    Big John does not look good in 2nd serves as expected. He makes up for it with 1st serves but he has no room for mistake

    Trust me Johnny has a knack for choking matches away. As long as Gulbis stays motivated and still wants to win he has a very good chance of winning in 3.

    Isner just got immediately broken to start the second set. I dont think he's going to keep up that first serve percentage up entire match. Also that tiebreak was very close ...down to one point so Isner wasnt dominating the tiebreaks like he usually does.

    His second serve points won is outright pitiful right now. He won't be able to hide from that whole match long. Take Gulbis if the odds are nice right now.

    1st Gulbis serve Isner could not break from 0-30

    2nd Gulbis serve Isner wasted 3 break points

    3rd Gulbis serve Isner wasted 2 break points

    Not sure if Gulbis will take the match.

    Exactly what I ended up doing buddy! I took Gulbis ML and 2-1 prematch, and Gulbis 2nd set and O27 after Isner won that first set. Of course you know Isner is my favorite player - not saying I know him any better than anyone else - but I have a feeling he'll somehow end up choking the match away like usual.

    I dont know why everyone says Isner chokes usually. He made Del Potro choke in a 3 setter where DelPotro served for thematch. He also saves a lot of break points in these type of tourneys,I think he is consistent

    Raonic is more of a choker but Isner is pretty good on 3 setters in US hardcourts

    I don't mean choke as in Frenchy men choking lol. Just that he has a knack for failing to close out sets when he's about to win, or not playing well at all against many of the top-10 players after dominating competition the whole tournament. Like if he ends up winning tonight I bet he loses in straights to either Joker or Fed.

    I think he plays great against anyone on 3 setters on hardcourts in US soil. He does not choke and he does not have a problem in closing out

    But Slams are a different story

    ^^ I was getting ready to say it's mainly in slams and the bigger tourneys I'm referring to.

    Theoretically you had it right MDF. The missing factor is the 10 year old kid in The Gulbis body

    Isner 2:1 * 300 = 1500
    Gulbis 2:1 * 400 = 1600
    Under 25.5 * 700 = 1400

    Only way for me to loss that if game end like the last one 7:6 7:6 for same player,
    but if not,3 sets give me +200 and 2 sets give me my money back..

    its worth play or too dumb risky?

    Hope you didn't bet it.

    In both games Gulbis choked. He cant handle mentally and gamewise Isner, even when he has no 2nd serves

    And it is pretty amazing total difference between final scores is 1 point.
