Shari's tennis plays

[newjerseydevils]

haha no shari.......i was trying to jinx it so we win

[newjerseydevils]

juan carlos ferrero in clay is scary though

[shari91]

It's all good. The feed of that Brianti crapfest kept freezing my laptop so I just read your post quickly.

But yeah, when JCF wants to actually play, he's quite the beast out there. Hopefully he decides he's exerted enough effort for the day so Zeballos can get back in there.

[newjerseydevils]

brianti needs to win this tie breaker..

[shari91]

Definitely. I had to shut the match off though. Not only was it screwing up my computer a bit but it's painful to watch. Terrible tennis and Vives' blue shoes were pissing me off.

[yisman]

ughhhhhh

lost the tiebreaker 8-6


she was up a break


announcers claiming Vives has taken a "surprising lead", because she's ranked lower, but she was about -150, so not a surprise for her to take the first set.

[shari91]

I'm not happy she lost the 1st set but I am somewhat pleased that it was at least close, although she did blow her chances. At least we definitely have proof there was a lot of value in our line.

And Zeballos broke back so hopefully he's back on track now too.

[yisman]

Vives took her cap off for the second set. I guess there's less sun now that it's getting late.

[shari91]

Ok Brianti, consolidate this damn break now.

[TomaCro]

i go for +1.5 sett on Vinciguerra against Soderling today.

They had som good matches.

Definitely! I'm on the over - not sure if I posted it or not though.

Best of luck!

[yisman]

I have to say, I'm not used to hearing "drink break". They have plenty of drinks with them.

Bathroom break or training break, ok.

But what drinks do they have back there? Vodka?

[bobbyhazell]

Impressive comeback from Zebs for the 1st.

First set Zeballos!!

That would explain a lot of WTA matches I've seen.

[newjerseydevils]

brianti down in the second.....................game over! ....vives is gonna cruise to a win.........vives is the stone cold lock of the CENTURY now

[newjerseydevils]

brianti down 4-2...yeah now it def done....

[yisman]

this is pathetic.

wtf brianti

That would explain a lot of WTA matches I've seen.

Possibly including this one.

[bobbyhazell]

I'd love to know the win percentage for players who have smashed their racket into the ground/sulked during an opening set, I'll bet it's good fade material, her head has completely gone.

[yisman]

^ true, she's been a total head case. She did manage to somehow get up a break in both sets before folding, though. Brianti looks like a witch.

announcer: "if only England in the World Cup could have found the net as often as Brianti has"

[Yezzir]

Great call on Crybas, Shari.

I felt confident after seeing the H2H.

[shari91]

WTF? Did Brianti take a drink out of the 'let's throw the match' bottle on that break?

I don't mind losing a bet but to go from a first set like that to a 2nd like this is pitiful. Even by the WTA's standards.

[timmyboy34243]

Brianti played like she was afraid to win.

[sonnybaby]

No, the match will be finished off tomorrow and then the bet will be settled

[sonnybaby]

OK THANKS

[TodaysAction]

Looking forward to reading your thread Thursday.

[EaglesPhan36]

That Simon-Greul match on the total was one of the unluckiest pushes on a total. Stupid Simon was rolling in the 2nd, up 4-1 and proceeded to blow the damn thing. Helped your Greul win, but Simon should have taken that to a 3rd set. I can't remember anyone in recent years who has had a legit 15 minutes of fame in tennis and then crapped out harder than Simon. Guy made his huge run in the summer and fall in one year into the Top 10 and is lucky to beat Top 300 players now. Injuries have hurt for sure, but really I think he was doing coke with Gasquet and its magical powers wore off.

[shari91]

Yeah, Simon really must qualify for one of the biggest disappointments in tennis right now. I kept trying to give him a pass because of his injuries but he obviously has it in him to compete now as shown by going up 4-1 in the 2nd. He just can't finish it off.

The good news is that the Soderling/Vinciguerra over hit even though I was a bit worried after the first set.

Since my books here probably won't post lines until after I've logged off for the day, best of luck with all your early plays guys and I'll try to jump on as early as I can tomorrow.

[Mr Windy City]

GL Shari!

[Yezzir]

I've always hated Simon, that pusher bastard.
