6-4, 6-1. Chicken Dinner for everyone.

SATURDAY

SZAVAY +115
Have a feeling Szavay at plus money will not last long here. She won this event in her home country last year and has been on a smooth ride this week. She draws Dulgheru, who is enjoying a breakout year on clay. Still, her play has been erratic this week, especially yesterday against Sevastova and the round before against Chakvetadze. Of her six sets in those two matches, three were tie breaks and she did win two of those. Szavay has been having a pretty average year this season compared to last, so this could be the highlight of her year - getting another chance at a final in Budapest. She needs to improve her 2nd serve big from yesterday though.

Tailing this one immediately. Thanks for posting it early enough.

ha1ogen · 07-09-10, 05:47 PM

i like szavay to win too, gonna tail

What needs to happen for france to advance over Spain? Saw all the french players won today

EaglesPhan36 · 07-09-10, 06:13 PM

They have to win one of the remaining three ties. I'm not sure they don't get it done right away in doubles. The surface really is perfectly crafted to their players strengths.

Really might only be one Davis Cup tie that matters from a betting standpoint tomorrow: Djokovic vs. Cilic.

beefcake · 07-10-10, 09:13 AM

12 breaks of serve

beefcake · 07-10-10, 09:30 AM

Put this shite to bed agnes!!!

JNic · 07-10-10, 09:33 AM

are the odds out for Cilic vs Djokovic, Djokovic will beat him easily. Cilic has been an unforced error machine, completely out of form

whitedogau · 07-10-10, 09:38 AM

agnes is doing this the hard way

beefcake · 07-10-10, 09:40 AM

WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

EaglesPhan36 · 07-10-10, 10:33 AM

Nice. Saw France already finished off Spain. Spain has no heart without Rafa.

Jrod124 · 07-10-10, 10:40 AM

nice challenger pick yesterday, was on that with you for unit! Keep em coming

Tsonga · 07-10-10, 02:27 PM

I think Fish loses this tournament...I think the winner of Rochus/Dabul wins...unless fish doesn't even make it out of the match with Bloomfield...Fish just has no return game...

Tsonga · 07-10-10, 02:36 PM

longest rally of the match has been maybe 6-7 hits for bloomfield/fish

Tsonga · 07-10-10, 02:44 PM

Fish serving for the match now but he still has no return game....Bloomfield let him back in the game up 40-15 and had 3 DF's in a row.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-10-10, 02:48 PM

Fish is into the final. If Rochus will do it proper, I can have both finalists in there on the futures and get some guaranteed mo-ney.

JNic · 07-10-10, 03:06 PM

if dabul somehow wins, please dont even hedge fish. he is looking great out there, he has to win this. great great futures by the way

noober · 07-10-10, 05:19 PM

must feel good to have futures on the two finalists. Congrats!!!

beefcake · 07-10-10, 05:24 PM

got fish but no rochus..letting it ride!

EaglesPhan36 · 07-10-10, 05:56 PM

Would get a slightly better payout if Rochus wins, but regardless it will be nice to just sit back and see some money come in.l

Tsonga · 07-10-10, 09:27 PM

I'm thinking Rochus pulls off the upset.

SUNDAY

YOUZHNY -125
There is a chance that this match between Youzhny and Nalbandian is not necessary if Davydenko or a potential replacement cannot beat Leonardo Mayer to tie this up at 2 ties each. The Russians trail 2-1, so they must win. Bothy Youzhny and Nalbandian won in straight sets in their first singles ties in this match-up. Youzhny outclassed Mayer and is very solid on this indoor hard surface. Nalbandian has a stellar record on the surface, but you have to remember he's still coming off injury and inactivity so I take that into account here. Davydenko has looked out of sorts, so take the win for Fat Dave in the first singles tie with a grain of salt. Both guys have tons of experience in Davis Cup play and Nalbandian's singles record is impeccable although much of the damage is on clay. Still, with the current form in mind and the possibility of this being a deciding tie between the two countries, I'll side with the home standing Russian if this match takes place.

TennisBabe · 07-10-10, 10:40 PM

Like the over in the Fish match

WalkingLuckCharm · 07-11-10, 02:07 AM

this match is going to take place 90%, but it's a toss up imo

Loving it. Too bad I have to work so no live betting for me.

SRBI · 07-11-10, 09:35 AM

Noooooooooooo I woke up too late and missed Djokovic's beatdown of Cilic

EaglesPhan36 · 07-11-10, 10:50 AM

F-ing Russians. I just gotta avoid betting them.

In this case, it's not the Russian to blame. Nalbandian played out of his mind.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-11-10, 12:20 PM

Looking at the tournaments for next week. Stuttgart & Bastad.

Stuttgart is the land of flakes. Davydenko. Monfils. Chardy. Simon. Waiting to see any futures for these two. Stuttgart is a funny looking draw. All the names are in the top half, the clay court guys are in the bottom. Bastad looks like Soderling has a shot up top. Maybe Almagro down low since he's with Verdasco. Dunno. Hope they put out the futures soon.

Rglad54 · 07-11-10, 12:34 PM

any good matches in this tourny?

Tsonga · 07-11-10, 01:58 PM

like i mentioned earlier I am backing the Rochus all the way to the win here....i ended up taking rochus at +255 yesterday...then i took fish not to win in straight sets today as well as Rochus +3.5.....feeling pretty good about it too after Rochus takes the first set 7-5. nice.
