8/11:

Jack Sock +130 vs Robredo

Have really liked Jacks game lately. His serve has been great and hes been good in long rallys as well. Got unlucky in Canada vs Raonic who beat him in both tie breaks in the 2nd and 3rd set. He was never broken in the match but still lost. Robredo just played Dimitrov but contrary to everyones belief Grigor was not that great in that tournament. Dimi served very poorly vs Robredo, that match should have never gone the distance if Dimi was on his A game. Robredo is a good hard courter but I just like the youth, motivation, home crowd factor combined with a well rested Sock to take this one at + money.

Madison Keys -125 vs Cornet

Keys is a player I always have my eye on when she is listed as a short favorite or small dog. Keys was still getting back into the swing of things in Montreal since returning from injury at Wimbledon. She looked good but Lisicki got the best of her in 3 sets. Lisicki was playing very well that tournament, eventually losing to the tournament winner in Radwanska. Cornet on the other hand looked decent vs Lauren Davis and absolutely putrid vs an injured Azarenka. She was broken at will and her serve was utterly disgusting in that match. Keys will take advantage of Cornets weak serve in this one.

Adding:

Isner -156

Probably a big public play, but I just don't see him losing. Anderson just gifted Dimitrov that match a couple days ago in Canada and don't know how he could mentally bounce back into action vs a well rested Isner. Isner has lost in the first round the last 2 tournaments and I'm willing to bet he doesn't do it 3 times in a row.

I rarely if ever bet 1st round matches. I'm on Robredo though. Sock has played well but he is a mental midget in important situations. Robredo is a patient performer. He does not give an inch. He has to be out classed to lose. Dont think sock has the talent and in a breaker.. well sock is a mental clown

Only reason Sock has lost matches lately is due to the opponent having a huge serve. See Isner/Raonic. If you think Robredo can serve bombs all match vs Sock then be my guest

Saw he was up 5-4 serving in breaker... Then he lost it 5-7??? That is a choke job by Sock IMO...

[SSVIR]

Sock is playing like he has a tennis ball for brains. The commentators can't even help but be astonished by his incredibly poor choice of shot selection and strategy.

[Hardcoar]

Of course you did. I did as well. As a matter of fact, all Sock backers did!

[FlipsideRM]

LOL. Sock literally choked the damn match away. Was up 5-2 in the tie break, lost 5 consecutive points. Obviously throwing the towel in now in the 2nd set. Might have to stay off Jack Sock for awhile, he's one of the worst tie breaker players I've ever seen.

This is EXACTLY what I was talking to one of my students that is going to play college tennis this semester...

Amazing power, but the most odd choices of shots at key times... It's sad to watch sometimes... But we learn from what we see IMO, at least I try to...

Hard, you always make me smile man with your posts!!! You funny fukker

He was up 5-2?? Dang... I have been off Sock for awhile now when he lost that big lead a few months ago, I can't trust him BEC of his crazy shot selections at times...

Agree on the breaker statement. And that is SO sad bec he has the humungous serve, smh...

Yep, was up 5-2. Robredo won both his serves, Jack serving up 5-4 and blew them both and robredo finished him. Sick sequence, Socks obviously done for the day after that

Staying away from that shit show.Never know which 2 of those players you're going to get

[FlipsideRM]

Well Buchanan just threw that match away. Had 2 mini breaks in tie breaker and serving for match at 5-4. Ends up losing tie breaker 7-5.

[Hardcoar]

Yup... Chasing Puke-Canadien.

[fitguy67]

8/12:

Safarova +107 vs Venus Williams

[Vinnie Paz]

Tailing

Think Venus is taxed? Obvious fade the finalist angle?

Both. She was beat 2 days ago in that final. Safarova is no slouch

[FlipsideRM]

Safarova didn't make it easy. But 1-0 on the day. Maybe 1 more coming

[FlipsideRM]

Adding:

Dodig +170

[Cappinpicks]

Safarova didn't make it easy. But 1-0 on the day. Maybe 1 more coming

didnt you say it was easy in the other thread?

[FlipsideRM]

Dodig getting way too trendy imo. Gulbis is in horrible form, hasn't even won a set off Dodig and this is the line? The faster courts should suit Gulbis. Look at any tennis tips site people all over dodig's peni today.

Should be a good match. Love the way dodig has been playing. This line popped out to me before reading any tennis tips site...lol

[FlipsideRM]

didnt you say it was easy in the other thread?

Are you really here to argue with me about whether I said a match was easy or not? Lmao. Give it a break
