GOnzo's forehand is looking great as always.Murray having trouble with it

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 09:50 AM

break for cibulkova. Not looking good for sharapova.Geez
Wonder if she will even win a game

**SBR Lou** · 06-02-09, 09:56 AM

She'll be fine.

That is the only accurate statement for the day. She's toast on the court.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 10:08 AM

6-0 5-0 about to be a double bagel. Unbelievable. Why even show up Maria. What a joke

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 10:10 AM

Murray down one set to none now as well.This day is sure turning bad.Gonzalez looks fine to me.Maybe he will wear down later in the match

I didn't think she would be this bad Stacco, but there was going to be a time in this tournament when her luck ran out. She's been living on borrowed time in this tournament with her inconsistent play. I really didn't think Cibulkova was going to be the one to get her though. I thought Safina would be the one in the semis.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 10:20 AM

5-2 now. 2 games in a row for Maria.Could this be the biggest comeback ever in womens tennis from 6-0 5-0 haha

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 10:29 AM

Sharapova loses 6-0 6-2. What a waste

She had a breakpoint too in the last game.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 11:47 AM

Murray goes down to the "injured" Gonzalez in four sets.As stated above I liked gonzalez until I heard about the injury so I flipped to murray and that came back to bite me in the ass.Hopefully you guys made some money today at least

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-09, 11:51 AM

Feel your pain Stacco. I've been on that side before too where I let extraneous info effect my selection. I decided to say F it today with Gonzalez because outside of people who said they heard this or that on a possible virus or whatever with Gonzo, I did not see one single story in print on it and figured it was worth the risk because Gonzo had the decided edge for me over Murray on this surface. You'll get 'em tomorrow!

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 12:14 PM

Eaglesphan who do you like tomorrow?I am thinking of parlaying Del Potro/Federer/Williams/stosur

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-09, 12:21 PM

Not sure. I was a big supporter of Kuznetsova coming out of that bracket because she had some solid form on clay this Spring, but Serena owns her and I remember Kuznetsova cracking at the Australian Open when she had Serena on the ropes in January. Kuzy has actually had better history here at RG than Serena. Lot of people won't realize this is her 4th straight QF at the French. I still think I might take a shot with my original pick of Kuznetsova here, but I'll wait to let people drive her into plus money. Saw her at -105 at Bookmaker. Public should be all over Serena I would think.

Not sure about the others. I really didn't think Stosur would keep playing as well as she did, so I probably will pass on that one. Federer-Monfils ... only way I could take Fed is in a parlay, that price as you outlined is not consistent with his play here. Gonna think some more.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-09, 06:49 PM

I'm having second thoughts about stosur as well. Might take that off the parlay card.I like the other three though

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 12:13 AM

Plays for tomorrow :

Roger Federer -300 over Monfils

Stosur -144 over Cristea

Best of luck tomorrow guys

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 01:02 AM

Monfils and Federer have played 4 times head to head. 4-0 Federer. Last two matches were on clay. Monfils has only won one set off Federer in those four matches they have played.
Federer motivated to win the French Open.Might be his last chance to get it.
Gotta like Federer here especially at a relatively decent -300

Stosur is a play that I am getting off RogueScholar.Tennis Insights experts have this match at 18-2 for Stosur or something crazy like that.Seems like a play that everyone is agreeing on.I'll put a little sprinkle on it for some action in the morning

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 07:40 AM

Good start for Stosur 6-1 in the first set
Serena down two breaks in the first set but she got one back.Still down
Glad I didn't pick Serena.I was thinking about it

**"Sic"** · 06-03-09, 07:52 AM

Serena about to take the first set after trailing 0-3...****

**"Sic"** · 06-03-09, 07:54 AM

pathetic...Kuzzy is straight scared

**"Sic"** · 06-03-09, 08:06 AM

wheew and Kuzzy takes firsts et in a tie break...Also on Stosur -1.5 sets +160...got the fingers crossed

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 08:06 AM

Serena gets killed in the tiebreaker. This match is definately going three sets.In the third who knows what will happen

**xxdjstriderxx** · 06-03-09, 08:15 AM

are you sure about 3 sets................serena getting WORKED.

**"Sic"** · 06-03-09, 08:18 AM

3-0 second set...hell yea...lovin it...Also was on Stosur +160 -1.5..today might actually be profittable

**xxdjstriderxx** · 06-03-09, 08:25 AM

sic tell me where the **** you got stosur at + odds????

**"Sic"** · 06-03-09, 08:29 AM

-1.5 sets pay attention

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 08:38 AM

gsm Stosur. Congrats to those that backed her.Glad I decided to tail this pick. Now get Federer on that court now
Serena breaks back here.Not surprising. She will take this second set

**xxdjstriderxx** · 06-03-09, 08:41 AM

if serena takes this second set she will take the game.
just got word that nike offered kuznetsova 2M to take the loss

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 08:50 AM

Kuz is one of the more corrupt players on tour.Her matches are always suspicious

**xxdjstriderxx** · 06-03-09, 08:52 AM

the bank wire nike is sending her right now is making her mentally tired thinking about sunbathing in the Caribbean.

**xxdjstriderxx** · 06-03-09, 08:53 AM

kuz is out of gas.

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 08:54 AM

break serena. BIg surprise
Those people that backed Kuz at 1.16 serving for the match are pretty happy right now I am sure (-625)

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 08:56 AM

Federer on court warming up.Will start soon

**Stacocakes** · 06-03-09, 09:20 AM

And serena takes the second set.WHat did I tell you guys
LOoks like Kuz is gone.Down a break in the third.WHo knows what will happen though since it is the wta

She's not corrupt man, she just doesn't know how to close out a match against a quality player in a big tournament. It's not like she loses to +2000000 underdogs in the first round or something.
