Although Berdych usually gets the job done against this quality of player in DC, he has shown concentration lapses where he drops a set or sets in matches he should not. Switching fairly quickly from the rigors of the Aussie Open to Davis Cup might explain some of his February DC wobbles where he dropped a set each of the last two years against less experienced guys. Sijsling made the finals of the Heilbronn Challenger on this surface last week. A certain step up in competition level here, but if he can serve well - I think he can prolong these sets and even losing in straights, might be able to squeak this out and certainly would have a shot in four.

Actually going to get this @ Over 31.5 [-133] at a different book from before

Slinger does not favors and gets rolled. Wee.

Time to call the police.

MY own dumb ass fault as I flip flopped off my original pick after looking around more. Still like a douche, I go against the gut too much.

Probably a sucker bet.

After 1st Set: Querrey-Ward Over 25.5

Or in this case, I am a mother f-ing genius.

Got some doubles for us EP?

Hard to look past most of the favorites tomorrow, but I'm not playing anything.

Guccione and Hewitt are 2.06 to beat Benneteau and Monfils.

The Gooch and Hewitt have good Davis Cup doubles' records. Monfils has lost his last 8 doubles matches and is 20/66 overall. At plus money I have to take a nibble at that.

'preciate the heads-up...interesting stat on monfils' dubs record--i imagine the 86 matches were with a variety of partners...the latest of which is poor benny

The key is the game is on clay and in front of a patriotic crowd

Monfils will be fired up with the crowd for sure also Bennetau. And Australians suck on clay

But GL

The French aren't feeling very generous. they've subbed in tsonga and gasquet to try and finish the tie. Void the bet above.

I wouldn't have tried Gooch & Hewitt regardless in that one, maybe on hard courts - not on clay. Looks like a couple of the dogs won.

EP, did you happen to catch Goffins last match? Just wondering if he has a shot vs Kushkush.
