[Dr.Gonzo]

Laying the chalk on Lopez here.

GL

[Fthenorm]

such is my inclination as well, hope it aint a square play...I havent seen much of Stephane other than his huge dog hit(s)

[RobbReport]

Lopez takes this.

[michalis]

what does it mean

laying the chalk

and

square game?

also think lopez has this

[kingsr]

SQUARE = inexperienced gambler

Laying the chalk = Placing a bet on the favourite

just the same.. Lopez forever

[Tsonga]

i'm on lopez because of his experience over robert. If Lopez serves like yesterday he should take it...his backhand side is vulnerable but hopefully the other guy is overwhelmed, he has only won a few atp matches so far in his career.

[Boner_18]

I'm on Lopez -3.5 games. Robert was let into this final by Ferrer, he didn't play well at all in that match. As of now Lopez is dominating the serve... need to get some breaks.

[Boner_18]

REally wish we could get a break to take the 1st set 7-5. Don't wanna go into the second looking for 3 games.

[Boner_18]

3 break chances to keep the handicap (-3.5) fellas squarly in the game.

[Boner_18]

blows 2 on good robert serves.

[Boner_18]

wtf.

[Boner_18]

Lopez is 0-8 on break chances.

[Boner_18]

Finally, 1-9 break chances. Gonna need him to break one in the second set to cash the handicap.

[Tsonga]

i'm on the ML - let's see if he can get that -3.5

[Tsonga]

looking pretty safe now...part of my reason backing lopez here was because next tournament his first match is against davydenko and I figure he knows he'll probably be one and done there and will want to close out this tournament with a win.

[Tsonga]

nice win

[Boner_18]

Excellent Lopez backers.

[ji03]

nice hit for the Lopez backers as he ran away with the second set.
