Yeah, I have her in one. IF she wins this game I think I'm cashing out some of my winnings. Too much stress.

shari91 · 01-18-11, 04:06 AM

Oh fukk.

shari91 · 01-18-11, 04:08 AM

MOTHER OF ALL SHITBALLS.

Hory · 01-18-11, 04:08 AM

goddamn commentator talking about ivanovic's serve coming through when it counts, then she promptly double faults, goes on to lose the service game and match

sportfan · 01-18-11, 04:10 AM

I swear every time they say it, it's the kiss of death. That's why that stupid bitch said "it's always the way" when the guy commentator said it seems Ana heard her. If I wasn't on the damn phone for most of this match I could've bailed out a bit sooner. One crappy thing about living in Australia - the need to call in our live bets.

Love this commentary in the Hewitt match already. Bruce: It's very surprising but Hewitt and Nalby are the same height. Courier: Well they're definitely not the same weight.

That shitbag just cost me a 5 teamer on the first leg. 9 to 1 favorite my ass. This guy screws me every time. Whether I am on him or against him. Can't stand him.

sportfan · 01-18-11, 04:24 AM

Petz smashes the forehand winners over and over haha..

shantymoon · 01-18-11, 04:24 AM

dble break down wtf

shari91 · 01-18-11, 04:25 AM

Yeah, not such a hot start for him. I was debating him and Baggy today but stayed away from both. It's very easy to get sucked in to them assuming they'll coast through the first round but they usually give more scares than the odds you get on them are worth. They are usually very, very overpriced in Slams because people who only bet tennis a couple of times a year just pile on their "names".

Hopefully he comes back for anyone who has him in parlays. BECAUSE I KNOW NO ONE WOULD'VE TAKEN HIM STRAIGHT UP!!

Mikail · 01-18-11, 04:29 AM

The only luck I'm having with the Aussie Open today has been betting points. All cash parlays have lost so far. Frustrating start for me. Tomorrow should be easier.

sportfan · 01-18-11, 04:30 AM

Tsonga is about to down 2 sets , not good

He's done. I would give him the benefit of a possible comeback but I am watching the match. He has given up now. Side note to remember. He is a lazy son of a bitch. So many points he lost simply because he didn't wan't to run across the court.

Let's Go Bills! · 01-18-11, 04:36 AM

I have petzschner... i've been fade material the past 4 days so don't count it as a loss yet

Tomorrow will be much easier. I said it yesterday I think - I always either make a little/lose a little or break even the first round here. Very hard to figure out what a player has been doing on their break - especially for the ones who played very few tourneys after the US Open. A waste of time for me overall and actually I don't even know why I bother to play it year after fricken year.

Now is when we can start picking off major disparities in talent other than relying on the usual lopsided matches ie Fed, Nadal, Clijsters, etc. Quite a few people have snuck through to the second round that definitely don't belong here and it's time to hammer their opponents. Second and third rounds I've always found to be the most profitable and then as it tightens up as it gets closer to the Final, it's wise to lower your bets or just ignore the matches altogether.

I managed to stay away yesterday. My strategy was to avoid the early matches but I couldn't resist. I didn't make any large wagers and only played some parlays. I had a losing day in NBA today also so I'm down a bit today. I haven't had a losing day in a while and I forget how to handle it. So pissed now and I am only down less than 200 us dollars.

sportfan · 01-18-11, 04:40 AM

A shaky game but Hewitt holds serve

shari91 · 01-18-11, 04:43 AM

Break Hewitt!

sportfan · 01-18-11, 04:44 AM

Hewitt with a break , good start

shantymoon · 01-18-11, 04:53 AM

Yeah. Where was this Tsonga last two sets.

shari91 · 01-18-11, 04:57 AM

Ugh - they just showed some of Safina's press conference. I seriously feel badly for her. She's such a mess now and you can tell it's upsetting her that she's basically become a joke player on the Tour. Hopefully she can turn things around somehow this year.

Mikail · 01-18-11, 04:58 AM

Hewitt doing good for you guys. He's on his way to taking set 1

sportfan · 01-18-11, 05:00 AM

Hewitt took the opening set

Mikail · 01-18-11, 05:13 AM

It's so obvious Tsonga could win if he wanted to. Look at the difference in his play and demeanor in the 3rd set compared to the 1st and 2nd Now it's back to lackadaisical Tsonga. I guess he won the 3rd so as to save face. Azzhole!

I loved the way Makarova held her nerve with all the hystrionics and the crowd against her. Think she might be a special against the young qualifier who beat Schnyder today.

Ace_of_Spades · 01-18-11, 05:18 AM

Please Hewitt, let this be an easy match.

Mikail · 01-18-11, 05:22 AM

Hewitt needs to break Nalbandian now.
