Worst match on the entire board today, but if you put a gun to my head, I would probably play that crazy Russian as well. However, the odds are no where near where they would need to be for me to make a play on him and at the same time, can't lay juice on Monfils with all the talk of his health. Good luck with the play.

**tailmypicks** · 02-12-10, 06:59 AM

monfils is always either sick or injured

**Boner_18** · 02-12-10, 07:09 AM

Gonna do a write up on this one i think. Prolly will end up on the +$ as this looks to me to be a coin flip. GL to you LT.

**soli** · 02-12-10, 07:39 AM

Thanks for the info, I haven't been keeping up with Tennis and need all the help I can get.

**LT Profits** · 02-12-10, 07:43 AM

And a little over an hour after my post, you would now be hard-pressed to find better than +110 on Yooz. Even at -2.55, I am moving lines.

**dlweaver** · 02-12-10, 07:52 AM

if i play it i'm on Monfils

**THEGREAT30** · 02-12-10, 08:13 AM

where can I find good tennis stats other than the official ATP page?

**THEGREAT30** · 02-12-10, 08:15 AM

I see Monfils has gotten the short end of this series so far

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-12-10, 08:41 AM

The price has fallen into the range where I'd be on Monfils. No Tweets today from Monfils telling us that he is sick or feeling bad. Funny that the line moved hard in his first match when he tweeted about being up late and not feeling well.

History between these two is moot to me. The only two meetings are three and five years ago.

**ji03** · 02-12-10, 09:50 AM

GL LT, I got this one too.

**JNic** · 02-12-10, 10:13 AM

great pick, am all over it

**bigboyfosho** · 02-12-10, 10:43 AM

down to +105 tp +115

**Marginalis** · 02-12-10, 11:06 AM

good luck with the play

Tennis Insight is pretty decent.

**beefcake** · 02-12-10, 11:15 AM

smells like a pass for me..

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-12-10, 11:21 AM

Agreeing with beefcake the more I look at it. I don't like having to guess who is going to be healthier. Good luck LT.

**TennisBabe** · 02-12-10, 11:48 AM

Both players nursing injuries...No play for me

**LT Profits** · 02-12-10, 12:03 PM

Regardless of the outcome, it is always good to get the best of the odds.

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 12:36 PM

i'd never take youzhny against anyone in the top 100

he is capable of winning today but still its a gamble

I think the odds I got make him worth the risk. I would not have played Youzhny at +115 or less.

**Boner_18** · 02-12-10, 01:41 PM

I like it at Youzhny +135. The line bounced back a bit to +125. Not betting it b/c i got to lazy and didn't cap it but I don't disagree w/ the pick. GL to you.

**constrictor** · 02-12-10, 02:09 PM

Youzhny looking good

I am sorry boner still trying to get a grip on the terminology people use on the forum

when you say you didnt cap it you mean you didnt study the players?

thanx

**TennisBabe** · 02-12-10, 02:39 PM

Monfils ALWAYS starts off slow and works his way into the match

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 02:45 PM

youzhny is not even half the player he used to be

is inconsistency embedded somehow in the russian dna?

**w3coyote** · 02-12-10, 02:58 PM

Argh, I have always felt backing Monfils very difficult because after every point he looks like he's going to die of exhaustion in any second. I wonder what he looks like when he is really tired. It's very painful to watch his matches.

**TennisBabe** · 02-12-10, 03:21 PM

Looks to be going 3. Monfils can't get a first serve in and is getting killed thereafter

**ringemup** · 02-12-10, 03:22 PM

monfils gets edge

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 03:26 PM

i feel like an idiot taking youzhny for the second set, he wants to let monfils back into this

omg he just cant win the effing game

**TennisBabe** · 02-12-10, 03:32 PM

Shocked Monfils is gutting it out so much down 2 breaks

**TennisBabe** · 02-12-10, 03:34 PM

Well he breaks. Still down a break. Curious to see how his service game goes here.

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 03:34 PM

im afraid that if monfils gets the break here we will have a first set all over again

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 03:40 PM

lets see how many set points this russian is gonna loose today

**michalis** · 02-12-10, 03:42 PM

just lost the 7th set point i think
