    About 75% sure Kvitova or Tsonga (or both!) lose today

    I've been watching and waiting for these two to make it deep enough in their respective tournaments to pick them off and promptly fade them. I feel more confident on Kvitova putting up a stinker. I watched all of her matches as of late, and at this particular tournament, she's straight up dogging it. Had she not played a shitty qualifier yesterday, I think she'd be on the way to Queens already. Safarova looked impressive against Zheng, hitting winners from both sides of the racquet along with getting deep enough returns to trouble her opponent. Same story here on the men's side in Winston Salem. Granollers has shown me enough in Toronto & here that he is decently proficient on hard courts. I expect Isner to take the title in his home state, and now is the time to fade his only real obstacle in getting there in Tsonga.

    2 plays:

    Safarova +190 [1.5 units]
    Granollers +315 [1 unit]

    BOL to any who tail

    Granollers is fun to watch. Played him last two matches. Don't know if I can do it today, but good luck!

    I really don't see how Kvitova loses. She has been playing very well.Also Tsonga is not going to fold. He should get past Granollers unless he gets injured.I guess as long as at least one hits your good though. I would say goo luck but I'm betting on both.lol. No offense.

    Yea I gotta admit he's sorta fun to watch, he doesnt have much technique but he goes to net and really fights for every point but his grunting.... it's sort of ridiculous

    His grunt sounds like a disapointed grunt every time. He makes a noise like he mishit the ball every time.

    Or maybe I'm thinking of Darcis.

    No, that's Granollers.

    Decided to take Granollers on the set handicap at +1.5 @ +120 instead of straight up. 1u.

    Can't bet against either of those players today. Maybe deeper in the tourny but not now. Kvitova should destroy Safarova tonight

    Granollers about to get bagels. Maybe he retires

    I kind of like this as an exit point for Tsonga. Dominated the first, now a couple of 4-6 losses and he is warm and in form for Flushing Meadows. No Nadal, and a struggling Djoker are the pull to get some rest.

    Miracle?

    Granollers barely showed up. Haven't seen a shittier performance in 2012. Tsonga is playing well, but there are double faults and UEs everywhere. Agree with you that he could make a run at the Open.

    I'm not going to make it, but if you want to grab a beer I live in Queens.

    Looks like 0/2. Cold heading into the open, not good.

    Pharoah: fri/sat next week. Beers on me in forest hills.
