    Brian Baker

    Don't look at him beating Kukushkin today, he beat Monfils yesterday and today Monfils just withdrew from the FO

    Can't believe he withdrew. He is one of my favorite players to watch.

    Sorry Monfils withdrew for ya D!! I know how much you like him. Baker loses today IMO. On Bovada, Purple Kush went from +140 to +115 now. Looks like people are figuring this match out maybe..........

    Sorry if you lost, guys. I knew this line was too fishy, so I didn't bet on this match.

    The Kush just wasn't strong enough today. Hopefully the next sack will be a lot better

    Kush had 5 points where he could have been serving for match or winning the match if he won the point. You were on the right side. Luck just wasnt with you.

    I don't think that the Russian is on the take again. He's giving 100%. Baker is just way better than everyone thinks.

    A lot of people don't realize how good Baker could have been before injuries and other issues slowed his progress. It's been a great week for the guy, and he certainly has the talent to play in more ATP events annually. I hope to see more of the guy in the near future, but as soon as he costs me money by upsetting one of the top players, I won't want to look at him again. haha.

    Baker is serving to win the second set, but they stopped because Davy was getting his hand checked out ... The vet could also be wearing down a little.

    I didn't even bet it ... just watching parts of it to see whether I should back Almagro tomorrow. But you're right. This is going to be close to a three-hour match, and it'll only last three sets. I can't wait until those five-hour matches next week when lots of money will be on the line ...

    What a painful game to watch...this is more of a break-fest than a WTA match.

    Baker up a break in the third. Baker's been playing three setters pretty much the whole tourney. As much as I've been backing this guy whole tourney, think it might be fade time tomorrow against Almagro if he wins.

    Almagro crushed Simon today and won Nice last year. Seems like he's more interested in defending his title this week than making a deep run next week. But it's not like Almagro won't have a day off between his first three or four matches in the FO if he gets that far, and he's played nothing but two-setters this week ... so it may not have much of an effect.

    Baker is oviously auto-fade against Almagro but price will be pretty ridiculous.

    Davy was in good form this week, but after beating Isner, he used up everything he had. This guy could barely breath today against Baker.
