Why is Feliciano Lopez favourite of his match vs Roger-Vasselin?

[tipsadontlikehim]

because of the jetlag for the frenchman?

[tipsadontlikehim]

damnit, forgot Roger-Vasselin played (and won) the doubles just yesterday in Marseille, hm hm..

[Hardcoar]

Injury too.

[tipsadontlikehim]

Injury too.

ok thanx...but don't like trusting Lopez too much

[EaglesPhan36]

Injury too.

What injury is this?

[Hardcoar]

Not sure, but he definitely had some pain last week, and had at least two MTOs of two matches played. I can't remember whether it was back, wrist, or ankle pain though... completely spacin' on that part.

Edit: That said, he did look good despite the fact, but you have to consider he was at home... also he's French so don't bet your mortgage on him.

[EaglesPhan36]

Definitely surprised with the price on this. I expected close to a pick 'em type of line and actually like ERV better on the surface. Probably steer clear altogether now since the line seems fishy or based on that possible injury.

Good info to know. Thanks prof.

[Hardcoar]

I agree the line is way off, but he's no longer at home, he just won the doubles yesterday, he's more or less injured, and he's French.

[EaglesPhan36]

Home has nothing to do with it for me. He performed well @ Delray Beach last year at this time. Played well in Chennai to start the year. He can win outside of France.

[Hardcoar]

I mean French usually play better at home.

[EaglesPhan36]

I got your drift, I think he plays well away also based on his results of the last year on this surface. Not sure how anyone could justify backing Lopez after his performance against Johnson to close his week out last week. Disinterested to say the least.

what is ur problem with frenchmen?













but the worst is:you are actually right

[Hardcoar]

Yeah I absolutely agree. My point is just that it's a big advantage for him, which is now not there.

Apart from the universal truth that they can never be trusted in tennis... none!

Ferrer 2012 was the only exception

Whatever the f*ck that's supposed to mean... sure!
