Ulver's Tennis Picks

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 02:03 AM

not as bad as Kohlschreiber played today, losing 1-6, 0-6 to davydenko, there's a miserable performance

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 02:07 AM

late post

Guillermo Lopez +155

Monaco is the favorite because of his name, but on the hard courts this match is a virtual toss up, taking the odds with Lopez -- also Monaco is 2-6 in ATP hard court tournaments

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 02:09 AM

ok i'll jump on it. Damn Line closed lopez looks good also

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 02:19 AM

I take that back lol

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 02:22 AM

GGL already has 3 huge mishits off the frame of his racket, obviously not seeing the ball well or something

its' early though, and Monaco plays clay all year, don't expect him to dominate on this surface

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 02:28 AM

Monaco is floating out there. he's looking really good. This is looking into a shutout

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 02:30 AM

lol this match could be over in 30 minutes, GGL is having a mishit off the frame every other point it seems like

never seen this many mishits in pro tennis before

hes got the trainer! retire for me please!

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 02:32 AM

RETIRE!!!

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 02:40 AM

New to betting Tennis, so if a guy retires, the bet don't count?

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 05:57 AM

You're right Peng pulled the upset in 2 sets

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 07:52 AM

yea mara, no action if a guy retires

also depends on your book, some count action after 1 or 2 sets, check your house rules

marabdl86 · 10-07-09, 08:42 AM

Not a good day for picks on Tennis.

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 04:37 PM

nah, just the Peng upset which had some great value at +395

will be posting tonight's picks shortly

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 04:55 PM

Nadal -340 (2u)

I played this line yesterday when it came out, now the line is hovering around 400 or so, you can still take Nadal, but maybe consider a 1.5u or 1u play - fading Blake is a very profitable play in general, especially in tournaments outside the US, where he has been abysmal throughout his career- and as a rule, I love betting Nadal because he is the most COMPETITIVE player in tennis, I have never seen him give up or not play 100% on every point, something you have to admire

Ljubicic -220 (1u)

An old guy, but still a very game old guy. He plays best on hard courts, as demonstrated by his upset of PHM. Kubot just came off a big win vs Roddick. This should be attributed more to lackluster play from Roddick than outstanding play from Kubot. Kubot's not a young up and comer, hes 27 more or less is what he is. Kubot is more of a doubles and clay player, and should bow out here after the upset of his career.

--- more to come later

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 05:57 PM

Melzer -325 (1u)

Another fade of a person coming off a huge victory, Vasselin has never found success on the ATP circuit and for good reason. He's just not that good. His victory over DelPo is a fluke, a result of knee problems by Delpo. Also, Melzer has been hot lately, playing well last tournament in Thailand.

Simon -155 (2u)

Still on the Simon train. At first glance this might appear to be a trap. Youhzny is 3-0 vs Simon. However, his success came when Simon was purely a defensive player. Now Simon has a serve. In his past matches, Simon has had fewer than 3 aces and lacked offensive firepower in his game that he now has. He has been playing top notch lately and has been mentally sound, the same mental toughness can not be said for Youhzny.

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 06:14 PM

leaning Gasquet +155

no play yet, but Tsonga has been getting in to 1 too many tiebreakers lately

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 07:48 PM

Santoro +450 (.5u)

value play here, they are 2-2 head to head but last match is in 2004, no way Hewitt should be such a big fav.

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 11:23 PM

Ljub and Santoro take the 1st sets

soxwin1917 · 10-07-09, 11:27 PM

moses millsap · 10-07-09, 11:36 PM

fabrice is cooked now imo unfortunately, i dont know if i can lay that kind of chalk with a headcase like jurgen

Ulver86 · 10-07-09, 11:40 PM

never count out the magician

i dont blame you on melzer, most of that play is coming from his play of late which has been very solid

moses millsap · 10-07-09, 11:40 PM

hope he comes thru as i got him too, but big dogs keep letting me down in 3rd set lately

ljubo with the break in the 2nd

moses millsap · 10-07-09, 11:50 PM

santoro broken as he can't make the simple volley

BIG · 10-07-09, 11:56 PM

marabdl86 · 10-08-09, 12:00 AM

On Nadal big, Gasket small

moses millsap · 10-08-09, 12:01 AM

ljubicic from 4-3 30-0 to 4-6, broken back to back, this old **** is probably going to get raped in the 3rd set too

Ulver86 · 10-08-09, 12:03 AM

i see this, no stream just a scoreboard of that match, wondering what the **** his deal is, the guy he's playing is a clay court and doubles player typically, dunno wtf this crap is

BIG · 10-08-09, 12:08 AM

moses millsap · 10-08-09, 12:12 AM
