French Open Quarters
Been a while since I've had the time to post some picks/info here.
Women's QF's:
Maria Sharapova -120 for 1 unit WSEX.
I must confess a little trepidation on this play as Sharapova is still not 100% healthy but so much of women's tennis comes down to who has the bigger balls on the tight points. There is a reason Martina Navratilova won so many grand slams. At -120 the price is simply too good to take in what the stats (for the tournament) would say is a fairly close matchup.
Men's QF's:
Fernando Gonzalez +150 for 1 unit WSEX.
I actually unloaded on this but I want to quote currently available prices. I have a total of 4 units on Gonzo here. I don't expect a mental collapse by either player but I cannot justify making Murray a favorite on clay. He simply does not have the pedigree to lay -150 here.
Nicolay Davydenko -190 for 1 unit WSEX.
Nadal was tired. Soderling has just won the match of his life. There is no way you can convince me that mentally he isn't ready to roll over and smoke a cigarette.
A lot of places don't have prices yet but for tomorrow I will be on Federer (Monfils is out of his depth unless Federer was exhausted by Haas), Robredo (the price strikes me as a joke, I expect to have 4 units on Robredo by match time), and Stosur (although I do have a great deal of respect for Cirstea).
Good luck to all of you.

Well Soderling isn't as bad in comparison, he does have a chance here but it gets all psychological at this stage. Neither Soderling or Davydenko expected to be here, well maybe Davy deep down thought he had an outside chance. Davy is the more proven player but Soderling may have that self belief that he'll upset the odds till the very end.
