Fog certainly started well, but Davy woke up now - think this only goes one way now.

**beefcake** · 08-11-10, 10:38 AM

Nice comeback from Polansky...

**TopGun1** · 08-11-10, 10:43 AM

Anyone know what is going on in the Wickmayer match? The score has been stuck at Wickmayer a break down for a good while now...

Has there been an injury break?

**beefcake** · 08-11-10, 10:48 AM

Way to screw up Peter..

Saw that too..

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 10:58 AM

Yeah no idea on that. I was hoping if it was an injury, especially Wickmayer that she'd quit now and save part of the parlay.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 10:59 AM

Flashscore updated at 4-3 Dulko and maybe on-serve with Wickmayer serving I think.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:00 AM

Polansky breaks. Come on you hoser! Hanescu wants to lose.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:13 AM

Cincy Twitter site says there is a glitch with the live scoring they are trying to fix, assuming it is just for the Wickmayer match. Will be interesting to see where the F that match is when it updates.

Polansky blows his break lead. This is gonna play out just like round 1 think when I took a Canadian against Hanescu. Close, but not quite.

**fsfalcons** · 08-11-10, 11:16 AM

haha yea they must be in a long rally its be 3-1 for about 30 minutes

**limitation** · 08-11-10, 11:19 AM

They fixed the scoreboard update. Wickmayer up a set now.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:19 AM

Boo ya! Updated. Wickymayer takes the 1st, 7-6 and is up 2-1 on-serve in the 2nd. Zvonareva gets the first set, 7-5. Polansky is trying to break Hansecu right back, but I've pretty much resolved myself to another loss against Hanescrew.

**TopGun1** · 08-11-10, 11:20 AM

Back up i think, Wichmayer takes set 1!

2-2 in the 2nd

**beefcake** · 08-11-10, 11:22 AM

both up a set..Lets cash this bastard..

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:41 AM

DJOKOVIC-BENNETEAU OVER 20.5 [-125]
Benneteau's serve was solid in his opening round win over Istomin. It will need to be equally as good today against a better returner in Djokovic. Djokovic isn't quite having to make the rougher transition from grass to hard courts as he played indoor hard courts in Davis Cup play in between. His form on hard courts early in 2010 suggest that if Benneteau can hold serve well, the over might have a shot today. If Djokovic shows any rust, all the better as Benneteau could take a set, but I'm not banking on that outcome.

**beefcake** · 08-11-10, 11:47 AM

Jesus f ing christ i hate that lucky romanian bastard>.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:51 AM

Need Vera to get this done so I can cash one play at least. Polansky loses. Doubles play down a set and not looking encouraging.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 11:53 AM

Fawking Vera is gonna make a 3rd set necessary. Sheesh.

**rpdiddy** · 08-11-10, 12:28 PM

Good call with the Doubles action. Nice comeback.

Thanks EP

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 01:04 PM

Yeah, that one did not look good at all in the 1st set, but nice super breaker win.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 01:37 PM

DOUBLES PLAY: DLOUHY-PAES -140
While I do like the team of Benneteau & Llodra that they draw here, this is a good line on one of the top 5 doubles pairings in ATP play. Dlouhy & Paes have one title to their credit this season and that came on the hard courts of Miami. They have also made the finals of four other tournaments in 2010. Last year, they were the US Open doubles champs, so they have a good pedigree on the hard surface. Not that it will necessarily impact the match, but both Llodra & Benneteau are involved in singles matches today. Llodra & Benneteau won their opener, but are faced with a much more experienced duo here. Expect tight sets with the serving power the French team brings, but I side again with experience.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 01:39 PM

Parlay dying. Zvonareva's serve just fell apart after the 1st set. Total in the Djokovic match should be a winner if neither of these fools retires!

**beefcake** · 08-11-10, 01:40 PM

Were getting the big bannana from the zvon...

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 02:33 PM

Small play on Kohlschreiber, he said he owed me from yesterday.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 03:02 PM

LU -130
Lu has actually been very solid and plays the majority of his matches on hard courts during the season, bouncing from Challenger to ATP level frequently. His season shows consistency on this surface with a QF appearance in Johannesburg, 2nd round losses in Miami and Indian Wells to solid performers in Roddick & Gonzalez and then a Challenger hard court title and another trip to a final on the Challenger level. Of course he also had the QF run at Wimbledon too. He ran through qualis here in Toronto and looked solid in winning his opener. He draws Mathieu who got in as a lucky loser after falling in qualis to Nieminen. Outside of his run at Wimbledon, Mathieu's season has been littered with injury and poor results with a 2-3 mark on hard courts. He's also just a 54% winner on this surface for his career. Better form and what is certainly the better overall player at this point in the season here for me, Luuuuuuuuuuu!

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 03:07 PM

Note to myself,

I think Karma owes you from Simon coming back from the rain delay and folding like a piece of origami the other day to bone your total. Kirilenko should do the same today. Pay it forward you sexy beast.

Love,

Me

PS - Don't forget the booze.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 03:22 PM

Think Cincy might be about to resume for WTA purposes. Let the Zvonareva miracle begin.

**Goat Milk** · 08-11-10, 04:08 PM

Mathieu looked solid yesterday from what my buddy told me. I'm not surprised your on Lu here, its a great price, it makes me wonder why Lou is such a good price. I would disregard any of his quali wins, those guys were scrubs. But this will be an interesting match, i will be watching.

**chibears** · 08-11-10, 04:10 PM

had i only listened to your sig. chardy mofo is about to burn me

**JNic** · 08-11-10, 04:13 PM

haha im about to follow your strict no chardy policy, he continuously suffers letdowns in big moments. the guy was playing great too all set

**TopGun1** · 08-11-10, 04:18 PM

Kohlschreiber cashes for us, nice work EP

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 04:23 PM

Yeah Kohly will make up for the WTA parlay chumping out.

I full endorse a Chardy free universe.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 04:25 PM

Meltdown meltdown meltdown Maria. You are so hot, how could you not meltdown?

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-11-10, 04:44 PM

Tie break. Kirilenko-Zvonareva. Can't believe it got here. Meltdown Maria, meltdown.

All I need to do is get the booze! Karma just made love to me sideways. Vera rallied from down 2-5 in the 3rd to win the tie break! Parlay cashes!
