Time to take some massive points from SBR sportsbook (starting in 2 hours)

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:07 AM

Actually I think Karlovic already will win the game. He is so good when he is a frontrunner, like this. Serves 3 aces and holds to 5-2.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:13 AM

Gimeno holds to 3-5 after saving another bp, Karlovic then holds to love after two more aces...6-3..a long way now.

**xXxBallin21xXx** · 03-26-10, 10:24 AM

took Karlovic here, Gl though

**blackbeSSt** · 03-26-10, 10:29 AM

best of 5 here?

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:32 AM

3-2 Gimeno in 2ndset, on serve. He just saved a breakpoint.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:35 AM

best of 3.

Karlovic with 16 aces on this surface, impressive..3-3 after 30-30..fearing a break coming now.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:39 AM

Gimeno easy hold 4-3.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:44 AM

Again, Gimeno gets 30-30 in Karlovics serve, but again Karlovic holds to 4-4 after an ace. Close but not close enough.

**JNic** · 03-26-10, 10:48 AM

hopefully he can pull out the tiebreak

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:53 AM

Gimeno holds after 30 to 5-4. THen gets the important first point in Karlovics serve, where Karlovic responds with his 19th ace..then 30-30 AGAIN...Gimeno gets a setpoint 40-30! Karlovic saves again, with an ace.. Very frustrating and holds to 5-5.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:53 AM

Thats a total of 5 missed breakpoints for GImeno, all on crucial stages.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 10:58 AM

Gimeno from 40-0 to breakpoint against on his own serve. Typical reaction again. But Gimeno saves and holds to 6-5. Very strong indeed.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 11:03 AM

Again 0-15 in Karlovic serve, again an ace to follow up. Then 15-30..30-30 (which has been the case almost all set in Karlovic serve). Karlovic to 40-30 after 2ndserve, and holds again to 6-6..tough luck for Gimeno. A tiebreak is normally 50-50 in many cases, but with Karlovic serve he should be a favorite.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 11:11 AM

Gimeno wins tiebreaker 7-4 and we have a decider. Can Karlovic yet again lose in Miami..hope so.

Went like this

Gimeno 1-0
1-1 (ace)
1-2
2-2
3-2
3-3 (ace nr 24)
4-3 Gimeno (minibreak)
5-3
6-3
6-4
6-5 after Karlovic holds 2nd serve
7-5 on setpoint nr 1 in tiebreaker.

**yisman** · 03-26-10, 11:16 AM

regardless of how it ends up, it was a good pick. I wish you had posted this last night!

I have different hours than you.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 11:18 AM

Sorry Yisman, I pick it when I see things indicating it should have a chance

Long break now, could be a injury timeout for Mr. Karlovic..The rules in SBR sportsbook is this:

Tennis Rules

Games are official after two complete sets of play. If there is a retirement in the third set of play, action still stand.

So if Karlovic retires now, we have a winner.

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 11:24 AM

3rd set started, open with an ace (nr 25) and Karlovic holds to 15..1-0

**diamond** · 03-26-10, 11:29 AM

Huge disappointment. Karlovic breaks directly to 2-0 in 3rd set, looks pretty much over considering all the aces Karlovic has. Im off, hopefully return to a surprise

Pretty much everyone who bets tennis does.

I don't do tennis parlays, but I know they're very popular. When I ran a tennis book here there was a big demand for parlays and I allowed them.

Match interrupted (by rain?) with Karlovic up 5-2 in the final set.

**MUHerd37** · 03-26-10, 12:11 PM

I just sent them a message asking about it. Maybe if enough of us ask for it they will give it to us. Doesn't hurt to try.

**MUHerd37** · 03-26-10, 12:14 PM

Rain screwing up the matches. Scattered storm expected until 4-5 pm. Could also be storms on monday but everything else looks good.

That would be nice, there would likely be a lot more action if we could bet parlays.
