Surprise?

VDZ as the underdog against a big player, we know how that goes, right?

Well, anyway, it’s kind of that or nothing, I’d say. Because Tommy Paul does pretty much everything a bit better than VDZ on grass. So I think he deserves his odds, but I don’t see them as value, since we’re on grass, the margins are often small, and because VDZ just escaped by a miracle in the second set against a local player in the first round. So the Dutchman is going to play completely relaxed, and we know what that can sometimes lead to: an excellent level. When he doesn’t have to think, he’s really good, that idiot.
