    Ernests Gulbis

    I don't know if anyone else has been following the futures odds, but every tournament 5 Dimes has made him the shortest odds for a non-seed, despite the fact that he has a hard draw.


    ATP Western & Southern Open
    Mon 8/12 11:00AM
    all players have action
    Novak Djokovic +140
    Andy Murray +375
    Rafael Nadal +500
    Roger Federer +875
    Juan Martin del Potro +900
    Tomas Berdych +2500
    David Ferrer +3800
    Milos Raonic +5000
    Jerzy Janowicz +7500
    Ernests Gulbis +7500
    Tommy Haas +8500
    John Isner +8500
    Richard Gasquet +9000




    Now the reason I bring it up is because if it just happened once, I'd chalk it up to an oddsmaker's error. But the same thing happened at the Rogers Cup (where he actually beat Murray).

    Just think it's funny that he's the 10th favorite despite being unseeded (16 seeds) and despite facing Youzhny and then Murray.

    edit: The truth is, only the top 8 seeds have an advantage because they get a bye.
