Mate Delic started 2015 in poor fashion, but to be honest I don't think that 3.33 is a fair price on him. Pinnacle got this wrong in my opinion. He defeated Basilashvili in AO2015 Q-round and lost to Buchanan, in Zagreb he lost to Dodig in straight, in Bergamo to Petzschner in 3 sets, in Wroclaw to kapas and in Irving to Schretter (a huge upset). He won 9 games in 3 sets against Djokovic and 7 games against Troicki (both in Davis Cup).
here in Miami Q-round he defeated Luca Vanni in straight sets (7-6s) and saved several set points during the second set. He is a fight and I think he'll push his opponent a little bit more than the prices show us.
Damir Dzumhur is better ranked , but lost the only 2 direct matches against today's Delic. He lost in Futures in 2013 and in Challenger in 2014, both on clay. Damir won a challenger event in Santo Domingo and fot into a final in Morelos and has his biggest victory of 2015 against Berrer in Zagreb in 3 sets. Dzumhur won against Nishioka here in straight sets.
I think that there is some value involved and am happy to take this on a medium stakes.
