EP36's Tennis Talk

Saw 5 dimes took the almagro total off the board..Hmmm..Funny,all the $$ is on the injured guy...

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 07:25 AM

I may lose it, but I'm sprinkling some more on Seppi now at +145 at the SBR book. This is probably about where this price should be with no injury for Joe Q. Public. Even if Almagro is healthy enough to compete, I still think this match is going to be close.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 07:30 AM

As expected, Sela is a throw away. Don't know why I bothered, but I did. Lacko over Baghdatis, still like it. Gonna see how these others pan out with plenty of time before that one starts.

**rumple** · 06-22-10, 07:50 AM

If Kutzneysova loses to this neanderthal i'm going to be pissed.

**rumple** · 06-22-10, 07:51 AM

I want a gender test too if she loses.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:08 AM

Garcia-Lopez is doing this the hard way. Went up 2-0, now going to a 5th set. He's wasted breaks too much here too, should have closed Kamke out last set at worst.

Sela battling to try to go to a 5th, never expected that. Kendrick got a break in the 3rd, inching toward the over on that total hopefully.

Now the fun starts, Almagro is down 0-2 to Seppi.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:11 AM

Sweet. Kendrick up 5-2 in the 3rd. Done deal on the OVER total even if he totally chokes.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:25 AM

Well Garcia-Lopez is in full circle the drain mode. What a choke job. Parlay is gonna be screwed soon and I was more worried about Bellucci.

Seppi up a break in the 3rd, finish Almagro off my Italian brutha!

Sela loses in a 4th set tie break, at least he wound up making that interesting but still a loss nonetheless.

Sitting out Lacko-Baghdatis. We'll see if I know shit about shit on that.

eagles u like carlos ferrero against malisse?

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:37 AM

Thinking about it. That's a tough call, but I loves me some JCF. I'm a little scared about Ferrero's fitness since he seemed thoroughly beaten when he lost in Halle a couple weeks back, but he's been off since then. Malisse has played a lot of tennis the past two weeks and may have started to fade when he lost easy to Stakhovsky last week. Doesn't seem to be much information available about JCF. In a best of 5, if he's fit, I lean to JCF and incredibly, he's never lost in the 1st round at Wimbledon. Gonna watch the price a little longer.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:42 AM

Seppi in straight sets.

I'd like to thank the dumb ass public who bought Almagro up and sent Seppi to +145 pre-match for the extra win.

GGL trying to stave things off, just got the break back when Kamke was trying to serve the match out.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:47 AM

Then GGL chokes on his own serve at love. Thanks for nothing genius. So 2-2 this morning, lost the parlay which pisses me off because Bellucci is rolling - then again so was GGL after two sets. Seppi won easy. Sela lost. Total won.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:54 AM

Robert +6 [-125]
He's taking on Petzschner who had a good run on grass in Halle, but pulled out with a hip problem in Holland last week. Robert is a so-so player, but Petz isn't a superb grass court guy. Just a pot shot here for shits and giggles until JCF-Malisse comes about.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO -112
Talked myself into it. It's kind of funny as I looked around for updated information on whether Ferrero was feeling better after possibly suffering from fatigue/fitness issues a couple weeks ago, there was a lot made about this match with Malisse. The funny thing is most of the articles kept mentioning how Malisse was playing better now and how he is a former semifinalist at Wimbledon. Well that was back in 2004 and that was by leaps and bounds the best he ever did here. JCF has made the quarters twice in the past three tournaments and has never lost a 1st round match at Wimbledon. Streaks are always meant to be broken, but I think the time off hopefully helped JCF rest up for this. Let's face it if this price was laid right at the beginning of the grass court season, no one in the their right mind would pass on JCF. Malisse had a couple nice weeks leading up to this, but I think might have some fatigue of his own that negates the questions about JCF. Hopefully this lives up the hype I've made for it in my mind ... that or JCF rolls. That'd do too.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 11:30 AM

Can't believe I passed on Lacko. He's about to take out Baghdatis in 4. Stupid ass EP.

**luclongley** · 06-22-10, 11:48 AM

yeah i talked myself into ferrero too, based on the stats and history of head 2 head. and malisse is already hitting the snot out of the ball

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 12:06 PM

Well at least Robert is looking solid right now. Down 2-1, but ahead a break in the 4th. Watch the f-er win as a +315 dog when I took the handicap.

1st set looks like it's going to Malisse.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 12:19 PM

Let's hope set #1 was Ferrero getting adjusted back to match conditions. Poor serving and 9 unforced errors. Let's go JCF, step it up.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 12:21 PM

Robert a guaranteed winner on the handicap. Even at 2 sets, +3 on games.

**scyred** · 06-22-10, 12:22 PM

Come on ferrero!!

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 12:45 PM

JCF doing better in the 2nd, but Malisse hasn't offered anything off his serve. Tie break might be the best chance to win this set. Have to have it.

**FR3SH like UgHH** · 06-22-10, 12:47 PM

everything is going right for malisse, literally that ball that was out. they said it was in....

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 12:58 PM

Yeah, think JCF is done here. Can't see him coming back from 0-2. My guess is he rolls over in the 3rd. Disappointing finish if it only goes 3. Had high hopes this would be a great tussle.

**FR3SH like UgHH** · 06-22-10, 01:06 PM

dont speak to soon eagles!!!

still got a shot!

**luclongley** · 06-22-10, 01:10 PM

split sets, this could turn to ferrero quickly

**Boner_18** · 06-22-10, 01:13 PM

That foot fault got malise thinking. Not in a good way.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:14 PM

Holy crap. I left for lunch with Malisse up 6-3 in that first tie break and just got back to find JCF won that set. Nice. At least it's turned into what I thought it would be. Let's go JCF!

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:42 PM

Let's go Mosquito. 5th set up next. JCF!

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:48 PM

JCF! JCF! JCF! Broke Malisse to start the 5th. I do loves me some JCF.

**FR3SH like UgHH** · 06-22-10, 02:49 PM

i hope JCF pulls it out....

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:51 PM

Damn got broke right back.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:59 PM

Yep. Choke job in the 5th. Oh well at least it wound up being worth the ride.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 03:07 PM

He was absolutely gassed after he blew that first break back, got rolled 6-1 in the 5th. Good fight. Lousy ending. .500 for the day. Hit the Total + Seppi + Robert handicap. Lost parlay. Sela. JCF. The parlay pissed me off the most because Garcia-Lopez hacked up a 2-0 lead while Bellucci cruised. Oh well. At least it wasn't a losing day. Onward.
