    Williams vs. Radwanska

    What do you guys think?
    I mean yes, Radwanska is a descent player, but Williams rated as a +159 dog right now at pinnacle? For me, she is def. not the dog here. Williams is physically getting back into shape, and has a 5:1 record against Radwanska. Plus, match is on hardcourt, which should be an advantage for Williams here, as it is, that the play is in Miami USA. Radwanska Nr. 4 right now, but a fit Williams would dominate her everytime, everyday. Radwanska just doesn't have the class and brutal power and mental strength Williams has.
    For me @ this price def. worth a shot, putting out 5/10 units here.

    I am just looking at this match, look at the h2h record and rads record against big hitters and it looks like a great number on Venus .Venus suffers from Sjorgens syndrome and you really have to wonder who will show up here, the Venus who looked so sluggish and horrible against Wozniak or the Venus who dominated Ana in the last 2 sets?

    I thought Serena was money in the bank tonight against Woz so who knows with the Williams but the articles I read about Venus is she really desires the Olympics this year and is day to day with her illness. Tough call but I lean Venus here.

    I wish it was at night when the heat wouldn't come into play as much, but another thing to consider - likely Azarenka potentially in the final - does AgRad want to get railed by Azarenka AGAIN?


    I think Venus or nothing for me. Of course dogs I like this week have been shit, so Radwanksa probably cruises.

    Yeah, Serena was looking pretty bad against Woz. Glad i didn't touch this one.
    Yes, heat could be a factor in this one. Absolutely. But I saw Venus vs. Ivanovic and she was fighting, she was apparently fit and absolutely dominant. Looked pretty good to me. Don't want to underestimate Radwanska, maybe even 5/10 is a little too much (cause it's the damn WTA) but I am pretty confident in this one right now and felt like logging it in right now, as long as the line is where it is.

    Radwanska is a damn good player. Venus got lucky to beat Wozniack in 3 sets and then played 3 sets against Ivanovic. She's gotta be getting tired. Her last 3 matches have gone 3 sets and she isn't in match shape. Radwanska is 8-2 in her last 10 and her 3 matches her have been cake walks. I'm staying away from this one.

    venus wasn't convincing at all against ivanovic

    Rad should win in 2 sets. Venus will be tired and if she loses the first set she will fold.

    My advise for Venus: Keep groaning and moaning as loud as you can every time you hit the ball, as Radwanska really HATES this like she always tells us...

    Wow... can't believe how little respect Radwanska is getting on here. Some of you guys really don't have a clue about tennis.... Venus is mentally tougher then Radwanska? Maybe 5 years ago... not now.

    Definitely not disrespecting Radwanska in any way. But there is a reason why Radwanska never got further than a quarter final in Grand Slams....

    Williams looks a bit tired, only 3-2 in the 1st set.

    And what exactly has Venus proved any time recently?

    She hasn't won a tournament since Acapulco in February of 2010.

    This is the most matches she's played in a tournament since the US Open in 2010.

    Radwanska is a warrior on the court and she's one of the more consistent players on the tour right now...

    It amazes me that Radwanska was only -175 ish to open... and it amazes me that people would actually take Venus as that small of a dog.

    Dude, no one forces you to read OR even post anything here. My opinion, my thread, my gone money. And be reassured, that i can easily cope a loss of 5 units (which btw. I said before, was too much for this game, half of it would have been ok). No need to be patronizing anyone here. But I guess ur the man, as I watch your poncey way of writing here Hope your bankroll confirms this way of behaving....

    Good for you, so does mine. And I am saying this without disrespecting you or anything: I appreciate every opinion in my thread! But it's just the tone in which it is said. I have absolutely no problem at all, to admit, that this call was obviously a bad one. Guess such things do happen, don't they? Let's just make money on the next one

    Nice hit on Bayern zizo and keep posting tennis. I had +3.5 williams and I hate losing but I got a good number and nobody knew which Venus was going to show up. The Venus that just beat Kvitova four days ago (who has dominated Radwnaska) and stormed back against Ivanovic and owns a 5-1 h2h (now 5-2 after today) against Radwanska and just dominated her here in Miami in 2010, or the Venus that looked so lethargic against Wozniak and just seems to have no energy at times.

    We know which Venus showed up today, that sjorgens syndrome she suffers from is really a mess. It makes it almost impossible to wager on her, even during the olympics. She is just so unpredictable day to day, she looked dead out there from the start of the match.
