Got to look over a few more things, but Federer -7500 looks like good value.

Favorites so far today:

5-1 in STP with Arthurs +551 being the dog that won.

6-3 in Lyon with Greul +200 killing Gaudio (LOL @ line movement), Clement and Gasquet both in the +120 range.

7-1 in Basel with only Bastl +105 winning. What a dog price. LOL.

Greul wins 6-0, 6-2. Greul cost me a lot of money when he beat Srichaphan earlier this year in Miami. No one had heard of him until this win. He goes on to beat Hrbaty and Henman and takes a set off Roddick. Gaudio ruined an 8 match parlay for me at Wimbledon. I really would love to see these guys disappear.

Lyon 3-1-1 (Almagro +180. Giquel/Hrbaty pk'em)

What a chalk filled day so far. No dog will win in Basel, can't believe RRH just choked away the match like that against Lopez of all people.
