Mayer hasn't played a tournament since Wimbledon, but even so I'm surprised to see him as a slight underdog. Turns out he started off as a marginal favourite and drifted out, having been matched for scraps as low as 1.79, but mostly at 1.9s before becoming the dog.
For me, Mayer is a more talented player than Cipolla and has been in better form this year. A record of 7-10 might not look too impressive, but Cipolla isn't really doing any better at 12-17 and Mayer's 10 losses include Ferrer, Nadal, Almagro, Monaco, and Bellucci on clay in Brazil. Not much to choose between them on H2H (the one time they've met was five years ago and featured a retirement by Mayer at 6-1 3-6) or hard court record at tour level.
Unless there's something I'm missing here, Mayer at above evens would seem to be good value.

Players being at the Olympics means that some slightly lower ranked players have higher seedings at tournaments this week than they usually would.
