    Any thoughts on Llorda @+285

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think llorda could beat Raonic tommorow?

    it's lloDRa... i believe it will be a tight contest. raonic hasn't put it together yet and is often upset by much lesser-skilled players. however far it goes, i still think his serve will reign supreme when all is said and done. i will play llodra +2.5 sets @ -180 for parlay fodder.

    llodra's line has come way down, so it seems a lot of people were thinking the same thing.

    it seems these guys will have an easy time holding serve against each other, which probably explains why the over is so high at 39.5 games for a -400 favorite. given the style matchup, i dont think llodra's age is an issue. this will look like a grass match, with short points, both guys resting on return games and looking for a tiebreak or one big push per set to get up a break. i like llodra's experience to help him in those pivotal moments.

    raonic has some serious clay wins this year, but from monte carlo to rome, he lost 4 out of 7 tiebreaks in 9 matches, including to guys like kohlschreiber, robredo and nieminen. llodra is a very good server and will play a different clay game than raonic might be used to.

    wish my book carried set spreads, as +2.5 is a great bet here.

    Think Llodra is Wednesday's Trojan Horse, hiding a pile of crap inside.

    I don't think he'll make it pass the 2nd set. The dude blows after the 2nd set against good players. He's all hype from the 1st to the 2nd set. After that he stinks the place up. Can't back that dude anymore. GL guys.

    Raonic's serve hasn't been at its best, but seems to be getting better in the 3rd set. Llodra will have to sneak one out in a TB if he's going to pull the upset it looks like.
