Tennis Picks – Rus rushes in

Heather Watson – Lucie Safarova
We need to go back to 2007 to find the last time Safarova passed the 2nd round of any grass court tournament and she could be in for a very hard time against Watson.

The brit met Safarova for the first and so far only time back in march this year, with Watson winning 6-2 6-1. That’s some deficit to overturn.

Sofia Arvidsson – Arantxa Rus
I went against Arvidsson yesterday, which obviously didn’t work out, but I’m definitely going to try my luck again today with prices like these on Rus.

Not that Rus is one massive player, but like yesterday because anyone can beat Arvidsson on grass. Jankovic couldn’t because she was too tired, I guess, after losing a final on Sunday.

Arvidsson has has lost 11 of her last 13 matches on this surface.

Gilles Muller – Alejandro Falla
Muller can be a tough nut to crack because of his serve, but Falla has met him twice and managed to crack this nut on both occasions, so why not again?

Muller’s serve hasn’t helped him much in the past here in the Netherlands, since this is the 6th time he’s taking part since 2001 and it’s the first time he’s passed the first round.
