What do you think? I don't think Haas can out work Nieminen, he's getting older and he'll be tired down the stretch. I'm giving this one to Nieminen in a thrilling 4 or 5 set match.

What do you think??

[DoubleRedDragon]

Also Haas is 3-1 against Nieminen but yeah, stop me from losing some money, tell me what's up with this play

[ProbablyNotSeth]

I think the over 38.5 is the safest bet if you think it is going to go a long 4 or 5 sets

If it goes 5 sets that is automatically 30 games (if it only takes 6 & not 7), so it seems like the losers of each set could pull out that other 8.5

[DoubleRedDragon]

Thank you, I like that.

Nieminen can win yeah, but I don't know whether he will. If his first serves hit , then maybe. His 2nd serve is shjet. He is always on a roll when the season has only just started, so he might win this one. Def not 3-0 though. I wouldn't bet on this game =D

[DoubleRedDragon]

Yeah I hear that hah... I just watched Haas recently and he didn't look great down the stretch. I just like him to lose when the sets go on but I hear you, maybe there's more value elsewhere

It's really not that hot. It's only 84 degrees. The hot day is Thursday (Australia Thursday) where temps will be near 100.

[DoubleRedDragon]

I see okay... well I think Nieminen may give Haas some trouble here... maybe 3-1 victory for Haas with 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-4 victory to put it over 39

[DoubleRedDragon]

I put $5 on Nieminen +700 winning 3-2 and we'll see about this over, threw down a few times more than that lol.. i agree it's not the most exciting match

Nieminen is the weaker physical player of the two. If the heat effects anyone, it'd probably be the Fin. He has a bad history here and there of quitting in Australia.

It's warm today ... two days from now, the heat will be a factor. Going to be close to 100 degrees on Thursday in Melbourne.
