Djokovic has a very nice draw... Nadal, Fed, Murray and Tsonga are all in other half

MagicDiceFlow · 06-21-13, 06:25 AM

Djoker future +165 is the best bet. Can't see anyone on his half beating him on grass. Best chance is possibly Berdych but he can't outlast Djoker in a five set format. Everyone else will get dusted by Djoker on grass.

Murray and Djoker in the final ......Djoker in four sets.

The toughest matchup in the opening round is SIMON vs F. LOPEZ. Coin toss in that match.

beefcake · 06-21-13, 07:36 AM

The way felicity is playing with his deadly serve, would give him the edge in that match up

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 07:40 AM

Djokovic to win without dropping a set @ 34?

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 07:50 AM

Gotta go with Birdie @ 62 with this draw. Djokovic gets knocked out cold and the road to the finals is a probable one.

Should be interesting definitely, but you have to favor Lopez surely?

First time in a long time I'm actually going to have to think about who to put in the semis for the men. Finally have an interesting Slam draw! Women will be a crapshoot like usual with Serena as the winner for me surprise surprise.

WOW....how about in the top half of the womens draw. Kirilenko vs Robson with the winner playing Goerges or Marino.

Very tough spot.

Exciting times!

Dat serve. Dat you know what. Imo Azarenka has the best chance to beat Serena although I'm not sure if it's worth it at 9.00.

Haven't looked in-depth, but Ferrer to Win His Quarter would be my favorite bet for futures. Even though he got beat in the Dutch tourney this week, he has played well here and his quarter is pretty soft. Federer got the Nadal shaft.

And how the penetrate do they always manage to have a repeat of a title match for the tourneys before Slams in the 1st round ..

Lopez v. Simon. Fukkin witchcraft.

Regul8er · 06-21-13, 01:06 PM

Gun to my head...Im taking Lopez. Seems to be very comfortable on the fairway.

EaglesPhan36 · 06-21-13, 01:13 PM

Well I hope he wins both. #1, big payday for me tomorrow if he does. #2, Simon bores everyone.

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 01:20 PM

I can't decide whether to go for Djokovic @ 2.3 or Berdych @ 65.

Also considering Jerzy @ 301 and Gulbis @ 501...

Any opinions?

EaglesPhan36 · 06-21-13, 02:58 PM

Berdych is a waste IMO. There's a decent shot given his form that he may not make the quarters IMO and I think he;s one of those guys that is tough to figure out - so hedging to make money, you might lose more because he could get hot or he could go out Round 1 again.

Gulbis seems wasteful too. If he wins his opener, he's likely getting Tsonga Round 2 on a surface that isn't particularly good for Gulbis. Don't be fooled by his Halle showing - that grass plays quick and helped him, Wimbledon does not.

Don't know about JJ. That Edmund kid could keep that 1st rounder tight and then gets protype serve & volley in Stepanek. The tradeout opportunities just look not so great - at least that is what I am thinking you are doing with these, right?

Hilarious these two are playing tomorrow and then again on Monday. On paper , Lopez may be favored slightly but you'd be surprised. Simon can pull off some upsets sometimes when no one is looking, especially against big servers since he has a solid return game. Guess we'll get a good gauge when we watch the match later tomorrow.

EaglesPhan36 · 06-21-13, 03:37 PM

The plus I take for the Mighty Flodonis hopefully to cash a bigger prize for me is that Simon's grass track record against grass beasties like Flodonis show good competitiveness, but losses. Two losses to Del Potro and Malisse in the last two years on grass. Obviously not lefties, but both with good pop on-serve and forehand wise like F.Lo.

I wasn't actually that impressed by his Halle showing. It did tell me he doesn't have an issue playing fast surfaces though. Are you that convinced he's "bad" on grass?

These bets are mostly for fun as far as I'm concerned. High odds rarely make for good trades anyway, and other than trading, for instance Tsonga waiting in 2nd doesn't really matter much as you'd have to beat pretty much a few of the best to make the finals.

I mean let's assume I did take Janowicz. He'd still likely be between @ 7 to 9 against Federer. That doesn't really make for a good trade for a future with small stakes.

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 03:57 PM

Early GS rounds are always a horror for me to bet on because it's so exhausting looking through all the match-ups including odds.

Dmoneytx · 06-21-13, 03:58 PM

The draws are out

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 04:01 PM

Thanks!

I have to go back to the court to keep teaching. I am going to give a good write up of the early rounds on my thread when I have a good amount of time, like tomm and Sunday. I am freaking pumped that W is right around the corner!!! Gonna be so fing awesome

Hardcoar · 06-21-13, 04:08 PM

This time without being sarcastic: Thanks!

Sounds cool.
