Loser's Only: 2016 U.S. Clay Season thread.

[Breadloser]

We've got a little green, a little red. Don't blink.

Starting with 20 units. Hopefully we can make 20 more.

4.4

Tommy Paul is coming off 2 sweeping ITF Clay wins where he he lost only 1 set in 2 whole weeks. The fact that he wasn't challenged in more sets should indicate he was up against inferior competition.

Play # 1. ATP Houston Country Club 250 Trophy Open.

I'll take Lorenzi -150 over Paul to win 5 units.

[jjgold]

I guess it all starts tomorrow

some great tourneys in Europe coming up

[Breadloser]

[frankyyv24]

Just wondering if you have any insight on Donksoy?

[Breadloser]

His game seems to be trending back towards where he was a few years ago. To me, that's where he belongs. Busta hasn't played in a couple of weeks and he might show some rust. Donskoy leads the h2h, 2 to 1.

[Breadloser]

3-1 +11.5 units.

Leans for tomorrow: Becker, Chung, Bolleli.

[Breadloser]

3-2 +9.5 units

4.6

Play # 6

4 units on Becker +240

[Breadloser]

Play # 7

4 units on Vesnina +108

[Jayvegas420]

Nice start!

[Breadloser]

Becker would move faster in a wheelchair. Guy fvcking sucks.

[jjgold]

lets get some winners tomorrow guy

[Breadloser]

Split on the 2 afternoon plays.

Today,

2 units on the Over 22.5 (+115)
in Busta vs. Istomin, R3 at ATP Falafel.

2 units on Verdasco -2.5 (-117) at ATP Houston.

2 units on Putinseva +210 at WTA Volvo Cup.

I may add more to Verdasco.

Leans: Stosur, Gavrilova, Lacko.

[frankyyv24]

Like your Verdasco pick! Wondering why you're leaning towards Lacko? I see a big advantage for Lopez, insight always appreciated!

[Breadloser]

Lopez transitioning to clay. Lacko with shot to pick up actual ATP points, in case he doesn't want to play challengers for the rest of the year. Maybe the spread, idk.

[Breadloser]

Lost fading Busta again, who apparently can go years without making an unforced error. Gonna be hard to back Vesely against him, need to get the right price.

[Breadloser]

Also, in regards to Lacko. If he gets by Lopez, he'll face an opponent he's familiar with in Smyczek or Young. This is an actual opportunity for him to climb.

[Breadloser]

I'm thinking I might stalk this girl Chirico during the US Open

[frugalgambler]

Send her this thread. I am sure she'll be impressed with your av pic.

[Breadloser]

I'm going to present her with a used Sopranos Season 2 dvd.

[frugalgambler]

Sounds like a plan !

2 units on Putinseva +210 at WTA Volvo Cup.

Nice one, when are they going to stop overvaluing a 35 year old Venus Williams...

[Breadloser]

Putinseva saved my night. Venus is really only semi dangerous on the grass at Wimbledon.
