Is he almost back to normal yet? Thought about taking the spread against Ward - unlike Gabash he won't choke. My only concern is his fitness. Perhaps better to use ML as parlay fodder instead? Or could there actually be some value in Ward here? Thoughts?

Hmmm for me it's little to do with health.
If there's a reason to oppose Youz it's this:
1) Plays Djokovic next.
2) His opponents is odds of 7.0 to back. He is 1.16 to lay.
3) He is Russian.
Does he know realistically he has a very little chance of beating Djokovic in the QF's?
Does he have a huge opportunity to win an Oscar for a fine acting performance in which he eventually loses the match?
Is he Russian?
To answer all three questions..

ward sucks.Comment -
You're not wrong. He choked from 5-1 in the third yesterday against Garbagevilli - losing 5 straight games. He then blew a few mp's in the TB before finally winning it.Originally posted by CallMeGENOComment -
6-2, 6-3Comment -
that might be giving ward too much credit. 6-1, 6-2Comment -
Damn should've stuck with my original lean of Youzhny spread - I let you convince me to place a little on Ward! lol It's ok though, I was really hoping for Ward to play a tight first set and then watch Youzhny retire! It's ok, he'll be an easy fade in the next round for sure!

maybe ward will retire to due "embarrasment"Comment -
Yeah this is pretty bad, especially considering how he played yesterday, albeit against a choker! I wonder how Querry feels watching this match?Originally posted by CallMeGENO

Sorry hehe. The only reason I wrote what I did is because I wanted to take the line on Youzhny too.. only to decide it's not worth the risk trusting him because there was sound reasoning for a potential throwing of the match.
Anyway it could still happen lol.Comment -
hahaha i had querry spread against ward and wasnt even mad. it was impressive how bad he choked after cruising in the first set.Comment -
where was this from ward in the first set?Comment -
I know, right? Wtf? This is pretty wrong, he needs to stop teasing - starting to get hope of the infamous Youzhny retirement!Originally posted by CallMeGENO

haha not today from the youz! looking for ward to get a sniff of a break point
Comment -
Hmmm the Betfair odds are interesting. There's money constantly pushing Youz a little higher than what he should be.
Will be monitoring this closely. It's either the market being a little cautious.. or..Comment -
o so close! not quite tho ward..... wish i could get odd of chance of a break point.Comment -
