**SBR Lou** · 01-27-09, 07:47 PM

Dementieva is rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllling.

**mattypiper** · 01-27-09, 07:56 PM

After a tough loss last night with Djokavic, let's switch to WTA:

Serena Williams -285
Risk 5.7 to Win 2

**Alpo** · 01-27-09, 08:01 PM

I'm stuck at work. Does Navarro have a chance to turn it around? I've got a small play on her.

**The General** · 01-27-09, 08:02 PM

Demy is a winner and nothing will change that bar a retire.

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:07 PM

I have Elena 2-0 so I'm hoping she can maintain her strong form this set and not have a letdown.

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:08 PM

Navarro serving first in the 2nd set. If Elena can break in the first game I'll feel very comfortable

I can't say in good faith I think she can turn it around enough to win this match, she'll be extremely lucky to sniff a set point. Just a mismatch right here.

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:16 PM

And there's the break! Now all Elena has to do is hold serve and don't choke!

**Alpo** · 01-27-09, 08:19 PM

Thanks Crazy Lou. It looks bad from following it on-line. I must be a sucker for a one-handed backhand...

She's undefeated in 09 dude, she's always been the kind of player that gets broken 2 times a set but she can break her opponent every game if she has to. She'll be fine, doubt she drops a set.

Must be, you certainly didn't bet on the hotter of the two.

Navarro

Elena

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:21 PM

Dementieva is giving this match away and Navarro can't break her. What a horrible 1st serve %

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:23 PM

And she holds. Navarro 0/9 on break pts

**Alpo** · 01-27-09, 08:23 PM

Not a pretty face, but that sure is a pretty one-hander.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-27-09, 08:49 PM

Not watching - is the roof closed?

**andrewaxia** · 01-27-09, 08:53 PM

Roof open...What's everyone's play on Williams-Kuznetsova...I'm split and no play for me

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-27-09, 08:56 PM

Roof open - don't touch that match. Serena should win, but I'm a little concerned about her in the heat especially at that price. Skip it and make a small play on Verdasco is the roof is staying open.

**The General** · 01-27-09, 08:59 PM

I wanted to go with Serena Williams, but cannot lay the price. No sak I guess.

GL, Everyone

**SBR Lou** · 01-27-09, 10:01 PM

Kuznets. breaks Serena's ugly self again, serving for set one.

**SBR Lou** · 01-27-09, 10:02 PM

It's so unfair they're closing the roof after set one yet the temperature is not even as bad as it was during Djokovics match yesterday.

**Boner_18** · 01-27-09, 10:02 PM

They are closing it for the 2nd set. This gives the edge to Tsongo no?

**Boner_18** · 01-27-09, 10:04 PM

Assuming they keep it closed for the men that is.

It's much hotter today... record breaking heat.

What's the temp been at? It was at 135 for the Djokovic match and hte commentator said it went all the way up to 140.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-27-09, 10:07 PM

Tsonga gets he edge with the roof closed in my book. Verdasco can still win, but loses the big fitness edge in the heat. Live betting to back Serena might not be a bad shot here now. I think the heat was big against her. Interesting to see if she perks up in 2nd set like she did when Zvonareva faded.

**daggerkobe** · 01-27-09, 10:08 PM

ESPN told them to close it since they'd lose ratings if Serena doesn't advance.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-27-09, 10:10 PM

LoL. Four Russians would certainly be interesting. Who chokes the most?

Yesterday was 99 and today is like 105. The 135-140 temp is the temp "on the court." I dunno exactly what that means, maybe the court is holding/radiating heat.

I agree that they should afford all the players equal treatment tho, hot is hot.

**daggerkobe** · 01-27-09, 10:31 PM

They close the roof and it drops from 140 to 97.

**Boner_18** · 01-27-09, 10:39 PM

Yeah and that was in like 25 minutes. Apparently it gets really humid in there tho..

**SBR Lou** · 01-27-09, 10:55 PM

Kuzntes has dbl break points at 3-3 in the 2nd set..
