Stosur can't keep on saving bp's like that forever. Playing with fire

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:26 AM

Serena will win 3rd set 7-5

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:27 AM

Stosur is lucky that there is no tiebreak in the 3rd set. No way she could win it. She loses too many points on her own serve.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:31 AM

2 bps Stosur great point

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:31 AM

What a point by Stosur to get the break chance!

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:32 AM

wow break. Great shot Stosur

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:32 AM

Stosur got the break!

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:32 AM

Last two points by Stosur were great

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:33 AM

-320 to serve out the match

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:34 AM

Djokovic gets the break.Will serve out the first set now

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:35 AM

2 mps Stosur

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:35 AM

Match point Stosur

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:35 AM

Winner!

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:35 AM

GSM Stosur. Great hit guys. There goes my outright and sbr contests

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 09:51 AM

Djokovic gets the break in the second set

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 09:58 AM

Would it be stupis to go all in on Nadal? He has to be foaming at the mouth now that Fed is out.

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 10:00 AM

Hmm do you mean as an outright MUherd at -250 or so or do you mean for today's match vs Almagro? I haven't even looked at the rafa line since I saw -1800 yesterday. I can't see Rafa losing today but it's not worth it to back him today. As an outright, that might be a good play

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 10:14 AM

Djokovic up 2 sets to 0 and a break in the third set.This match is done

**JNic** · 06-02-10, 10:18 AM

would be a miracle if almagro won this... i'm praying though

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 10:20 AM

He's good enough to get this set MAYBE. Expect Nadal to hunker down after that though.

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 10:27 AM

I just meant today. The match is already underway now. I really didn't want to play it. I think it was -1700 which is so much to risk for a small return on that.

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 10:27 AM

I have a parlay that includes Nadal wins 1st set

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 10:33 AM

Back on serve, still got a shot there. Almagro will get crushed in the next two sets I think if Nadal wins this opener. Almagro was in control here and let it slip away.

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 11:00 AM

Nadal won the tiebreak 7-2.

**beefcake** · 06-02-10, 11:04 AM

melzer not out of it...as usual novak drops his WTF set like he does it seems in majors..

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 11:06 AM

I'd expect Djokovic to close it out here with a tight one, 6-4, 7-5 something like that. Djokovic's serve is still sloppy. He'll pay for that against Nadal.

**JNic** · 06-02-10, 11:50 AM

cmon melzer force 5!!

**JNic** · 06-02-10, 12:13 PM

staco looks like this contest comes down to a 5th set.. haha it's only 200 pts but i'm praying melzer doesnt choke

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 12:17 PM

I thought a Djokovic-Jankovic parlay today was solid, but passed because it was still almost -190. Good thing. Even if he wins, who wants to sweat this shit out.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 01:44 PM

What a choke by Djoke.

Glad I passed on that parlay. Man who the hell would have ever picked this Final Four on both sides. Craziest Slam tournament in awhile.

**raydog** · 06-02-10, 02:14 PM

can we just give the tourney to nadal and split up prize money to the others? gotta be something better we can watch on tv later this week

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 02:32 PM

I can't believe Djokovic blew a 2-0 lead with a break up in the third set.Unbelievable.Wish I could have seen what happened in the match, I just was able to follow the score on my phone. Another big day for upsets in tennis. Taking dogs all tourney would have been very profitable.

**MUHerd37** · 06-02-10, 03:07 PM

Soderling/Berdych should be quite a good match

**Stacocakes** · 06-02-10, 03:10 PM

It should be.Unfortunately I think the Melzer/Nadal match will be disapointing. I have no idea how Melzer got this far and how he came back from 2-0 and a break down to beat Djokovic.

Soderling/Berdych match might be a toss up. Berdych would be the play based on the odds but I could see it going either way. Maybe a play on the total might be good for that match or possibly a set bet. Will think about it during the day

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 03:15 PM

Right now, I like both dogs tomorrow to go for a split and a profit with Berdych & Dementieva. Nadal will kill Melzer. Stosur and Jankovic should be competitive. Problem for me is in picking Berdych, that's basically picking a massacre for the final because I think Soderling would give Nadal a slightly better match, then again Nadal might pull out his best match of the year for revenge.

Also very surprised that Soderling hasn't been pounded by the public at this point.
