He then followed it up by capturing the Washington Open months later, beating the likes of Ivo Karlovic and Alexander Zverev, who are both ranked inside the Top 25. Another highlight of his 2016 campaign is the US Open, where\u00a0he blazed through the rounds and reached the semis for the first time.<\/p>\n<h3>Nick Kyrgios\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/australian-open-men\" target=\"_blank\">+2,800<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>If you can look past all the\u00a0controversies, you&#8217;ll easily consider Kyrgios as a strong sleeper pick. He&#8217;s still number 14 overall, and like Monfils, he too had very respectable 2016. Along with capturing three titles, including the recently-concluded Japan Open last October, he also had wins over six top 10-ranked players. Among them are\u00a0Monfils, Milos Raonic, Stan Wawrinka, and Tomas Berdych.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, considering that as an Aussie, he&#8217;ll be playing in front of a home crowd, he may be extra motivated.<\/p>\n<h3>Stan Wawrinka\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/australian-open-men\" target=\"_blank\">+900<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0fourth-ranked tennis player\u00a0today has no shortage of hardwood collection, so much so that he has more Grand Slam trophies than\u00a0a handful of the current top-ranked players, including\u00a0Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. He also had a great run in 2016, as he was able to win four of the five tournament final appearances he reached, one of which was the US Open.<\/p>\n<p>Further, his other previous years &#8211; 2015 and 2014 &#8211; was highlighted by him capturing the\u00a0French Open and Australian Open, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>So, why is he considered a sleeper? Easy:\u00a0most tournaments are\u00a0usually about\u00a0Djokovic and Andy Murray (as it should). The two are higher-ranked and more popular than Wawrinka.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a really comfortable sleeper pick, this is your guy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and get in on all of the upcoming action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/28\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145127\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TENNIS-BANNERS-620x110.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"129453\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,268&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleeper Picks for the 2017 Men&#8217;s Australian Open When: January 16-29, 2017 Where:\u00a0Melbourne Park Surface: Outdoor Hard Lines:\u00a0view all 2017 Australian Open odds here Gael Monfils (+7,500) Monfils, who&#8217;s currently<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"129453\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,268&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":129535,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[393,69],"tags":[21647,21661,21658,21659,8293,2628,2627,1159,1500,2293],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
