Stacocakes French Open Thread

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 08:35 AM

Djokovic's portion of the draw has opened up alot with Ferrer and Roddick losing. Granted Djokovic is tied 1-1 right now with Hanescu but if he gets past him he will probably have to play Juan Carlos Ferrero and then Melzer or Gabashvilli to get to the semi's which is alot easier then it could have been

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 08:52 AM

Ginepri broken first game of the match.That is the Ginepri I have expected all week haha

Kohl is up a break over Verdasco

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 08:57 AM

Seems every time I look up Kohl has a bp.Has only coverted one though so far

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 08:59 AM

Verdasco Kohli game has some sick rallies
Almagro serving for 2nd set
Bellucci on cruise control

Soderling -250 vs cilic, i would dive on this early. It opened at -300 pinny went down? Cilic doesn't have the variety on clay to trouble Soderling, he will have time to wind up on the Cilic kick serve. no way i see Soderling losing here

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 08:59 AM

Double break for Kohl.The odds are now at evens for Kohl

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:00 AM

JNic I agree.Soderling to win that match

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:02 AM

Good call on Bellucci so far guys. Is up a set with the double break in the second. I just can't bet matches with Ljubicic in them because he will find some way to beat me

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 09:03 AM

Im on the Almagro hc -6 pretty big, i just pray Dolgolopov doesnt retire on me...

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:05 AM

Almagro up 2 sets to 0 on Dolgopolov

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:06 AM

Djokovic making matches interesting as always

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:21 AM

2 sets to 0 lead for Bellucci

Melzer up 2 sets to 0 over Ferrer.Cant' believe it. He got the break in the third set to but the chair ump came out and overruled it.

Can't believe Roddick went down in straight sets as a -400 favorite. Surprising

Petrova wins to cash the bet from yesterday BUT Wickmayer loses so the parlay is blown for today. Throw in the fact that Kleybanova loses in three sets, 6-0 in the third

, and the day is not that great today. Geez

Dam WTF happened to kley???!!!!guess i should have bet the pod system there.such is life on the WTA..

Man watch out for Shahar Peer,I have a feeling shes doing some damage the rest of the tourney..

**birdmanweezy** · 05-29-10, 09:32 AM

baum pounded roddick

Kohlsceiber playing really well up a set

**beefcake** · 05-29-10, 09:34 AM

Might be time to hedge my futures on Youzhny(650-1) and Cilic(625-1) with a parlay bet on soderling/tsonga....

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 09:43 AM

i really think youzhny will beat tsonga, tsonga has that nagging injury. the variety with youzhny i think will get to tsonga somewhere in this best of 5, youzhny in 4 or 5 is my pick

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 09:46 AM

i'm sorta fascinated with ginepri here. his backhand looks great, ferrero with some tape on his knee, gotta like the chances for the upset. either way Djokovic has a very nice draw to the semis here

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:50 AM

I am liking Youzhny alot as well. I thought he would get to the quarters by beating Garcia-Lopez instead of Tsonga but Youzhny has a decent chance of beating Tsonga. I think Murray beats the winner of that match though in the quarters

Ginepri got the first set somehow and now he is a break up in the second.Is he on steroids or something?How is this happening?haha

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:51 AM

Nadal about to destroy Hewitt here I am thinking

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 09:52 AM

Verdasco looks to have righted the ship.I think Kohl had his 15 mins of fame in the first set

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 09:55 AM

yea all the momentum seems to be with verdasco here

ljubicic is back on serve with bellucci here, surprised he still has some left in the tank

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 10:00 AM

I figured Ljubicic had packed it in this set. Started out this set horribly

JCF going to retire in this match or what?How is he losing 4-0

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 10:01 AM

idk im so shocked here, i just dont think ferrero has enough in him to mount a comeback. i hope he gets better though because i think hes a threat on the grass

**tailmypicks** · 05-29-10, 10:04 AM

JCF

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 10:05 AM

Adding a play for today:

Sharapova/Henin will play 3 sets +178

Was thinking about the over 20 but it's -142 so I figured they would probably need three sets to get the over 20 games so I took this 3 set bet instead. Looks good to me.

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 10:08 AM

Lol good to see hewitt off to a good start, i have no hope in him taking a set though.

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 10:09 AM

i hope kohlscreiber/verdasco goes 5 sets, playing some great tennis out there

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 10:10 AM

Was thinking if there was a way I could play the "will play 3 sets +178" with the under 20 +121. Guess you could lose both though if its two tight sets like Henin winning 6-4, 7-6. Will pass on trying that. If you guys want to take a risk you can do that bet with Pinnacle and Betfair

**tailmypicks** · 05-29-10, 10:12 AM

nadal broken first game
tough day for spaniards

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 10:13 AM

Nadal breaks back haha

All the Hewitt backers were jumping around and now are back to their seats

**tailmypicks** · 05-29-10, 10:29 AM

nadal bellucci next round

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 10:37 AM

looks like ferrero has some life? even if he doesnt break here putting a little on him would be smart

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 10:41 AM

all of a sudden ginepri making errors, 6-3 ferrero 3rd set. i think we're in for 5?

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 11:55 AM

wow does ginepri choke, instant break filled with errors serving for match at 5-3, 5-4 cmon JCF

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 12:04 PM

Ferrer and Ferrero fall, wow...

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 12:16 PM

Verdasco wins in 5!

match with almagro??? def look to skip that or go over
