Jang or jabeur

mtc44380 · 09-18-13, 09:13 PM

Of course what I say might go in 1 ear and out the other after I picked Jovanoski over King, however,
I wouldnt touch this match, Jang coming off a huge win against Zaka, who knows if she is still riding high and Jabeur wont be the one to bring her down if that match wasnt a fluke. Zaka played like crap, but even her crappy play should still be able to beat a player like Jang, so she might be having one of those breakout tourneys.
Even though she is over priced, if I had to play, my value would be on Jang - she played well yesterday. Jabeur should win, but like I said, anything can happen if Jang brings that A game again.
BOL

going with the Korean playing at home with a better hard courts record

I know its late: the match already started; but I watched a little bit of Zakopalova's upset. I do not generally believe that matches are fixed, but that was a prime candidate for that. Zaks just looked like she wanted to get out of Korea as soon as possible, she did not try to keep the ball in the court at all and looked happy to lose. Oh and Jabeur is up 3-0 in the 1st set.

I am on the fiesty little Korean too - unfortunately she is getting off to a bad start. +4 was hard to lay off though.

I dont blame her for wanting to get out of Korea, to lose that bad against a player outside of the top 100, let along with a world rank of 500, there had to be something up. I am also not one to believe in 'fixes' but if she didnt feel like competing, that is her deal.
The little Korean is so far playing like she is supposed to tonight.... unfortunately I am on her side.

Well fellas, it appears Jang's luck has ran out - she got her premier win of her career, she must have went out and drake too much sake, and not she forgot how to play tennis

Its womens tennis, and two 150+ ranked players, so really anything can happen.
If Jang can get more of those 1st serves in and capitalize a little on Jabeur's 2nds, it would turn out to be an interesting match.

Yeah, sorry for not posting this earlier;

frustrated I missed the chance to bet Jabeur ATS because of some silly MLB game I put a wager on.

mtc44380 · 09-18-13, 10:50 PM

That would have been a balsy play, Jabeur -4, but obviously its looking pretty good right now.

16johnnymac · 09-18-13, 11:08 PM

Any other plays tonight?

Thx for advice

frugalgambler · 09-18-13, 11:13 PM

I put a small bet on Puig ML vs King and Tursunov -4.5, do not like other lines that much; do not think these plays are that great either so I am going 1/2 unit only.

Watching the 2nd set of this match. Jabeur is laboring a bit, seems that she is playing with an injured ankle and the Korean broad is going for the lines and hitting the winners. Tied at 4-4 now, so you never know. Higher quality tennis from the Korean broad than I expected.

frugalgambler · 09-18-13, 11:52 PM

Wow Jabeur just fell apart. How did she manage to win that 1st set at 6-1 ?? Thank god for the MLB game that prevented me from betting on Jabeur. Congrats on betting on the upset.

what line did you get her, I only got +240

her line keep going up mins before the match, saw it close at +275 at my book

Bet10Heinekens · 09-18-13, 11:57 PM

Yeah buddy

mtc44380 · 09-19-13, 12:03 AM

Nice work fellas, i took the ML(+245) and +4(ev) so they both worked out, nice to see the korean pull it out, i was worried after the 1st, but as i said, its womens tennis..... anything can happen.
Jang did everything i needed her to, increased her 1st serve percent and capitalized on Jabs 2nd serve. Good work and goodnight.
CHEERS!

Tursunov won easily; but I was screwed by V. King for the 2nd day in a row. Again another crazy voodoo from that pretty POS player: down 1-6 2-5 to Puig and comes back to win on tie-break in the 3rd set. Bad beats.
