Lyon, France –Arnaud Clement kicks off his Lyon campaign on Tuesday against Paolo Oscar Hernandez.

Tennis Betting Line:

Oscar Hernandez +4½ -105 +225 21 O -135 U -105

Arnaud Clement -4½ -135 -350 21 O -135 U -105

Match Time: 4:30 PM Eastern Time Tuesday October 27, 2009

Tennis Betting Analysis: Frenchman Arnaud Clement receives a wild card into the tournament. He is 9-18 on the season ahead of Lyon and weighs in as the world No.119. The former top 20 player Clement (ranked as high as No.10 in 2001) is a seasoned veteran at 31-years-old but, for the most part, he has been struggling to keep up with the game. Last week, Clement finished in the quarters in Stockholm, losing to eventual champion Marcos Baghdatis.

Spaniard Oscar Hernandez, 31, arrives in Lyon a disappointing 15-25 on the season. The world No.73 has had minimal success this year and when he has had success, it has typically been at a clay court event.

Tennis Betting Verdict: Home edge makes Clement a good play but he is not worth the price point of -350 in my opinion. Tennis bettors would be better off taking the totals and spread odds. Clement to cover the spread at -4 ½ -135 and Over 21 -135 are the suggested plays.

Tennis Free Picks: Clement -350 | Clement -4 ½ -135 | Over 21 -135
