good luck Shari, on Warwinka with you

Thanks guys! First set to Wawa so that's a nice start. Best of luck to you too.

TakeIt - Yeah those videos are classic. There's a thread about it in PT with some pretty funny comments.

Shari, babe, you on Schiavone today?

I indeed am. I may be the only one though.

Mikail · 09-07-10, 01:49 PM

Yeah! I thought I was the only one on Schiavone. She can beat Williams and today would be a good day to do it.

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 01:50 PM

i'd say that's a good sign

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 01:52 PM

wawrinka breaks!

it's all downhill from here

I think you're in the wrong thread - I'm on Wawrinka.

But from the looks of this he's going to lose the 2nd set.

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 02:22 PM

no wait, isn't going downhill a good thing? or my english is bad...

oh and sorry i jinxed the set

Going downhill means it's turning to crap. And you didn't jinx anything. No such thing in here. Wawa just got too nervous when serving for the set and let it slip away. It's all good - hopefully he can keep up playing exactly how he has been and take this set instead.

msj0001 · 09-07-10, 02:26 PM

querrey's got the momentum, he needs to bring more emotion into it, but I still think Wawrinka is hitting his ground strokes better

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 02:29 PM

uphill is bad also, no?

you can't win!

Uphill means you have a lot of work to do but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Just difficult but still hope. Downhill = hopeless.

SRBI · 09-07-10, 02:51 PM

Freakin double post oops.

SRBI · 09-07-10, 02:53 PM

Schiavone 1st set @ +150 is my play. If Venus drops the 1st set she can still rally and come back to win 2-1. If Schiavone loses 1st set she will lose the match for sure. That's why I think the 1st set option is the best for this match-up as well as the over if Schiavone manages to grab the 1st set as predicted. Good luck.

msj0001 · 09-07-10, 02:55 PM

any opinions on Verdasco?

Yeah, I took the first set prop as well as more of a hedge against the ML bet. Franny will come out fired up as she always does lately and her best opportunity to win will be to get the first set under her belt. Plus I'm thinking if Peer and Marino can take Venus to a first set tiebreak then Franny has a good shot of winning the first set altogether.

Not really. I kind of like Ferrer but not enough to take him in this one. Too many variables in this match, especially since they're two countrymen. I'm almost just tempted to take the over but the overs have hardly been hitting at all this tournament so I'm a bit leery of that as well. Just seems like too obvious of a play.

Glad we agree

question, does this match start after Wawrinka/Querrey are done? Schi just hit +200 at 5dimes.

msj0001 · 09-07-10, 03:04 PM

Thanks, I made a small play on Verdasco just for fun

Mikail · 09-07-10, 03:07 PM

It appears late money pouring in on Williams.

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 03:10 PM

late money is just last minute bets, you don't know if they are sharps or squares...

yeah that's true. It could be all the squares who don't even know tennis but know about the Williams sisters blindly betting Venus today.

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 03:13 PM

Wawrinka takes the 3rd!!!

hawley · 09-07-10, 03:15 PM

shari you on wawrinka?

i took him live just before he broke querrey for the third set so lets hope he can take this fourth set and end it soon

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 03:32 PM

books luring everyone into thinking venus will win 2-0..

Shifty107 · 09-07-10, 03:49 PM

Hey Shari how you doing? I've been looking at the stosur/clijsters match and the total is set at 20.5. I really like the over here. I honestly believe stosur could steel the first set if not taking one set to a tie brreak. If this happens the over is almost a certainty. Any thoughts.

SRBI · 09-07-10, 03:53 PM

Schiavone/Williams Ends In 3 Sets +157 is an absolute steal next to Schiavone to win 1st set @ +150.

rav_himself · 09-07-10, 05:51 PM

wawrinka victorious

congrats shari

i got unlucky with querrey but the big one cashed. I dodged a huge bullet there.

Not unlucky with Querrey my friend. The better hard court player, who could also handle the wind, won.

Too bad for Franny but if there is any good karma for me out there Sammy will now hold her serve and take this from Clijsters.

Wawa is not a good hard court player, but can't take anything away from his victory.

Well he's in the quarters final at the US Open after defeating Murray and Querrey, two very good hard court players, so it seems to me that he's not too bad on hard court..

did anyone get on the 3-0 Nadal train?

Wawa's win rate on hard in the past 12 months: 65% All time: 59%

Querrery's win rate on hard in the past 12 months: 48% All time: 60%

Wawa is the better hard court player.
