Call me crazy, but I took my chances with Murray at +450 for 2 units.

Been looking at past Murray Djokovic matches, and the common thing is Murray really struggles in the first set, often getting whipped. Check it out:

Featuring tennis live scores, results, stats, rankings, ATP player and tournament information, news, video highlights & more from men's professional tennis on the ATP Tour.

To that end, I've gone for Djokovic to win it 6-1 ($100 @ +1700) and 6-2 ($150 @ +700), ie a double break. Both were bonus bets I needed to use up anyway, so no great loss if not.

Nice Picks

Staying away from that game Crazy .

But Im taking Kiefer again tomorrow

Good luck!

I'm Scottish, so if Murray wins I'll be delighted too :-) If not, just two bonus bets so no real loss. Can kick back with a beer and it's great either way.

break murray

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 06:23 PM

DJO -285 now

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-25-08, 06:23 PM

Looks like my bet's gone - if Djoko had taken that breakpoint in the opnere it would have looked really good, chances are Murray would crumble like in previous matches.

Djokovic not playing well, quite a few errors and a double fault there.

SBR Lou · 07-25-08, 06:42 PM

Anyone else fancying Gasquet? Stacco?

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 06:43 PM

nah not betting gasquet.Will see
Have Murray right now at +250. Hoping he serves out the set then I am going to offset it to guarantee a profit. HOPING he serves out the set

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 06:48 PM

Might just offset my bet and make some money on either player. Glad murray held on for the set

His bro shaved it all off at Wimbledon, looks like a right prick

EaglesPhan36 · 07-25-08, 06:50 PM

Did the public pound Murray at the last minute? I had seen up to +400 with 20 minutes before start time. If Murray wins, no way in hell I can bet Gasquet. I don't see Nadal & Djoko losing - although with this tourny, that might be the right bet!

Shark79 · 07-25-08, 06:50 PM

Djoko will take next 2 sets

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-25-08, 06:54 PM

I bet on Gasquet to win 2-1, $100 at +900.

Just extracted myself from the betfair market on Toronto winner, was on Djokovic before that but I think he's going to lose here now.

woodg8 · 07-25-08, 06:54 PM

Murray

Djokovic looks about as good as Blake did. I think he's done.

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 06:55 PM

Didn't want to take my chances so I greened up at break point
Of course murray takes the bp and I could have won a pile more. ****

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 06:55 PM

murray -120 now haha set and break up

Shark79 · 07-25-08, 06:56 PM

If Murray does def Djoko .... Gasquet will take out Nadal ...

woodg8 · 07-25-08, 06:57 PM

That top spin was just crazy by djok

And so was the point after

This is a game and a half, none of that Cilic Simon rubbish

EaglesPhan36 · 07-25-08, 07:02 PM

Man there are honeys deluxe in the crowd. ESPN2 with phenomenal crowd shots.

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-25-08, 07:07 PM

Went on Murray at +200 after Djoko equalised there. He's extremely hard to beat when he's serving well (ask Federer, Murray's beaten him twice in a row), where Djokovic is just making a few mistakes.

woodg8 · 07-25-08, 07:10 PM

Murray's gone off the pace, he's not playing like he was doing in the first, attacking shots, hes merely putting it back into play. Djok will take advantage of it.

I got on Murray when he was a set and break up at +100, seemed worth a shot, although he's +200 now

woodg8 · 07-25-08, 07:12 PM

As soon as I say that, he breaks

Stacocakes · 07-25-08, 07:13 PM

boom break murray
-200 now

EaglesPhan36 · 07-25-08, 07:14 PM

Very reminiscent of the Blake-Kiefer match. The fave can't find his game. The dog seems to do most things right. Gasquet. Gasquet. I might take him if for nothing more than to right the world and ensure a Nadal win with my stellar 0-3 day going in tennis.

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-25-08, 07:15 PM

Hehe, yeah. +200 to -200 in a minute.

Murray in previous Djokovic matches has always looked totally cowed and just given up, but here he's got his game on. Make no mistake, Murray is a slam level competitor, he's just wildly inconsistent. However, if an opponent comes up against him when he's serving well, he's going to beat nearly anyone.
