US Open thoughts

Flavia Pennetta +275 vs Petra Kvitova

YAS. Needed this! Thanks to dtp for the idea.

[w@lt]

Victoria Azarenka -227 vs Simona Halep
Roger Federer -961 vs Richard Gasquet

Very confidant in Roger. Added him in to cut some of the juice.

Good stuff w@lt. You have been nicely patient posting solid plays all tourney. Impressive.

Thanks. Very impressive by you as well!

I've done pretty well at Grand Slams over the past few years. I have to keep reminding myself that patience is the key, though!

If anyone is worried about Vika's sleeves, don't be. From what I understand, she just had some irritation from a shirt earlier in the week.

[w@lt]

Just one game, but Vika looking very strong early.

Stanislas Wawrinka -165 vs Kevin Anderson

i know you love fed... in your opinion -7.5 games or -2.5 sets better bet tn?

I don't really like spreads. I feel like it's hard enough to pick a straight up winner. I do think Fed gets it done in straights, though.

I don't think the rain delay did Vika any good

[w@lt]

Stanislas Wawrinka -165 vs Kevin Anderson

Pretty much went exactly as I thought. Stan can seriously raise his level at Slams.

[w@lt]

This is why so many of the other players on tour are so much more likable than fake-ass, prima donna Serena. This is from Vika's Twitter:

[w@lt]

Will probably be taking Roger on Friday. He's simply the best player in the world right now. He hasn't dropped serve ALL SUMMER. Stan playing well, but hasn't seen anyone in the same world as Rog this tourney.

Wait until he runs into his slam nemesis.

Note that the Patriots won't have the sinister privilege of using deflated balls.

Good going, Pats. Now, let's go ROG!

Have a Fed future from last week at +370, but putting down some more. Would pay out about the same as parlaying him today and in the final against Djoker (if the line is around even), but would pay out more than parlaying him against Cilic (I would assume the line would be much higher)

R.Federer wins US Open +169 vs Field wins US Open

[secret007]

joker would be around -140 IF he meets Fed in the final...

Eh, I don't know. IF Fed/Djok win, and based on what happened in Cincy, I would predict a lower line.

[secret007]

-125 at the very least.. higher than that and i'd jump on Joker..

[w@lt]

So, you know me... what if Genie wouldn't have fallen?....

[w@lt]

Wow. Two SABRs already... and a break!

Best thing is, Fed is going to be fresh for Sunday. Hasn't dropped a set. He's going to do it. I just don't see how Djok brings anything that Fed can't handle right now. I was more worried about this Stan match; I thought he may over-power Fed like he showed a bit in the first set.

[Conqueror]

Cilic and Wawrinka should have withdrawn. These were no semis.

Federer wins US Open +169
US Open - Roger Federer +370

Have two futures riding Sunday, may add more.

GL man. Roger was much the best today. Sunday the match we've all been waiting for!

Thanks, man. Wish we both could have won! What will you be on in the final?

I was leaning to Joker over whoever won the 2nd match, but after Fed cruised, I will wait until closer to game time to bet. Might just enjoy the match with no action.

[w@lt]

Opening lines at 5dimes:

Novak Djokovic -126
Roger Federer +106

[Conqueror]

Having watched both games, I'm looking forward to a close and enjoyable finals. My advise would be: don't bet on the game. Just enjoy it. Drink some beer while you watch it just as I'll do.

Roger Federer +118 vs Novak Djokovic

Putting just a little bit more on Fed. He gets it done today in 4.
