    Sad end for Almagro

    Today was his last tournament, he opened at 4.33 on B365, closed at 2.25 (2.58 pinny) because the market thought he could do at least something against trash like Vilella and yet he lost by 8 games. I didn't walk into that trap, I don't trust guys who win 1 set in their last 5 matches.

    Yeah I knew a golfer, and pretty sure tennis is pretty much the same. Most of the expenses, like travel, food, and clothing, in your career are covered by sponsors. You pretty much get to bank all the money except your mortgage payments, unless you have a gold-digger wife who spends it all.

    Lol yeah thats true. I think the time away over the last 2 years made the decision easier for Almagro. Outside of Nadal i thought Almagro was one of the best clay courters over a 10 year stretch... he would have been better if he wasnt mentally weak
