Alexandrova needed three sets and a tiebreaker to beat 18-year old American Evlina Kalieva. Alexandrova fired 18 double faults and looked absolutely horrible – almost any other name in the tournament likely beats her. The turnaround here is a date with Simona Halep. This should be a breeze in Alexandrova’s current form “> Simona Halep (11.2k / 71.01) |
| Elina Svitolina (10.8k / 67.72) | |

Paul originally had Grigor Dimitrov in this draw, but with Djokovic withdrawing it moved Paul to face Lucky Loser Mikhail Kukushkin. These two met at the Australian Open, with Paul winning in an easy 3-0 set win. “> Tommy Paul (10.4k / 62.83) |

Bagnis pulled a big upset over Andy Murray early in January at Melbourne, but since then has not won a match on hard courts. Laaksonen hasn’t been that impressive this year either, but carries a large advantage here on hard courts. This isn’t my favorite matchup to target, but there aren’t a ton of players in this price range today. “> Henri Laaksonen (8.5k / 53.33) |

This isn’t a play so much of Koepfer as it is one against his opponent. Benoit Paire is 2-7 on the year and losses in his last five matches. Paire is also a hot head who lets his emotion control his game, so any quick lead here could spiral fast. Paire has talent, but currently it has not been on display. “> Dominik Koepfer (8.3k / 49.29) |

Otte is currently a +109 underdog but have seen him as a coinflip on some sites. Gasquet is priced $1,100 higher here, despite near even odds. “> Oscar Otte (6.6k / 41.96) |

Ugo Humber is just 1-10 in his last 11 matches and while he is ranked 42nd, this year hasn’t been too impressive. Rune is just 18 years old and already ranked inside the top 100. With two qualifing wins under his belt, I give the momentum edge to Rune here. “> Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune (6.5k / 37.05) |

Goffin is just 3-7 on the year and has lost his last four matches with only one total set win. Jordan Thompson is 4-5 and his season hasn’t been great, but it is surprising to see Goffin as such a large favorite here. Goffin has the elo edge on hard courts, but the current form and form all season hasn’t really been there. Thompson is one of the more talented names at this low of a price. “> Jordan Thompson (5.9k / 30.74) |
