**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:54 PM

5-2 Djokovic he's about to serve it out now

That was scary

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 04:59 PM

Djokovic wins. Day is finally done. Time for a nap now haha

Isner and Dolgopolov tomorrow

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 05:01 PM

Joker is a winner! I needed that!

**JNic** · 06-21-10, 05:47 PM

can't wait for isner. it's gonna be a real battle but i just wanna see how many aces isner will pile up

**MUHerd37** · 06-21-10, 08:27 PM

Got some questions about some prices for Tuesday. Some of these prices seem too low. Stosur -247 over Kaia Kanepi, Aravane Rezai -220 over Magdalena Rybarikova. Those are the 2 most questionable. Why are those prices so low? Am I missing something?

**Stacocakes** · 06-21-10, 10:19 PM

MUherd the price for Rezai is low because of injury concerns.She had to pull out of Eastbourne last week with a right wrist injury
Stosur...I have no idea why her price is like that. I am thinking possibly due to the "letdown theory" after the big run at the French Open (see Schiavone today) combined with the fact that Kanepi has won 8 of her last nine matches coming into this tournament. Still can't see Stosur losing this match though

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-21-10, 10:30 PM

Stosur seems to struggle at Wimbledon, even when she wins. It's the one surface that so far her game has not translated to just yet.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 09:12 AM

Stosur about to lose.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 09:49 AM

Some upsets early today. James Blake loses in straight sets to Robin Haase. James, hang it up already.You are a complete emberassment to yourself.

Seppi beats Almagro in straight sets. Figured the line was off on that match so Almagro must have been injured. Nice hit on Seppi Eagles.

Petkovic surprisingly loses to Chakvetadze. Really didn't see that coming

Stosur upset by Kanepi in straight sets........I have no faith in her but I still figured Stosur would win this match.Hope you didn't bet on her MUherd.

Garcia-Lopez goes down as a -200 something favorite...another slam another first round exit for him

Dolgopolov up 2 sets to love and 3-0 in the third set. Thats what I am talking about.FInish it off

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 09:59 AM

Dolgopolov blows a break in the third set and is facing break points again

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 10:01 AM

Garcia-Lopez totally choked man. He was up 2-0, had break leads I think in both the 3rd & 4th and choked. Broke back in the 5th and was serving to even it at 5 and he loses that game on-serve at LOVE. He had been fairly reliable on grass at Wimbledon, he boned my parlay.

Dude, what is insane is Seppi was +145 prior to the match ... I added on to my original bet for that.

Benneteau is down 2 sets as a -450 favorite. Feel bad for anyone who backed him, but he's French after all.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:01 AM

Another favorite goes down with Dulko losing to Niculescu.

My SBR draws are shot. These first round upsets are killing me

Dolgopolov fights off some bp's to make it 5-2 in the third. One more game

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 10:03 AM

Hey Staco, what do you think about Ferrero-Malisse. Seems to be a much anticipated match. I am thinking about JCF even though his fitness may be a concern.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:04 AM

Wow Eagles I didn't realize that Garcia-Lopez lost in that fashion.That is horrible. At least you hit Seppi hard to make up for it. I can't believe his line moved so much. Was around -120 or so up until today and you say it got all the way up to +145 prior to match?? That's everyone needing to place a bet and seeing a guy ranked in the top 20 against a no name and he was the dog so everyone was betting him until he was a favorite, not knowing that he was injured. I didn't have the balls to bet Seppi because I knew if I did he would lose in straight sets and I would look like the idiot for taking him at that price over Almagro. Good hit though Eagles

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:07 AM

I am not taking the match Eagles but I agree that JCF is the play. I haven't looked at the line for a couple days but I am guessing that JCF is still the dog here?I was surprised that he was. The line is the way it is though because Malisse has been playing very well coming into this tournament and JCF is coming in having lost two straight matches. Most of the wins Malisse got were against stiffs but he did beat Djokovic in London. Career head to head is 1-0 JCF. The match is pretty much a toss up but I agree that JCF is the better player and SHOULD win. Anything is possible though.Definately worth a chance as a dog though I agree.Best of luck if you take him

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 10:08 AM

I'm gonna be angry with myself if Lacko beats Baghdatis. I earmarked that one, but I had to choose between that and Sela and chose Sela which of course did not work out.

JCF has moved to a slight favorite at my book, -113. It was pretty much a pick 'em when it opened that that book and the line has stayed around there mostly.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:14 AM

Baghdatis is disapointing in these majors. I know some people that are picking him to go really far here but I am just not to sold on him at all. Gotta think he will come back and win this match here but as a big favorite he is not worth a play ever really. I don't mind him as an underdog though. Not really sure what the line was on this Lacko match.

Did you take Dolgopolov Eagles? He's looking good so far. Someone must have called the trainer though because the score has been froze on 5-2 in the third for about 10 mins

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:15 AM

Garcia-Lopez was matched at 1.01 on Betfair. Feel bad for those people they were buried

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:16 AM

Dolgopolov wins

Good way to start off the tournament.Just need Isner to hit now.

Scoreboard must have been frozen or something because this match when from 5-2 in the third to 6-3.

**smitch124** · 06-22-10, 10:16 AM

Viva La Dolgopolov!

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 10:26 AM

Baghdatis I think was around -230 or -250, which made no sense based on his recent form to me. Lacko isn't a grass super star, but still. Baggy seems to have corrected himself after losing the 1st set. Murray is down a break in case you didn't notice. Way to come out swinging MUG! Skipped Dolgopolov, was a little scared of his youth but he played well for sure and I think there were quite a few who did a nice job cashing that one.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:31 AM

Smitch we just need Isner now to cap off the day

Murray is broken already in the first set

Hopefully Murray wakes up for the both of us Eagles.I don't think there are many on him to win it all besides us haha

**Boner_18** · 06-22-10, 10:35 AM

Isner might struggle but you should be fine. I wish I had faded James Blake like always but u missed the boat.

**Boner_18** · 06-22-10, 10:37 AM

That is I missed the boat.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 10:39 AM

Murray broke back. That Isner-Mahut match should be a good one. Mahut is a tough cookie on grass, so it's gonna be tough I think. Isner's serve though is the thing that probably ought to win him that one.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 10:54 AM

Murray grabbed the first set.Nice

Will see you guys in a couple hours.Have some running around to do.Should be back for the Isner match

**MUHerd37** · 06-22-10, 12:46 PM

Yeah Stosure cost me 2 parlays. Not that bad tho. Verdasco is going to hurt me tho since he is now down 2 sets to 0 to Foginini.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 02:14 PM

Verdasco down 2 sets to 1 now to Fognini.What a joke.

JCF down 2 sets to 1 to Malisse. JCF is another player that has his mind on his luxury hotel business and that is it.He should not be losing to Malisse

Isner down 2 sets to 1.Not looking good at all.At least the Dolgopolov bet cashed so that will nullify most of the Isner loss.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 02:22 PM

Verdasco loses in four sets.There goes one outright

He should never ever lose to Fognini in this situation. Tennis is becoming a joke sport. How can ranked players not even get out of the first round.They don't care thats why.Simple as that.Why do we bet this?

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 02:23 PM

JCF has the break in the fourth set

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 02:26 PM

Hey at least Verdasco out opens it up for Murray more. Think JCF is going to make it to a 5th set. Great match now after a nervous first set. Malisse has been pretty good on grass lately, I don't think it's bad that JCF is battling here since he's only played one match on grass this year.

**JNic** · 06-22-10, 02:28 PM

isner sooo close to the break in the 4th..

**MUHerd37** · 06-22-10, 02:40 PM

Yeah how many break points has Isner blown in the set? Now Isner is getting in danger.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:02 PM

Isner is being an idiot.He has had at least 5 bps in this set. Was down in the tiebreak to but its squared up now.I am scared
