I yelled out a big "c'mon" once that match finished. I think I scared myself let alone by neighbors lol

It's 12:45am here and I was trying to scream without waking my son. I've burnt 2 lots of chicken fried rice during that match, I'm soaking wet because I jumped out of the shower when I heard Serena start to take over the 2nd set and I just finished Zumba-ing around my living room.

Went against Shari in WTA...

Great call and what an incredible card so far

**SoV** · 06-02-10, 10:02 AM

Shari, what's your record so far in tennis?

I honestly have no idea. I know I make pretty good money from it - that's about it. Not trying to prove I'm a good capper or anything. Just wanted to start a thread because I was forgetting people when I was asked to PM or email picks and I thought it would be fun to have a place to hang out in during matches instead of invading other people's threads with all my swear words.

Nadal is gonna lose a set he seems rusty. I took him for insurance winning 3-1, but I'll lose a lot more if he doesn't win 3-0 thats really my only play today

**shari91** · 06-02-10, 10:10 AM

I'm going to go have a shower and hopefully come back to a complete turn around by our boy.

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 10:10 AM

If he wins the first set he will win 3-0. The only set he can lose is the first.

**Irish Jet** · 06-02-10, 10:11 AM

I have Almagro to win a set at +140. He's looking good to start.

**TakeIt** · 06-02-10, 10:13 AM

melzer has given up...

**Irish Jet** · 06-02-10, 10:22 AM

Nadal is making some of the most insane defensive shots

**Irish Jet** · 06-02-10, 10:22 AM

Nadal breaks him back. Shit.

**danller** · 06-02-10, 10:23 AM

What a play from Nadal, what a play...

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 10:23 AM

Nadal beginning to make his "normal" shots. By normal I mean the type of shots that make you say "ohhhhhhhh". Got the break back. I still feel good.

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 10:24 AM

If Almagro doesn't win this first set, with the way he started I could see sets 2 and 3 being 6-3, 6-2

**danller** · 06-02-10, 10:37 AM

Come on Nadal! Take this first set down!

i agree but this first set is worrying me a lot

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 10:40 AM

Agree. Nadal not serving well

**shari91** · 06-02-10, 10:41 AM

I must admit this is a lovely score to come back to. Almagro better watch out - letting Rafa back into a set like that more often than not means a slaughter is awaiting you.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-10, 10:41 AM

Does Nadal really ever serve well? Even during his steamroll on clay this season, he gets pushed to deuce a lot on serve.

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 10:41 AM

First serve % not good

**Goat Milk** · 06-02-10, 10:44 AM

Yes, we NEED Nadal to break here, I don't want this going to tiebreak with the way he's serving right now

**danller** · 06-02-10, 10:44 AM

Melzer is looking good in the 3rd set

**shari91** · 06-02-10, 10:58 AM

Of course. Half of us are on Nadal 3-0 and it goes to a first set tiebreak. What are the fvkking odds on that?

**Goat Milk** · 06-02-10, 10:58 AM

Come on!

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 11:00 AM

1 down
2 to go

**shari91** · 06-02-10, 11:00 AM

WOOHOO!!!

Sayonara Almagro. You had your shot - you're friggin done.

**danller** · 06-02-10, 11:04 AM

I would love a 6-4 win to Djoko in the 4rd set, then my 3-1 and +5,5 would cash!

But did you see I also threw in a smaller bet on Djoko 3-2 just in case? Hopefully you did.

Is it safe to take a quick nap for a bit then?

**TennisBabe** · 06-02-10, 11:09 AM

Not yet IMO
