Robredo +173 over Stan the mental midget man-I hit it hard!!!

[ManeOnFire]

Does he point to his head a lot? I know it's his signature but I haven't seen a lot of his matches.

Thats when you know he's pumped

Sheeet.

[PharaohUB]

Robredo has him right where he wants him.

[matt1216]

Stan is done

[constrictor]

Ok lets go now Stan

[Snowball]

Stanislas displaying raw bulldog tenacity this match.

Robredo got tight in that tiebreak. Too bad cause the match would have been over.

[Bumdeal]

at +185 I'd make this bet again. It was certainly competitive and came down to a few points.

It's only a 2-1 set lead for Wawrinka... I thought Robredo was mentally tough? Seems like Wawa was the one tha was mentally tough. That is why I never trust robredo

Wawrinka just stepped up a gear. Nothing to do with Robredo.

[Snowball]

Warinka looks like he wants to rip Tommy's head off. did you see that exchange
of mouth hate ? lol.

[PharaohUB]

It's amazing how much players step up their level of play for grand slams. The way a #20 plays in a grand slam he would sweep all other ATP events. It's all about the money!

Wawa has been serving 46-50% first serve this whole match. Wawa played like shit, but stepped it up in a clutch situation. Robredo played to "not lose" this match. He should have played to win

[slayer14]

boredo never played aggressive shots

He lost two sets in demoralizing fashion. That's a lot to ask. Match could have gone either way.

How? He had breaks points on multiple games but Wawrinka served aces to negate them. He also faced no break points in that set.

That comment is absolutely ridiculous.

[sluggy1616]

I went from 4 units to 1 unit and dropped 1 unit at +104. Thanks for everyones input in the thread!!!

Go team SBR

Poet, had Wawrinka served "just ok" 60%ish Robredo would have had no break point chances

[SirtySree]

Wawrinka's first serve % is always at 50% mark. If he served at 60%, he wouldn't be serving okay.

[w@lt]

What were they arguing about?

Lots of what ifs. Robredo at +money was worth a shot. He had his chances. Had he won the tiebreak Stan would have faded. Would make the bet again.

[matt1216]

My point is, which I made clear yesterday.. Is the part where wawrinka dosnt fade in hardcourt slams.

[poet]

Really? What were all those timeouts about? He was a tiebreak loss away from going away.

congrats to stan-backers, particularly those with the conviction/stones to straight-up -200 ml him...

razor close till the 3rd-set TB showed us that when Stan decides to switch into terminator mode (which we haven't seen him in since the AO) he really is (or rather can be, when he wants to be) "that good"

still, agree whole-heartedly with Poet here...

if 100 people hip to tennis (but not to betting) were watching the match and were tapped on the shoulder at 75 46 66 (7-7) in the 3rd set TB...and asked to identify who the 2-1 favorite was you'd get lots of guessing and 'dunno's...(a few minutes later however it was clear as a bell...but if that TB went the other way...who knows)...

Not to mention, fitguy, Robredo backers could have cashed out and made a profit while the match hung in the balance (not so with WaWa backers). When Robredo was up in the tie break Stan was +150. I thought about it but passed. Did not think Stan could come back if he lost that breaker. And Robredo's shot on set point missed the line by an inch.
