EP, what do you think about cilic and youzhny tomorrow?Comment -
As outright winners? Both look pretty solid I would think. de Schepper would scare me more than Pospisil. If he can bomb away on-serve, anything can happen with Cilic. Still think it would take a nearly perfect serving day from de Schepper and a C grade effort from Cilic for him to lose, but that recipe happens from time to time.Comment -
I doubt you read my spam-thread so I'll just ask here instead, as you appear more knowledgable than me:
Why are most of the people who played Tuesday duking it out on Wednesday!? I thought tournaments alternated between top and bottom halves day by day until they actually meet.Comment -

Do you think Gulbis could upset Tsonga tomorrow? And do you like Mahut over Robredo?Comment -
Anything is possible, but I think grass is the worst surface still for Gulbis, so it will take help from Tsonga for him to win. Not sure about Mahut. As good as he shows on grass in the smaller tournaments, Wimbledon has never been that great for him. I have a feeling Robredo is going to push him even if Robredo is nothing special on the surface himself.Comment -

Finally one of these doggies comes home. Adios Woz! Verdasco takes care of business. Have to see Fernando has been playing some pretty good tennis lately.Comment -
Testing out totals today too.
ATP: Murray-Lu Under 29 [-135]
Comment -
Looks like this total is gonna crap out just barely. Murray blew three break points on Lu's third service game. Need one break to sneak under after 6-3, 6-3 sets. Chances of it happening on the next service game when I have to have it ... 0%Comment -
What makes you think Gulbis is at his worst on grass??Comment -
Meh. That blows. I had over originally until I looked a bit closer. Guaranteed if I need Lu to hold that last one to get the over, he would have been broken.
C'mon Reister!Comment -
Tie break fails by Reister twice. Down 2-1. Lost the last two in TBs. poop.Comment -
Got the two bigger ones today and the Cetkovska win cancels the other two dog losers. Unfortunately, blew some on the under that crapped out. Small profit for the day though - and considering the day itself, I feel good because a lot of people probably got raped today.Comment -

I know that but let's be honest: His career prior to last year doesn't really hold much relevance with the changes he's clearly been through. Therefore, let me rephrase my question:
Judging by his game and play (I would say gameplay but that doesn't quite hit the fit) what makes you think he is the worst on grass?
Personally, I'd say he should be pretty damn great on grass.Comment -
I think it does. You can still tell what sort of game a guy has by how he has done on the surface. Both clay and hard courts he was good at and could run hot and be great at times - never ever on grass was he that. He stayed with a lot of players, but that was due mostly to his serve and little else.
Maybe he turns into an all-court player now, but he's still got to beat some grass goons before I buy into him being a threat on grass.Comment -
Ok we disagree to a certain extent and to the other end of that extent you're right, I'll give you as much. Let me therefore rephrase myself yet again:
Disregarding statistical performance on different surfaces, simply looking at his tennis play, would you expect him to be the worst on grass? If so: How so?
^That's what you'd call "a lock"!Comment -
I would expect clay because of the speed, but grass also isn't all that quick in most cases. Hard courts suit his weaponry best without a doubt. Only time will tell if he has turned a corner because he's just above .500 on hard and clay so far and below .500 on grass.Comment -
Why would you say HC suits him better than grass? He's a very aggressive player who's great at net play when he does make an approach.
Perhaps he is a tad too baseline-centric...Comment -
That's why I think hard courts suit him. He stays back and just pounds the ball. Let's be honest, there aren't too many plays who come to net more than 5% of the match if that. So it is basically a baseliners game now.Comment -
Then why not clay over HC?Comment -
Slower speeds, power negated. Seems like a pretty straight forward answer. Hard fast, power good. Clay slow, power not so good.Comment -

Hey Eagles I see you like Lisicki over Vesnina, with both being great on grass (I think Lisicki is 24-7) but with Vesnina winning in Eastborne don't you think she is better value @ +125? Or do you think some fatigue will play a role? I know Lisicki has had a good record @ Wimbledon, but wanted to get your thought process for that pick.Comment -
U taking kudla at +178 or dodig -202?Comment -
Oops, sorry Kudla +178. Fixed. I think Lisicki's track record at Wimbledon speaks for itself. She has shown up here several years in a row and put up good results. Don't think fatigue is anything to consider. Most of Vesnina's matches were short. I just think in the big setting of a Slam, Lisicki has proven more here while Vesnina seems to play better without the spotlight of the Slam.Comment -
Added this massive investment tonight. I picked Bartoli to go to the Finals in the bracket contest. Gut feeling and the draw is really open with Sharapova out now. For $5, who the fukk cares.
