    Master Series Madrid

    Mr. Federer returns to Madrid after 3 years. Roger should have no problem getting to the finals. Nadal has Fish, Haas, Berydch (who beat him earlier this year), Roddick and Ljubicic in his half of the draw even before he earns the right to play Fed.

    Quarter Picks:

    1. Federer
    2. Robredo
    3. Ferrer
    4. Blake
    5. Davydenko
    6. Ljubicic
    7. Roddick
    8. Nadal

    Semi Picks:

    1. Federer
    2. Blake
    3. Ljubicic
    4. Nadal

    Finals: Federer vs. Ljubicic

    I'm having good fun at the moment, with bet 3.65's live betting on tonight's games. Taking next game's receiving player to win at odds of about +350 to +400 from time to time. Currently 3-3.

    Did you guys see the major line movement in that Henman/ Verdasco match. That line moved from Henman -130 to Verdasco -124. That was just nuts!

    Yeah, they make a lot of crazy line changes like that in tennis, baseball also.

    I wish more sportsbooks offered live betting on tennis. As an American Citizen, I don't think it would be wise to wager with any UK books.

    What other books offer live betting on tennis on a regular basis that is not based in the UK?

    None Tchocky. Only Pinnacle on grand slam finals, pretty weak options for Americans.

    I like Nadal to win this tourney from what I saw from the Federer's match with Count Massu and how the court speed is playing.

    I hate these bigger tourny's. I can't wait til this one is over, and we get back to the smaller ones. Those tournys have unbelievable value

    Let's see how Nadal fares against Fish with his slightly injured ankle. Fish isn't in the best of shape either struggling through qualies. Safin-Baghdatis to cap off the session.

    Johansson has only won 1 or 2 points off of Davydenko's serve out of the last 30 points or so. Talk about prolonging the inevitable.

    Nadal cruises 6-4 6-2

    It's amazing how poorly the Spaniards are doing. Nadal is the one left. Last week in Moscow, you had 4 Russians in the finals of the Kremlin Cup. Berdych looked really good against Roddick...wouldn't be surprised at all to see him take out Nadal in the semis.

    Well, Moya has never played well here and hates the conditions, so much so he basically blamed them for his past failures here. Verdasco, Ferrer, and Robredo all were not in good form at all here to begin with.

    I want to see Nadal/Federer with a nice juicy line on Rafa myself

    Official scores are down, for those who aren't getting this on TV, you can track the scores here:

    Federer escapes 7-6, 7-6, winning the last two points of the match on challenge calls on the same line, basically the same spots, both were called in, and both were out. What a match. Soderling's been playing at a terrific level the past few weeks, nothing to be ashamed of with this effort on court today.

    Talk about waking up to a nice surprise. After Nole got broken at 3-3 and Murray was up 6-1 4-3 and serving, I turned off the TV and went to take a nap. Wake up, turn on the TV, and see Nole serving for the match and he finishes off Murray with a nice comeback

    Gonzalez storms back from 2-5 in the 3rd set to win 7-5, 5-7, 7-5. I've really grown to love this tournament the last few days

    Semi-finals:

    Federer vs Nalbandian
    Berdych vs Gonzalez
