Not much luck with last week's tips. Fair play to anyone who picked Monfils to win in Montpellier and particularly those aboard Kukushkin to win in St Petersburg; I did forewarn strange things happen in Russia.
With Federer, Djokovic and Murray back in action this week, I'm going for a couple of speculative picks who almost certainly won't win but whose odds should come in considerably should they make progress to the later stages.
The Basel market is heavily skewed towards Roger Federer, and who would bet against a man with this level of serving accuracy! Andy Roddick returns to action after a couple of weeks convalescing, and I like his chances of reaching the semis should be get past his first round match against Sam Querrey. Roddick is available at 20-1 which looks attractive for a player who has the incentive of qualification for the season ending World Tour Finals to play for.
I agree with Sean Calvert's post that Stan Wawrinka is worth backing in Valencia. Wawrinka has had the misfortune of being drawn against Federer and Nadal in the early rounds of his previous 2 tournaments, but on both occasions proved no pushover breaking Federer's serve 3 times last time out.
