EP, you know a bit about the Challenger circuit.

Blaz Kavic and Uladzimir Ignatik a good bet?

Both dogs.

**Yezzir** · 11-12-10, 06:08 AM

Fukk it, today i'm on Roddick/Ram/Ignatik/Kavcic.

All singles.

**OGUCCI-SBR** · 11-12-10, 07:18 AM

Roddick is the money today.

**JNic** · 11-12-10, 07:25 AM

i like roddick too here, GL ep

**Mikail** · 11-12-10, 07:26 AM

Looks like most everyone likes Roddick (including myself) that kind of worries me.

Kavcic is a pretty good player, but Bemelmans has a real good track record on carpet. Other one seems like it could go either way. Both playing well and both have had some success on carpet before.

Any thoughts on rajeev ram - jesse huta galung?

**EaglesPhan36** · 11-12-10, 09:05 AM

SBR jinx strikes again on Roddick. Guess people should have known to fade me and my awesome week. I should have stuck to F-ing myself instead of picking.

**nicsbr** · 11-12-10, 09:19 AM

I was going to take the dick but the voices in my head said dont 10 seconds before i placed the bet. So i thank them now.

**EaglesPhan36** · 11-12-10, 09:21 AM

Just my opinion on who wins the other matches today, would not recommend anything I say.

Llodra
Federer
Murray

Llodra I think if he holds serve puts all the pressure on the Donkey to get his serve in and that's still a shaky part of the Russian's game from match to match. Of course you've got two Bob Villa guys involved here, so a fix is not out of the question. Federer should cruise. Murray and Monfils is difficult to predict, but Murray's head-2-head against Monfils suggests that if he's here to win and I guess against my prior opinion, he looks to be, then he should win in a tough one.

Hey Ep, I see that Kendrick is playing De voest again in Knoxville. I did have the opp to watch them play vs each other last weekend let me offer a little insight. Kendrick was able to tee off quite a bit on the South Africans 2nd serve and hit some line drives down the line winners. For a big guy Robert moves pretty darn well and had the better net play. I don't think Rik even tried once to attack the net. He was just content to hit with him on the baseline. This played right into Kendricks zone. The price reflects what happened last week. But as we know its sometimes tough to beat someone twice in one week, but on the challenger tour I'm sure it happens all the time.
On another note, Kendrick is a pretty funny guy, kind of a dark sense of humor that made both me and my wife crack up at some of the comments he would make, cause you could hear just about everything that was said on the court. He would hit the ball into the net and say " Harder! Harder! Hit it through the net next time!"

**beefcake** · 11-12-10, 11:03 AM

And Wolmarans got in as a LL and has caught fire. If they get past their first match(doesnt happen often) LL can make a big run..+130

I've parlayed him with Sijsling.

He's on a roll, both are, Kendrick has also beaten De Voest 3 times in a row, all straights.

**EaglesPhan36** · 11-12-10, 11:04 AM

Good stuff. Can't see using Kendrick at the big price in anything but a parlay, but de Voest is flirting with disaster I think. Two straight three setters, I'd go Kendrick. He's beat him pretty routinely twice in the past month or so on hard courts.

**beefcake** · 11-12-10, 11:05 AM

Yes that's a nice 2 teamer there!

It's obviously a risk, as it is challenger, but it pays a nice +104.

**Yezzir** · 11-12-10, 11:07 AM

Llodra gonna cash baby

**EaglesPhan36** · 11-12-10, 11:10 AM

Looks good. Took that one on the side to offset Roddick. Feels better.

**Mikail** · 11-12-10, 11:11 AM

damn! Unfortunately for me I had Roddick and Llodra parlayed.

**beefcake** · 11-12-10, 12:28 PM

OH CRAP EP,,,,,,The ATP asian matches are at 10pm tonight...4 countries are playing who shouldn't even have ATP players...!!

KYRGYZSTAN all the way

**EaglesPhan36** · 11-12-10, 01:57 PM

Federer crushing Melzer. Wonder if Murray is watching, wonder if it's changing his mind on how hard he's going to try today?

Just sayin' ... if Feddy is gonna smoke you somewhere, I'd think you'd want to wait until next week. Might pop a mini-shot with Monfils just for kicks. I think Murray wins, but I also think anything can happen in that one.

**ronaldo922** · 11-12-10, 02:23 PM

melzer better not steal this 2nd set. tiebreaker still wins the under. that .5 might come in play

**Mikail** · 11-12-10, 02:26 PM

Wouldn't suprise me if Murray decides to exit paris today. Monfils will have the home crowd and you know he feeds off the attention. Probably will take the over and a small play on Monfils.

**ronaldo922** · 11-12-10, 02:27 PM

how has monfils leg looked, he was hobbling around earlier in the week?

**Yezzir** · 11-12-10, 02:28 PM

Nobody is fukkin with Federer on these courts, in this form.

He's beastin'.

Monfils/Murray over for me.

Llodra saved my ass.

Cash this bad boy.

**Mikail** · 11-12-10, 03:58 PM

Monfils rolled in the 1st.

**beefcake** · 11-12-10, 08:37 PM

Who would have thought that Kendrick would be the hottest player on tour at the end of the year..Including doubles...13 match win streak..

**MUHerd37** · 11-13-10, 02:11 PM

Federer had 5 match points and lost! What a terrible loss. Not sure that he's ever done that before.
