One of our staff writers makes his pick clear - he's going with Harrison even as an underdog.

Ryan Harrison is priced at +225 (9/4) with BetFred to beat Sergiy Stakhovsky today in the second round of the 2010 US Open.  Those are good odds in this type of match as you really have to like Harrison playing in front of the partisan American crowd.

Stakhovsky is playing good and there should be no disrespecting him as he has a couple titles this season but he is a total Grand Slam underachiever.

The type of match that will likely take place today is one that is going to favor Harrison big time because he's a young American who is taking scalps at the US Open.  The partisan American crowd is totally going to back him and if the going gets tough, Stakhovksy could crumble as a result.

Take Harrison to win at +225 (9/4) with BetFred in this match for sure and remember he cashed in at about the same odds against Ljubicic.
