I was on Nishi and thought he was sunk many times. I re-upped after the second set only to see him give up that tiebreak in the 3rd, I thought I was screwed. I guess I don't have the mental fortitude these players do. I need a coach to work on my mental game while watching my wagers.
Didn't look like a fix to me but rather just a bad loss.
Kichenok was playing pretty bad and moon balling a lot. When she was down 40-0, she loosened up and just started smashing winners from everywhere and got lucky. Quite a few match points she managed to hit winners that clipped the line.
The half man, half rat creature getting bageled is real nice.
On odds portal, they closed down the match on most of the sites a couple hours beforhand. I checked the book I was using(Bovada) and the line was down. Something definately was up. Maybe it was a you 3 set rig job where they try for real on the last set. All I know is something was going down
I'm really enjoying this. No finger to the mouth shhhh gestures tonight, huh Errani?
I wasn't reffering to the point she was 40-0 and 5-2 up, I was referring to any point in the game regardless of the score, she was bound to choke at some point Marillion, doesn't matter what the score was. She kept arguing with the chair and line judges all day for balls that were obviously in or out. My point is she was not well (as per her tweet claiming jet lag) and even she were well, she is a mental midget. I've seen her play so many times, I've seen her frak up a 40-0 service game or a comfortable lead so many times. She IS a choker. She was 4-2 up in the first set, gave the first set away. She was 5-2 up in the third, gave that away too. It's not unseen in Cagla's games or WTA tour for that matter (e.g. Bencic-Peng yesterday, Bencic almost gave away a 40-0 service game), actually it's very common in the lower ranks and ITF. I've seen players coming back from a 5 game deficit and win the set (or lose the set in tie break 7-0) a lot. If you follow and bet on ITF women and WTA challengers as much as I do, you'd be shocked at some results.
Now Lyudmyla Kichenok is about to lose to Misa Eguchi 6-0 6-1. that's the same Misa Eguchi who played Cagla 2 weeks ago in USO qualies and came back "twice" to win the sets 7-5 7-5. tells me a lot about all 3 players involved.
Ying-Ying Duan, who defeated Ksenia Pervak yesterday and never even gave a set to Fangzhou Liu in her entire life lost the first et 6-0 and now 3-0 behind in the second. This is vagina tennis folks, any penetrating thing can happen. She may come back from this or she may not. Either way doesn't surprise me anymore
Ying Ying Duan came back from 3 game deficit and took the set in tiebreak. Patricia Mayr Achleitner was 5-4 up and serving for the set, now she's serving to stay in the set. Jordan Thompson lost the first set 6-0 to a local nobody, barely won the second in the tiebreak and now 2 breaks up in the third.
These are not fixed, just challenger players frakking with us as they always do. that's the nature of those tournaments
Montanes is playing like shit again, I'm glad I took Fucsovics to win the 1st set. that and Anna Makhorkina to win the match
I'm on Virgili to win the 2nd vs Ramos but started to regret it. Such a headcase, he's so negative, always complaining about something.
took over 21.5 for this aza/maka match. lesss rolll
Marion Bartoli on Eurosport. Looks like she doubled her weight in a year. She was never slim to begin with
