Tennis Thread: Week of April 14th

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-14-08, 11:10 AM

Gil wins 6-0, 6-3

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-14-08, 12:47 PM

One more perhaps for this afternoon to look at for your big upset of the day:

Harrison +385 ... playing in his home state & he has a couple matches in the bag on this court in qualifying. Taking on Pablo Cuevas, a very solid clay player, but someone whose form isn't quite as good as it was a couple months back.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-14-08, 02:27 PM

Gabashvilli wins 7-5, 7-5

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-14-08, 03:22 PM

Delic downed 6-3, 6-3

Went ahead and took Harrison for half a unit at +385

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-14-08, 04:28 PM

Harrison wins 6-4, 6-3

3-1 +2.92 units

Was looking at Massu also, gonna do some checking into the clay court stats of Querrey first. GL

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-16-08, 10:22 AM

MacHado loses

Rodionova wins

... Querrey does not have good clay court stats. His serve really is the only thing that I worry about. It can be dominant. But I think Massu's all-around game is better suited to the surface.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-16-08, 04:57 PM

**BuddyBear** · 04-18-08, 11:47 AM

Damn, where did you find Odesnik +120...great number there EaglesPhan! Personally, i was leaning toward Hernandez against Fish and definitely Calleri against Blake. No real strong opinion on the Granolles-Pujols/Daniel match-up though.

I like the Pirates this afternoon too. What about you?

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-18-08, 11:56 AM

Odesnik was up at that price before I went to sleep last night. Not sure about PIT, Snell does not have great results vs. the Cubs. I like the over better.

**BuddyBear** · 04-18-08, 12:05 PM

I played Odesnik, Calleri, and Granolles-Pujols. Going to pass on Hernandez. Fish is in real good form right now and a defending champion of this tournament. We'll see if my hunch is right.

I took a shot with Pitt...we'll see what happens. Maybe a 10-1 Pitt win will happen!

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-18-08, 03:04 PM

Odesnik wins

Sharapova sucks

Solid start to the week is ending with a resounding thud.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-18-08, 10:59 PM

Fish lost as well

1-3 -2.70 units

For the Week: 8-11 -2.33 units

6-4 start faded to 2-7 in the last two days. Eek.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-19-08, 03:17 PM

Saturday Play
O.Hernandez +280 [1 unit]
Blake in 3 sets +245 [1/2 unit] to hedge the potential loss
