Tennis In-Game-Thread, 7/28 Cincinnati
Only R1 so don't expect a good turnout like the following we had going throughout most of Rogers Cup yet, but any plays for this afternoon or evening?

My streak continues. Nieminen is screwing me. He rallied from 6-4 down in 1st set tie break and had a chance to serve for the win. But promptly loss two points on serve. F-stain. Passed on Robredo for him. Robredo killed Fish. Took Querrey/Soderling for a parlay for this next batch.Comment -
That's rough. I took Fernando Gonzalez just now, starts at 2EST.Comment -
Looking at the Haas-Youzhny match as another possible play this afternoon. Good prices for both. Not sure who I like, maybe Yoozh? Donald Young upset special tonight over Monfils perhaps. But with my streak - those are sure losses.

Soderling with the bagel in set one, guy looks so strong right now, but it's against Julien Benneteau who Gonzo had just slapped around last week.Comment -
no word on C.moya CrazyL ? i guess he withdrew huh ............Comment -
Yeah he must have, there's no score line I can find at all and I read a tennis board talk about him walking like he was limping onto the court. Books and update sites usually take a little while in these cases for non major tennis tourneys.Originally posted by BeatTheJerkComment -
Soderling is looking strong, which is good since I took him at -330. Also put a pretty good chunk on querrey at even odds, he's a break down in the 2nd set, after winning the 1st set.Comment -
ok thank youComment -
Going to add Ginepri as well, maybe I'll throw in a Gonzo/Ginepri small parlay at +136Comment -
Typical of Querrey really, I didn't think there was any chance it wasn't going to a 3rd set, hope he wins it though.Originally posted by apk2k6Comment -
Well Querrey was just up 30-0 with Mathieu serving for the set and blows it. Going into a 3rd set. Sodering wins which is good.
The stats are favoring Querrey especially with the aces, just got a little behind at the beginning of the 2nd set and couldn't recover. He held his serve after that very strong.Comment -
Mathieu wins 2nd set 6-4.Comment -
Querrey's serve is looking very strong, I'm hoping he can take this set without stressing me too much
Comment -
I've got my money on a long-shot parlay of Youzhny and Berdych along with a couple of football matches.
Also got a parlay of Tanasugarn, Querrey, Soderling and Kudryatseva.Comment -
Afternoon Boys!!
Looking at:
- Ancic over Acasucko
- Safin over Tursunov
- Monfils over Young (love this one!!)
Any toughts?Comment -
Hey Crazyl, what do you think about Haas-140 and Safin -120?Comment -
I know this was for Crazy ... but I would go with Safin at -120Originally posted by PanicComment -
Yeah, I'm liking that one, Shark. But thought I'd ask Crazyl since he knows more about this stuff than I ever will.Comment -
I went 7 - 3 on the Rogers Cup ... giving Nadal as a winner before semis. Had a nice streakComment -
Well that makes another guy who knows more about this stuff than me.

PHM had 2 break points on Querrey, but he fought back and finally won the point. 3-2 Querrey leading in the 3rd set....let's go!Comment -

Tursunov vs Safin
Tursunov leads the series 1-0, but the last match is fairly irrelevant having transpired in 2004 on grass at that. Two turbulant players who are at times mentally unreliable, hardpressed to find the kinds of value which would warrant laying a big bet on, but I think anytime you can get a small +$ price here you might as well plop down a bet on it. This is anybody's match but I'd take my chances with Marat here, although I fully expect a 3 set match.Comment -
HOLLA!
MY 0-7 tennis streak is over. My Querrey/Soderling parlay hits.Comment -
Sam Querrey (USA) wins 64 46 63.
Fernando Gonzalez vs T. Berdych starting in about 10-15 minutes. I'll go ahead and track this as a play.
***Fernando Gonzalez +100, .50u risked to win .50u***Comment -
Querrey wins the match. 2-0 today.
I keep telling myself not to bet tennis but I always come back for more. GL shark and crazylComment -
Congrats APK and Eaglesphan! Stick around for the later matches too, some good ones this evening...
Monfils vs Young
Safin vs TursunovComment -
Nice Pick on GonzoOriginally posted by CrazyLComment -
Ya Monfils looks very good. Either going to lay on him pretty hard or stick to my MLB chaseComment -
Crazy, what bout my picks for the day?Comment -
I like them. The only one I think might come down to the wire or possibly go the other way, is Safin. I can easily see Super Mario and Monfils winning in straight sets. Monfils should have shook off his injury bug by now and get back to his earlier form. Donald Young is an OK player but he doesn't have the game to beat a player like Monfils right now.Originally posted by Shark79
I was looking at laying the chalk on Super Mario myself, but it's also very very early in the tournament, he should be extra inspired to rebound off that ugly Danevic loss. Acasuco burned me last tourney when I backed Gulbis, but he doesn't figure to stand much of a chance if Super Mario comes to play.Comment -
Watching womens tennis today has made me wonder why I ever bet itComment -
Let me guess... Bondarenko?Originally posted by Stacocakes
I am gonna be extra careful with the WTA this early, those bitches can't ever seem to hold serve even if they're up a few breaks.Comment -
Nah haven't made any bets yet but I am watching the shnyder match and its just brutal to watchComment
