how the fck is there value on Anderson?? Dimitrov has the head to head handly. Dmitrov also beat anderson when he wasn't even half his current form. Anderson has progress but has logged major hours. There's zero value on Anderson here

Disagree strongly with no value on Anderson. Why is there no value? Anderson won their only encounter on hard court and Dimi only won on grass where the ball holds and grips more slowing down serves.
Dimi is playing well and Anderson is playing his best ever. This should be a close match and @2.5+, there is value on Anderson and could argue that there is little value in taking Dimi @1.5 only. (If they played 3 matches, Dimi has to win 2 matches just to break even. Of course this is only 1 match but I am pointing that out jut for the argument of where the value lies).
Personally for me, I am just going to enjoy the match and not worry bout betting on it. Finals are usually close games so will provide enough entertainment alone.
Good luck everyone no matter which side you decided to bet.

Buddy it's fine, I've won lots of money over the last year in tennis. I have no problem checking back in. Most Panzies on this forum will not check back in. Anderson is not winning this matchup. Seriously, Anderson may have a better first serve but Dimitrov will win 70% of the rallies. If Anderson dosnt hit 75% or better first serves, he's cooked

I had Anderson +3, but I don't think he played that well. His gameplan was completely off. Whenever he played a good shot, he should come to the net and close it out with a volley, or force Dimitrov to commit a mistake, going for a passing shot... Instead, he allowed Dimitrov to play defense from 3 meters behind the baseline, and whenever he made a good shots, Dimitrov defende with deep slice or a loopy shot, neutralising that adventage, which Anderson created and forcing him to build the point from the start... I think if Anderson would be more agrresive and not get into so many long rallies, he would won this one...

You know, it was a tough match. I don't think he could play better man. I've seen him play for years. That was by far the best I've seen him in rallies. Sure he made some mental errors, and his first serve wasn't as good as it normally was but,look who he was playing...his rallying was easily top 10 quality. For a "big Man" he put all the guys to shame. Had he played like he did tonight in Del Ray, he woulda had a title. He lost atleast 70% of the rallies in set 1 and 2. Set 3 he wasn't missing much.seriously, by far!!!! The best I've ever seen Anderson play.

Yeah, I understand what you are saying. I agree that he played well in rallies, but I was just questioning his gameplan. He should shorten the points, when he had the opportunity to do so...
When it comes to his serve, I had feeling that Dimitrov was returning really well. He sure did return few serves, which Anderson probably expected to be aces or at least serve winners.
