Nadal, after he disposes of Nalbandian, will face either Delpo or Federer.


Fed not physically 100% after the 3-set Belluci match. If he were 100% healthy, he'd beat Delpo yet again. But Delpo is showing signs of not having 'it'. If Istomin had more than one testicle, Delpo would've been sent packing tonite. Anyways, all that doesn't matter.

This is what happens:


SEMIFINAL: Delpo/Federer vs. Rising Nadal


Nadal will beat Delpo and Fed has no chance. The price won't be too out of this world. Ideally, you get Fed/Nadal in the semis. Delpo will stand no chance against Rafa in the semis (pound Nadal) and Fed will not beat Rafa in the semis (super pound Nadal).

Also, despite Djokovic owning Rafa's anus and having gotten a court-approved title for it, Rafa will have an excellent chance to send the Djoker packing in the final. This will be a rare spot where you can say, "This is a good spot to hit Rafa vs. Djoker.... even though Djoker has won the last 35 matches between the 2."

I've been trying to say this ever since the ending of the Aussie Open, this is going to be the year of Rafa's comeback. He's definitely going to win another slam this year and will make at least the finals in several other major events. The month off he took will also help. Rafa will destroy DELPO.....I've never liked Delpo's game. He moves like a stiff ogre with a pussy ass backhand.

If Rafa is favored by -175 or less against DELPO, I'm gonna pound & mount that line.

Comeback??????????????????

Guy played out of this world last year

The best player in the game beat him in so many finals

if rafa can beat the djoker here in indian wells or miami(way bigger chance in the desert) then he will crush everyone during the clay court swing and take the french open crown and gain enough confidence for wimbledon,have always said that

[reformed]

dumb dumb dumb.....joker owns nadal on any surface. last year he out grinded nadal on the slowest clay there is in any major tournament in Rome

[ehp6737]

Not just a lock, but a super lock? Well then there is def no way it could lose now

If is a big word

Djoker is not playing like last year. Yes, he won the Aussie but it wasn't the same Djoker as last year. (Fed has done this feat many times..... win it all and not be the same player) And his play in Dubai was clearly slop.... as it has been here in Indian Wells.

Believe me, I've seen the out of control pricing on Nadal vs Djoker in all these recent finals where they simply still do not give Djoker any respect for his domination of Nadal... and it's simply free money on Djoker. however, this time it's different.

Semis:
Nadal > Fed/Delpo

Final:
Roll with dog on Nadal > Djoker

[Sport_Fish]

Seems the books have finally put the right price on a Fed-Del potro match-up...not over-valuing Del Potro anymore.

SUPER LOCK! I love it!!

[baskets]

Oh boy oh boy

Looks like we're going to get Nadal as a dog vs. Fed again...

Worst-case scenario is they make Nadal a -130 fave.... but that price might be too high.



Fed going to get his anus obliterated against Nadal in the semis. And you'll get a fantastic price on this match.


WOW!!!

[jjgold]

Nadal is -129

I like Fed here

[baskets]

Fed will lose. No doubt about it, really.

[jjgold]

Common is Joker really going to face Nadal again??

Then Joker wins in straight sets in finals??

This fukkin script is every tourney they enter

Something has to break

[baskets]

I called the opening Nadal line by one.... 129 vs. 130


I'm a huge Fed fan, but he is simply not winning this. It's just so sad to see this shit over and over. Fed best of all time.. but crumbles like a silly bitch to Rafa every time.

[face]

it's not like djoker nadal matches are easy, djoker was on the ropes, that's what made it so epic last time. nadal can beat fed easy, for some reason nadal gets in feds head.
i want to see a fed-djoker slam some day before fed retires.

[jjgold]

I think weather could be a factor today

Anyone know??

Fed wins today! First off at the Australian Open Federer dominated Nadal the 1st set and won it. Then in the 2nd set he made a few errors but Nadal all of a sudden hit 2 or 3 RIDICULOUS passing shots, sie of the best Ive ever seen, and played some of the best tennis of his life and he won. Nadal doesn't hit those 2 shots and he likely loses, they were that big. Fed has a great chance today and is playing great tennis this year. He wins Wimbledon and US Open or both!

why is nadal such a huge favourite then?

[cwbuff44]

what time does it start?

[BrianLaverty]

I hate Isner, but I hope he pulls this out.

[EaglesPhan36]

Indian Wells plays slow, so it favors Nadal. If this was in Dubai where Federer dominated on a quicker surface - it'd be much closer to a pick 'em.

[jjgold]

Nadal /Fed in about 45 minutes

[cwbuff44]

Thanks JJ!

[EaglesPhan36]

Djokovic going down again. Good for the game that he gets saddled with losses.

[jjgold]

Fukkin Isner played out of this fukkin world to win
Could not touch his serve
Great job

[crblahblah]

Isner played terrific and fearless. He was going for winners and being aggressive, which is great to see as opposed to the way people usually play the top dogs. Great win for him.

[BrianLaverty]

Hit Isner live at +1100.... LOVE IT.

[Sport_Fish]

Liking my Nadal bet more now. This should take off a lot of pressure from Nadal now that he doesn't have to worry about facing Djokovic in the finals and I'd think he'll be more hungry to get a win here against Federer.

Nadal /Fed in about 45 minutes

Isner will lose against anyone of them ... both of them know how to play against big servers

Isner beat Federer in clay in the Davis Cup just last month....

[MUHerd37]

Isner is so fukkin tough to beat in a tiebreak. That serve is just took much.

[face]

good for isner, not a fan at all, but what can you do

[EaglesPhan36]

Isner is so fukkin tough to beat in a tiebreak. That serve is just took much.

10-2 this year. Coincidentally the two breakers he lost came in the same match to Lopez in Australia - a loss for Isner.
