi: At 23 years old it may be something of a surprise to read that I think Donna Vekic needs to start making serious inroads with her career if she is going to fulfil the potential so many believed she had. It does feel like Vekic has been on the Tour forever, but there might not be a big window for her to develop into a top 10 player with a new crop of talented youngsters making the headlines in 2019.

The Croatian is playing arguably her best tennis on the hard courts in her career and she did reach a peak Ranking last month, although the Donna Vekic fans will be disappointed that their player has not been able to crack the top 20 yet.

There has been a clear improvement in the level of performance produced by Vekic in each of the last four years. Her serve has been one that has produced a higher percentage of points on both the first and second serve in each of the past four seasons and Vekic has also improved the percentage of points won against the opponent's serve in each of those years too.

Donna Vekic is winning 46% of return points on the hard courts in 2019 and that is the kind of returning which should put plenty of pressure on Misaki Doi. The Japanese left hander has been pretty average on the hard courts in 2019 and was hammered by Vekic when these players met in Acapulco earlier this year.

A lot of the positives have come against players much lower down the Rankings, but Misaki Doi is only 2-6 on the hard courts against top 100 Ranked opponents in 2019. The serve is not as effective in those matches, but the real slippage comes on the return of serve and I do think Donna Vekic is going to be someone that should be able to run through the majority of her service games without being under immense pressure.

It happened when they met in Acapulco where Vekic did not face a break point in her dominant win over Doi. On that day the Croatian also won 53% of return points played and I think she will have the edge in this one on both sides of the court which should give Donna Vekic a chance to win and cover in this First Round match.

I would be surprised if Vekic only loses three games again, but I think she will still do enough to cover the mark set by the layers.


Miomir Kecmanovic - 1.5 games v Alexei Popyrin: These two players both turn 20 years old in the next month and both have entered the top 100 of the World Rankings thanks to some positive performances in 2019. Both Miomir Kecmanovic and Alexei Popyrin have played plenty of tennis on the hard courts on the main ATP Tour, but it is the Serbian who has perhaps been the more consistent.

I backed Kecmanovic a couple of times with success last week and I do believe he is rightly favoured in this First Round match. That isn't a disrespect to Popyrin who reached the Quarter Final in Atlanta last week along with Kecmanovic, but it is Kecmanovic who has been the more consistent player of the two.

Both have played a fair few matches off the main Tour, but there is enough data to take away from their performances in hard court matches at the highest level. The serve has been key for both Kecmanovic and Popyrin and I expect it is going to be an important part of their success or failure on Tuesday too.

Miomir Kecmanovic has held 85% of his service games played on the hard courts in main Tour events, while Alexei Popyrin is at 83%. The narrow edge also belongs to Kecmanovic as far as service points are concerned having won 67% of the points played behind his serve compared with 66% for Popyrin.

Where the match could be won and lost is the success the two players can have on the return of serve with break point chances expected to be few and far between in hot conditions in Washington. This is an area where Kecmanovic has had a significant edge over Popyrin having broken in 21% of return games on the surface compared with the Australian's number of 15%.

You can't always factor in how a player will perform on the break points, especially when there are not expected to be a host of them either way, but the slightly more productive return of Kecmanovic could be the key to the outcome of this match. It will likely be close and I would not be that surprised if three sets are needed, but I will back the slight favourite to cover in this one.


Grigor Dimitrov - 1.5 games v Steve Johnson: On the face of things it is quite stunning to see Grigor Dimitrov outside of the top 50 of the World Rankings, but it says a lot about how his last eighteen months have gone. Another upset last week saw Dimitrov beaten in the First Round in Atlanta, and he really has become a player that I will not back too often as he is over-rated by the layers.

In saying that I do think he could be potentially under-rated in this First Round match against Steve Johnson. The two players have met six times on the Tour and it is Grigor Dimitrov who has won four of those matches, which also includes winning their last three matches on the hard courts.

The last of those was in 2017 and things are much different for Dimitrov these days, although his numbers on the hard courts in 2019 suggests he should have had better than a 6-4 record that he holds. In 2018 the Bulgarian won 16 matches on the hard courts, but he won a fewer percentage of points played behind both serve and return than Dimitrov has in 2018. That suggests he is not playing the big points as well as he should be when seeing he is holding 81% of his service games compared with 83% last year, but he has been much more successful when it comes to breaking an opponent's serve.

The return game is going to be tested by American Steve Johnson who has surprisingly chosen to play in Los Cabos rather than Washington this week. Johnson is playing his first hard court match since the Miami Masters in March and he is just 4-7 on the surface this year, although Johnson has not been playing as poorly as that losing record would suggest.

The American has held 83% of his return games, but Johnson's struggles on the return of serve continues to blight him. Steve Johnson has won 33% of return points played and he has broken in just 15% of return games played compared with Grigor Dimitrov who is at 39% and 25% in those categories respectively.

It is that edge on the return which makes me favour Dimitrov in this match and in their past meetings on the hard courts we have seen the Bulgarian hold 89% of his service games compared with Johnson at 75%. That might not seem a huge difference, but it is significant enough to give Grigor Dimitrov the edge in this one.

He is a vulnerable favourite when you consider the inconsistent results Dimitrov has earned all season, but I think he can edge out Steve Johnson here. I will look for him to cover in very hot conditions in Los Cabos on Tuesday in this First Round match.


Kyle Edmund - 3.5 games v Lloyd Harris: Injuries have been blighting Kyle Edmund's season and it was a factor in his defeat at Wimbledon to Fernando Verdasco when blowing a 2-0 lead in sets. He has had a few weeks to recover and get ready for the hard court season as Edmund looks to reverse his slip down the World Rankings and receiving a bye into the Second Round at Washington means he has had a few more days to get used to the hot conditions at this event.

Having a bye does mean that Edmund is facing an opponent who has the confidence of winning a First Round match and Lloyd Harris will be looking to take advantage of the British player if he is not at 100%.

Kyle Edmund has been able to play some strong hard court tennis in 2019, although his best result has been winning a Challenger event played at Indian Wells at the end of February. When he has played at the main Tour level Edmund has pretty consistent kind of results on the surface with a strong hold percentage but perhaps not being as strong on the return of serve as he would like.

However he should have the edge over Lloyd Harris who has not had as strong a year on the surface as he may have expected, especially as much of his time is still spent below the main Tour level. The South African came from a set behind to beat Ricardas Berankis in the First Round to improve to 2-4 in hard court matches on the ATP Tour, but Harris has only been holding in 63% of service games played and that number is not that much better at 78% overall in 2019.

Like Edmund, Harris is not the best returner on the surface and I do think the British player's superior serve can be the difference on the day. These two players met earlier in the season and it was Edmund who dominated the match despite needing three sets to beat Harris. The difference in serve proved to be the big factor on the day and I think the same may happen in Washington on Tuesday.


Jo-Wilfried Tsonga v Karen Khachanov: At 34 years old you would have to guess that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's best days are now behind him, but he should be able to vastly improve his current World Ranking in the weeks and months ahead. There are very few points for Tsonga to defend from 2018 and he is playing well enough to at least make an impact at the next few events to push up the Rankings from his Number 70 spot.

He was a solid First Round winner on Monday and Tsonga is back in action on Tuesday as a slight underdog in a virtual pick 'em Second Round match against Karen Khachanov. These two players have met twice before, but not since 2017, and Tsonga will be looking for a third win over the young, improving Russian.

Karen Khachanov has seen his numbers drop significantly from the level produced on the hard courts in 2018 compared with 2019. He is just 7-7 in matches on the surface, while Khachanov has seen his percentage of games held behind serve drop from 88% to 83%. The Russian has also seen the return of serve decline with breaks earned in 22% of return games in 2018 dropping to 17% in 2019.

Now he has to face an opponent in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who has been able to produce some big serving and who can expose some of the limitations Khachanov has had on the return of serve. The Frenchman is also a fairly limited returner, but he may have the edge on the serve which can be the difference when it comes to what looks like being a close match.

It can't be ignored that Tsonga is 0-3 on the hard courts against top 20 Ranked opponents in 2019, although he has only faced Daniil Medvedev (twice) and Novak Djokovic. Both of those players are significantly better returners than Khachanov though and I think Tsonga will enjoy this kind of match up a bit more with the aggression coming from the other side of the net meaning points are going to be relatively short.

This Second Round match going the distance would not be a surprise, but I think Tsonga may have the edge with the match under his belt in these conditions. In each of the last two seasons, Karen Khachanov has lost his first hard court match played between Wimbledon and the US Open and a strong serving day from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will give him a chance to add to that run here.

Tennis Picks 2018 (July 30th)

I've had a lot going on in my life in the real world over the last month which has meant I have not really had the time to do the necessary research and also write up my thoughts for the Picks from the Tennis tournaments which have been in action since the close of Wimbledon.

Hopefully things will clear up in the days ahead as we move into August and I can find a bit more consistency with the analysis even if the Tennis Picks have continued to be posted.


Last week was a disappointing one and I decided to put an end to Tennis Picks a little before the end of the week as I was not getting a good read of the matches later in the week.

Some of the players reaching the business end of the tournaments underlined the basic weakness of the draws, but the move into August means a few more bigger names are out on the courts this week. The ATP event in Washington and the WTA event in San Jose are traditionally strong hard court events in the early preparation for the US Open ahead of the trips to Canada and Cincinnati both Tours will be taking before heading to Flushing Meadows at the end of the August.

We also have a WTA event in Washington and a couple of ATP events in Los Cabos and Kitzbuhel to be played this week so there should be a few chances to find the Tennis Picks to produce a winning week after the disappointment of last week.

My first Picks can be found in the 'MY PICKS' section below and the season totals have been updated too.

Tennis Picks 2017 (August 2nd)

I was really frustrated yesterday morning and felt close to deciding to make a break from the Tennis Picks until next week when the Canadian Masters/Premier Event is due to begin.

While the remainder of Tuesday was better, I still feel something has been left on the court with a couple of players going down in close matches, especially Kei Nishikori who didn't cover despite breaking serve five times against Donald Young. My fears about his serve proved correct, but that is frustrating because Nishikori has no business not winning that match more comfortably, although overall it was a winning day on Tuesday.

Kitzbuhel had a lot of close Second Round matches on Wednesday and I didn't find anything of interest from there on this day. However there look to be better options at the events in Washington and Los Cabos and that is where the picks come from on Wednesday in Second Round action.


Lucas Pouille - 3.5 games v Tommy Paul: One of the main reasons that I can't see Lucas Pouille maintaining his position inside the top 20 of the World Rankings at this moment is the poor return numbers he produces . There is clearly plenty of heart and determination inside of Pouille which sees him play really well at clutch moments, while the serve is better than advertised, but without improving the return there are going to be plenty of chances for his opponents to get the better of him.

The Frenchman is a solid player, but I think you have to be a little ignorant to bypass the fact that his last eight losses have all come as the favourite. If Pouille is slightly below his par level, Tommy Paul could be another who can take advantage, although the young American will have to have a career best performance to do that.

Paul has served well, but I think the movement can be exploited and he might be under pressure if Pouille is serving as well as he can. The first match back on the hard courts might mean Pouille is a little undercooked against an opponent who reached the Quarter Final last week in Atlanta, although Paul's defeat came against the first player he met who is at a similar level to Pouille.

The youngster has played a lot of tennis over the last eight/nine days with a number of his wins last week coming in three sets. Paul also needed to come from behind to beat Casper Ruud on Monday and was helped by the latter being affected by the heat and humidity in Washington on the day.

I do think Paul will have some solid moments, but I think Pouille's experience can tell. While it will need a better than normal returning day from the Frenchman, I do think Pouille is going to be good enough to earn himself a 6-4, 6-4 win.


Gilles Muller - 4.5 games v Dmitry Tursunov: Over the years Dmitry Tursunov has had the better of Gilles Muller, but their last meeting took place twelve months ago and ended in a routine win of the lefty from Luxembourg. While Muller has found an Indian Summer to his career, Tursunov has seen injury knock his World Ranking down outside the top 800 and his 'Protected Ranking' tournaments are beginning to run out too.

The Russian did win his first match since March 2016 in the First Round on Tuesday, snapping a run of nine consecutive losses for Tursunov. The last four losses had been in very comfortable fashion and I do wonder if this is a player that is just playing out the tournaments he can enter at this level before calling it a day in his career.

Muller is thinking of anything other than retirement in what has been a memorable 2017 for him already. Some of the numbers dictate that Muller is perhaps going to go through a difficult patch of results soon with the returning numbers not matching up to the success he has had in breaking serve.

His own serve has been a huge weapon and Muller will have some confidence having reached the Semi Final last week in Atlanta. The return game obviously is a little limited and makes me wonder if he can cover spreads like the one he is faced here, but I am backing Muller to do that against Tursunov who won't be used to playing two matches in quick fashion as he is on Wednesday.

At his peak Tursunov had a huge serve, but this is a less effective shot these days. As long as Muller can make a few effective returns I can see him finding a way to earn at least a couple of breaks of serve and that may be enough to earn a 7-6, 6-2 win.


Grigor Dimitrov - 3.5 games v Kyle Edmund: I am not as high on Kyle Edmund as some in the British media seem to be, but I will say this is a player who has found some of his best tennis when he has been matched up against the top 20 players on the Tour. That makes him a dangerous Second Round opponent for Grigor Dimitrov who is making his first appearance on the hard courts this summer.

The Dimitrov numbers in 2017 have actually been pretty good as he looks to make a move back up the World Rankings and he has been particularly good when facing the players Ranked lower down. The serve has been well protected, while the Dimitrov return has been more effective when playing those Ranked outside the top 20 of the World Rankings.

He will need to be at his best because he is facing a player who reached the Semi Final in Atlanta and Edmund also had an impressive First Round win here. There is still room for improvement on the return of serve if Edmund is going to reach the top 20 of the World Rankings, but he does seem to thrive on matches against the best players.

Edmund may only have a 6-17 record against top 20 players, but that becomes 5-11 when looking at the last twelve months and that has to be respected. While the return numbers are not overly impressive, Edmund seems to be very good at converting the break point chances he does earn and that has led to some sets being stolen.

That makes him dangerous when you think of the number he is being given in this one, but Dimitrov is 11-1 against players outside the top 20 of the World Rankings on the hard courts in 2017. The return has been very effective in those matches and Dimitrov has served well which can help him get the better of Edmund in a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win.


Gael Monfils - 4.5 games v Yuki Bhambri: The defending Champion is a very popular figure with fans around the world and that is no different in Washington where Gael Monfils feels comfortable. Monfils won the title here last year and in two previous visits to Washington he has reached the Semi Final and finished Runner Up in those two trips.

It is clear Monfils enjoys the conditions and he will come in with the confidence of being the defending Champion. The first match back on the hard courts is a factor for Monfils this week, but he has played well against those players Ranked outside the top 100 like he is facing on Wednesday.

Monfils has a 18-2 record against players Ranked outside the top 100 on the hard courts over the last four years including a 3-0 record this season. The service numbers have been steady, but Monfils has improved his returning numbers in each of the last three years in this situation.

You can see why that would be the case with his defensive ability meaning lower Ranked players have to hit more quality shots than they will be used to at their usual level. That may be a problem for Yuki Bhambri who has only played thirty-two matches at the main ATP level and is 3-7 when facing top 50 Ranked opponents.

That becomes 1-7 on the hard courts and Bhambri struggles to hold the serve while also having real issues getting his teeth into return games. Even though I do feel Monfils is the kind of player who can leave the door open for opponents when he is not fully motivated, I don't think that will be the case here and I imagine he is capable of around four breaks of serve leading to a 6-4, 6-3 win.


Fernando Verdasco - 4.5 games v Vincent Millot: There is no doubt that Fernando Verdasco took victory from the jaws of defeat in the First Round as he recovered from 6-7, 3-5 to beat Ernesto Escobedo 6-7, 7-5, 6-2. While Verdasco is playing on back to back days, I think that is the kind of win that will give him confidence to take into the rest of the tournament.

The match in the Second Round should be one Verdasco is comfortable win as he faces Vincent Millot who is Ranked outside the top 100 and also off a three set win. It was an upset win for the Frenchman and he is going to need to be at his very best, and Verdasco way under par, for him to earn another one of those.

His serve is going to be challenged by Verdasco who continues to find the solid returning games in 2017 to protect the declining service numbers. The Spaniard is still capable of rattling through the service games, but he seems to face some real pressure on a couple of those which he can't escape.

It may be a little easier against Millot whose returning stats are not that impressive despite playing at the lower level for much of the season. These factors should come together in this one and that is why I think Verdasco is going to find his way to a much more routine win than the one he had in the First Round.

As long as Verdasco takes the chances that he will create, I think the Spaniard is able to move into the Quarter Final behind a 7-5, 6-3 win.


Tomas Berdych - 4.5 games v Akira Santillon: The decline of Tomas Berdych has been noticeable but it has not been a quick one and he is still very capable of producing some big time tennis on his day. He is once again threatening to get back inside the top 10 of the World Rankings and his performances on the grass courts will encourage him.

There is no doubt the returning stats have declined and that has to be a worry for Berdych, but he is still capable of winning matches like this one. Akira Santillon may be a part of the next generation of stars on the ATP Tour, but the youngster has not really made his breakthrough on the main Tour just yet.

The numbers have not been that strong to support a breakthrough win like this one would be if Santillon does earn the upset on Wednesday. Having won three matches and Berdych playing his first hard court match of the summer may help Santillon, but I think he will need more to close the gap between these players.

Santillon is just 1-5 against top 100 Ranked players in his young career, and he has had significant issues protecting serve. That will aid Berdych despite the declining returning numbers, while the Berdych serve is likely to be well protected.

It all seems to point to a fairly routine day for Berdych and Santillon's five losses against top 100 Ranked players have seen the opponent cover this number four times. I will look for Berdych to become the latest to do that after a slower start while getting the hard court feel back underneath the feet.


Julia Goerges - 3.5 games v Alison Van Uytvanck: There are a few players on the WTA Tour that can be hard to trust and I think Julia Goerges is definitely one of them. Despite having some strong numbers, Goerges does not play the big points as effectively as I would like when thinking of backing her, but this may be a match that suits her.

As well as Alison Van Uytvanck is capable of playing, I do think the main reason she has not been able to move up the World Rankings as effectively as she would like is the poor return numbers. That is going to be tested to the full by Goerges who can serve effectively on the faster surfaces and also has the slightly stronger return numbers which can see her cover this handicap.

There are times when Goerges can come completely off the boil which will give Van Uytvanck her chance to break the serve, but overall I do think the majority of chances will come for the German.

It is a matter of taking those opportunities when they are presented against an opponent who can rattle through service games before getting into a difficult position. The problem for Van Uytvanck is her aggressive style means she plays with little margin for error and she just doesn't have the same consistency as the top players to keep finding her marks.

Backing Goerges is always a chore, but she should have enough of an edge to work her way to a 7-6, 6-3 win in this one.

Tennis Picks 2017 (July 31st)

Today was not supposed to be as busy as it has turned out and I realise that the tournaments in Washington and Los Cabos, from where my tennis picks are focusing today, are shortly due to begin.

However I do have three picks from the First Round matches that have been scheduled across those two tournaments on Monday. Unfortunately it does mean a third straight day where I have to put up the picks without the breakdown, although I will ensure that doesn't happen again on Tuesday.


MY PICKS: Tommy Paul - 3.5 Games @ 1.91 Bet365 (2 Units)
