Djokovic loses in straight sets
Only outright left now is Soderling.

Nadal is just about to win over Isner

**Stacocakes** · 03-17-10, 08:06 PM

Soderling beats Tsonga easily in two sets. Very good. Last outright is still alive

Robredo takes the first set off Baghdatis. I think that match will go three sets

**Living The Dream** · 03-17-10, 10:19 PM

Does Almagro have a shot?

**Totolover1409** · 03-17-10, 11:17 PM

Joker's loss was hella disappointing.

**thecomebacker** · 03-18-10, 12:00 AM

really bad day in tennis for me...

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 12:02 AM

Odds going crazy in the murray match right now. Almagro has the trainer on and is not feeling good. I got Murray at 1.07 right after the set when the trainer was coming out and its now down to 1.03.I hope he retires because if he doesn't and goes back out there and wins this match I will be pissed.Just banking on a retirement

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 12:03 AM

So he said he wasn't feeling well and now he is getting tape on his foot.....

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 01:27 AM

Almagro retired which worked out perfect.Could tell when the trainer was talking to him that he was going to be a bitch the rest of the match

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 10:54 AM

I am going to continue to ride the Jankovic underdog train. I will take Jankovic +102 over Kleybanova. No idea how Kleybanova is still in this tournament. Suarez Navarro had her done in the second set but Alisa showed amazing fight to come back in that match. Fitness has to be an issue at this point for her. She has played alot of tennis lately. She is in alot better shape now then she was a year ago but still,it has to catch up to her at some point. This match could be a breakfest so I am going to bet Jankovic as the dog and then not watch the match at all.Don't need to lose 3 years off my life watching this match go back and forth. Kleybanova is 2-1 head to head vs Jankovic but Jankovic won the last meeting just recently with a fed cup match in 3 sets.

Nadal and Berdych have played 9 times and Nadal has won 6 of them including the last 5. Solely based on the odds here I am going to take a chance on Berdych at +257. Nadal seems to be playing well but you never know when his injuries will creep up again.

Best of luck today guys. Lets make some money

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 03:03 PM

Jankovic takes the first set

**Totolover1409** · 03-18-10, 03:57 PM

Tailed you Staco. Great win! But i dont think Jankovic will take it all. Like Wozniacki to win it all

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 04:05 PM

Jankovic wins in straight sets
Nice Toto. Ya I don't think Jankovic will win it all either but it was a good win today.Thought she was going to blow the second set when she was down a break.

Still have Berdych left tonight over Nadal. An upset there would be amazing

**Totolover1409** · 03-18-10, 06:19 PM

BOL brother.

**Stacocakes** · 03-18-10, 09:49 PM

Berdych broken first game. Ya this is going to be a short night
Should have quit while I was ahead with Jankovic haha

**Totolover1409** · 03-18-10, 09:57 PM

It aint over til its over

**michalis** · 03-18-10, 11:34 PM

berdych looking good, I went with nadal and now thinking he might loose

**Totolover1409** · 03-19-10, 12:04 AM

There is some light STACO

**Boner_18** · 03-19-10, 08:37 AM

Bummer man. The kid shows promise to take down a 250 or something but I guess Nadal was closer to 100% than I thought.

if nadal was 100% this game would have finished in less than 1 hour

nadal is just hungry for this title and he will get it, he wants it too bad its been a rough year for him

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 10:46 AM

Nadal played well last night. Good to see him win because he is a player that gives it all on the court unlike most of these other player's who half ass the matches all of the time.
Still have my Soderling outright so I am just going to let it ride. Not going to bet on the Soderling/Murray match today. I am not really confident of a Soderling win here. They haven't had a match against eachother since 2006 so we don't really have much to go by but Murray is the better player.Just hoping that Soderling can be the better player for today.

Roddick -700 over Robredo is a definate no play.I think Roddick wins this match but not going to lay that type of price on him. They have played 10 times in their careers and Roddick has won all 10. Wow. He's even won the matches that they played eachother on clay. Very surprising. Definate no play here.

I think I am going to get off of the Jankovic train right now. Back to back wins with her was good but Stosur is going to be hard for her to beat. Jankovic has won both matches the two have played but they were back in 2006 and 2007 which don't really matter. Just not really feeling right about this match so I am going to skip it all together.

Radwanska/Wozniacki. The price says it all. This match is a complete toss up. 1-1 is the head to head record between the two with Wozniacki winning the last match in 2008 which again is long ago. These two are much better now. I need some action today so I am going to go with a gut feeling on Wozniacki here. Just going to go with the better player in this one. The -106 odds are good so it won't be a costly loss if it doesn't hit.

Wozniacki -106 is the play

Good luck today guys.Let's make some money

**tailmypicks** · 03-19-10, 11:59 AM

gonna tail u on wozniacki

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 03:49 PM

Jankovic wins easily.Should have stayed on the train

Let's do this tail

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-19-10, 03:55 PM

Lots of money on Murray now. Soderling is out to +188 at 5Dimes. I'm definitely buying an extra piece of that. I got unders on Roddick/Robredo at 22. Roddick's been broken once the whole tourney, so I am hoping he breaks Robredo early and gets a 6-4, 6-4 type of win or better.

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 05:30 PM

Nice hit on the under Eagles. Let's hope for a Soderling win tonight.Will be good for all

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 05:49 PM

Soderling match about to start.This should be a good one

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 06:05 PM

2 bps soder

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 06:06 PM

boom break Soderling

Huge

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 06:15 PM

Double break first set for Soderling.Wow

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 06:30 PM

6-1 first set Soderling

Soderling is bashing the ball so hard Murray has no chance

Surely this can't be an easy two set walk.Murray must be saving up some energy for the second set. If he keeps playing the way he is this will be done soon though

**BernardMadoff** · 03-19-10, 06:48 PM

Immediately after 6-1 set, I took Soderling at -260. I remember last year at this tourney Murray got blew out by Fed, the wind was a huge factor and bothered Murray a whole lot, he was very tentative, hopefully Soderling keeps rolling.

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 07:15 PM

What a choke by soderling.This is what I was afraid of.Hopefully he can compose himself

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 07:20 PM

Soderling has to win this in a tiebreak or else Murray wins the match

**BernardMadoff** · 03-19-10, 07:24 PM

Started to hedge this at Murray +1063 and should have, Soderling only tries when he's serving it seems like.

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 07:28 PM

Soderling wins the tiebreak and the match. That could have been very bad if Murray got that tiebreak. Outright is still alive nice. Nice hit on Soderling Eagles

Lets cash Wozniacki now

**Stacocakes** · 03-19-10, 07:29 PM

Nice hit Madoff
