Another rain delay yay

tailmypicks · 05-26-10, 09:50 AM

sveta improved a lot at the end of the first set
had 7 bps but converted only 2 while andrea 3/3

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 10:11 AM

Sunnuva bitch, I took the Berdych total specifically to give me something to track and the rain came back. Oh well, probably lose anyhow.

tailmypicks · 05-26-10, 11:27 AM

kuznetsova match is back on

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 11:56 AM

Tennis has resumed again! Lets go Berdych!

tailmypicks · 05-26-10, 12:03 PM

amazing kuznetsova saves a ton of match points

beefcake · 05-26-10, 12:05 PM

Goddamm it petkovic,nice nerves of steel...

JNic · 05-26-10, 12:12 PM

looking ahead, wawrinka should be well priced and well backed against monfils

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 12:20 PM

Looks like Kuzy is gonna roll in the 3rd. I pegged her to win her quarter even though her form sucked. Was a good shot today though to try the dog.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 12:23 PM

Maybe not as she chokes away a break.

tailmypicks · 05-26-10, 12:42 PM

petkovic was up 6-5 40-0

tailmypicks · 05-26-10, 12:52 PM

and now kuznetsova blows mps
no one wants to win here

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 01:28 PM

Monfils better not screw around and lose this match. I never trust this guy.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 01:48 PM

Wow missed some crazy matches it seems. Kuznetsova saves 4 match points and then goes on to win the match. Nice. Preserves the outright for the time being

Murray looks to be rolling against Chela. This match won't end today though I am sure they will suspended it due to darkness at some point

Isner down in the tiebreak right now in the first set.Not good

Monfils has the break in the fourth set so it looks like he will be going on to the next round. Can't wait for the Monfils/Wawrinka match.Should be a good one

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 01:50 PM

Can't see how Wawrinka wouldn't beat him if he's playing anywhere near where he has over the past two months. Monfils is just too inconsistent. No way he should have lost that set to Fognini. You have to have a killer instinct and put a lesser opponent away. Interested to see the price.

Not to mention Monfils just blew his break lead too and it's tied at 4-4. Will definitely consider Wawrinka for parlays, maybe a single play if it's under -200 ... but I'm not sure what the price will be.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:01 PM

Isner lost the first set

Agree its difficult backing Monfils.He never really looks 100% into a match and he also always looks injured so it's stressfull watching him play when you have money on him.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:03 PM

MOnfils blows the fourth set.This match is going five.Unbelievable

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 02:04 PM

Only good thing is he's probably going to get tonight to think about what he's done. These matches can't be going on much longer.

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:04 PM

Monfils is in self destruct mode. Up 40-15 and loses his serve and the set.

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:06 PM

There are still matches scheduled to start later on tonight. Several matches slated to begin after 5:00 our time which in 11:00 there. I thought Roland Garros had no lights tho?

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:07 PM

Are you guys watching the monfils match?From what I am reading he is limping around and appears injured.If that is the case and he still manages to win, makes Wawrinka look even better. Monfils doesn't have the fitness to play these five set matches

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:07 PM

Play should be suspended soon Muherd. They don't go super late

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 02:08 PM

Everything that is in progress are the last matches on their respective courts today from what I see. No lights. Pretty amazing that they almost got all the matches in with the rain today.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:10 PM

2 bps Fog geez

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:11 PM

Monfils down a break in the 5th. Mental midget

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:11 PM

Monfils is broken.Good defence by Fognini on that point

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:12 PM

Monfils doesn't appear injured to me at all. He is walking and running around just fine to me.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:12 PM

Monfils out of gas.Another choke by a french player. Who would have thought

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:13 PM

half a million match on betfair on Monfils at 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 each

Some burials today

EaglesPhan36 · 05-26-10, 02:13 PM

A lot of people are gonna be calling for his scalp. He got bought up well above -700 I believe. What a putz. Of course this zaps any play or worth in the next round on Wawrinka as he should be a substantial favorite.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:17 PM

Ya wawrinka will be a big favorite next round if monfils loses here

These slams seperate the great players from the good players. You can also tell alot about a player's character by how they play in these slams as well. You wouldn't see Nadal with body language like this ever

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:17 PM

I don't think he ran out of gas. I think he just choked. He has no mental toughness at all. I was doing just fine all through the 4th set. He was up a break in the 4th and he has just let it all slip away.

Stacocakes · 05-26-10, 02:20 PM

Monfils with some life 0-30

MUHerd37 · 05-26-10, 02:20 PM

Triple break point for Monfils!!!!!!!!!
