Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic

[bigdog3580]

We know Federer is going to win at -450

But how about Federer NOT winning 3-0 for -165. I think Djokovic can win at least one set, cant he???

Anyone else like that bet and odds?

[tabarnak]

I think it's good, I like it.

You would like to think Djokovic could take a set, and at that price it seems pretty good.

He'll probably win, but one of these days Novak has to show up in top form and act the part of an elite player.

It looks good on paper, but if Fed gets off to a good start it will be a dogfight for Novak to stay in the match. Federer will have a much easier time holding serve, and figures to have more chances to break.

5 of 8 of Roger's wins against Novak have been in straights (3 of these 5 being in best of 5 tournaments). So far Fed has dropped one to Lleyton and one to Soderling. Here is what he has dropped in the open the past 4 years:

2008 - 2 to andreev, 1 to novak
2007 - 1 to isner, 1 to lopez, 0 to novak
2006 - 1 to blake, 1 to roddick
2005 - 1 to keifer, 1 to hewitt, 1 to agasi

We are talking an average of 2.5 sets dropped per US Open.

Though I do believe Novak is improving and Federer is losing more simply b/c people have played him more often, I don't think I would pay more than -110 for Fed in more than 3 sets. He sometimes mixes his game when he plays opponents out of the top 20, that is not the case here and I would expect him to bear down on Novak here.

Just my $.02

He has beaten him twice this year. DJ win it all. Fed loses tomorrow.

I say fed 3-1

[yisman]

I would take Djokovic to win a set.

I'm taking Djokovic to win, simply because he has the ability to do so.

He likely won't win, but it's worth a shot in my opinion.

Yisman he can win this.

Well, it looks like most of us agree that Djokovic should be able to win 1 set , and maybe even win the match.
Lets hope we are right and make some dough in the process.

Lou..pick a side. We can't have a fence sitter on this wager.
We need you to be on Djokovic to win at least one set so we can feel better.

Lol, I think Federer advances but he can win in 4 as easily as 3. I don't think it goes the distance.

[EaglesPhan36]

Over 38 games I like in this one. Djokovic will make Fed work, but will fail I believe in the end in 4. Would like to see 5.

: This is the closest thing I can find to a fence.

Teeter-Tooter..pick a side.

The whole key to losing this bet was after Novak broke Roger in the 1st set, Novak then got broke back. I knew we were probally done right there.
