Why is Wawrinka a short fave over Kohls?

[GoBlue77]

Is Wawa hurt or something? This line suggests Wawrinka will lose.

Cause he tanked the last two Master's but he likes the dirt

The real trap line tomorrow is a very much in-form-and-making-a-name-for-himself Zverev over Granollers (lucky loser). Would never bother throwing away money on Granola-Bar but this line screams upset. More likely, Zverev wins in a 3 setter (someone else mentioned on here that these fishy lines usually go the distance). I don't do over/unders with the local so I'll watch with casual interest.

Worth noting that favorites swept the board today

Tread lightly


(Considering Cuevas, Daniel, and Verdasco)

Delbonis was a favorite and lost, and Lorenzi won
and simon and Dimitrov were a pick em

The Zverev line is right. He's only 13 places higher than Granollers (54 vs 67).

Thanks for the fact-checking, Matt, but i believe Fognini wasn't favored. And even if he was, is that really an upset?

I don't remember the odds on Delboner but pretty sure they weren't high and even if they were, considering he was fresh off a final victory on another continent, I'd argue that hardly merits as a true "upset" either.

And dude, rankings? Seriously? There's only one factor that you should truly concern yourself with when it comes to odds: perception. Not rankings.

In any event, 11/13 still equals chalk domination. Proceed with caution. Or penetrate it and throw endless piles of spaghetti at the wall like Matt and hope something sticks.

I get your point. More so, chalky is risky in non-slam tournys. Who knew Murray would lose a set today?

Playing his first match on clay/inconsistent/Kolh serves well/Kohl is decent on clay/Kohl is playing well

IMO just a don't touch game in my eyes. I tried to find an angle but it can go several ways Id rather not touch it. Stating the obvious there I guess but I can't bring myself to do it.

Granola bars, in 3.
