Completely in line with historical data, just 76% of service games were held (around 4% below the ATP hard court mean), with around 0.2 fewer aces per game served compared to the average hard court. This contributed to the tiebreaks per match figure also being low, and as I mentioned previously, be wary of betting <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">tiebreaks </strong>in matches featuring big-servers in this tournament.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">However, that's not necessarily a consideration for today's round one action, and while there's the usual caveat that round one matches are usually pretty tricky to price, there's a couple of spots which look of interest or worthy of discussion.</span></p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Humbert could be threatened by Rune</strong></h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Falling into the latter bracket is Ugo Humbert versus Holger Rune, and the Frenchman, Humbert, has somehow managed to unlock a rare achievement - losing every match this year except beating <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Daniil Medvedev</strong>.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In fact, that win over Medvedev is Humbert's solitary win since the second week of August in Toronto, and that run of form is likely to contribute to his [1.9 ] line against the young Norwegian, Holger Rune.

This level is <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">below average</strong>, and markedly down on his best level from years gone by.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Furthermore, this level should give <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Oscar Otte</strong> a solid chance as a slight <b class="inline_odds" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="6/5"><span class="inline_odds__decimal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2.18</span></b> underdog, particularly given Gasquet has also had some knee problems. Otte has done well at the Challenger level last year, although hasn't impressed as much in his attempts to step up on the main tour this season so far, but I don't see him as as an underdog against the current version of Gasquet.</span></p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mannarino won't enjoy slower conditions</strong></h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Continuing the French theme, <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Adrian Mannarino</strong> faces an intriguing clash against the talented American, <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Brandon Nakashima</strong>. I think it's fair to say that Nakashima has disappointed a little this year so far, given how well he played in 2021 when he burst onto the scene, but I'm hoping he gets back to winning ways tonight.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">He's a slight favourite at [1.78 ] against Mannarino, and this line looks <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">generous</strong> to me. Mannarino has done pretty well this year but there's a lack of context to that argument - his best performances have come in quicker conditions, in which he thrives. However, Mannarino really struggles when court speed is slower - his record on clay is disastrous - and this should play into Nakashima's favour.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjulEZq5r9UqCpQLo6gQ0-uP9e5VYrBf--BwFOvXK0yTSL3UlL-1Y6lkk2H3O5qKjYidpIu_ji59o80I8faa0dLTn-OQULFWalwEAJfO9nYXc47RYeX_Nr7ZKugVKJzXtjZ4Rx5aAvOphDPaYBrzLnxoHj58Gxut1nXTN5LIDRm7BwzpD1-ZxrgohgQw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="728" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjulEZq5r9UqCpQLo6gQ0-uP9e5VYrBf--BwFOvXK0yTSL3UlL-1Y6lkk2H3O5qKjYidpIu_ji59o80I8faa0dLTn-OQULFWalwEAJfO9nYXc47RYeX_Nr7ZKugVKJzXtjZ4Rx5aAvOphDPaYBrzLnxoHj58Gxut1nXTN5LIDRm7BwzpD1-ZxrgohgQw=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>

The Biancocelesti have lost just two of their last 11 games in Serie A, and have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 13 of their last 15 league games, making them a seriously formidable opponent.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Meanwhile, Venezia are currently 18th in the table and are firmly in the relegation battle after winning just one of their last 14 league games.

They had endured a disastrous start to life without coach Robin Dutt, who had swapped the Black Forest for Bayer Leverkusen. Dutt's replacement Marcus Sorg floundered, and was dismissed. The club turned to his assistant, former Freiburg youth team coach <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Christian Streich.</strong> He didn't want the job initially, but was persuaded to take on the role and help the club.</span></p><blockquote style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0.75rem 1rem; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Over a decade later, Streich is still at the helm, and he continues to produce miracles. Freiburg are only two points adrift of a Champions League spot with just nine matchdays left, and last weekend they were moments away from an excellent win at RB Leipzig, only for Angelino to strike a late leveller. They have reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup, and have a winnable tie against second-tier side Hamburg. Streich has hit many heights as Freiburg boss, but this term could provide the greatest thrill of all.</span></blockquote><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">While Freiburg have been punching above their weight, Wolfsburg have been drastically underperforming this term, but the winter acquisitions of Danish forward Jonas Wind and former Freiburg star <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Max Kruse</strong> have given the side a much-needed lift. Last weekend's gritty 1-0 win over Union Berlin means Florian Kohfeldt's team has now collected ten points from the last five matches, and they are probably just a couple of wins from safety. With Lukas Nmecha back after a broken ankle, and Kruse and Wind looking sharp, Wolfsburg suddenly have plenty of firepower at their disposal.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">I fancy <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/football/market/1.195365220" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-bottom-color: rgb(255, 184, 12); border-bottom-style: solid; border-image: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">BTTS</a></strong> here at <b class="inline_odds" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="10/11"><span class="inline_odds__decimal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1.92</span></b>.
