scary moments...

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:02 PM

JCF getting killed in the fifth set and about to go down 5-1. What was the point of winning the fourth set if he just shit the bed in the fifth set

**JNic** · 06-22-10, 03:03 PM

3 combined double faults!! talk about choking for 2 huge servers

**JNic** · 06-22-10, 03:03 PM

this is perfect for isner, he can recover from darkness stoppage and no way hes gonna get broken in the 5th

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:04 PM

Isner going to a fifth set huge

Hope he does this.This is tight

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:05 PM

Any ideas on how much time we have left here to play?

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:06 PM

6-1 Malisse in the fifth set. Pathetic from JCF. fighting to get to a fifth set then that

Hope you didn't go to big on JCF Eagles

**JNic** · 06-22-10, 03:06 PM

staco what do you like tomorrow? i like troicki +175 over melzer, brands +150 over davydenko. i also love istomin and fish but denis is -150 and fish is -250...

**JNic** · 06-22-10, 03:07 PM

after greta arn and alicia molik, these 2 will finish the 5th, so looking at 9 am est start

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:07 PM

play suspended in the Isner match.Nice

JCF wanted to get home before it got dark

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 03:08 PM

JNic haven't even had a chance to look at tomorrow's card yet.Will be looking at it shortly here

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 03:12 PM

Interesting one. Brendan Evans-Albert Montanes. A big difference in ranking class. #310 or so vs. #31, yet the price is about a pick 'em. Evans has a nice serve and played well on grass last season and shot thru qualis here. I want to see if Llodra is gonna do his usual disappearing act in Slams against the first big boy he faces, Roddick. Could be a good match if Llodra can ever find some nerves. Maybe he has them now after winning in Eastbourne.

Luczak over Clement also a possibility.

**Boner_18** · 06-22-10, 03:36 PM

Looking at the Evans line is making my head spin. Sure he has been playing on grass for the last 2 months and has been ranked as high as 100 or so. But Montanes is good. And not just on clay. Is there an injury at play? I'm not gonna over think it and snag the spaniard at this price while I can.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-22-10, 03:56 PM

I don't think Montanes' game is well suited for grass at all. Record backs that up mostly. If you look at this wins on grass, they have all come against clay court types. Lorenzi this year, Canas & Berlocq last year.

**ji03** · 06-22-10, 04:02 PM

I'm liking Luczak again. I backed him in the 1st round and like him again.

**beefcake** · 06-22-10, 07:54 PM

Hoping andy gets upset,would make my day..

**raydog** · 06-22-10, 08:51 PM

okay cakes, iim back home and ready to gamble...

**MUHerd37** · 06-22-10, 10:55 PM

I really need Isner and Hantuchova to pull finish out tomorrow. Hantuchova was down either 4-0 or 4-1 in the 2nd set and came back to win it. King was gassed and had nothing left but got bailed out by darkness.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 11:24 PM

MUherd I hear ya with Isner. I need him to pull it out to

Have been looking at tomorrow's lineup and I can't really find anything that I like. Was thinking Istomin over Schuettler but then I realized that I really was grasping.

Just going to live bet and hope Isner finishes it off.Probably the safest thing to do. Good luck with your bets tomorrow guys

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 11:30 PM

I can't stay away who am I kidding. Going to have a little 3 player parlay to make things interesting:

Berdych,Monfils and Djokovic -103

Pretty much an even money parlay with three big favs. I know Monfils can't really be trusted at any point but Beck is coming into this tournament having lost 8 in a row until his first round win at wimbledon. I'll take my chances at even money basically here. Djokovic, he was piss poor in his opening round match but hopefully that woke him up.

Best of luck tomorrow guys

**venice2222** · 06-22-10, 11:33 PM

I got killed with the Verdasco loss today. I had him on most of my parlays.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 11:37 PM

I have Verdasco as an outright to win it all. Pissed me off that he didn't even show up for this tournament. Could he make it any more obvious that he just wanted to skip the grass court season all together? He had a pretty decent career record on grass as well so I figured he could do something here and win some matches but I guess not. Loses to the 80th ranked Fognini of all people who stands so weird when he hits his shots it looks like he has a stick up his ass.

**Stacocakes** · 06-22-10, 11:48 PM

That is classic that Weezy just told me that Monfils plays on PokerStars. I didn't know that. Guess that explains why he is always so poor at tennis lately if he is on there playing Poker all of the time. That's cool though

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:18 AM

I'm gonna be pissed if Roddick loses to Llodra. I put Roddick in a bunch of plays. He's down 1 set already. Looks like Roddick is really struggling with Lloda's serve. It would be horrible to see Roddick get knocked out of Wimbledon in round 2. Llodra has been playing great on grass but it's not like he has played anyone of Roddick's stature. Really hope that Roddick pulls this out.

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:22 AM

Roddick breaks and now serves for 2nd set!!!!!!!!!!!

**JNic** · 06-23-10, 08:33 AM

how long will this isner/mahut 5th set be??

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:39 AM

Not sure but it better be on tv!

**JNic** · 06-23-10, 08:43 AM

you can watch on espn3, top feed

**JNic** · 06-23-10, 08:45 AM

ahh, 5th set troicki/melzer, i hope troicki pulls this out

**beefcake** · 06-23-10, 08:46 AM

Mardy is smelling like dead fish today..

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:47 AM

Thanks. DirecTV is actually showing it. They have it labeled as the Monfils/Beck match but it's actually Isner/Mahut. Should have checked that earlier.

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:50 AM

Roddick wins the 3rd set!!! Took it 6-1 that set!

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 08:57 AM

Hantuchova wins! Finishes a parlay off from yesterday. Come on Isner!

**MUHerd37** · 06-23-10, 09:11 AM

Isner squandered match point

**Stacocakes** · 06-23-10, 09:25 AM

Isner match may go on forever.They might just give up a flip a coin to see who wins
