    R64: Rusty v. The Retard

    Hewitt opens at 1.65 (Bovada). Will very possibly be looking to make at least a dime on Hewitt. Maybe I should bet more? Less?

    Janowicz will destroy him. Odds are laughable. Will play this only really high
    What exactly favours Hewitt in this matchup?

    Return of serve, volleys, mental strength.

    The big one though. Tennis IQ.

    Think the odds are about right. The match is on Janowicz racquet - so not sure I could ever back Rusty here.

    I value your opinion and will probably still play Hewitt, I don't how big I'll go - we'll see what happens today first. I'm comfortable giving more weight to Hewitt's experience then you are.

    Just like JC said, the main factor is Hewitt's intelligence and knowledge of the sport. It also helps being a former champion of this tournament and a grass specialist. Janowicz is lucky to have made it past Devvarman - I bet on Devvarman that match because of Jerzy's tendency to lose in the 1st rounds lately in tourneys. Not only that, but we all know how big a choker JJ is. The only thing keeping me away from this one is the possibility of Hewitt retiring because of an injury or something. He's a fighter and will do whatever it takes to continue playing, especially at this tournament and because it represents one of his last few chances at winning big money and another slam title, but the retirement factor is too risky for me. If I had to pick though I'd definitely pick Hewitt 3-1 or could even see him winning in straights.

    BOL whatever you decide buddy!

    Thanks for the input. I'm not worried about Hewitt retiring because the match has to be completed @ Bovada.
