    Solid pick but again the tank word is one of my pet peeves. It undermines the other player and Kohlschreiber deserves credit for playing well. Say what you will but all the top guys have off days - saying it is tanking I think iws mostly incorrect. It doesnt undermine a great value pick like this but I just hate the word.

    Got nothing but respect for you on that pick. I wish I had the balls to have tailed it. Kohl is now 1-8 lifetime against Nadal.

    Thx all. EP- perhaps tanking isnt the correct term. I think we both agree that 'value' is more appropriate

    Yeah and I used that one in reference - another term I hate.


    I think your reference to "situational" is spot on. If it was Rafa vs. Kubot instead of Kohlschreiber, I am guessing you would not have made the play and it would have made less sense than to go with the homestanding defending Champ.

    wow what a hit....i contemplated it, but need to grow balls to fade these top guns in these 250 events.

    Anyone who faded the top 10 players this week has made a fortune

    I'm not saying had the balls because I most certainly did not, but after all the absurd lines with Rafael last week and the Roland garros victory under his belt, and the too-good-to-be-true price of -700 or so, this match screamed letdown.

    if anyone wants to observe a player not giving it 100% just cause he doesn't feel like it, turn on berdych-haas. berdych completely disinterested and just wants to leave

    questionable motivation for a lot of the "top" players this week.

    stosur lost yesterday to flipkens as a -900 fav
    federer went down in straights to haas, also as a -900 fav
    kvitotva about to be beaten in straights by makarova. -550.

    tennis = goldmine if you're a fish like me

    I dont think Federer was anything to do with motivation. If that was the case, he would have packed it up early in the week. He got beat by someone who was just having one of those great runs. Not like he got blown out or something.
