I watched him play the other day but the commentators during the match kept talking about and looking for him to struggle with a wrist injury that he recently hurt in practice. He won but maybe played a closer match than expected with an inferior opponent.
ps. he'll probably still sh*t on james blake tonight but it might be something to think about.
Anyone betting on his matches is crazy. One match, you won't be able to tell much unless it was absolutely killing him and his play showed that. 1st round did not definitively show that. There's gonna be a lot of people jumping on Blake for the price because he whipped Clement -a piece of shit in majors- and this injury. This match has no-bet written all over it. No need to use money on the unknown IMO.
+335 for blake goes a long way in a parlay...i was mainly talking to the degenerate gamblers that like yelling at the tv.
all in all, i agree- bad odds on del potro but blake seems to be in rare form. a throwback version of his former self. he was so bad last year but this year- hes showing some life. i dont trust him either...just saying its something to think about.
technically it could go over in 3 (lol) but given blake is playing a bit better and del potro is not at full speed yet maybe blake takes at least a set
Think you guys are reading a lot into one match for Blake against a guy he absolutely has owned (8-0). Today you find out what sort of form Blake is in. If he's on an upswing, he has to be able to push DelPo at less than 100%. If he serves well, Blake may take a tight set 7-5 or 7-6. Think DelPo wins in 4 though if his wrist isn't troubling him. If it is, I would think a retirement will screw Blake backers.
Roddick needs to close this match out in the 3rd and Safina needs to win quick if I'm gonna make the Blake-DelPo match tonight. These late nights are killing me, but I love it. Don't know if I'm gonna make it till 2am two nights in a row when I have to be up at 7.
yea the announcers were like sorry we apologize for andys language. the call was definetly bullshit, it should be auto replay...who cares he won though
