Sjisling +182
slept on this one and missed out on about 20 cents of value....
Look at Sjisling on grass this year....playing quite well on the surface. Tough losses to Robredo and Tsonga, both who have shown dominance on this court. Sjisling was able to hang with both of these players on grass. Sjisling does not have the strongest of return games, but I don't see Raonic having an advantage in the return area. Raonic definitely does with his serve, but I feel Sjisling has a strong enough serve to compete with Milos. Once the rallys are underway, this is where Sjisling should dominate with his great touch at the net and a solid passing backhand shot. Raonic is 8-8 on grass, and he has had trouble winning matches as of late. Beating Berlocq is nothing special....whereas Sjisling has played some high level matches on grass this season. He should have a bit of a edge because of this. Books have to make Milos the favorite based on his rankings....Raonic new coach is quoted as saying "If Milos doesn't get many free points on his serve, it creates a tension you really don't want to have. And grass doesn't help because he's a big (six-foot-five) guy and he needs time to swing. That's why I think that on the (slower) clay, he will always play well, especially at Roland Garros."
Raonic himself agrees...""I don't think I've figured out what the solution is for my game on grass," Raonic said. "I'm still looking for the answer. In general, I like the higher bounce on hard courts."
I like Sjisling's chances in this match....
Sjisling +182 -- $180 to win $327.60
Sjisling -2.5 sets +896 -- $30 to win $260
Would love for Sjisling to come through in straights.... good luck!
