Thanks
Surprised no one has tried to talk me out of it. Maybe it is the right side afterall? Just hope he doesn't choke like he did against F. Gonzo at French Open.
That's hillarious .. I have never ever bet on tennis before and the only bet i've made was Wawrinka for tomorrow......Crazy stuff
I see this as a sign.

Not sure how many of your added plays will hit but I like the way you are thinking here. Players like Verdasco and Fernando Gonzalez should never be backed as a heavy favorite. In fact, besides the big 3, there aren't many players out there that I would want to back heavy pre-match. Tennis is to unpredictable.Just need to hit 2 of those 5 dogs and you are good to go

Okay I took a small Del Potro bet because he is on a good grass-court run so far, and grass isn't Wawrinka's favorite surface. This is definitely going to be a tough match, a close 4 or 5 setter no doubt. Wawrinka could win just based on skill alone, but I've seen enough of Del Potro lately to be convinced to back him (albeit a smaller bet)
Same goes with the other artifically high ranked players (let's just say I don't like clay) like Almagro and Ferrer. You know they are good players and will beat lesser players, it's just a matter of who they get matched up with. It doesn't have to be a big name, just someone familiar with grass like Karlovic and Kohlscriber (both are out now btw) and so far Almagro and Ferrer have gotten lucky with their 1st/2nd round opponents.
Andreev and Del Potro are very tough. It just depends on how Ferrer and Wawrinka feel, cause they have the talent to get them through the first rounds on any surface.
I'll share my picks too I guess:
Reynolds +225, Del Potro +138, Gonzalez -6 over Bolelli (isn't as good as Ginepri and barely beat Bogdanovic), mid-level Ferrer/Seppi/Ferrero parlay, and waiting on Dementieva to hit a 10 person (lot of big favorites though) parlay.
