Shocking how Ferrer lost. Too my shot on Kohlschreiber, almost but no cigar. Ginepri is in some sort of rhythm eh?

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 12:23 PM

ginepri might get a set off djokovic? but i cant see anyway he pulls off a 4th upset in a row

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-29-10, 12:30 PM

Looking forward to Youzhny-Tsonga & Murray-Berdych. Gotta homework those up today. I think most people will be on Berdych at plus money. Other one is probably a toss-up for most although I know there is a lot of love for the Russian on SBR.

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 12:33 PM

Berdych, Youzhny, Soderling
I'm really confident in these 3 but we'll see, gotta be smart with the betting

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 01:56 PM

Just getting back in time for Maria to blow my three sets bet haha

**Stacocakes** · 05-29-10, 02:00 PM

Need the Russian(gasp!),to get to the Semis where hopefully I can hedge that future,wonder what the price would be vs murray if both win?
Murray -185???

**JNic** · 05-29-10, 04:29 PM

yea probably -185, berdych definitely has more hype here so youzhny would be a better price

**MUHerd37** · 05-30-10, 12:00 AM

I like Almagro as a small dog on Monday against Verdasco. Verdasco has got to be tired as hell.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-30-10, 12:49 AM

I picked Verdasco into the QF in the bracket contest and if there is one thing I think we should have learned at this point of the season, Verdasco defies the odds with fatigue. I actually think that is a superb price for Verdasco at -130 or less.

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 01:45 AM

Have to admit that there is not much on the board that I like. I am staying away from the Youzhny match completely. I really have no clue who will win this match. It's to close to call.

Federer has huge odds at -900. The line keeps moving up so obviously everyone is betting Federer at this point but there is really no value ever at betting -900. Just pass on the match

Soderling/Cilic should be a good match. I think Soderling wins this match but I feel he is better off in a parlay at his current price then to take him as a -270 favorite. Really either player is more then capable of stinking out the joint on any given day so it's not worth it to play either as a big favorite.

I have Murray advancing to the semifinals in my brackets and what I do know is that it will not be easy. Berdych is more then capable of taking control and bashing Murray off the court. I don't think this is a good matchup here for Murray. I will pass on this match.

Venus is 4-0 career vs Petrova. Petrova was lucky to advance over Rezai after blowing all of the match points that she had in that match. She was constantly folding under pressure and against venus, she won't be able to do that. Take Venus and put her in a parlay

Wozniacki is 2-0 lifetime vs Pennetta. There were some injury concerns with regards to Wozniacki but it looks as though she is in good form. Think I will pass though to be on the safe side

Parlay for sunday:

Venus Williams/ Soderling -114

Best of luck tomorrow guys

**tankman777** · 05-30-10, 06:58 AM

like that parlay......im tailing

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:05 AM

Best of luck Tankman

Was watching the Wozniacki match right now and Pennetta just broke and I was pissed off because I thought I had put her in the parlay but I decided not to so I am happy. That is going to be a tough match to call

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:07 AM

Venus is broken

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:21 AM

BP Venus cmon

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:22 AM

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:37 AM

Venus loses the first set

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 07:44 AM

Break Venus

**beefcake** · 05-30-10, 09:29 AM

If wawrinka can settle down,he can hang with fed..Come on Waw ra!!

**beefcake** · 05-30-10, 09:29 AM

And the way the schedule is,the youhzhny match is not going to finish today..

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 10:52 AM

Venus loses in straight sets to blow the parlay.Geez

Oh well,can't win them all

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 11:29 AM

Youzhny wins the first set and now a trainer for Tsonga sweet

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 11:30 AM

Soderling and Federer both move on in straight sets. Need Tsonga to lose here for my sbr brackets.

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 11:36 AM

Tsonga retires. Right after the first set of course so all the bets stand. Nothing like giving it your all TSonga. I'm not complaining though

**beefcake** · 05-30-10, 11:49 AM

What a bitch,there goes my parlay hedge..but the 650-1 future lives to fight another day!!
Would love for berdych to win next in a 5 set marathon,cause coupled with youzhnys easy 1 set breather and tomas winning as a dog, I think the odds makers would make the russian a decent fav allowing to hedge at + money with minimal risk...
Lets go verdasco to beat amalgro and then beat nadal(wet dream) to allow me to pay off my wedding...

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 12:13 PM

haha Beefcake you would have to name your first child Fernando if he could pull that off for you. Thats a great future you have on Youzhny

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 12:15 PM

3 bps Berdych.

Murray in trouble here.Every service game of his is taking forever

**Stacocakes** · 05-30-10, 12:18 PM

break Berdych
