Judging by what we saw from Angola in the first too games, this margin is too low. The games against both Denmark and the Netherlands were fast and the stats of shots on goal and turnovers says a lot. Angola's attacks are very short, they don't move the ball around too much and everything happens quickly. Neither Denmark nor the Netherlands have found a solution for Angola's quick offense led by Kassoma, which will be able to score plenty of goals against Serbia. In addition to strong Kassoma and Venancio, Angole have a couple of players with the lower center of gravity that are able to make a quick move and get the bigger players out of their way. Serbia struggled against organized defenses, so it's logical Valdevit will try to make use of Angola's slow return into defense. Defense and transition are the weak spots of both teams and both will try to exploit that. This is a very important game in the battle for the fourth spot but the margin has no basis. Angola played a 64 and 67 games against Denmark and the Netherlands, Serbia saw 58 against Denmark and went under against Germany. However, we will probably not see such a game today and we can expect a similar rhythm as in previous games. Details

I admit I have no special basis for this bet, but since HB at least have some European experience, I think it would be wise to use these solid odds with a moderate stake. This will be the first international game for the champions of Gibraltar and the question is how they will react, and it's very possible to see them burn out from the desire to prove their worth. In addition, a fairly recent match between the national teams suggest that the Faeroe Islands play better football, and it's worth noting that Lincoln played their last game in late May while HB are in the middle of their season. Everything shows that the guests might make a huge step towards getting through tonight and if they play like they can, I think that will be the case. Details

Kyrgios is the biggest sensation of this tournament, no doubt about that. The young Australian has delighted everyone with his focus and mental fortitude. He eliminated Nadal who had previously dropped out of Wimbledon against Rosol and Darcis, so it's not a case of a shock defeat but a proof that passive approach is punished on grass. Kyrgios was the hunter and the attacker against Gasquet and Nadal but he's now facing a completely different story. The Canadian has lost his serve only once in four matches and it was against Nishikori, whose counter-attacking game doesn't suit him. He passed that barrier and he's been building his career step by step for the last two years. The Australian is a sensation and it's no accident he got into Top 100 as a 19-year-old but you can fight fire with fire. Raonic will not allow him to get into his rhythm, he won't give him too many chances on the return and he attacks shorter balls. He's at his peak and he's ready for a Grand Slam title as he's been showing the entire season. Kyrgios got the biggest win of his career yesterday and got into history books, but he's now facing a gunfight against Raonic, who's certainly aware of the chance he's been given. He has recently beaten the Australian on Roland Garros, he knows what to focus on and the Australian knows Raonic's serve will move him from left to right all the time. I personally went for 3-0 in set with a stronger stake, but this option certainly has a value, in case the Australian gets a set in one of his surges. Details

It's sure that Germany did better in the first two rounds but both teams got what they wanted - 4 points. The artistic impression means very little at the start and the real deal is now coming. The bookies are definitely under the influence of the first few games as the margin on the Netherlands ins too high. This team got the 6th spot at last year's EC and they missed out on the semifinals due to one defeat against Hungary by four goals. This Dutch team has beaten the Danes twice and that just shows their quality. They flopped two years ago at the WC but 10th place is not a bad result after all. The Germans weren't even there and they took the 10th spot last year at the EC. They can't be such favorites today. They won their games against Serbia and Argentina thanks to great transition after a successful defense but the Dutch won't give them so many chances. We can expect a huge battle on the pitch in which both teams will have an equal shot. The odds are truly too high and if the Germans win, I don't think it will be this convincingly. Details

When comparing what Goran Ivanišević brought into Marin's game, everyone mentions last two matches between Novak and Marin. Apart from good serve, he gave him aggressive approach. Čilić started both matches very offensively, borderline unreasonably but Ivanišević persuaded him that was the only way. Marin got the first break in both of those matches and Novak started off very conservatively. He's clear he has no need to outplay his opponent as he has the consistency, quality, and better overall options. One can expect Marin to go for all or nothing once again as he functions great as a starter. For comparison's sake, Murray has beaten Čilić in 9 out of 11 matches but Čilić took the first set 6 times and started the matches off better. That was the case in his last two matches against Đoković, which makes this a very good option. Details

I think Langer is very much underestimated here and these odds were defined by Zverev's win over Kamke yesterday. God knows what happened to Tobias in the second set. However, I cannot ignore the fact that Langer won a futures tournament before coming here and then stormed through the qualifiers and crushed Davydenko in the first round. On the other hand, this was Zverev's second challenger win in his career. and one should bear that in mind. In terms of quality, these two players are on a par at the moment. If this were first round, I think Langer would have been a marginal favorite. This way Zverev is the favorite, despite Nils playing the best tennis of his career. Zverev might have a better future ahead of him as one can expect him to get into Top 10 some day, but he's still 17 and has a lot more to do, as reflected in some defeats against players weaker than Langer.

I watched Petzschner in the first round and it got me thinking. I don't think the German remembers the last time he got so many breaks as this was completely opposite of what he usually plays. Break chances and turnarounds all over the place. We all know well what kind of a player the German is. Good serve, good aggressive performance, and trying to get to the net as soon as possible. This implies many close sets, very few breaks but that wasn't the case against Ignatik. Philipp can thank the Belarus player for the win as Ignatik had a tragic serve at certain points. I think Bellucci isn't much better than Ignatik in terms of tactics, but I think he's a much better player. Ignatik took Petzschner's serve 8 times and serve is his best asset, which means Bellucci will have plenty of chances. The Brazilian has a much trickier serve than Ignatik, plays a more aggressive game and is left-handed, which is always tricky. Bellucci did struggle in the first round but he still found a way to a calm win. He gains confidence as the tournament goes on. Petzschner relies on serve but it doesn't work too well on clay and he has a very negative score on clay at the challenger level. Bellucci is a better player as it is and when we factor in the surface, I see this is a smooth win for the Brazilian. Details
