    Donald Young +323

    Is that not great value against Monfils, who has struggled hard in this tourney, and Young, who is really in good form?

    Think it's appropriately priced. Nieminen is no slouch, that was a solid win for Monfils. 1st round forgiven some due to rust. Young has not played anyone close to Monfils level yet, so he has to step up and show something here. This is usually the point where the real Donald Young shows up and lays an egg. May or may not happen, but I don't particularly see either side as a great play, if anything I'd use Monfils in parlays.

    DY since the US Open is peaking. He may lose this match, but I really think the line is too high on Monfils, as good as DY is on the hard surface.

    I think yiou guys really overestimate Young. He's gotten a few nice wins in spots where his opponents have been pretty bad, but mostly this is the same inconsistent guy who when pushed by Top 20-30 players will not win 9x out of 10.

    i think you underestimate him, not taking the spread at -145 though

    totally with the birdman on this one. young is the sort of the player who can beat the crap out of challengers or decent players ranked 50-100ish. but when it comes to the top 10-20 he's really got no answers/weapons - i.e. have a look at the us open match against murray.

    I'm on Donald young in this one...I feel that he's got a lot to prove and more motivated in this match and has been looking great. Sure against the upper echelon of players he doesn't play well at all but I like him in this spot against monfils. LET'S GO DONALD!!!

    Nice hit. I said before his best attribute is his will to fight most days. Sounds like Monfils blew this one, but Young capitalized something he hasn't always done. I'm still not a big fan of his game until he proves week in, week out that he can consistently compete ... but a nice W.

    If he can up his consistency on a regular basis, he can certainly become a threat with even the top 20 and eventually top 10 players also....it was very impressive and yes, monfils tanked both the 2nd and 3rd sets with some double faults at critical times but make no mistake donald young TOOK this match from him and made some beautiful winners both up the net and through some killer groundstrokes.

    Stayed up mad late to watch that whole match and came out impressed....this is coming from one of the most anti-donald young tennis fan lol, he has a game and is playing much much better than the past few yrs....but he will need to play like this CONSISTENTLY and he will make great strides if he does
