Stacocakes Madrid Open thread

Jankovic beat Ivanovic. I figured Ana wouldn't be good bet.She just can't be trusted anymore.

Murray is -475 right now. I am pretty sure he was around -330 or so yesterday. Thats a big jump especially against a player that is good on clay like Chela. Wonder if Chela is injured or something.

Tsonga was -230 or so yesterday and is now -155. Line is dropping huge. wow.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 09:33 AM

Yep, one set. Melzer vs. Fish, there's a match in a Masters clay event that I'd pay not to watch.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 09:34 AM

Tsonga has a sore back and may bow out of the match tonight.Thats the reason for the line movement

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 09:38 AM

Venus down a break already.Almost exactly like her last match

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 10:07 AM

Venus loses the first set

Frustrating day today. Youzhny loses and my internet is going in and out again.Pissing me off beyond belief. The thing that makes me freak out more then anything though is the music that they play when you go to the madrid open website. This website is one of the worst websites I have seen presentation wise and navigation wise but listen to the ****ing music that this site plays. Here is the link

Venus got the break in the 2nd.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 10:19 AM

For now Eagles haha.Lots of time to give it back

They have Melzer and Fish playing in the court out back by the dumpsters

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 10:24 AM

Sodering has had 6 bps already on his serve.He has saved 5 of them already but that is definately not a good stat

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 10:36 AM

Yeah he's having to work hard so far to hold serve. Both have been broken once. Hoping that Soderling can find a way to snag this first set and then settle in.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 10:41 AM

Looks like Venus has recovered. Soderling is gonna need a similar set-up as he just dropped the 1st set. Would be nice if he could get a 1st serve in consistently, if he doesn't - Almagro will end it soon.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 10:58 AM

soderling up a break in the second. Has recovered nicely. Just starting to watch that match now.

Do you guys like the color of Soderlings racquet?Same color set up as Berdych, Cilic and Murray. I picked up one of those a couple weeks ago.Like the way it looks

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:00 AM

Tsonga now -120. Line is dropping like mad. Must be backing out of the match

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:01 AM

40-0 soderlings serve to bp ALmagro.Geez

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:02 AM

Almagro breaks back. Poor from Soderling

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 11:03 AM

Soderling F-ed that up quick. Up 40-0 serving go up 4-1, and he gets broken.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:15 AM

2 bps Soderling. Here's his chance

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:16 AM

both saved

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:17 AM

Venus Williams wins her match in three sets.Just need Serena now to cap off that parlay and get back the Youzhny losses

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:18 AM

Soderling blew a chance there

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:26 AM

3 bps almagro.Unbelievable

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:27 AM

Break Almagro. Serving for the match now

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:32 AM

Soderling loses. Tough break Eagles. Soderling had the break early in that set.I am surprised that he lost it

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 11:33 AM

Yeah his serve just wasn't popping. He's a difficult guy to figure out again after his last two losses. Wawrinka absolutely crushed him and Almagro didn't really have to do a lot today but let Robin beat himself.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:34 AM

Tsonga line is starting to climb again.Those that lost on Soderling are jumping on Tsonga now

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:38 AM

Murray getting hammered as well.He was -340 or something yesterday and is now -500

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 11:49 AM

I'm just waiting for the Ferrer-Baghdatis match at 2pm ET. Playing the total and that's it for me today.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 11:53 AM

That should be a good match

Better to watch then this Serena/Petrova match.Can't decide who has worse outfits out there.

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 12:45 PM

Serena has had so many bps and she just can't capitalize on them in this second set

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 12:57 PM

Of course after all those bps missed by Serena, Petrova comes back to break her

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 01:22 PM

Serena not moving.Has given up. Down a break in the third set now. Looks like another blown parlay coming up

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 01:33 PM

BP serena cmon take it

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 01:34 PM

break back Serena huge

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 01:38 PM

and serena gets broken back.Unbelievable

**Stacocakes** · 05-12-10, 01:50 PM

Serena loses. At least she gave 100% effort in this match.What a joke

Thing that pisses me off is that she has these episodes all of the time where she gives up during the match and I have been burnt before live betting AGAINST her at those points because once in a blue moon she actually gets mad and comes back after tanking the match. Good example of that is the match against Azarenka where Azarenka was about to finish off Serena in 2 sets up 5-1 or whatever it was and she lost almost every game from that point.Horrible match

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-12-10, 02:03 PM

I just don't trust either Venus or Serena on clay. Also a reason I don't bet much WTA in non-Slams. If Tsonga retires after the 1st set, I wonder how bad some of the books get hit?
