Only if Soderling will improve a lot....he cannot survive this set with giving 2 bp-s each game

**JNic** · 04-02-10, 07:03 PM

serve is looking so good right now

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:04 PM

The problem is, that he keeps hitting big UE-s from easy shots

and not small outs, HUGE ones

exactly, Berdych always has these mental breakdowns somewhere. just gotta keep staying around with that serve

**JNic** · 04-02-10, 07:08 PM

Idk how he can go from dominating every rally against Youzhny to just falling apart here

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:08 PM

0-30

Game over break coming

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:09 PM

Berdych just missed an easy shot for 3 bp-s

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:11 PM

bp.......5 last pts without even 1 first serve falling in....make it 6

Game over

**JNic** · 04-02-10, 07:11 PM

yea this is over, unless berdych chokes

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:13 PM

I don't know what happened today with Soderling.

He is playing like he doesn't even care....

**MUHerd37** · 04-02-10, 07:13 PM

Yeah but Berdych didn't choke against Federer or Verdasco. So why should he choke now?

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:15 PM

Enough for me of this match. Enough of this damn tournament....

I still can't believe Berdych is fooking me 3rd time in a row....against 3 better opponents....all choking against a mentally weak player......this is just unbelievable

**Stacocakes** · 04-02-10, 07:20 PM

Disapointing from Soderling.Just totally tanked this match away

**fixxer** · 04-02-10, 07:20 PM

This was just sick

**MUHerd37** · 04-02-10, 07:21 PM

Does this make it easier for us Sunday? I mean Roddick would look like the correct play.

**Stacocakes** · 04-02-10, 07:44 PM

Roddick line isn't up yet

Berdych has been single handedly kicking my ass. I want to take Roddick though unless the line is ridiculous

**Stacocakes** · 04-02-10, 08:28 PM

-186 Roddick

Yikes
Thought it would be a bit less. Not to sure now

**JNic** · 04-02-10, 11:06 PM

yea wow this is a tough line to deal with

**MilfDriller** · 04-03-10, 12:53 AM

Over looks to be the play.

**Boner_18** · 04-03-10, 06:51 AM

Jesus. I dunno what to do. Maybe a no play is the best thing for me. Clear my head going into clay season...

**Stacocakes** · 04-03-10, 10:53 AM

I kinda agree with the no play for the mens final. I wanted to bet Roddick but if he ends up losing I am going to be pissed off because I bet a line that I feel is a bit to high. Berdych seems to have it out for me here since I have basically faded him for the latter part of the tournament and he is killing me. Maybe I will throw Roddick into a parlay with a basketball and baseball game or something. Might consider that.

Who are you guys taking for the womens final today? I favor Clijsters in this matchup. I've got her since the start of the tournament at +760 to win it all and I have Venus at +380 to win it all so ideally I would like Clijsters to win.I'm not going to put any further money on the womens final and just watch the match.

Best of luck today guys

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-03-10, 11:22 AM

I'm going under 22.5 today. Public & bookie perception is that this will go 3 sets with where the line is set, I'm against that. I think one of them is going to do it in 2.

**MUHerd37** · 04-03-10, 12:26 PM

Just woke up. Didn't remember the match started this early

I was gonna take Clijsters and now the 1st set is over with Clijsters taking it easy. Luckily I just did a live bet and was able to put some money on her.

I still really like Roddick in the men's tomorrow. I just can't see Berdych beating him. Roddick has a great serve which will get him more easy points that Federer and Soderling got combined. Also, Roddick goes all out in these matches. We all know Federer didn't care that much because it's not a major and Soderling clearly didn't care either. Roddick will play balls out for this one. I think he is gonna want this even more than usual do to the fact that he lost in the finals at Indian Wells in the last tourney. Losing in the finals 2 tourneys in a row would not sit well with him at all. Then you can throw in the fact that Roddick's best surface is the hardcourt, especially the U.S. hardcourts. As most of you know after this tourney most players will be moving on to tourneys playing on clay so this is Roddick's last big chance to grab a fairly big title on his best surface. Head to head Roddick leads 5-2 including the last 3 meetings. The last meeting between them was at the SAP Open on Feb 12 2010. Obviously that was a very recent match and it was on hardcourt as well. Roddick won 7-6(5), 7-6(5). That would indicate it could be close. Still, I gotta take Roddick in this one boys. Hopefully, we will all make some money tomorrow!!!

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-03-10, 12:44 PM

EZ cash for the Under. Way to get that Clijsters future.

**MUHerd37** · 04-03-10, 01:06 PM

Wow that was a real easy under. Congrats Eagles!

**sportsfan2009** · 04-03-10, 01:31 PM

congrats eag

**Stacocakes** · 04-03-10, 02:20 PM

Nice hits guys. Didn't think the match would be that lopsided. Was Clijsters just better or was venus a typical ue machine? Im sure the fans that spent the money to get the finals tickets were happy about that.

Agree that Roddick is the play tomorrow it's just a matter of whether or not to bet it straight or put it in a parlay. Still undecided as of right now

**JNic** · 04-03-10, 02:29 PM

look at this clay court tournament in houston coming up

2010 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships – Singles - Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_U.S._Men%27s_Clay_Court_Championships_%E2%80%93_Singles

one of the worst fields ive ever seen, crazy enough i think Schwank would be a great play to win the title if i saw those odds

**Stacocakes** · 04-03-10, 02:39 PM

Odesnik is actually playing there?Didn't he get caught for shipping drugs?haha

JNic you are correct.That is probably the worst field I have ever seen for a non-challenger event. The odds aren't up yet for the outright market for that event but it might be fun to just throw a bit on a couple of the players. Surprised Blake isn't there.Talk about a guy that needs some cash bad.

**EaglesPhan36** · 04-03-10, 02:50 PM

That Houston tournament hasn't really ever drawn a big number of names to it. Roddick used to play this tournament a ton, but I think the fact that it comes right after the end of the hard court season kills it getting the bigger players. In the past five years, it's usually been a pretty tame draw with a couple decent names as the seeds. This one might be a tad weaker than usual.

**Stacocakes** · 04-03-10, 03:30 PM

Tonight Roddick is playing a charity doubles match with Courier, Gonzalez and Kuerten. Kinda a weird time to have this the night before the final. Wonder if that will have any bearing on anything. Can't be good for one's focus

**tailmypicks** · 04-03-10, 05:09 PM

staco what's the play? roddick?

**PingPong** · 04-03-10, 05:12 PM

is that going to be on tv?

**Totolover1409** · 04-03-10, 06:16 PM

Yeah, best to stay away from the men's final. Not enough value on Roddick.

Great win on Clijsters staco

**ji03** · 04-03-10, 08:32 PM

I'm liking Berdych the way he is going right now at +170 or so.
