The bad news is you will be tempted to take her again.

Haha. Maybe.... : )

Anyone watching Groth-Robredo? Groth is playing pure shite and making UE's all the time..
Please retire

**ProDane** · 09-02-15, 06:56 PM

Super dissapointed with Groth, he played absolutely awful making too many unforced errors and his net game was terrible.

Hoping for a better day tomorrow

Strongly considering Genie at + money against Cibulkova. Yeah, Cibulkova beat Ivanovic, but can be erratic, and just had trouble with the 258th ranked player. While it hasn't exactly been 2014 Genie, I think getting a couple of wins at a Slam should have alleviated a bit of pressure, and gave some confidence. +120 at time of post.

Be careful here, don't let Cibulkova's match yesterday fool you. Watched the 2nd set of that match - was a really good standard.

**Snowball** · 09-03-15, 08:27 AM

Nishioka +5 (-102)
Lepchenko +3.5 (-115)
Nara (-118)

At first glance, really liking Azarenka against Kerber on Saturday. 4-0 H2H, with a 6-0, 6-3 thrashing back in January.

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 08:03 AM

Doing it. I have a good feeling.

Eugenie Bouchard +120 vs Dominika Cibulkova

Going to pass on Vika. Wouldn't count out Kerber Baby in this one.

Stosur looking like a good play, though.

Tailing you again on Genie Walt! Best of luck to us both on that one! Was curious as to your thoughts on Bencic vs Venus today.... I was thinking about placing a large bet on Bencic...

Let's get it!

I think Bencic-Venus could go either way. Bencic has game, but is young and seems to be mentally weak sometimes. I'd be worried that a veteran like Venus could play a steady game and frustrate Bencic in to temper tantrums. I also wouldn't be surprised if Bencic came out hitting and blew Venus off the court. Too unpredictable IMO.

**pattymayo** · 09-04-15, 11:04 AM

Bencic mentally weak? not sure about that

I think she smokes Venus today, love her in this spot

**Snowball** · 09-04-15, 11:08 AM

both Cibulkova and Venus rallied in 3rd sets of last round.
they are highly determined vets. just saying.

Haven't you see her throwing temper tantrums? Seems like she looses her shit whenever things aren't going her way

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 12:42 PM

F IT.

Parlay:

Bencic
Stosur

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 01:20 PM

Ughh. I should have trusted my instincts on Bencic. STUPID.

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 09-04-15, 01:27 PM

Djokovic -2.5 sets
Nadal ML

anyone fading either one of these?

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 02:01 PM

I fukking knew it. WHY??

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 02:05 PM

Dumbest impulse bet of the week for me. Venus has owned Bentit, and it was no different today.

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 02:17 PM

Genie up to +138

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 05:25 PM

My heart can't take this...

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 05:39 PM

YES YES YES, Genie!!

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 05:40 PM

Jimmy is coming back for week 2. Genie's going to take down Vinci- playing way better than when she got slaughtered a couple of weeks ago.

She's definitely getting closer to her former promising self but I wouldn't count a win against an inconsistent Cibulkova as anything special.

It's not so much about who she beat, it's more about winning 3 in a row at a Slam, and performing in pressure situations. Earlier this year, Genie would have lost that 1st set tiebreak, and faltered in the second. Also, errors down- 39 winners, 29 UFEs- big thing for her.

**w@lt** · 09-04-15, 08:28 PM

Nadal -330

Very true.
