Halep is going to win the Finals

[GoBlue77]

Just bet her in meaningful matches. Already cashed against Pennetta.

Courts are slow. Halep is this years CHAMP
Cant wait to pound her in the Final

Kerber has a back injury
Kvitova is jetlagged
Sharapova is rusty
Mugs isn't healthy and is an error machine
Lucie isn't good enough
Pennetta doesn't care she's already retired

hard to argue with you here, who do you think gives her the most problems?

best answer. wait and see...

hard to tell with women this LATE in the year, some may be on fumes and not healthy and just be here to be here. it will become more clear as the tournament rounds out.

the red group, with gun to my head, muguruza or kerber, whoever is healthier there? so many question marks with so many of these ladies right now, waiting to see who is healthy. I'm a fan of kvitova but she may be gassed from a long year.

Classic capping mistake, drawing conclusions after the 1st match, against a tourist. Would not be surprised if Halep lost both to Masha and Agga, although it is unlikely. Let's see how she looks in more meaningful matches. But yeah, she has a decent chance. Halep-Sharapova final is pretty likely, I think.

Kvitova has not played much in Asia. How can she be gassed ? Halep has never beaten Sharapova, and Kvitova/Sharapova/Muguruza can all overpower her on a good day. Kvitova is jetlagged, why is that ?

The way they stacked these players out was wild
1,3,5,7 all in the same group makes it a stronger group
It should have been 1,4,6,7 or 1,4,5,8
the way they did it makes the groups unbalanced
This tourney is fun, they should promote it to a wider audience
Its not even on TV here
Just watching some doubles, I think there is less variance in doubles and the higher seeds seem to win more consistently

It's weird i have watched it on TV the last five years but now it's gone, it used to get good coverage and some ads , why did they dropped it this year?

The groups are drawn randomly according to the seeds. This is how it worked out this year. And it is on TV, on the tennis channel. The time difference obviously does not help. I am gonna have to miss watching this tourney.

The more I think about this, the more I like Halep and Sharapova: they had relatively subpar seasons, so they have the most to play for. Kvitova might be dangerous too, if she is healthy enough. Agga is too feminine, Mugz is a rookie, and Kerber is too unstable to win this.

If somebody is gonna watch the matches, it would be nice to know if anything unusual happens today.

I'm thinking Halep or Pova too and they play tomorrow although I don't really do much analysis these days. Pova is 5-0 but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed tomorrow.

2k on Halep for me.

Capping mistake lol. It's my prediction. Bet whoever you want I don't really care.
Kvitova has logged 21,000 miles or something crazy and mentioned how drained she was already. Do some research noob.

These courts suit Halep. I will gladly pound her tomorrow over a rusty Sharapova

[frugalgambler]

Well, kudos for doing research on Kvitova. 21,000 miles is not that much, btw. And flying first class is not a bad experience.

We'll see tomorrow if Halep means business or if Sharapova will bagel her. Masha might just have a hypnotic hold on Halep. I kinda like Halep 1st set more @-115 than Halep FG @-120.

You can also watch on Watchespn.com
This is also a good site to watch college football
or basketball and they have replay
its cool

[gaebiskon]

she folds under pressure
sharapova usually wins when williams is not around

mug or sharapova for me

[latarianmilton]

Halep will eventually choke, will find a way to lose the final or semi.

[Gargo]

2k on Halep for me.

Ouch......Was all over Sharapova

[VtecMouse]

Lmao.. lil got smoked haha

100% of people who know basically nothing about tennis are on Muguruza-that doesn't mean she won't win.

[frugalgambler]

Nope, I make my own plays and I do not blame "twats" or "fixes" for my losses. The reason you are a twat is because you are behaving like a twat, regardless of winning or losing the actual bet.

I am just hoping that newbies will learn that tailing internet blowhards is not the way to go in the long run; I would have appreciated that advice a few years ago. GL though, I do actually hope you win.

Yep, if you are gonna tail someone make sure he has a winning record long term, not if he hit his last 3 plays.
It's always more infuriating losing while tailing someone too, makes you feel really dumb. Specially those -200 favs that they swore on their mother wouldn't lose.

halep loses 1st set from being 5-1 up in tie break

[baseballstud]

Halep got her butt kicked all over court tonight. GG OP
