no opinion. gl if you took him.

I like Magee also but just don't know of I can pull the trigger. Ginepri is so inconsistent and it just depends if he really wants to be there

McGee is a challenge to Ginepri even if he wants to be there. Ginepri was so bad last time at Napa.
was his first match in 5 weeks, but you would have had to see it to understand how bad it was.
looked like he threw the match. not saying that will happen today but there is no reason to believe
he is in better shape now. he has to prove it before you can take him. I doubt his skills generally.
I know McGee is ready to play this California tour. He is in fine condition and hungry. Watched him
vs Ymer, which he lost, but he looked strong physically and Ymer is a rising potential star class player
who took Querrey to 2 tiebreakers.
I have him with Harrison who I know is a player on the decrease. He looks chubby and isn't
taking care of himself, probably realizes his career will never be better than it was. I took him
because Kozlov is 16 and has lost a lot. But it appears Harrison has deteriorated so much he
may not even beat Kozlov. Soon I may have to add McGee alone at -115.

[Snowball]

McGee was originally -125 in this match but since the lines went closer to even
the late bettors are pouring on Ginepri, probably because he's the favorite now
Ginepri is -160 and McGee is +120.

add: McGee +120

i was just going to say that it dropped. Will ride it with ya.

ok let's get it. still nothing to go animal on. Harrison looking better. see his girlfriend, Christina McHale's
sister in the stands all alone. He smashed his racquet so bad it was twisted apart.

[HatersGonnaHate]

yeah i turned on the stream just as he was smashing the racquet earlier. He does look like he he gained weight. One site online had him at 160 and another at 181 so probably true.

[STAY STRONG]

American tennis at its finest.

no doubt. hoping for more tonight. but things like this must remember. Ryan Harrison
losing to this kid was sad, because the kid isn't even good. added McGee to one of the
parlays ( i often leave open spots) and alone as posted above. if ROBBY GINEPRI
can steal my $ again, he can have it. But he's going to have to take it.

+117 Cilic, Nadal, Waw, Nish, Raon, Serena, Halep
+339 Anderson, Sharapova, McGee
+101 Isner, Pennetta
+117 Kirilenko, Ivanovic
Dolgopolov -1.5 (-110) over Sock
Troicki -1.5 (-110) over Youznhy
Go Soeda +110 over Young
Lauren Davis -138
+136 Harrison, McGee
+150 Demoliner
McGee +120

[HatersGonnaHate]

its not just american tennis. a lot of challenger tennis is filled with cry babies and hot heads. I was just watching the sorenson/williams match and sorenson blasted a ball out the court and told the chair umpire that he deserved a violation for just sitting on his ass all day.

looks like he has his next gig already lined up..

[Snowball]

more embarrasing behavior by American tennis bums. McGee takes 1st set.
Ginepri obviously trying all he can, not throwing match at all, just slammed his
racquet 10 feet across the court and got violation. Babies.

[Snowball]

+117 Cilic, Nadal, Waw, Nish, Raon, Serena, Halep
+339 Anderson, Sharapova, McGee
+101 Isner, Pennetta
+117 Kirilenko, Ivanovic
Dolgopolov -1.5 (-110) over Sock
Troicki -1.5 (-110) over Youznhy
Go Soeda +110 over Young
Lauren Davis -138

McGee +120

[Snowball]

+100 Karlovic -1.5

add to parlays:
+180 Cilic, Nadal, Waw, Nish, Raon, Serena, Halep, Goffin, Querrey
(6 spots remaining)
+758 Anderson, Sharapova, McGee, Bouchard, Hlava/Peng
(no spots remaining)

p.s. this new format for my plays..
i will start to track them now but only in basic odds for example i will
add all wins and subtract all losses based on 1 unit.
+125 bet won is +125. if lost is -100.
+300 bet won is +300 if lost is -100.
-200 bet lost is -200 if won is +100.
i don't want to spend too much time on tracking
but i understand it has value.

[Snowball]

ugh. Wawrinka loses to Ito (rank 103).
these Asian tournaments.

early parlay: Belgium.
+165 Bemelmans, Coppejans, Goffin (leave 2 spots)

[Snowball]

Coppejans took second set 6-0 then lost third 1-6.
still can't get over Wawrinka.

Sandgren +165

[matt1216]

Coppejans took second set 6-0 then lost third 1-6.
still can't get over Wawrinka.

Sandgren +165

Dude, coppenjans has played only 2 hardcourt matches all year. Not sure why you took him there.

[matt1216]

Ito was also solid last night. Wawrinka was crap but Ito forced him to be make shots and he couldnt

[Snowball]

Epic battle but Sandgren succumbed to fatigue.

+485 (3 open spots)
Donaldson, Russell, Querrey, Falla, Nishikori, Murray, Sharapova

[fitguy67]

tennis is just a brutal game to beat...

looking over the rest of the day, seeing danger under every rock i consider turning over...

with this attitude: querrey over edmund/kvito over peng SEEM solid (just as wawa, bemelmans, and coppejans did)...fukk it, accept the variance and don't let it dissuade us away from future good plays...definition of value resides only in the long term with "days/plays like this" taken in stride

i know.. if just one thing escaped bad luck. Bouchard cost me a +758. Wawrinka a +180.
Coppejans and Sandgren excruciating matches. It wasn't the surface switch that hurt Coppejans.
it was his lack of maturity as a player. you don't go 6-0 then 1-6 due to surface problems.
tallied up the bets and arrive at -579 since keeping track. (odds-based) - see how this new
parlay fares.

[Snowball]

tally -679 (Falla was a bad bet)

+90 Berdych, Sijsling (4 spots open)
+99 Hingis/Pennetta, Kops-Jones/Spears (2 spots open)
+163 Wozniacki, Kerber -3 (3 spots open)
+62 Cilic, Sharapova, Murray (2 spots open)
+91 Davis +4.5
+160 Djokovic/Krajinovic

[Straguzzi]

Am following on ATP & WTA

Let's wake up to winning $$$.

Yeah!

[Snowball]

Woz went down in a viscious 11-9 tiebreaker to Stosur.
Davis was beaten easily. I suppose I was looking for a misstep by Cornet.
delay with the doubles.
here is an add and i may have more later as i truly like Smith over Kozlov today.
there are a cpl tempting light dogs but they dont pay enough to bother.

+388 Sijsling, Estrella-Burgos, Bagnis, Smith, Cilic, Murray (no open spots)

[Snowball]

Melzer +200

[STAY STRONG]

About to get Kozlov'd again.

[fitguy67]

comon' smith...now 3 break points...chance to force a decider...YESSS!...

estrella will need a 3rd and now Smith as well (another yesss! is called for...gotta count your blessings in this sport...), but Baggy won his first set by bagel so hopefully can get one sweat-free W out of the three

update: that cork-soaker smith

[STAY STRONG]

The dream is alive. Let's gooooo Smith.

[STAY STRONG]

Broken already in the 3rd. What a c0ck tease.

[STAY STRONG]

So he gets the break back and the proceeds to get broken again lol.

Breaks back again. This has turned into a WTA match.

[Snowball]

i know it was torture. The wind, the medical break Kozlov called, the bad calls by officials..
big parlay died with Smith. But I'm getting closer to turning around. Going against Kozlov
Friday. Melzer won +200.

review.. tally -579

+194 Sijsling, Berdych, Kerber, (3 spots)
+175 Hingis/Pennetta, Jones/Spears, Andreozzi, (1 spot)
+230 Cilic, Murray, Sharapova, Kvitova, Cabal/Farah
+160 Djokovic/Krajinovic

[Snowball]

strapping together wins but one loser in the parlay
has been appearing. each of the three above and yesterday
only had one loser in the parlay.
tally -879

+272 Darcis, Sijsling, Goffin, Lorenzi, Souza, Millman
+91 Fratangelo

[Snowball]

well i had a funny feeling about Sijsling, shouldn't have added him but thought
Melzer would be tired. Frantangelo won. tally -888. been doing well with Euro
hockey and basketball but don't know if i should include them here in tennis thread.
-125 Murray
-330 Sharapova
+140 Mlad/Pavly

SI Tennis @SI_TennisToday, 16:40 - No press conference for Serena Williams after three-set win. Released statement saying left knee is swollen, hopes it goes down overnight.

Stosur +5.5 worth a shot and +415 might also be worth a shot
