Plenty of good bets pinging around on Sunday, so without further ado....
Laslo Djerre looks ready to burn brightly against the fading star that is Albert Ramos. The Spaniard has been a fantastic stalwart on clay for so many years, but he looks to be nearing the end now and is the wrong side of 30. His career 444-268 clay record is terrific, but he has not been beyond the 2nd round on the dirt since February (9 tournaments) and it was February 2018 that he last reached a final - beating a host of weak opponents to get there.

Djerre is now 226-103 on clay and all his most recent numbers make him a solid favourite in this one - Ramos really does look to be gone at the highest level.
3.3pts Djerre to beat Ramos at 8/11 (General)
Leonardo Mayer has started to attract money, and looks the winner all the way when he faces Jiri Vesely. The pair have met six times before, with Mayer winning five of those - Vesely's last victory was in 2014.
Both players prefer clay for their competitive action, but the Czech player is coming up short right now. He's made just a single semi-final in the last two seasons, which was in a challenger event.
The same is true for Mayer in terms of a single semi-final, but it was in the German Tennis Championships on the main tour, and he's also reached the quarter-finals in Sao Paulo in both 2018 and 2019, and also the quarters in Buenos Aires.
Over the past 52 weeks, against top 100 players on clay, Vesely has won 65.6% of service points and 33.4% of receiving points - a combined total of 100.0%. The same totals for Mayer are 65% of service points and 36.2% of receiving points - a combined total of 101.7%.
