Willie Hill offering super odds on this outcome. I see Vesely having real chances against rusty US-Open Champ. It is known that clay is Marin's worst surface and the results this year can prove that if it is still necessary. Marin played Monte Carlo (won against long-term absent Flo Mayer 2-1 and against out-of-shape Tsonga, to lose clearly to Djokovic) and Barcelona (where he lost in 2 sets to Estrella). Vesely is 6 wins and 7 losses this season on clay, but the recent form shines well enough. The 36th in the world reached a SF in Casablanca in April, lost to Monaco in 1st round of MOnte Carlo and reached in Bucharest the final (after getting past Schwartzman, Jaziri, Karlovic and Gimeno- lost eventually to Garcia Lopez 7-6 7-6). I rate Vesely to have some chances, as Marin hasn't got past his back injury and didn't amazed me at all in his past performances. Jiri is a nice value-bet today.
