Barcelona, Spain – In the bottom half of the Open Seat Barcelona, Guillermo Canas, Tommy Robredo, Nikolay Davydenko and Jarrko Nieminen are the likely contenders for the spot in the final round at the Open Seat 2007 in Barcelona.

Therefore, with the bottom half of the draw set to play out on Thursday, April 25th, here are some picks for the odds that are already live with BetUS.com Sportsbook.

Tennis Prediction: Spaniard and Barcelona resident Tommy Robredo has had a great start to the 2007 season, climbing the ATP ranks to No. 5. Playing this week on his home turf, Robredo has the advantage of crowd support. As such, he is a good bet in most of his matches.

Against Argentinean No. 34 Agustin Calleri, Tommy Robredo leads 3-2 in head-to-heads. While this matchup is perhaps the most evenly matched pair of the third round, the crowd should carry Robredo through to the quarterfinals.

Tennis Free Picks: Robredo in straight sets.

Tennis Prediction: Another Barcelona native, No. 99 Oscar Hernandez faces No. 20 Jarkko Nieminen for the first time. Considering the higher ranked Nieminen has had a slow start to the 2007 season, the odds for Hernandez, spurred on by a crowd filled with supporters, to orchestrate the upset are great.

Pablo Andujar +1000 vs. Guillermo Canas -3000

Tennis Prediction: As one of the hottest players on the tour, by virtue of his two consecutive victories over No. 1 Roger Federer, Guillermo Canas carries the burden of high expectations. At this stage of the tournament, Canas should not disappoint.

Nikolay Davydenko -175 vs. Filippo Volandri +135

Tennis Prediction: No. 4 Nikolay Davydenko has not looked his best this season. Normally an unassuming favorite at every tournament, Davydenko has been crashing out of tournaments against unlikely opponents as of late – a sign of wavering confidence?

Against No. 55 Filippo Volandri, Davydenko is tied at two in head-to-heads. With no clear advantage and inconsistent play on Davydenko’s part, Volandri may bank on his underdog status and pull off the victory.
