Huge by Djokovic to save all 3 match points

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-15-10, 04:37 PM

Man this is a Maalox special. Djokovic staves off 0-40 to tie it 5-5. Doosh better win this after that one.

Djokovic wins
Thank god
What a brutal match

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-15-10, 04:52 PM

Thank goodness. I'm alive with you on the futures still. Hopefully he gets better from here. Ljubicic or Dabul and then someone like Monaco or Bellucci or GGL? If he can't get to the semis, he's a total bonehead.

**tailmypicks** · 03-15-10, 04:53 PM

djokovic and kohly played a wta match

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 06:08 PM

Hopefully you stayed away from that Nadal match Eagles. Looks like an easy two set win for him.

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 06:08 PM

Do you guys like any plays for tonight or tomorrow?

**princesspolamalu** · 03-15-10, 06:17 PM

I usually take the big boys -5 or whatever it is. Prices are usually reasonable and it works out most times in the earlier rounds. Today Nadal was-128 (spread) as opposed to the -1600 or whatever outrageous number it is. Ill take a look at Fed and the spread tom and perhaps Andy Murray. But for a straight up pick I really like Soderling. Perhaps a small play on James Blake. He tends to kill me though. LOL.

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 07:27 PM

Geez Blake kills everyone.I feel your pain
Salmon Steak, sweet name. These are definately not Robredo's courts and you factor in that Sela is 3-0 head to head against Robredo and he seems like the play. Have to be carefull though because Sela has only won 3 out of his last 10 matches. I would stay away personally.

thanks, i just figured the odds were blown up because of their rankings. might stay away with that 3 wins in last ten.

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 09:43 PM

Wow whoever mentioned berdych earlier great call. Was some juicy odds on him today as he takes out verdasco in two sets.Great hit

Since I didn't take Peer she wins of course.

Jankovic had some problems but came back

Zvonareva (My outright) cruises into the next round.Good job

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 10:01 PM

Azarenka loses the first set.Hope she loses this match.She is the one player that is worrying me with my Zvonareva future in that quarter of the bracket

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-15-10, 10:13 PM

Definitely a TON of value Almagro +225 against Blake. Blake superbly over-valued after beating Ferrer. Almagro is competent on hard courts. Blake shouldn't be anything more than maybe -175 and even that would be high to me.

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 10:34 PM

Wow totally Eagles.I hadn't even looked at the lines yet. Blake as a -250 or more favorite is ridiculous at this point of his career. Will take Almagro before the books wake up

Azarenka gone. Very good. Opens up the field nicely

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 10:35 PM

Almagro already coming down. See Blake at -215 on Pinnacle

Going to take Almagro at +200

Wish I had that line you got Eagles

**Stacocakes** · 03-15-10, 10:40 PM

Huge Clijsters loses the first set

Wow that would be amazing if yet another one goes down

**Stacocakes** · 03-16-10, 12:37 AM

Clijsters goes down in a third set tiebreak. Big names losing left and right on the womens end.Unbelievable

**Stacocakes** · 03-16-10, 04:01 AM

Well Querrey was a huge longshot and he goes down in flames tonight. Still have Soderling, Djokovic and Zvonareva outrights going

**Stacocakes** · 03-16-10, 04:04 AM

Some leans for tomorrow but so far only the Almagro play above has been made official:

Jankovic over Peer
Wickmayer over Martinez-Sanchez
Bartoli over Radwanska

Like the Wickmayer play the most. The other two just have decent odds so was considering a flyer on them. Will think about it overnight. Do you guys like anything for tomorrow?

Already placed my bet for Rad over Bartoli, why do you see Bartoli winning?

**BernardMadoff** · 03-16-10, 04:38 AM

Anyone thinking of taking Sela over Robredo?

**PingPong** · 03-16-10, 09:24 AM

sela is 3-0 vs robredo right?

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-16-10, 09:41 AM

Last time I remember this many people talking about taking someone over Robredo, Robredo crushed the other guy. Just saying. Also take into account the head-2-head is mostly from 2008 and Wimbledon in 2009. I don't know that they mean much here.

Yeah i was on the fade Robredo train for a while. It was profitable with Mayer and Melzer but I think it was Benneteau coming off Marseille where I bet it blindly and lost. Robredo/Sela probably priced about right but if it keeps moving for Robredo I might hit that at -110 or less.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-16-10, 10:00 AM

Yeah Benneteau was it. Good memory.
