Indianapolis, Indiana – The tennis wagering action you will find at BetUS.com.

Tennis Betting Line: Go Soeda +4½ -105 +300 Sam Querrey -4½ -135 -500

Match Time: 08:30 PM Eastern Time, Tuesday July 15, 2008

Tennis Analysis: American Sam Querrey enjoyed a great opening months of the season this year, namely picking up his maiden title in Las Vegas in March. However, since picking up his first career ATP crown Querrey faded somewhat in tournament play. After his breakthrough, his best run came at the Djokovic). In his last five tournaments, he crashed out of the opening round of four and managed to reach the second round of one only. Querrey is not a player with a whole lot of confidence. His price tag of -500 on the money line would appear to be an overly generous vote of confidence.

In his opening match, he faces Go Soeda of Japan – a player who ranks No. 126 in the world. Very little is known of the 24-year-old Japanese tennis player. He brings a 2-1 mark in ATP play. On the lower circuit however, he has won two hard court tournaments and one on carpet. Although he faced much lesser competition at those events, he clearly favours the surface. He should not be underestimated.

Considering Querrey is questionable in the confidence department betting on him would be a risk, even though he does have home court edge in this match. Soeda has had encouraging results on the lower circuit making him a bet worth the risk particularly as Querrey has been crashing out of tournaments in the early rounds of late.

Tennis Betting Line:

James Blake -5½ -110 -1000 Over 19½ -120

Dudi Sela +5½ -130 +500 Under 19½ -120

Match Time: 07:00 PM Eastern Time Tuesday July 15, 2008

Tennis Analysis: No.8 James Blake enters this tournament as the top seed. High expectations precede the American who has yet to pick up his first title of 2008. Twice Blake came close but lost in the finals. His two runner-up finishes came on American soil – Delray Beach (l. to Nishikori) and Houston (l. Granollers). Blake will hope to break the duck in this event. His opening challenge comes from Dudi Sela – a player he has never played before. Sela ranks No. 78 in the world and brings a 7-15 mark to Indianapolis, highlighted by a recent string of first round exits. On paper, this is a straightforward affair. The odds agree with the assessment.

Tennis Betting Line:

Woong-Sun Jun +3 -120 +170 Over 21½ -140

Chris Guccione -3 -120 -220 Under 21½ EV

Match Time: 04:30 PM Eastern Time Tuesday July 15, 2008

Tennis Analysis: No. 96 Chris Guccione enters the Indianapolis Tennis Championships with a 112-11 mark. The 23-year-old Australian ranks No. 93 in the world and posted some encouraging results early in 2008, namely reaching the final in Sydney. Recently his performance slipped and in the last six tournaments, he reached the second round of only one. Woong-Sun Jun of Korea ranks beyond the top 200. He had to qualify for this event. On the lower circuit, he had only one runner-up finish in Dresden (clay).
