i would root for fish but i have Ljubicic in a parlay.

i think ferrero, djokavic, and melzer all mght possibly struggle tomorrow

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 01:55 PM

Break for Fish, probably gives a point right back.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 01:58 PM

F-ing shank job. 5-5 in the tie break. Loser.

Come on EP. Fish can do this. Ljubi is busted - if the world today has anything good left, he should win on pure fitness level alone. He just needs to keep pushing - Ljubi will eventually cave. I hope.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 02:02 PM

C'mon Fish. Serving for the tie break. Get it done bitch.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 02:03 PM

Double fault. What a fag.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 02:04 PM

Total choke by Fish. What an asshole.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 02:06 PM

3rd f-ing chance to serve for the set. C'mon dickhole.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 02:06 PM

Nooooooice forehand winner. 1-1 each. Ljubicic pulled the bitch card when he blew his chance to win and complained about it being dark.

SRBI · 05-27-10, 02:26 PM

LMAO EP, love the comments, got Fish myself, come on Mardy! Er, wait, delayed again? Tennis

beefcake · 05-27-10, 03:37 PM

That was great stuff Ep,hopefully fish gets his head on straight overnight,going to be a crazy day on friday...

Things I THINK I Know ... Friday, May 28th

Still have Kohlschreiber-Gonzalez parlay pending along with Fish & Ginepri straight up.

For Friday, I THINK Dulgheru remains an underappreciated clay court whiz in WTA. She is facing Wozniacki, but Woz is still working back form injury and has never progressed past the 3rd round at RG. I THINK this dog has a shot to bark at +165.

I THINK for totals tomorrow, I THINK Murray-Baghdatis at 37.5 has a decent shot to head towards the OVER. Murray has been able to battle through his two matches thus far with some sketchy moments. Baghdatis has looked solid here after never really amounting to much on clay in the past. If the surface drys out, that should give some extra zip to Baggy's serve which can be a pretty good weapon. If that's the case, I THINK this one goes a minimum of 4 sets and this could wind up being a 5 set gut wrencher if both play well.

With other stuff pending, I am going to use some restraint here and limit my plays to those at this point. One other dog I THINK could bark, but would probably only use SBR points:

Isner +200: Say what you want about his clay inexperience, but this is a superb price in a match where Isner & Berdych's serves may make tie breakers the deciding factor. Isner is pretty good at those.

beefcake · 05-27-10, 11:31 PM

Good luck!

Slider612 · 05-27-10, 11:32 PM

Eagles fan now do you feel about Hewitt,im kinda leaning his way over Istomin.

Slider612 · 05-27-10, 11:33 PM

First match on court,also which i like

EaglesPhan36 · 05-27-10, 11:35 PM

I don't like the price because Hewitt is still a health concern coming back from those surgeries. Beating the tar out of Chardy isn't always a good indicator of one's form either these days. I think he wins because Istomin isn't great on clay, but at -415 or so, definite no play for me. Would only use it in a parlay if you really like it.

Slider612 · 05-27-10, 11:42 PM

Do like any player tommorrow around the 200 range?I know that price might be slim pickns

Slider612 · 05-27-10, 11:47 PM

Like getting up at the crack of dawn ,from the east coast est,to watch tennis that early.Big fan of the US Open,been there a few times really like Flushing Meadows,good memories from there,grew up in the McEnroe era fun times.

Goat Milk · 05-28-10, 04:20 AM

Murray rolls easy, can return any serve anyway.

I like Isner

Tsonga · 05-28-10, 06:33 AM

-200 take Tsonga in the revenge spot against de bakker

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 07:15 AM

Damn. Knew Gonzalez was a risk, but losing in straights and not even being competitive? So much for that parlay.

beefcake · 05-28-10, 08:52 AM

Well fish decided not to play inthe 4th..Heart attack city here we come for the 5th...

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 08:55 AM

Ginepri

Said I'd be happy with the Ginepri-Fish split, but hell Fish has a real shot although it's gonna have to be in the 5th.

beefcake · 05-28-10, 08:57 AM

Nice call on ginepri!!

Slider612 · 05-28-10, 09:08 AM

Tsonga Im with you today, thanks for the feed back,played Tsonga,home town favorite to,got it in at 240,THANK YOU,GL

Slider612 · 05-28-10, 09:09 AM

Fish had nice serve going the day he beat Berrer

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 09:17 AM

Fish is being an idiot again. Up a break in the 3rd, gives it back.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 11:12 AM

Glad I only used SBR points on Isner. Can't believe he's so non-competitive today. Fish blew it, but it was a good ride for the price. Dulgheru is trying to take Woz to a 3rd set. Need that one to cap a decent day. Murray-Baghdatis total sucked because the sets were so lopsided. Thought they'd be more competitive from set to set.

beefcake · 05-28-10, 11:37 AM

Fukk..WTA..up 4-2 and lose 4 in a row...Today has been brutal...

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 12:20 PM

Dulgheru disappointed me a lot and I know others were on her. She was up a break in the 1st and I think up at least one break in the 2nd and still blew that too. Oh well, the Ginepri one still keeps me pretty giddy since it was a big one at +235. I decided to play a little Na Li at -135 to finish today because I was bored. Probably stupid, but just a small play for shits. Venus still alive in my outrights and her draw still looks attractive to get to the semis if she keeps her current mindset, of course that's always an if. But Dementieva is in trouble and that was the top seed on the top portion of her quarter. Petrova or Rezai will probably be the toughest match she has now.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-28-10, 11:27 PM

Things I THINK I Know ... Saturday, May 29th

Sooner or later fatigue is likely to catch Fernando Verdasco. Today could be the day with Kohlschreiber at +333. The German has been rolling along so far in Paris as has Verdasco. Still, the Spaniard somehow managed to lose a set 6-0 yesterday to Serra which could signal that fatigue is catching him some from playing a ton of tennis over the past month. Kohlschreiber will need to serve better to have his shot here, but I THINK at this price, I gotta go with Kohly.

In looking for a parlay on Saturday, I start with the lowest price in Bellucci for the 1st leg. The Brazilian gets the crafty Croat Ivan Ljubicic who has been stretched out having played his match against Mardy Fish in two days. Couple that with some lingering back issues and Bellucci should have an edge. The Brazilian needs to play more evenly than his 2nd rounder, but I THINK he outlasts the veteran here. I THINK I likely would pair Bellucci with Stosur who is playing a qualifier in the 3rd round. Stosur struggled in her first set, but then showed her class with a steamroll special 6-1, 6-0 in the next two sets. I like Stosur to continue her march onward at RG. Parlays costs you -120.

Stacocakes · 05-29-10, 12:25 AM

Great hit on Ginepri Eagles.I can't believe he keeps winning

Why would you parlay that when Belucci only costs -145, not much sense in risking another full match for a quarter on the dollar, Stosur could lose, that Russian girl is moving along pretty fast and could have upset written all over her, just not worth it, Belucci himself is inconsistent, Fish couldnt beat a supposed injured Lube, not that Fish is great or anything, but you would expect Fish serve and volley would slow Lube down(if he is still indeed as injured as some think), still Lube won.

beefcake · 05-29-10, 09:28 AM

nice first set by kolb...!

EaglesPhan36 · 05-29-10, 12:18 PM

Good run for the price on Kohlschreiber. Too bad he couldn't get it done. Stosur looks to be in good shape to get an early break in the 2nd and help finish off that parlay.
