Should probably start no more than hour late and should be good to go rest of the weekend according to the forecast

NISHIKORI....Analysis:
Gael Monfils will take on Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals after beating Marin Cilic 6-7(6), 6-3, 6-4. Nishikori edged Slovakia's Andrej Martin 6-2, 6-2. At the 2016 Australian Open, Monfils took advantage of a draw which opened up in his section to reach the singles quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the first time. There, he lost to the no. 13 seed Milos... Raonic in four sets. His good form continued going into the Rotterdam Open, where he defeated Ernests Gulbis, Borna Ćorić, Alexander Zverev and Philipp Kohlschreiber before losing to Martin Kližan in three sets. In March, Monfils reached the singles quarterfinals of two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments - Indian Wells and Miami. Monfils reached a third career ATP World Tour Masters 1000 singles final in Monte Carlo, defeating countryman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1 6-3 in the semi-finals, before losing in the final to the eight-time Monte Carlo Masters champion Rafael Nadal in three sets. After a very good week in Monte Carlo, Monfils was looking to replicate this form at two clay-court ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in Rome and Madrid. However, he lost in the first round in Rome to Thomaz Bellucci and in the second round in Madrid to Pablo Cuevas. On 19 July, Richard Gasquet withdrew from the 2016 Olympics tennis tournament because of his back injury. Gasquet would be replaced by Monfils in the men's doubles draw, who would pair up with Jo Wilfried Tsonga. Monfils earned his first ever ATP World Tour 500 Series singles title in July, defeating hard-serving Ivo Karlović in the final in three sets on the hard courts of the Washington Open in Washington, D.C.. The win was Monfils's first ATP World Tour singles title in over two years. The following week, Monfils reached the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup after dispatching 2016 Wimbledon singles finalist Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals, to set up a tie against Novak Djokovic, to whom he lost in straight sets. Monfils is usually described as a baseliner who uses placement and consistency to beat his opponents. Gael is well known for his athleticism and his court coverage, regularly using slides to retrieve balls. His ability to go from defense to offense quickly can take his opponents by surprise. Monfils occasionally demonstrates that he is capable of generating significant pace on his groundstrokes. He has a reputation for showmanship and high-risk shotmaking. During his own service games, he tends to go for an ace or a one-two combination to finish off the points early. I wrote about Nishikori in one of the last previews. Both players are in a good shape. But Frenchman gives the initiative to the opponent very often. The Japanese can take advantage of his situation. I am expecting a difficult match for both players but at least Kei a winner.

I placed these tennis plays thinking I would go 3-1 at worse and I am about to go 1-3. My tennis plays absolutely suck and are draining my wallet. I am going to have to break down everything and change my approach this is ridiculous.

Nish....$$$
Keys...Loss...40 + unforced errors...sounds familiar

To clean up all of the trash I have been donating I placed a very large bet on the GIANTS basically do or die situation. If it loses you guys will not have to deal with reading my posts because I will basically will have wiped out my roll, therefore will not be around to play/ post If it wins obviously will be back in action full steam ahead.
