Verkerk coming back from a long injury lay-off, but won a challenger event in Athens on clay on his comeback last month. Vanek has also just won a challenger in Ostrava, but his last tournament saw him lose to the world no. 183 Franco Ferreiro. Verkerk has the better clay court history, certainly, as a runner-up at Roland Garros in 2003, but he's been unlucky with injuries. His comeback seems to be starting off well though, and I think he's a decent price.

As for laying Errani 2-0, I've backed her quite a few times in recent months and I've noticed on quite a few occasions that her serve lets her down. Can't go back and find the stats now for past tournaments, but I seem to remember some matches recently where I think she's only held 3 or 4 times in the whole match. She's been in decent form of late, but I'm still not convinced she can win this one without making life awkward for herself somewhere along the way.

Good luck with your bets anyway
