          Kuznetsova and Jankovic won in straight sets, not surprisingly. Hantuchova and Razzano playing now.

My hope is that the uglier one has been spending her time on her game and not on her hair and nails (as mudcat said above). We've got a prime candidate today:

            GALINA VOSKOBOEVA -120


            V.
            SANIA MIRZA -110


            She may be listed as the favorite but she's a dog in my eyes, I'll take VOSKOBOEVA!
            The dog (as a slight fav) beat the babe (as a slight dog). I gotta stick with this handicapping strategy.

              voskoboeva was the easy pick
              sania mirza is more of a celebrity than a pro tennis player

                It's so easy to say stuff like this after the matches are over. Please post these kinds of opinions pre-match thanks.

                    Samantha Stosur +100


                    V.

                    Francesca Schiavone -130


                    Stosur gets the edge as the more homely player. This isn't a clear case of dog v. babe though so I'll tread very lightly.

                            May 27 card



                            Larcher de Brito

                            vs.



                            Zheng


                            I'll take Larcher de Brito. Excellent value. No idea what the books are thinking with this one. 10 units at +500.





                            =================



                            Amanmuradova

                            vs.



                            Govortsova


                            I'll lay the caulk... errr chalk here with Govortsova. Moderate play at -192. 5 units.




                            ==============



                            BACSINSZKY


                            vs.



                            Na Li

                            Upset special. Take Bacsinszky at +700. Risk 5 units.



                            ==============





                            Kudryavtseva

                            vs.



                            Benesova

                            Fugly. Excuse me while I go rinse my eyes out with lye.

                            no "SON OF A BITCH THAT HURTS!" play

                            same for Safarova vs. Venus Williams. I'd post pics but my eyes are in agony.

                              Agnes Szavay -125

                              Elena Vesnina +105


                              This is PRIME TIME dog v. babe material and I'm betting twice as much as I've bet on anything in this thread on Agnes Szavay. This is with no handicapping outside of my looks handicapping. This is as fun as it gets!

                                Maria Sharapova +120


                                This one's even better than the one above. I'm making a bigger bet on the BIG DOG (although she's a fav) Nadia Petrova! Again this with no handicapping outside of my looks handicapping.

                                  6-2, 6-0 domination by Szavay! I feel like LT Profits, I'm going for the Tennis dog sweep.

                                        This thread has all the angles of this important subject covered. Best thread about betting women's tennis based on looks that I have ever seen.

                                              I can't pass up a mismatch like this, I've got to ride with Groenefeld.
                                              Are you sure that's Dulko? That's a shocking photo if it is, she is stunning! Also going out with Fernando Gonzalez.


                                              Loving the pics btw, ones you often don't see on their profiles. Couldn't care less about the hit and miss selection process though

                                                      Lino is the obvious pick and I'm gonna try to make up for fading her when I started this thread. My record with this strategy is 3-2 so if this bet loses I'll stop using this strategy for this tourney.

                                                      Lino is a do or die pick for me. I'm taking the dog as a dog. Should be exciting!

                                                          Dementieva vs. Dokic

                                                          I just got off the phone with CrazyLou. I had no idea why he was calling me in the middle of the night, but he said he saw I was doing my daily picks and wanted to inform me that this is his big prick, I mean pick, of the day. "Lay the chalk with Dementieva."

                                                          OK, Lou. It's -435. Risk 4.35 units to win 1 back. I'll take his word for it.

                                                            Who would you pick between these two yisman based on looks?

                                                            I'm taking Groth based on her recent record v. Marino's recent record. This is not a looks-based play for me but an actual skill-based play.
