    What a terrible start with 2 losses and a retirement. Simon deserved to lose that after the pathetic attempt of closing out the game...Anyway a new day dawns...

    Good day but bugger Belemans was in a great position to likely cover his line too...

    Dogs had a good day today but might throw in a favourite for good measure. Think Isner has been good enough to cover -4.5

    Pretty happy with how that went. Not even too disappointed in Belluci as he had a good dig

    Ecstatically happy with how that panned out, despite all the dogs covering heh. It's not easy I suppose to back a dog at times.

    Hey there Jeff, been a while since I've stopped by to give you props on your tennis picks - certainly been killing it this slam, have certainly made some money off your picks the past few days and am much appreciative!

    I see your confidence in Tsonga today, as I don't recall you making 2u picks very often. Just wondered if you could give some more insight on your confidence level regarding this pick. Just worries me since Tsonga is a known choker, and Cilic has pretty much owned him over the years. Granted Tsonga has been playing at an amazing level so far - I believe he has yet to be broken - but just worried about his mental state with this match. Only asking bc I haven't had the opportunity to watch either of them play so far this tourney. Also wanted to see your thoughts at Over 3.5 sets (pretty heavily juiced) or any value on Tsonga possibly winning in straights? As always, thanks for the insight my friend, and BOL on your plays today!

    Gah! You must have just missed me before the match started, apologies
    I guess like I posted in another thread I was more confident that I thought Jo had been the better guy and Cilic took advantage of a few mentally weak/tired players.
    I don't know if anyone else had heard but I had mail Cilic didn't train today and may have been carrying an ankle injury which may seem silly considering how he started hehe.

    As for the staking, yeah like to keep it simple and the same stake throughout.
    Might do a few more 2u plays or so depending on the feel of it.
    Am tempted to dip my toe on the other side and do o20.5 for the Williams game but don't like to rely on motivation.

    In our punters group of 4 people we were considering staking largely on Jo as well but decided to stake reasonable prob x3 more then what I staked here that's how confident we were but we have about 40u in that kitty though heh.

    Well need two games from Lopez somewhere for this to lose so will happily call the second one a win. Disappointed Jo lose but at least he gave it a good crack.
    And of course as other people saw, the Williams match going to three sets, shocker lol

    Stan finally gets one against Anderson. Suppose it was a big of an ask to back it up against Murray.
    Glad I didnt touch the line for Fed/Gas, looked like going one way then it went the other

    Gonna follow the odds movements and see how they move. That said ill be taking the Stan line now after his convincing win against Andoshit, I reckon money will go his way even though Federer has been the better guy I can see Stan covering even if he loses in 4/5.

    Not sure what I like on the other game, slight lean towards the under but hopefully the market bump it up a bit.

    Not sure what you like in the other game? Djokovic -2.5 sets. Cilic won't do squat against Djokovic.

    Yeah I agree, worried Djoker drops his concentration but I think he will learn from last year and his poor performance.
