lol you guys are easily impressed.. solid work by Rafa but i wouldnt go as far as saying old nadal is back. if anything, this match showed us once again how one dimensional Raonic is, and how easily his game can be broken down..

nonetheless, congrats all Rafa backers

Elton. He's back. This is Nadal's worst slam over his career. Worst surface. Don't forget this. Nadal will easily win the french. And I wouldn't say it's far fetched that Nadal wins 2 majors this year. But Federer will win this major. I think Djokovic will get 1 at least. Nadal at least 1. And 1 is up for grabs.

**Cuse0323** · 01-25-17, 07:17 AM

We shall see. I think Stan wins anyway, so then we will never know.

If it's Nadal vs. Fed then I'll absolutely be rooting Fed. I don't think old Nadal is back, but old Fed is long gone so who cares.

I agree with a lot that you said, Goat. Nadal missed a lot of shots, and isn't getting enough depth consistently. I think that only helps him as he will get better against Grigor then be ready for Stan or Fed.

One player left on both sides under 30 and many over 34

NADAL BURIED EVERYONE

you got my Nadal pick and said it
was great analysis..

**rizespor** · 01-25-17, 06:06 PM

3/4 semifinalists on women's side 34 or older

Looks like Serena's to lose. Only coco can probably beat her

**jjgold** · 01-25-17, 08:32 PM

matches on too late now

Does anyone watch in USA??

**byronbb** · 01-25-17, 10:05 PM

**rizespor** · 01-25-17, 10:14 PM

Let's go coco

She has to beat both Williams to win the title

Want to take Lucic-Baroni ml too

**jjgold** · 01-25-17, 10:15 PM

Good luck
Small
Lean
Williams

**rizespor** · 01-25-17, 11:19 PM

1st set to coco

Venus was on fire early but looks like she's already lost steam

**rizespor** · 01-25-17, 11:58 PM

This girl the absolute worst at converting break points

**rizespor** · 01-25-17, 11:58 PM

3rd set here we go

**El Nino** · 01-26-17, 12:16 AM

Head case Coco finally showed up. Venus tried to give Coco the break back and Coco choked it away. Williams/Williams final...barf.

**DC SeanTaylor21** · 01-26-17, 12:24 AM

Does anyone think Lucic-Baroni will compete with Serena tonight? Views on the next match?

Wind seems to be affecting the ball toss. Maybe Lucic-Baroni snags a set of Serena really struggles with her serve...doubt it though. Serena in straights.

**QuantumLeap** · 01-26-17, 12:42 AM

Is it chilly at that match?

**rizespor** · 01-26-17, 12:49 AM

1/14 BP won, 50 UE

**Jeffie** · 01-26-17, 12:51 AM

How long before CoCo makes another semi in a major? Would bet she doesn't do it again this year.

She doesn't have the movement or stamina on clay. I think she can do it at Wimbledon. Her forehand with killer spin on the grass is effective.

**Cuse0323** · 01-26-17, 12:57 AM

Fed, or Stan? Who we got?

**Cuse0323** · 01-26-17, 12:58 AM

Venus is such a sweetheart. Wish her sister learned from her.

The line hasn't budged. But according to pinnacle only 62% of bets on Serena, since she's an 88% fav it suggests the money is on her.

It's crazy how different they are.

Hope so. My gut says Stan, but $900 says Fed. This may finally be my burial.

I only have Fed to win a unit, but I usually fire some live game/set bets during the match. Good luck to us, Cuser!

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-26-17, 02:09 AM

Good luck boys.

The line has moved so much on Fed (-180 now) that I don't know what to do. Clearly everyone is on Fed but the line has moved so far that all of the value is on Stan.

I stink last night as I was on Goffin and Raonic (yeah yeah, I know) but tonight has been awesome with max bets on Venus (+155) and then Serena (-6 games).

I am thinking of going small(ish) on Stan and +4 games.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-26-17, 02:10 AM

PS, good to see you guys again.

😀

**DC SeanTaylor21** · 01-26-17, 02:22 AM

I would go with what ever bet you feel more confident in vs value wise. Even if you make a smaller amount on one side or the other. A win is a win regardless if its $1 haha

**KVB** · 01-26-17, 02:30 AM

Here we go again. I bit on the +165.

Go get em Stan...

**KVB** · 01-26-17, 02:45 AM

Instead of the ESPN Body Issue pics of Stan, it's best I just post this...

Good Luck on your bets.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-26-17, 02:45 AM

I have two bets, Stan +4 and Stan +4.5 right now. I will be watching and may throw down a live bet or two.

Good luck all.
