Aussie Open Day 1 In-Game-Thread

I like Benneteau +135. He has Marcos' number and played well against mid-ranked talent on hard court in the early '09 tourneys. Can't wait to watch some tennis. Gonna have them tune a tv for the Roddick match at the bar while everyone is watching the late NFL game.

Sounds good to me.

On Ivanovic's future at 11-1.

**Boner_18** · 01-18-09, 07:03 PM

I ended up taking Monfils at +12500 before it dropped to +5000. Hopefully he can make it to the 1/8's or 1/4's so I can take some value out. Roddick match starting now, no play for me. Enjoy tennis ya'll, I'm heading to the bar!

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-18-09, 07:09 PM

I'm the only one here who apparently sees Baghdatis as a threat. He'll probably lose because of that, but he's dangerous if he wins a match or two here.

Definitely, people are severly underestimating him here.

I've never played futures, how does this work? I'm just curious, how can you soak value out of something that probably won't happen? Even if he makes the Q's, it's not likely he makes it.. may sound a bit stupid/ignorant..

**ZXCVBNM** · 01-18-09, 07:15 PM

I'm excited for the first slam of the year, good luck everyone

**daggerkobe** · 01-18-09, 07:18 PM

Why is Pinny's tennis odds not available?

Even if a +12500 dog has no shot at winning (anything's possible), if he does have a nice run into quarters you can buy out of the wager and have an opportunity to secure a nice profit.

**daggerkobe** · 01-18-09, 07:23 PM

Ballack down a break already. Ooops I mean Ivanovic.

**j0hnnyv** · 01-18-09, 07:36 PM

Anyone else have DirecTV and is watching on the new AUSTRALIAN OPEN GAME MIX channel and all the courts have their own channel? Its with ESPN INTERACTIVE TV. Every court in Hidef and 1 channel with everygame on 1 channel in HD with interactive menus.

This is sick.

I wish I had this on TV. Ana on serve.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 08:09 PM

Ivanovic with double set points, actually on ESPN2 HD.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 08:10 PM

Ivanovic wins set 7-5, what a queen.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 08:44 PM

Ivanovic facing a BP.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 08:56 PM

Ivanovic rolls 7-5 6-3..

**daggerkobe** · 01-18-09, 09:01 PM

Anna looked awful. Not even a top 50 player any longer.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 10:44 PM

Del Potro winning pretty handily so far.

**Shark79** · 01-18-09, 10:47 PM

Crazy ... Del Potro is a fav. to win this ... he will go smooth saling till semis.

johnny ... Moya is the better player.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 11:11 PM

Djokovic up a break early.

**pimike** · 01-18-09, 11:13 PM

SEPPI in a big upset tonight

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 11:14 PM

That ball looked in to me..

**daggerkobe** · 01-18-09, 11:19 PM

Baggy match is pretty good but can't watch cause of the annoying announcer.

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 11:23 PM

What's up with needing to watch a Lance Armstrong interview for 8 minutes during the damn Djokovic match?

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 11:30 PM

Del Portro wins in straight sets..

**SBR Lou** · 01-18-09, 11:41 PM

Mardy Fish loses the first set and was a -1000ish favorite...

Thought about fading him for a few bucks as a joke but didn't.

**Fiasco** · 01-18-09, 11:42 PM

Mardy will come back

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-19-09, 12:02 AM

Begin your Baghdatis watch now baby. The Cypriot is on the loose! I love his game when he's healthy. If he wins in Round 2, he'll be a serious threat to get to the quarters.

**SBR Lou** · 01-19-09, 12:03 AM

Fish gets the break back.

Djokovic handling Stoppini...
