PREVIEW
The tennis season is drawing to a close with the eyes of the top players firmly focused on the end of year championship, but there is still action across the globe and in the Kremlin Cup big serving Ivo Karlovic takes on Russian player Alex Bogomolov Jr in the second round.
Bogomolov may be 29-years-old but he has played sparsely at the top level and is yet to win a title in singles tennis. His opponent Karlovic is one of the biggest servers on the tour, previously holding the record for the fastest serve at 156mph, and the Croatian has been as high as 14th in the world.
The 33-year-old has also won four ATP events and is a former Wimbledon quarter-finalist but has slowly been in decline and is ranked 99th in the world, nine places below his rival today.
Karlovic heads the betting at around 1.62 on BETDAQ but that seems short for a player who laboured in the first round against journeyman Simone Bolelli and who was beaten in straight sets the only time he played Bogomolov before.
The younger player was far more impressive in seeing of former world number four Nickolay Davydenko in straightforward fashion and has to be the value at around 2.52 on BETDAQ.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Bogomolov at around 2.52 on BETDAQ: 3 points
Wednesday: -4.00 points
OCTOBER RETURN TO DATE: +15.50 points
