Victoria Azarenka -200
Risk 10.00 to win 5.00

Holy crap!!!...Victoria has killed me all year...Is she finally back? You seem to think so! Good luck on this Babe!!

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 09:47 AM

Believe me she has killed me much more than she has killed you - and this also goes for when I bet against her and she wins

. In January I wanted to keep track of my "player record" just for fun but never got around to do it. I think she is turning the corner. I might be regretting this play after a couple of smashed rackets but I do think she will come through in the end. I feel semi-comfortable with this play.

**bolekblues** · 08-19-10, 10:40 AM

With you on Azarenka. Good Luck.

**beefcake** · 08-19-10, 11:16 AM

opening break by the gulbster..Lets keep it rolling!

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 11:18 AM

I LOVED his prematch comments. The issue with Gulbis is motivation. He can win any match if motivated, and today he is motivated. C'Mon Ernie!

**limitation** · 08-19-10, 11:25 AM

I have over on Gulbis match so will be cheering for you as long as we get 7-5. 7-5!

**bdevil** · 08-19-10, 11:36 AM

Damn, Azarenka is so funny and noisy.

Great call TB. I took Li + 1 1/2 sets and was feeling good when it was 2-0 in the 1st. After that Victoria just layed the smackdown on Li. What a way to start the day.

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 11:43 AM

Too bad SBR didn't have that Azarenka line up in their book

**shari91** · 08-19-10, 11:47 AM

After taking our Melzer money, Gulbis owes us this one. He just needs to get his first serve % up.

They're shocking. I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before but I couldn't find one women's match listed.

Or bankroll.

First set to gulbi!!!

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 12:06 PM

Let's hope Ernie keeps his head on his shoulders

If you don't have the bankroll for a 10 point play - you're betting too much of your bank per point ....

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 01:37 PM

Dear Ernest,

May you please keep your head together for the next 2 minutes while Murray is serving and try to break him. Please no unforced errors on the first return point. Please don't go for a winner on the first strike. One deep return is all that is needed.

**blackbeSSt** · 08-19-10, 01:39 PM

i see the dreaded tie break coming up. tis not been good to us lately

Well, considering Gulbis is the one who stiffed us in the tiebreak yesterday, let's hope he's capable of winning one more.

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 01:44 PM

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 01:50 PM

Gublis handed Murray the 2 pts he needed to win that tiebreaker. Murray wanted to give Gulbis the match for over 2 hours, and Gulbis said I don't want it

Tomas Berdych -250
Risk 5.00 to win 2.00

**limitation** · 08-19-10, 02:30 PM

I guess you are not impressed with Baggy from his last game.

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 08-19-10, 02:34 PM

I'm on the Berdych myself...

**TennisBabe** · 08-19-10, 02:34 PM

My last memory of these 2 was early in January when they played @ Brisbane. I was on Marcos that match because he was coming off a great Fall run. That match was I believe 6am ET. I woke up 40 minutes late and when I turned on my computer it was 6-0, 4-1 Berdych :-)

I expected Marcos to have an easier time last round but he didn't. He might make this match interesting but in these faster courts Berdych should prevail
