Munich, Germany – With the BMW Open in full swing, some of the first round matchups have played out to varying results. Most notably, defending champion Oliver Rochus’s campaign came to an abrupt end in a 6-2, 6-4 loss to eighth seed No. 29 Jurgen Melzer.

On the other hand, Marcos Baghdatis, Mikhail Youznhy and Philipp Kohlschreiber advanced into the second round.

With top seeds Tomas Haas and Tomas Berdych still to play their first-round matches on Tuesday May 1st, here are some free tennis picks for the BetUS.com sportsbook.

Tennis Prediction: In his native Germany, Tommy Haas will be ready to impress. As the number one seed and favorite for the title this year, look for Haas to make easy work of Sebastien Grosjean.

Tennis Free Picks: Tommy Haas in straight sets.

Tennis Prediction: On his favorite surface - clay, Tomas Berdych is a tough opponent. In the first round of the BMW Open the second seed is favored to make a run deep into the tournament, perhaps even into the final round. At this stage of the tournament, Berdych is the better bet.

Tennis Prediction: Tied at three apiece in head-to-heads, fourth seed and No.21 Jarkko Nieminen and No. 139 Rainer Schuettler are rather evenly matched. Schuettler, a German, may have the slightest advantage in home turf, and with crowd support, could possible be moved to orchestrate the upset.
