Gotta fade Shapalov today, right?

Hardcoar · 08-11-17, 04:03 PM

Of course not. He's the golden boy hometown kid who cannot possibly lose, ever. The mere fact that he's won his previous matches prove this, once and for all!

I would have been huge on the ML @ 1.6 if it weren't for the fact that Mannarino is not playing very well at all. Nadal was shit, Raonic was shit, Shapovalov was slightly less shit than both, and Mannarino just above Raonic. Tennis is just at an all-time low at the moment. Then again, betting options are always relative, so that applies to both of the players...

Ended up going for 2-1 @ 4.5, medium stakes. I'd much rather bet on the Frenchman at these odds than the kid.

Manna is pretty good, could be a rout.

Snowball · 08-11-17, 04:15 PM

they are both playing very well
very similar physiques and abilities

i think mannarino is overpriced
he is still just mannarino

Hardcoar · 08-11-17, 04:20 PM

Yeah, I promptly get reminded of why I stopped visiting this forum every time i check in...

man the line moved so much against Shapalov...the kid has pretty nice serve. I think im gonna throw a dart and play Shapalov here. Got him @ +157

Had a good feeling Rafa would tank, he doesnt like to face Roger in smaller tourneys before a major, likes to face him when he's in his best form and not give any psych edges away.

Mannarino can beat himself sometimes he not motivated to play

jtoler · 08-11-17, 05:42 PM

Mannorino is too good for Shap who has a weak backhand.

jtoler · 08-11-17, 05:48 PM

Manno has blistering forehands.

jtoler · 08-11-17, 07:35 PM

the french being french

Glad I stayed away from that match, ups and downs from both players.

slayer14 · 08-11-17, 08:07 PM

Mannarino is not really a top standard player he more of a journeyman standard player that earns a living on the atp tour by winning 2 or 3 matches every tournament like that retired french player Cedric Pioline

Shapo ranking now 66! From 143 before tourney~~

It's a toss-up for me. I thought Zverev would have run out of luck but he came through against Anderson yesterday. Shapalov looked spooked early on yesterday. If he does that against Zverev he won't be able to recover like he did against Mannarino.

I'm passing again today, though I would pick Shapovalov if I had to make a choice. +4.5 seems too much against a lefty big server.

jtoler · 08-12-17, 04:19 PM

Shap definitely goes down today hope Zev can beat Fed, winning back to back tourneys doesnt happen all that often.

Conqueror · 08-12-17, 05:10 PM

Zverev -1.5 sets moved from -175 to -170. Don't know what the line is at right now. I think Shapovalov will "miraculously" win a set in this game.

Federer/Zverev will be a good game to watch. I think Federer will win with at least one set decided in a tie-break.

gonna throw dart at shapalov @ +400....one play will be gasses today...hopefully itll be zverev
