Damn whores got me yesterday.
Lots of upsets with Wozniacki, Bouchard, and my personal nightmare Petkovic topped off by the match point save and then choke from Young.
12:00pm Andreas Seppi +120 v Yen-Hsun Lu -140
Lu gets it done here. Consistent with a potent backhand. Seppi has been decent on the hard courts but has been beating clay court specialists and French guys so this is the match he realizes he is Italian and would rather be drinking wine in NY than playing tennis in the south.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1:00pm Barbora Zahlavova Strycova +305 v Petra Kvitova -365
I love Strycova's game and she's feisty as hell but she has trouble holding serve and is 1-4 H2H v Kvitova. Pretty damn chalky though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2:30pm Magdalena Rybarikova -135 v Alison Riske +115
Rybarikova seems to have gotten her head out of her ass with two impressive wins against Soler-Espinosa and Halep after a dreadful summer. Riske is up and down (mostly down) and Rybarikova destroyed her two weeks ago in Montreal in their only meeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:00pm Jerzy Janowicz +145 v David Goffin -165
Goffin is rolling fools and while Jerzy has a big powerful serve/forehand and has shown surprising grit in winning 3 sets matches against Sousa and ERV at the end of the day this is Jerzy we're talking about and his wins are against a shitty Sousa and a French ERV.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:00pm Camila Giorgi +120 v Garbine Muguruza -140
These two are too Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to pick a winner. I'd like to see them mud wrestle but won't be choosing a side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:30pm John Isner -465 v Lukas Rosol +370
Isner is going to win this tournament and look like shit doing it. Too much chalk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00pm Guillermo Garcia-Lopez +190 v Sam Querrey -230
Avoiding Queer Eye for the Straight Guy but he seems to be playing well and while GGL is talented he has had a shit summer and only beat mental midgets Brown and choked but won against Young. Querrey wins but I'm not playing in his sandbox b/c it might get in his vagina.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00pm Kirsten Flipkens +205 v Samantha Stosur -245
Flap-jack killed me against Petkovic and her style of hitting out on the forehand side and playing shitbag slice shots from the backhand annoys everyone she plays. Stosur has been in excellent form the last two weeks and I look for that to continue. Flap-jack will be out of gas and Stosur will roll though it will be painful at times and you'll probably throw up in your mouth a few times while watching.
