Safina won't die. It's gonna go to a tie break likely, maybe she'll finally do us a favor & choke. James Blake is done. C'mon dude, get a set off Robredo - American pride putz!
Then Safina holds. Yisman, if Safina holds on to win the match, do you think Wickmayer will be the one to break through and beat Safina finally? I don't understand how she keeps doing this. She loses the first set as if she doesnt care and then flips on a switch to go and win the match.
I'm taking her. That price is too fat for me to pass up. Pennetta certainly has been on the upswing this summer, but Zvonareva may be as good as she's been since returning from her injury. Pennetta has been a machine at the Open, but this is a certain step up and Zvonareva if she has any guts at all has to remember getting her ass kicked last month by Pennetta. Pretty simple formula I think too, Zvonareva has to get her first serve in and win points off it. If she has to rely on her 2nd serve, Pennetta eats her alive.
Public is pounding Pennetta, she's out to -180 now.
Isner is meat. Broken in the 3rd, can't do dick with Verdasco's serve and tactically, he's playing pretty stupidly. Verdasco should finish him out here to go up 2-1 and I think finishes him in 4.
You knew Djokovic was going to quit on the last point. I mean seriously I think Djokovic earned back some props today by playing hard all the way. Federer hit some ridiculous shit out there and got a few lucky ones too, but Djokovic kept a smile on and kept playing. Federer is going to be a huge favorite tomorrow, still think DelPo can push him - but WTF do I know.
And yes, Djokovic acquitted himself nicely. He did not give up. He kept playing and Roger got a few lucky breaks and bounces, otherwise there was going to be at least one more set.
saw it. I was going to pick Maria in a parlay tonight but she's been a slow starter and the 3 hour match may have taken a huge toll. Might have to fade her.
