Stacocakes Australian Open Thread

Booked 1 bet for today so far, Joker/Tsonga over 38.5 at 8/11.

Glad money has come for Fed makes Davy more tempting given I was leaning that way. Don't really know what to do here. Over looks the safest play but I am considering Davy 1st set and straight up.

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 08:15 PM

Like the over in the Tsonga match.I think it could go the distance.Will be tight

I've already locked in Federer plus I have my Federer outrights. Only see one winner in this match really

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 08:22 PM

Venus rolling.Match should be done soon

beefcake · 01-26-10, 08:24 PM

screw the williams sisters...

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 08:30 PM

I think Serena is getting backed because the public trusts her in majors. At hard court majors, she's easily the most reliable on the WTA side. Is the line inflated? Hell yeah. Is it worth playing Azarenka? I don't think so unless you're into just throwing darts. If that's the case, Tsonga's a better dog to me - but I've already stated my case about that one, think Djokovic will pull through because I do believe this tournament was his focus since he was made out to be a punk bitch by Roddick and the heat last year. And I don't think people are taking into account enough about the difference between Djokovic-Tsonga playing on outdoor hard courts vs. Indoor where Tsonga owns Djokovic.

Venus williams loses the second set.She was up a break.Wow.Figured this was over

Ya I am going to pass on Azarenka. You are right Eagles

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 09:03 PM

Wow. I quit that one too. I don't understand Venus. Her serve used to be an incredible weapon, but now it's hit or miss like everyone not named Serena.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 09:23 PM

I think they told Venus to lose, so ESPN could start their coverage with a match in-play. Seriously.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 09:36 PM

Absolute horse sh*t serving from both Li and Venus. Three straight breaks. And you wonder why Serena gets backed heavily. Venus could have won this already twice save for being the human double fault machine.

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 09:50 PM

WOw Venus is down a break.Li serving for the match now
Didn't see this coming. Wonder if she has the nerves to serve out this match

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 09:55 PM

Typical WTA.Li broken serving for the match
Geez

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 09:56 PM

Venus broke again.What is happening here? Li gets another shot at serving out the set.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 09:58 PM

This is some of the worst service games I have ever seen and that is saying a lot for WTA. Serena is going to pound Li Na, Na Li or hell who knows Venus might make it to a tie break. Horrible tennis.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 10:02 PM

Watched this last set too - the crowd is all behind Li. No love for Venus at all.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 10:03 PM

What is with Li doing the "you can't see me" face wave when she wins a big point?

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 10:03 PM

Crowd hates williams sisters.Don't want to see them win everything

Venus loses. Great win for Li Na. wow

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 10:04 PM

haha I didn't notice her doing that hand gesture.Thats funny if that is what she is doing
Maybe she is doing the towel gesture that they always do after big shots.

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 10:08 PM

Azarenka is a good player but is mentally fragile.With that being said, Serena is not backable at these odds in this match. It's either take Azarenka as a big dog and hope or just pass on the match.I'm going to pass on it

hedgejob · 01-26-10, 10:14 PM

Staco what do you think about Fed/Davy O39.5?

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 10:33 PM

Azarenka breaks serena the first game wow

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 10:34 PM

Hedgejob not to sure about that over. I think Fed wins and Davy will probably get at least 1 set. Over could be good.

hedgejob · 01-26-10, 10:50 PM

Thanks

Totolover1409 · 01-26-10, 11:11 PM

Really like Henin to win the whole thing.

Stacocakes · 01-26-10, 11:15 PM

Serena having some problems here.About to lose the first set. Wonder what her number will be after the first set

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 11:16 PM

I bet still huge -200 or so. 1st set not done though, breaks everywhere you never know what's gonna happen.

UMAGA · 01-26-10, 11:16 PM

I underestimated Cilic, but Murray looks golden in the semi's and should be more fresh for Fed

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 11:28 PM

Wow. Surprised Serena is plus odds honestly in live betting.

beefcake · 01-26-10, 11:30 PM

serena at plus odds? wow..

Collegepays · 01-26-10, 11:31 PM

Dumb question but will Federer/ Davydenko start right after Williams/Azarenka or some other time?

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 11:37 PM

Will probably start 15-20 minutes after the end. Serena is done. This is reminiscent of Clijsters the other night just showing up with zero game and Azarenka whipping her ass.

hedgejob · 01-26-10, 11:48 PM

This has been the most unpredictable slam in a long while.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-26-10, 11:50 PM

On the women's side maybe, but women's tennis in general has become a crap shoot in the past couple years. Men's side has been mostly to form with one outsider (Cilic) - but the Australian Open is known for unseeded or low seeded players making the semis or final.

Fischnasty · 01-27-10, 12:05 AM

fukk this tennis shit.

cant win boys. nadal is assssssssssssssssssssssss.

raydog · 01-27-10, 12:08 AM

haaha, cant win boyzzz... cant win if you play davy tonight that is

Stacocakes · 01-27-10, 12:09 AM

Serena walking around the first four games of the set.....hitting shots with no effort. Basically tanking then all of the sudden at 4-0 she is running around and hitting the ball hard. Nothing weird about that at all
