I'm glad Chen lost I did have Muller as part of my parlay.
Isner 1st Set +220
*0.5 unit
Any chance he takes this (the whole thing)? If theyre on the fast playing courts I cant imagine Ferrer will break him often.Isner 1st Set +220
*0.5 unit
Slight chance with an A+ service game and some help from Ferrer. If his serve is off any though, he's obviously going to get murdered on ground strokes mostly. I like the 1st Set better as I think he can sustain better early before Ferrer measures his serve.
Oh well, still made out with the Giraldo win for decent profit for once this week.
Was on Giraldo. Thought Isner could cover the spread, got it at +100, went larger than I should have once I saw it dropping. Ah well, on to the next oneOh well, still made out with the Giraldo win for decent profit for once this week.
2014 Season Overall Profit: +8.77

Nadal-Berdych Over 20.5 [-120]
i have a tiny hunch berdshit beats nadal in madrid again.
amazing h2h record...berdy beat nadal 3 times in a row, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times they met...in 2005/06...
nadal's beat him 17 straight times since then, making 18-3 overall...
and, get this...berdy has only won 3 sets over their last 17 meetings
nadal's armor starting to crack somewhat recently, but an absolutely amazing record of dominance over someone who's been within shouting range rankings-wise the whole time
upset i'm throwing some mcnuggets at is Garcia over ARad...at +287, yes please!
Over the past 4-5 years, there have been the 3-5 top dogs and the wannabes like Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer (although he has been good on clay), Wawrinka (pre AO). The gap between them is wider than between the ~10th and ~70th ranked players. Berdych is probably the ultimate wannabe: he has a decent game but as mentally fragile as the worst WTA player on PMS. Anyway, betting on him vs Nadal@Madrid on clay is madness.amazing h2h record...berdy beat nadal 3 times in a row, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times they met...in 2005/06...

you're right...the gap between the big 3 (Nadal/Joker/Federer).and whoever is the #10 player is effectively miles bigger than that between the #10 player and #70...Over the past 4-5 years, there have been the 3-5 top dogs and the wannabes like Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer (although he has been good on clay), Wawrinka (pre AO).

case in point....you're right to "honorable mention" Ferrer as arguably the 4th best player over these years...BUT look at his h2h vs the big 3 to see your point in technicolor...Nadal/Joker/Federer have truly been "in a league of their own"
Typical Betdych-Nadal I suppose. Rafa was like a shark with blood in the water after he got the break. Was hoping Rafa's serve was going to be a bit more pedestrian like last round at times, but Berdych not getting much. Ho hum.
