    Lu vs Karlovic

    What do you guys think of this match? Haven't seen either one playing this week but took Karlovic 2-0, a bit risky but not a big bet. Last time Lu played against Ivo's kind of player was in Auckland versus Isner, it was tight but Isner had 10 break points while Lu had only one. Might be similar match today, Karlovic holding easily and Lu being under pressure at least in a few service games, tiebreak(s) likely to happen.

    I took Lu. Odds seemed in my favor at +135

    Karlovic should cruise. Lu has no serve and cant handle big servers.

    Lu has an injury, please retire before 1st set ends.

    Oddsmakers saw this as near even match. If you had the foresight to know Lu would struggle I hope you loaded up on ivo.

    Yeah being breadsticked by Karlovic is pretty sad since his return game is awful and usually wins sets with tiebreaks or a fluke break.

    Clearly something wrong with him physically...and as I write this he retires.

    My book voids retirements so got nothing. I did load up on Karlovic simply cause Lu can't serve or return big serves. Was surprised to see him get out played in rallies though which was strange.

    I really wish 5D would void all retirements. I get burned by it far more than I benefit

    I'm the other way round, got burned by Lu just now and yesterday Pironkova was up in the 3rd set 5-0 and 30-0 in the deciding game when her opponent decided to retire haha. Also remember Bogo retiring against Fognini in Aussie Open as another major one. Prob another couple small ones in between too.

    I think all your Yankee books grade the same way except Heritage who need 2 sets complete for some stupid reason.

    If its worth any consolation most big books grade the same way (Pinnie Betfair etc) , with some Uk and most asian books needing match complete like B365 and SBO for example.

    Its coincidence I was just finishing writing an article on the various rules applied and where when I saw your bet and the result.
