Tough push yesterday, after our guy took the first set
Saturday:
4* Paradorn Srichaphan -165 over Mariano Zabaleta
Mariano can only win so many in a row, he has won last round vs the inexperienced Gilles Muller (didn't trust him), here he plays an experienced hard court player and no stranger to winning an event. I like Paradorn here, Zabaleta has a quality return of service game but Paradorn will bring it here. Last meeting goes in straights to Paradorn (last year) 7-6, 6-4. If on clay I wouldnt give Paradorn much of a chance, but it isn't. He's capable of beating anybody on this surface on a good day and his form this year hasn't been great, he's due for another good run. Paradorn was at the final of the Chennai Open earlier this year and lost to Carlos Moya in a very tight 3 setter. I see no disappointment here for the Thaiman.
If you have a parlay option throw in Taylor Dent and Nicolas Kiefer with it.
GL!
