I like it....doubt tsonga will be too interested with this tournament with wimbledon around the corner and coming off a tough loss to murray

[PickApprentice]

What? Is he playing again? The next day!

[reformed]

scheduled to play tomorrow at 10 am. I feel like he entered this tournament in case he went out early in the other one and cant possibly be considering playing 2 weeks straight before Wimbledon.

[beefcake]

Better get it now..Dropping like hell due to the fact that lots of folks think the same as reformed. Istomin is no stiff on grass either.

[reformed]

hopefully they wont move the match to wednesday to accomodate tsonga.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'll take 10 betpoints when Tsonga withdraws.

[reformed]

down to +280 at 5dimes and continuing to drop. EP you think tsonga wont play the match just to pick up the check?

[EaglesPhan36]

Nah, I don't think that's his style. If he's tired, he won't play at all. If he does play, he's playing because he knows he's going to beat Istomin. With this weak ass field, he could conceivably make a deep run if he chose to, but I don't think of Tsonga as a super fit guy who is going to grind through this week if he hopes to do anything @ Wimbledon. If he plays and wins, I'd fade him against Stepanek in the next round.

[reformed]

down to +255. money just pouring in . tsonga is still at -310 though so not worth a hedge yet

[benrama]

Line movement in tennis often means little, Tsonga has now gone back up to -330, and if you look at Tsongas history he doesn't throw games or lose to crappy opponents. He also has a 24-6 all time record on grass, 8-2 since 2010. Istomin is not a hack but he's no match for Tsonga, fatigued or otherwise.

[qukubau]

istomin down to +250. but i still like the play. i placed my bet in an 1 point bookie. (if tsonga retires i win)

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Line movement in tennis often means little......

Yup, it's very speculative. Closing lines are basically no more accurate than opening lines at pinnacle.

[pipo]

what about over? but i am afraid about Istomin. He was playing excellent tennis for a a few weeks last year on the grass. No bet for me...

[reformed]

ben I think in a match like this when its possible that a line is moving because someone is getting some "information" about the player's physical or mental shape, line movement can mean more than the average match. Lets be honest, for every person that is taking istomin just because tsonga just played a tournament there is someone else pouncing on tsonga at the short line.

[jayc88]

tsonga -4 looks very easy , should be a 6-2 6-3 kinda score

[reformed]

wow istomin is getting smokedddddddddddd

[reformed]

bad luck for denis losing 4 deuce games in a row to start

[suicidekings]

Anyone get the impression that Tsonga is just toying with Istoman? Playing lazy until he needs it on each point and then gearing up. Not expending any more energy than he needs to.

[suicidekings]

Nah, I don't think that's his style. If he's tired, he won't play at all. If he does play, he's playing because he knows he's going to beat Istomin.

One and done for Tsonga here.

[reformed]

if istomin takes the 2nd he takes the match. He has lost every game pretty much at deuce so the score doesnt reflect how close this match has been

[suicidekings]

Istomin is his own worst enemy today.

[reformed]

wtf is this retard istomin doing admitting a ball was in

[reformed]

I cannot believe istomin is not winning this match , he has played better

[suicidekings]

Too many unforced errors and a miserable second serve. Tsonga looks pretty gassed though.

[reformed]

how lucky can tsonga get?

[JNic]

wtf is this retard istomin doing admitting a ball was in
