What's happening with Almagro-Haase? Score has been stalled at 4-3 in the 4th for a long time. Trainer out for someone?

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:42 PM

It seems as the the Almagro match has just stopped. Everything still has Haase up 4-3 and serving but hasn't updated in forever.

**Mike Lonsdale** · 05-24-10, 12:42 PM

Anybody knows what's happening with Berrer - Fish match?

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:43 PM

I would love to see Haase have to quit. I'm betting it's for Almagro in anyone.

Slamtracker appears to be frozen for the back courts

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:44 PM

Several matches just aren't updating. Something is screwed up.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-24-10, 12:46 PM

Gasquet can go kiss another stripper and power up for his next tournament.

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:50 PM

OK. Almagro up 4-2 in the tiebreak

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:51 PM

DirecTV score thing has it correct. Almagro wins the set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Won tiebreak 7-3!!!!!!!!!!!

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:53 PM

Fish is up 5-3 in the 2nd set

**JNic** · 05-24-10, 12:56 PM

whats hanescu score??

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 12:57 PM

Hanescu won the 3rd set 6-4. It's now 0-0 in the 4th

**JNic** · 05-24-10, 12:58 PM

thanks for that, hahah look de bakker updating haase match http://twitter.com/thiemodebakker

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:01 PM

The only thing that sucks is the DirecTV thing doesn't show who is serving

**JNic** · 05-24-10, 01:01 PM

can you keep me updated on hanescu, idk where to find scores. really important for a parlay i got

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:02 PM

Now the DirecTV thing looks like it might have frozen. Still showing 0-0 in the 5th for Almagro's match.

Damn. Everything is frozen! Hanescu match still shows 0-0 in the 4th still

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:05 PM

Stosur breakes to take the first set 7-5! I thought about putting the $450 on her but decided against it. I need Almagro, Stosur, and Jankovic soooooo damn bad.

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:07 PM

Hanescu match 1-1 in the 4th

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:08 PM

Scratch that. That was old 3rd set score. Sorry. Almagro and Hanescu both up 1-0 in the 4th

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:09 PM

Both 1-1 now

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:09 PM

Slam tracker working now

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 01:38 PM

Almagro wins!!!!!!!!!!

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 01:56 PM

Wow I can't believe Almagro came back. I figured he was going to lose and blow my whole sbr bracket because I have him going far.Glad that he managed to come back

Both plays hit today. The Stosur/Isner parlay hit at reduced odds due to Monfils backing out and Murray had a nice comeback for the win

Hopefully you guys made some good money today

Gotta love Gasquet haha

**PingPong** · 05-24-10, 01:58 PM

geez lopez screwed me big time

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 02:17 PM

Sorry about Lopez PingPong. He lost to the 166th ranked player in the world in straight sets and there was only one set that was remotely close.I have no idea what happened with him. As I mentioned before he did have a back injury coming into this tournament so maybe that was the reason for his poor play

Looking ahead to tomorrow here is what I like:

I love Roddick for tomorrow. He is slowly moving up to around -345 right now. I can't see him losing to Nieminen at all. I don't think Roddick is going to get very far in this tournament but surely he can beat Nieminen in the first round. Just trying to decide if I am going to bet this straight up or parlay it with another player

Querrey should be able to destroy Ginepri. I have no idea why Ginepri is even still playing. He has lost five of his last six matches and hasn't been relevant for 2 or 3 years. Querreys price is steep at -490 but when parlayed with a couple other players it will be good.

It is unbelievable some of the prices for tomorrow for the underdogs. Should Kohlschreiber EVER be -2150 against anyone? Is Beck playing against him in a wheelchair or something? I guess Beck has lost 5 matches in a row and is coming in here with a pulled muscle and a right knee problem so they must be expecting Beck to retire. Hopefully Beck got the memo from the bookies to retire AFTER the first set is over.

Considering Hewitt at -105 over Chardy.Both player's aren't playing to well but Hewitt is a fighter and should be able to get by Chardy. Will think about this one tonight.

Can't see much that I like on the women's side for tomorrow. Some overly inflated prices thats for sure. Suarez-Navarro is +115 BUT I read that she has some injuries coming into this so I am going to stay away from that match.Not worth it. I think Sharapova will exit early at some point in this tournament but she should be able to get through the first round.

Will think about the plays and get back to you guys later

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 02:18 PM

Fish gets the break in the fifth set

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-24-10, 02:26 PM

Yeah Suarez-Navarro rolled her ankle pretty badly in late April, otherwise that price would have been jumped all over I would suspect. That Hewitt-Chardy match-up is one I talked about when I looked at the draw ... I'm almost always on the wrong side of whatever I bet with Chrady matches, so I will avoid it .. I have to.

Tomorrow might have to be one of those larger parlays to get any sort of decent return, I just don't see a ton tomorrow. If totals came out anytime before dawn, I'd play more of those but most US-friendly books suck at getting those up.

**JNic** · 05-24-10, 03:19 PM

yea i'm extra confident with roddick here, i know he has the injury problems and lack of play on clay but he isnt losing to nieminen. also querrey over ginepri seems so obvious but i liked the play ginepri had in that world cup thing but at best i think he could push querrey to 4. parlaying querrey and roddick would def be good

**stomptheboard** · 05-24-10, 04:06 PM

tailing on querrey and roddick

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 04:45 PM

I'm staying away from Hewitt. Some issues about his health possibly. Best to just stay away

Roddick's price is getting hammered.Up to -370 now. Geez

No tennis parlays available at Pinnacle till the end of the night so Roddick's price move is just going to get me less and less return. Not sure what the parlay odds would be but another player that could make the odds look nicer would be Juan Carlos Ferrero. Will just wait till the parlays are allowed and see what it offers

**MUHerd37** · 05-24-10, 09:20 PM

Anyone liking Bartoli -335 vs Maria Elena Camerin? Bartoli is fairly solid and will be playing in her own country. The more I look at her recent matches tho, the more I dislike it.

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 10:43 PM

I like Bartoli to win that match but I don't like the -335 price. It's hard to justify betting girls at those types of prices unless its serena

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 11:04 PM

Having a tough time finding a third player for the parlay. Roddicks odds have moved so much that they are so poor now. A Roddick/Querrey parlay pays -200ish and that is not really good value.
