significant LM toward Clijsters.
she was +175 yesterday, now +145
Sharapova has fallen from -200's to -165.
bettors are thinking about Sharapova's 3-set match
which was a long one yesterday, whereas Clijsters
has been 2-setting her competition.
But we all remember how Lisicki kind of has Maria's number.
She beat Maria at Wimbledon, so yesterday's comeback
by Sharapova was HUGE for her confidence.
There's possibly also some nostalgia in play as Kim is
finishing her career at the US Open.
I have been backing both of these players and seriously
thought about taking Kim at +175, but couldn't pull the trigger,
not against Maria. These two have not faced one another in
2 years, and before that it was another 3 years. The string of
early wins for Clijsters were against a 16-17 yr old Maria.
Never on Grass, all on Hard.
Both are power hitters.
tough game to call and that's why nobody's talking about it
here. it feels hard to root against Clijsters. but the process
of reversal tells me that if I won't take her against MS
perhaps I should bet MS.
I decided to make a large bet on Sharapova with the Red Sox.
Lester is pitching at Fenway against the Twins. I had the Tigers
last night in the W at Fenway, but Boston shouldn't have difficulty
tonight.
It pays +147 and I see value there.
Clijsters scares me but this line drop makes MS too tasty to refuse
hopefully she's fresh today.
