EP you think Dulko can beat Azarenka today? I can't believe she's 5.61. Handi is +6 which I've already taken.

Fk Aza retired one game early, missed out on some good cash

**kkhimji2001** · 09-01-10, 10:57 AM

I had aza to win the match all in, so i was lucky

**nicsbr** · 09-01-10, 10:59 AM

any know who took medical timeout in dustin brown - hidalgo?

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 11:00 AM

No idea on the TO. Feel bad for the Dulko backers. Azarenka could have at least stood there for one more game and then retired.

1st set with Stakhovsky and Luczak going well for the over with a tie break set to start. Hoping Luczak takes it.

If the game goes to 4 or 5 sets, who will have the advantage? I'm assuming youth ?

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 11:21 AM

Don't know if there is an edge if it goes 5. Both have to deal with the heat and both have been in plenty of Slams before. I think both are 0-for in winning 5 setters though if I looked correctly.

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 09-01-10, 11:24 AM

Hmm okay. Best of luck for both of us EP.

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 09-01-10, 11:27 AM

Wonder what's happening

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 11:46 AM

Stalled for a good 5 minutes. Must be a medical timeout? Stakhovsky is pretty slight of frame. Tall and thin.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 11:49 AM

Fawk. Looks like I should have just taken Luczak like I had thought about. Maybe I can get a retirement to void the totals bet.

**nicsbr** · 09-01-10, 11:50 AM

ep do u know after which match chela startS?

**hedgejob** · 09-01-10, 11:51 AM

I'm feeling Murray -9

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 11:53 AM

Chela is after the Jankovic doubles match.

**colout** · 09-01-10, 12:34 PM

Think u can cash this now.. nice hit

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 12:34 PM

Stakhovsky snags the 2nd set after trailing most of the set. Sitting at 25 games through 2 sets, looks good for the over hopefully. Now let's go Luczak!

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 09-01-10, 12:35 PM

You got your set

come on luczak, get me my next 2

**mister bee** · 09-01-10, 01:24 PM

Way to go EP! Tailed u on this over. Great call.

**Bigpete2010** · 09-01-10, 01:27 PM

Thats what im talkin bout!!!

KAMKE-KOHLSCHREIBER OVER 32.5 [-128]
German on German, the Das Fuhrer must be proud. Kohlschreiber will get the headlines as the bigger name here, but a closer look at his summer calls some questions about whether he wins this in straights or not. Firstly, he pulled out of the Cincinnati tournament with a shoulder issue. In that same tournament, he dropped sets to both Falla and Zeballos. In general, his summer hard court matches featured a lot of up and down matches where he'd win an easy set, lose an easy set. Kamke meanwhile has seemingly become more comfortable at Grand Slams as the year has gone on. After not making the Aussie Open, he won a match at the French and two at Wimbleon. On hard courts, he's been mainly at the Challenger level, but competing well with a title last month in Canada. He hasn't played someone of Kohlscheiber pedigree on hard courts yet, but Kamke has shown an affinity for fighting hard in his match on this surface. As with most young players getting their first taste of the main draw at the US Open, getting in first serves is a must. Kamke at his best is good enough IMO to take a set. I'd go with the handicap at +7, but with the lop sided sets Kohlschreiber played this summer, I'd rather take my shot with the total.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 02:56 PM

Chela consolidates to go up 3-1 in the 4th, looking to close the match out. Looks good. Simon breaks DY in the 2nd. Looking good on the parlay right now.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 03:17 PM

Kamke showing major nerves. Six double faults in the 1st set. 1 for 10 on 2nd serves, down 1-4. Hoping he gets past it in the 2nd set and starts playing better or the total has no shot in hell.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 03:20 PM

Donald Young I knew you would be disappointing, but not this disappointing. Still, thanks for what looks to be an EZ win for Simon. Rolling up a break already in the 3rd. Straight sets close out possibilities.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 03:26 PM

Chela wins. Simon should be done in the next 30 minutes, polish off good old DY.

**nicsbr** · 09-01-10, 03:28 PM

ty for chela

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 03:41 PM

OUDIN-BONDARENKO OVER 21.5 [-105]
Had this one marked and thought about it all day. Expecting a double fault, break fest and perhaps three sets. Going smaller on this one, but I THINK I THINK I like it.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 04:07 PM

Hell yeah. Kamke settles in and wins the 2nd set, 6-4. 18 games through 2 sets, sitting in pretty nice position to get the over done.

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 09-01-10, 04:09 PM

Any other advice for the coming games EP?

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 04:12 PM

I think Roddick-Tipsarevic for tonight will go over 37.5. Tipsarevic is plenty good enough to win a set of Roddick and the sets should be fairly deep if Tipsy serves well. He had 23 aces against Rochus. Will need at least half that against Roddick to win a set I think.

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 09-01-10, 04:15 PM

Thanks EP. Best of luck

**Shifty107** · 09-01-10, 04:20 PM

Hey EP, thinking of putting a unit or two on rodionova. Syosur hasnt impressed me lately and I think that injury is still bothering her.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 04:25 PM

Take it for what it's worth, but Stosur said post-match after Round 1 that the arm is 100%. Not sure I buy that. I did not get to see her 1st match, but if she's 100% - you'll know because she'll be hammering the ball.

**ILuuVEMBL** · 09-01-10, 04:31 PM

Congrats to the double EP and thanks for Chela. What do you think of the match between Szavay-Penetta?

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 04:34 PM

I like Pennetta, but only useful in a parlay at the price. I left her off my list though in the end.

**EaglesPhan36** · 09-01-10, 04:50 PM

Oudin isn't going to give this over a chance. Error machine. Hope not too many got suckered into taking her on the ML today.

**ILuuVEMBL** · 09-01-10, 04:51 PM

ok im on Szavay +4.5 +205.She have played great the last couple of months think it will be a close game
