Isner big today

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-23-10, 01:59 PM

I can see taking a shot, but BIG with him on clay? Think that is a bad idea personally. It's his 1st clay court match of the year and he just doesn't play on the surface much at all. Good luck since I have nothing invested in this one.

Yeah. Just a normal play for me at +125. He is decidedly a mediocre clay player and Greul is a decent one, perhaps above average for the surface. Clay shouldn't neutralize the serve but the rest of his game will suffer. Greul is in terrible form over his last 2 serving more than 1 DF/service game.

..... I ain't playing it and yall know I'll play anything so. The surface should make it more than competitive. It's only +2 Isner if you could get +2.5 I'd probably take that, but that' it.

Yeah throw the records and YTD out the window for this one. I actually like Greul -2 in his one. Isner would be in Florida this week if they Davis Cup wasn't on clay. He would never have put this one on his calendar

isners got a big-time serve but its not hard courts here...think this one mite be greul

Well, last year Isner went to DelRay where the purse is $500,000 there.
Acapulco is over a $1,000,000 purse this year and DelRay still 500K
To me its like a nice horse, if you are in good form, midas well go where the big $$$ are.
As far as the Davis Cup thing, I cant comment on that, I dont know enough.
Going with the guy in good form.

Good Luck to us all!

on it too lets do it.

Greul double faults up 40-15... he is getting in very few 1st serves still but he wins the game at 30.... 2-2

**Tsonga** · 02-24-10, 10:33 AM

greul was 90% on his first serves for the match! and just like that Querrey and Isner are out.

**Jrod124** · 02-24-10, 03:36 PM

Both played well, but as I said if Davis Cup wasn't on clay they wouldn't have been in Mexico. Both these guys would have been the two favorites in Delray Beach given their current form. P-Mac prolly told them to get their butts down to Acapulco for some clay court tuneup. I was impressed with Querrey more, I expected him to get killed in that matchup with Gonzo. Makes me believe one of these guys could beat a Tipsy or a Troicki on Day 1 and give USA a chance in this tie

**cappinthepigs** · 02-24-10, 04:05 PM

I don't know about that. Niether is very good at all on clay.
