break nadal

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:15 PM

Totally Eagles
Also seems that he is just unwilling to adapt when he is losing. Just sticks to his bash the ball as hard as I can mentallity

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:16 PM

yah - he did play Nadal really tough and Nadal withstood the barrage and it looks like there was a bit of dip in Tsonga...Tsonga thrives on momentum and confidence and Nadal is sapping it.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:19 PM

nadal just toying with him now

Going to be interesting to see how much heart Tsonga has. Does he continue to try to get back into this match or does he just pack up the bags and play out the string

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-31-10, 09:22 PM

Took Nadal -3000 now that he's up 3-0.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:23 PM

haha I am hoping you are kidding Eagles

Well TSonga won a game.Maybe that is the momentum he needs

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:24 PM

0-15

cmon ali

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:25 PM

wow...huge odds there...-3000....everything points to Nadal winning this....but.

Tsonga does have heart and don't forget what he did too little old Fed in Canada i believe....down 5-1 he came back on knocked off #1. ......all that being said...Nadal doesn't seem to lose things like Fed can sometimes....i think Nadal is by far the most mentally tough player out there.

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:27 PM

awesome effort there by Tsonga - break point!

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:27 PM

Oh my god bringing back bad memories.I had Federer in that match that he tanked to Tsonga

Tsonga bp cmon

**BernardMadoff** · 03-31-10, 09:27 PM

Yes Nadal is mentally tough, when Fed gets down you can see him playing tenative, he plays alot safer and only comes back when his opponent folds.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:27 PM

Tsonga brutal

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:29 PM

Nice shot

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:31 PM

would be funny if Tsonga breaks here

That baby threw off Nadals concentration haha

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:32 PM

Of course not. That shot was not even close

Nadal's drop shots have got much better with the doubles he has been playing

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-31-10, 09:33 PM

Nadal up 4-1 is -3775. I raped the books at -3000. I did seriously go -3000. Money is money.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:35 PM

haha that is true.Not like you have any chance of losing that really

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:35 PM

Wow...that was a great chance for tsonga...nadal held on again.

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:36 PM

The under is looking good.

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-31-10, 09:37 PM

Yeah risk vs. reward. Low risk, reward is getting money back on the original Tsonga bet which I played pretty small. I wouldn't do these types much, but when you see a lay-up .... gotta hit it. And if Nadal chokes, then you know, worst bet ever.

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:37 PM

Ok...let's see if tsonga can get the break here.

**tailmypicks** · 03-31-10, 09:40 PM

Next round he faces ARod right?

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:40 PM

Wonder why Tsonga changed racquets to Nadal's. He has changed racquets 4 times or so in the last 3 years at least. I know money but still

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:41 PM

Yup Nadal faces roddick

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:42 PM

I had nadal to make the finals but I was hoping tsonga could give him a tougher match...nadal was just too tough.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:43 PM

Who is taking Verdasco tomorrow?

I know head to head is 5-3 Berdych and he killed Verdasco last time they met at Indian Wells but I think Verdasco will have some revenge for that match plus I think Berdych blew his load during the Federer match

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:45 PM

Nadal wins. To good

He will beat Roddick

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:45 PM

I think nadal should be able to knock off roddick but it will be very tough and the over is a great play there.

**tailmypicks** · 03-31-10, 09:45 PM

looks like a sod nadal final

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-31-10, 09:46 PM

Who is insane enough to bet Berdych-Verdasco tomorrow? I'm expecting heavy money to push Berdych to being a more sizeable favorite. Public will eat up that he beat Fed and that he crushed Verdasco last week at Indian Wells. Makes me want Verdasco at the best dog price available. If Verdasco gets to +100 or more, I'll pull. Good revenge spot.

Soda -3.5 is decent. He should over power Youzhny.

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:46 PM

Nadal is back.

**Tsonga** · 03-31-10, 09:47 PM

Probably

**tailmypicks** · 03-31-10, 09:47 PM

looks like nadal of the old is back

**BernardMadoff** · 03-31-10, 09:52 PM

I dont fully trust Soda, he did win for me in play a couple weeks ago, but lost it right back on him with a pitiful performance by him in the next match.

**Stacocakes** · 03-31-10, 09:55 PM

Verdasco small right now. Agree that we should be able to get a better number tomorrow. +104 currently.

Soderling -255 is to big but he should beat Youz

Bartoli has been playing very well but I don't think she will beat Venus. Again odds of -345 is a definate no.
