    SK's US Open 2014 Picks Thread

    Took most of the summer off, but the US Open is my second favourite tourney of the year after the Aussie Open. In this thread, plays are $50/unit and will mostly be 1-2u plays to start. Results from previous tournaments in the link at the bottom.

    Good luck to everyone!

    YTD Results: 64-58-3 (+57.67u) link: YTD results

    Paying attention, but not really watching many matches as I'm usually at work while they're being played. So I'll be playing light to start.

    Hey I read at TennisExplorer that Nishi's health condition is possibly horrible... I wouldn't take him to win 3-0 but good luck!

    Possibly not a smart move. I think a retirement is more likely than a completed match if his toe is hurting him too much though, so I'm just going to roll with it.

    Nice hit with Bencic SK!

    This is one of the only threads I consistently check every day - you certainly know tennis and pick your spots accordingly. Making fewer spot picks is the mark of a true sharp who really knows what they're doing. Thanks for the picks/insight you bring to this forum buddy!

    Anything else stand out for you today? Trying to find something to parlay with Johnson (was thinking Sousa or possibly Kavcic).

    Thank you

    I was at work today, so I missed out on the rest of the day. My leans went a little under .500 so it's all for the best. Just one more today.

    Thank God I chose the spread instead of ML and got a push with Johnson - had him in a few parlays that all ended up winning! Stupid 5Dimes doesn't offer set and live wagering until the later rounds of the tourneys - if I like the play I always have to make a decision between the total or spread. Ended up taking the Under in the Wawrinka match, so hopefully Wawa will continue to dominate and not allow any close sets! Got screwed last night on the Under by Federer struggling more than I expected against Mato's serve.

    Great job today friend, certainly looking forward to tomorrow's plays!

    Stan pretty obviously took his foot off the gas there to get a little time playing from behind. More challenge to put him in better shape moving forward. Not the first time top players have done it, and it won't be the last. All in all, he's looked really good so far here.
