Ulver's Tennis Picks

**Ulver86** · 09-30-09, 10:34 PM

also adding

Isner -165

Isner is the new Ivo Karlovic, get out of the way when he serves

**RobbReport** · 09-30-09, 10:47 PM

might play Isner spread with you Ulver.

**GoldRush7** · 09-30-09, 11:03 PM

which one are you most confident about?

**Ulver86** · 09-30-09, 11:18 PM

Robb - the only thing about Isner is he doesn't break serve much, but then again his serve hardly ever gets broken, i think he mentally can wear people down though because it is so futile to try and break his serve

GoldRush -- all plays are 1 unit, although I'm kind of riding Safin here. He's about to retire and I think he is extremely motivated to go out a winner. He just beat PP and he usually beats himself most of the time, but I think you will see him very motivated the rest of the way.

**GoldRush7** · 09-30-09, 11:19 PM

I really like isner especially at that price.. you feel good about it?

**Ulver86** · 09-30-09, 11:23 PM

Isner has gone down to -150 at my other book, I'd take it.

zverev is 5-11 on hard courts this year, perfect fodder for isner

**GoldRush7** · 09-30-09, 11:27 PM

alright man you talked me into it! BOL to us

**makoed** · 10-01-09, 12:48 AM

Isner - Zverev
I think it's better to play OVER 23 here -147 Pinnacle
Radwanska - Rybarikova
I'll take Rybarikova spread (+3) +110 Pinnacle

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 02:18 AM

Isner takes first set in the tiebreak

your over is looking good too makoed

**GoldRush7** · 10-01-09, 02:24 AM

he just broke zverev early in the 2nd set too!

**GoldRush7** · 10-01-09, 02:52 AM

**RobbReport** · 10-01-09, 02:53 AM

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 02:54 AM

benesova fighting hard, getting my money's worth out of +550

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 05:01 AM

bleh, safin only gets broken once but thats enough, and Azarenka completely falls apart in the 1st set after being up 2 breaks and has lost 9 of the last 10 games,

**RobbReport** · 10-01-09, 08:17 AM

never ever taking Tsonga again, **** that guy.

**RobbReport** · 10-01-09, 08:46 AM

not another shootout God kill me now!

take that back

hit a nice parlay thanks to him.

gotta give it to Gulbis though, he had that match in the bag.

**GoldRush7** · 10-01-09, 10:27 AM

tsonga has killed me a few times in parlays... i am one that will never bet on that man again

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 04:25 PM

will post some plays later tonight

and yea, i imagine anyone who took Tsonga was having heart spasms

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 06:44 PM

Gilles Simon -300 (3u)

Simon has the pedigree, if he loses this its because of retirement (he has had knee problems) but he rested for a month after the US open. Should be an easy contest

Berdych +220

Can't ignore Berdych at these odds. Soderling has had a great year, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This is a no play or take the upset with Berdych..

Gasquet +210

Another guy I can't stay away from. With his talent he should only be +200 against top tier players. Verdasco is solid but I don't see him staying in the top 10 for very long.

no women's tennis, bad odds for now, plus i'm tired of little girls who can't hold serve, lol

edit: taking Gonzo off the board, head to head history concerns me, adding units to Simon

**RobbReport** · 10-01-09, 07:05 PM

Men's tennis has been more scary for me. Gonzo was cutting it close, although I knew he would win. Tsonga self-explanatory and Gasquet had a hard time yesterday with Johannsen's serve.

thank God they all won but damn it was stressful.

**Ulver86** · 10-01-09, 09:40 PM

edits made to tonights pick

also taking Na Li @ +160 for .5u

**Ulver86** · 10-02-09, 06:15 AM

well simon wins by the skin of his teeth, but a wins a win

**GoldRush7** · 10-02-09, 07:00 AM

im going with verdasco and isner this morning BOL Ulver

**Ulver86** · 10-02-09, 09:22 PM

Simon -170

I'm riding him the rest of the way, it's his tournament to lose - I think he beats Tsonga in the finals

Soderling -220

He's beat Davydenko the last 4 times they've played each other, and seems to have the guy's number. Not to mention he's been playing lights out tennis recently.

Not playing the others, bol to you all.

parlay?

**Ulver86** · 10-02-09, 09:50 PM

sure, playing them separate though, but a small wager on a parlay of them isn't a bad idea

**Ulver86** · 10-02-09, 10:00 PM

adding

Sharapova -105 (.5u)

small play hear but a gut feeling that this is Maria's tourney

**Ulver86** · 10-03-09, 01:56 AM

Simon takes first set, Soderling up a break

**RobbReport** · 10-03-09, 03:44 AM

bullshit...

**Ulver86** · 10-03-09, 10:50 AM

Soderling up 4-3 in second set and up a break, proceeds to take a shit the rest of the match

**RobbReport** · 10-03-09, 03:41 PM

I made a grip this week off tennis ,then gave it all back with soderling. I have to think shit thru.

**Ulver86** · 10-03-09, 04:05 PM

he just fell apart after being up that break at 4-3, seemed to be cruising to victory..... bleh

will take Simon in the finals tonight, surprised that its Troicki but i would have taken him over tsonga anyway

**Ulver86** · 10-03-09, 07:10 PM

Gilles Simon -210 (3 units)

like i said, Simon wins the tourney here, and you can always feel confident that Simon will not fade mentally or not fight, hes a scrappy player a la Michael Chang of the 90's

bol to all
