EP36's Tennis Talk

Rochus came through and got me the handicap and the set...Congrats on your Fish future EP.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-11-10, 04:14 PM

Thanks man. Enjoyed not having to try and watch two things at the same time today. Hopefully this coming week will be a solid one for the tennis forum.

Since you are the master of parlays, do you have an opinion on Hanescu/Chardy parlay for tomorrow. I am getting 1.9 at bet365 but I am sure better payouts will be available at pinnacle.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-11-10, 07:02 PM

Chardy is on my no-fly list. I've been screwed in his matches a lot this season. I actually probably give Gimeno a shot in this one. He's just played through a final at a clay Challenger and has been in decent form on dirt albeit at the lower level. Chardy has just generally had a poor season.

How bout Hanescu at 25-1 to win the mercedes cup? He got tot the final last year.

Wilforth · 07-11-10, 10:09 PM

EP,

Looking forward to your Monday pick(s).

EaglesPhan36 · 07-11-10, 11:55 PM

The Stuttgart tourney you could take any of about 6 guys and have a shot. Monfils and Hanescu up to perhaps. Melzer maybe down low. Davydenko at 2-1 is probably the lamest wager in this one. Guy is gonna be burned out from Davis Cup and is in pretty crappy form to boot. Unseeded player has won 6 of the last 10 titles. Chela 33:1?

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 12:41 AM

FUTURES

Mercedes Cup
CHELA +3300
MONFILS +600

Not gonna bother on the Swedish Open. I think Soderling has the inside track, but +120 is pretty short. Almagro at +500 maybe on the bottom, but Soderling should win this in theory - so long as Ferrer doesn't show up with a mindset to win.

MONDAY

PARLAY: HANESCU + RIBA [+110]
Hansecu draws Chiudinelli in Stuttgart. Clay is not a good surface for the Swiss as he is 23-36 lifetime on dirt. Hanescu has been off for a month which hopefully improves his form. On clay in 2010, he has been so-so, but rarely loses to non-clay court types like Chiudinelli. Hanescu made the final in Germany last year, so hopefully he likes the courts again. Riba is a good looking Spanish youngster with clay court skills. He's been on this surface in between Wimbledon, winning a Challenger and going 2-1 last week at a Challenger. He has Luczak to go up against. The Australian vet played a Clay challenger last week and lost in the 2nd round. On dirt, he's 0-7 in ATP main draws this season. If Riba can get off to a good start, I think he's got the better clay court game.

Going to tail your parlay for a little Eagle. Don't really know much about tennis but with no baseball and the world cup over I needed something to bet on!!!! Good luck

manidyon · 07-12-10, 02:20 AM

thanks eagles

Mirar Baseball · 07-12-10, 03:14 AM

there's a shiny sbr point for you sir

snoto · 07-12-10, 03:56 AM

Small tail on your parlay, GL all!

vinnysantos · 07-12-10, 05:25 AM

Good luck EP

mistral · 07-12-10, 07:57 AM

Come on Riba!

beefcake · 07-12-10, 08:19 AM

Settle down Pere,you got this aussie!

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 08:29 AM

Pretty sloppy serving from both. Got a break and then choked it right back. Not looking real good at this point. Hopefully Luczak helps choke the set away, but probably not after that little hiccup.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 08:38 AM

Well, Luczak has helped. 5-2 Riba. Luczak serving. Trying to get to a 3rd set. C'moooon!

PetrGasparik · 07-12-10, 08:39 AM

Come on, Marco!

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 08:42 AM

That's more like it. Riba gets the 2nd, 6-2 with Luczak getting broken for a third time. Also means Riba gets to serve to start the 3rd.

Hanescu & Chud on-serve at 4-4.

mistral · 07-12-10, 08:43 AM

Finally he found himself. set s 1-1

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 08:53 AM

Early break in the 3rd to Riba. Let's consolidate this sucker and roll.

noober · 07-12-10, 09:02 AM

hanescu not looking good though

domz248 · 07-12-10, 09:02 AM

Hanescu can't finish this first set for shit

domz248 · 07-12-10, 09:05 AM

Hanescu blows it of course

PetrGasparik · 07-12-10, 09:06 AM

Marco - Victor 7-6
sorry guys, but I am happy

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 09:12 AM

Well Riba has it in the bag. Hanescu needs to regroup. Chance to break right off the bat in the 2nd.

noober · 07-12-10, 09:14 AM

didn't break. this looks like a 2 set victory for marco.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 09:15 AM

Well Riba is screwing around at the end here. Hanescu might make it moot anyhow.

When you're on the opposite side as the person who started the thread, it's not really cool to cheer on your play in here. Plenty of other places to do that.

With that being said, the Romanian hasn't given up. Time for him to start schooling that chump or just go loco again so we can have our bets voided.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 09:24 AM

Riba appears to be in full choke mode. Was up 5-1, now about to be 5-4.
