LAKER_CRAZY'S TENNIS PLAY NUMBER 3 FOR TODAY


3) Nicolas Almagro Vs Jurgen Melzer ( Pick Nicolas Almagro - 2.5 @ -125) : ( I unit Play)

I was Going through this match up rather carefully right now and given that Melzer is ranked Number 9 in the world as compared to Almagro who is at 12 right now,The books are making almagro a clear favorite in this match up and i second that.Both Almagro & Melzer are coming off 3 set wins in their previous rounds,though it must be added that almagro had to grind it out in 3 tough sets against Gonzalez before prevailing 7-6 in the decider.I would say that even though almagro did not look his best against Gonzalez,there are no two opinions on the fact that he does relish playing on clay.

The Head to Head meetings between these two are split at 1-1.Melzer won on in straight sets on hard court in 2010 ( ATP Vienna) whereas Almagro Demolished him ( 6-3,6-1) on Clay in Madrid ( 2010).I think Almagro is better suited to this surface and even though melzer might put up a fight,i see good value in almagro covering this handicap with ease.Good luck

Cheers,

LC

Thanks Mate,I did not look into that game much,but yes robredo retiring would have had a 50-50 effect on the punters,for/against.Good luck

[NOREGRETS]

My first tennis play, hope it hits! Thanks LC

[NOREGRETS]

Only thing I could grab was a straight bet at -190. I am usually not a big favorite guy, but let's do this!

[reformed]

lets hope he doesnt pull a "robredo"

[koscheckbaby]

Tailing. Melzer looks go so far. Hopefully his form falls off.

[koscheckbaby]

The ugly Spaniard is looking like shit, while Melzer is running him all over the court. ****. Might be your first loser

[reformed]

the match is on almagro's racquet, he is just being too aggressive

[NOREGRETS]

Don't know much about Tennis but on Yahoo Sports, it is showing Almagro up 0-1 in first set, is this wrong?

[koscheckbaby]

Ugly ******* spaniard broken again. This match is gonna be over in minutes. Melzer is playing competently, while Almagro sprays the errors all over like a WTA player.

[NOREGRETS]

$hit, nevermind, see it at 4-1. Not good. Need this win. A lot left.

[tevari]

i have him in the last leg of a 5 teamer. he got his shit pushed in in the first set

[reformed]

wow, I didnt think you could lose a set that fast on clay.

[koscheckbaby]

$hit, nevermind, see it at 4-1. Not good. Need this win. A lot left.

He's not winning. He's playing like he wants to go home ASAP. Just broken again for 6-1. There's no way he wins this match, let alone covers the handicap. Stupid Spaniard piece of shit.

[reformed]

1 winner 16 unforced error

[koscheckbaby]

wow, I didnt think you could lose a set that fast on clay.

When you're off, you lose sets faster on clay than hard. At least on hard, you can get more cheap serve points.

[koscheckbaby]

Spanish dick has a nice opening for 40-0 to break early and smashes a ball into the net

[reformed]

if almagro would not go for another winner the rest of the match, he will win

[koscheckbaby]

STOP PUMPING YOUR ******* FIST, MELZER. I hate it when these assholes are celebrating costing us money

[koscheckbaby]

Almagro is overmatched today. Melzer is hitting shots when he needs to. Couldn't even ******* break when he got like 3 lucky points in that game.

[reformed]

its not like melzer has much confidence the way this year has gone...if almagro can get up melzer might fold

[koscheckbaby]

This dick Melzer's forehand is too good for Almagro to win some rallies and get back into this.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Almagro terrible first set, perhaps stiff body after a 3 hour match yesterday. Turning now though perhaps.

[koscheckbaby]

Almagro with the break. Much more competitive 2nd set with less WTA play. Let's see if he holds it. I expect him to get broken now with the way things are going

[reformed]

it took getting embarassed like a little boy to start playing smart and solid instead of like a wild monkey

[koscheckbaby]

Typical, 2 straight UE on serve for Nicole Almagro

[koscheckbaby]

Did you see that attempted dropshot on 30-30? Such ugly tennis. Made some big serves though to hold

[Mike Lonsdale]

Keeps the lead. Hope it lasts till the end

[reformed]

regardless of who wins here, nadal/federer/ferrer/murray parlay seems safe for tomorrow

[koscheckbaby]

STOP PUMPING YOUR ******* FIST, Melzer!!! Is there anyway to get at these players? I get violent watching them
