    Karshi x2

    [Parlay] Lajovic + Kunitsyn [-105]
    Both have controlled their opponents early in this tournament with steady and tough serving. Lajovic is still a little raw on this surface, but not as raw overall as his opponent from Belarus who has just a couple handfuls of matches on the Challenger level in his young career. Lajovic is better on clay, but he's played this tournament two years in a row and is in hot form. Kunitsyn might do well to remain @ this level vs. floating up to the ATP level where he struggles for form. Diez, the Canadian opponent, is another greenhorn. He's not a total wanker, but this is a big step up in competition for him and he'll have to serve much better to stay in this match. Both matches start @ 12:30am ET. Hot & toasty in Uzbekistan for this Challenger.

    Degenerate. Only kidding. Betting tennis is hard enough as it is, and I give you props for actually following challengers and capping them. G'luck.

    Usually good early and late to look @ Challenger tourneys. You get your fades/follows from the prior week and then you get the form as the tourney goes. Middle like yesterday didn't show much in the way of good plays.

    Sometimes these are tons better to try than the main level because desire isn't usually a quesrtion with players playing for meal money and travel expenses. Of course you have to watch out for the greaseballs who duck down for cheap wins and cash too as your potential cheats i.e. Hanescu, Volandri and some others.

    And other days these kick your ass like the rest.

    That was disgusting. Kunitsyn won easy. Lajovic got crushed in straights.

    I'm gonna ride with the Russian tonight. Guy doesn't seem to be nervous at all. W-u is up tonight. He has been laboring through three setters the last two rounds and his serve has been prone to being broken multiple times.

    Think you meant to +120. 40 cents is all I saw from +160 to +120. Challengers often have big swings @ 5D. I don't read much into it other than either someone laid down a big bet or they are adjusting the line to the action.

    Yeah was nice to wake up to this. Fell asleep @ 1-1 in the 2nd. Russian v. Belarusian final. For some reason I thought our dude was Russian. Name sounds Russian.
