    How about that Ancic beating Benneteau? I'm gonna keep tracking this guy. I'd like to see him continue to play well. He was a favorite of mine before he got that weird illness.

      Ya Ancic has always been a player I liked as well. Guess when he quit to study to become a lawyer he realized how much more he could earn playing tennis and how much less work it is. Hopefully he dedicates himself to the game this time around
      Weird though how in both matches this tournament he has dropped his first or second service game of the match and then lost the first set in each. He can't keep doing that as this tournament goes on.

          Karlovic goes down in straight sets. What I deserve for making a play that I wasn't totally into

            I liked Almagro for the price, but passed. Karlovic is a guy when he plays someone with a pulse on hard courts that I don't back over maybe -125 because of matches like this.

              Ya I totally agree. I was just pressing for some action so I took Ivo and got burned

              Soderling wins to move on but SHarapova loses the first set.Nothing can ever be easy with her

              Monfils wins the first set 6-1 and is about to lose this match possibly to Simon Greul. Very surprising. Seems alot of these players just don't care

                Maria up a break in the third set but she has the trainer out for her arm

                Hope she just needs a break

                  4 breaks in 6 games in the third set of the SHarapova match. She is going to send me to an early grave

                  Nalbandian bows out

                  Andreev is starting now so hopefully he can get back some of the money I lost on ivo

                  Dementieva started out slow but seems ok now

                      There goes one of the outrights with Sharapova going down. She was coming back from the dead all tournament so it was only a matter of time

                        GHN I think the Blake/Ferrer match will be a three set match. I've played the over 23.5 +104 for it.

                        Neither of these players ever win easy so it will be a battle.

                        As far as a side for the match...way to close to call. Would take Blake if I had to choose but I am just sick of him and don't want to bet on him anymore.I've lost enough with him

                        Best of luck in the match

                          Andreev wins the first set then completely blows the match. Day just keeps getting better and better.
                          Blake wins the first set 6-1 over Ferrer....................
                          Lost 2 plays and an outright so far
                          Will have to regroup and get it back tomorrow

                            0-3 day with a lost outright as well

                            Can't get any worse then that really. Hopefully you guys made some money today

                            Time to get back on the horse again tomorrow with some winnings plays

                              Davydenko pulled out of the tournament with a wrist injury

                              Not to much looking good at first glance on the mens side tomorrow unless you want to pay a big price. On the womens side I am looking at possibly Stosur over Pavlyuchenkova as a +138 dog but not to sure yet. Will think about it some more.

                                I've been terrible, much worse than 0-3, hitting 2-7. Mostly losing on faves. Was looking at Berdych overnight but it moved to +160 at 5dimes... liked it a lot more at +190. GL going forward.

                                  Davydenko being out makes Verdasco an interesting futures addition. At +2200, if he gets by Berdych today which I think he should - he draws Troicki and then either Nadal or Querrey/Isner to get into the semis. It's not without its pitfalls, but it might be more valuable than having Soderling or Tsonga at the same price who will play each other and then still have to go through Murray just to likely get Federer.

                                    Stosur wins easily in 2 sets

                                    Nadal was -1200 or so against Ancic overnight and now is currently at -750 ish so Ancic is getting hammered. I think Ancic's run has come to an end here but Nadal is unbettable at this price with his current form.

                                    Verdasco/Berdych will be a great match. Looks like a three set match to me but then again so did the Blake/Ferrer match haha. Head to head is 4-3 Berdych. Both players are coming into this tournament playing well though so it is a definate no play side wise.

                                    Isner/Querrey is going to be a great match as well. Very tight. Have Querrey outrights so I am just hoping he wins the match.

                                    Ljubicic at -281........will never back him as a big favorite ever

                                    Zvonareva was -450 or so last night and is currently -330. Lots of money coming in on the dogs today

                                    I put some money on DJokovic today but was to emberassed to put his odds down as one of my plays on here. Wouldn't recommend anyone else betting a player at those odds I am just crazy. He broke KOhlschreiber right off the bat though so I have already hedged out of the Djokovic bet for a profit.Not going to take a chance on him blowing the match down the road.

                                    JCF is currently getting some medical treatment on his foot.

                                    Wanted to take Peer today over Pennetta but chickened out.

                                    Nothing really left on the board that I like.Going to hold off and not push it.Seems my forced bets are always losers

                                      I don't think you have to worry about Djkovovic. He's playing the best tennis of the men at this point. He fought through bad conditions the other night and I bet the light in his head went on when Cilic got clubbed that this is his half of the draw to take for sure now.

                                        Of course as soon as I say that he gets rolled in the 2nd set.

                                          Ack. I think Djokovic is gonna crap out. So much for that smooth road after Cilic lost. Man if you took a long shot in this half of the draw, great value.

                                            Can't believe Djokovic is blowing that match.He was up 2-0 in the second set and his odds were 1.03 when I went to take a nap and now he has lost 9 games in a row?What the hell is happening?
                                            Glad I hedged out of the djokovic match but my outright might be good as gone

                                              Yep me too. JCF also dying in the 3rd after it looked like he might take control against Monaco. You got any opinions on Nadal-Ancic as far as games at 19.5?

                                                Ancic's matches have all been going three sets. I would lean the over if anything in that match. Not going to play it though. I think Nadal wins but I am not really sure if Ancic will take a set or not

                                                  Yeah I think it's either competitive enough to cash or a white wash like 6-3, 6-3. I'm taking the over to try and make back some of my pending JCF losses. Good thing I only took him on the handicap instead of the moneyline.

                                                      Ferrero had a trainer at least once in the match.Was having foot problems.That was at the start of the second set though so he won that set so I guess the foot didn't hurt him that much
