Ferrer wins and the parlay cashes

Would be a perfect tournament if Verdasco hadn't lost in the first round and blew my outright out of the water.

Let's keep this going guy

Nadal easily wins the fourth and fifth sets. You can play at a great level like Haase did for a set or two but over a five set match it is hard for lesser ranked players to keep up the play. Thats why nadal won.

Querrey wins though it wasn't as easy as his price would have dictated

beefcake · 06-24-10, 01:30 PM

Hey staco,querrey has a nice draw,I think he can make a run to the semis..his odds were about 90-1 coming in.Gonna wait and see then make my future play.i was worried since he had lost in the early round the last few Grand slams but this win might be the mental breaker he needs to break through.With Nadal and fed looking a little shaky early ,got to try and find the surprise player who can do it.

JNic · 06-24-10, 01:33 PM

querrey definitely has the game, but he hasn't shown mentally he is strong enough to take out murray here. but i agree the fognini, benneteau, kamke, tsonga quarter is a joke

Stacocakes · 06-24-10, 01:41 PM

Kuznetsova bows out early in a slam once again

Was actually thinking of putting her in my parlay today.Glad I didn't geez

Stacocakes · 06-24-10, 01:43 PM

Isner has got to be a fade his next match.He will be to drained

Ya I agree that I dont' see Querrey beating Murray here. Just don't think he is quite on that level yet. Plus I don't really know about Querrey fitnesswise with long matches. You have really good odds on him though Beefcake so anything is possibly really

Stacocakes · 06-24-10, 02:16 PM

Serena beating down Chakvetadze. Wonder if she will even let her win a game..

beefcake · 06-24-10, 02:47 PM

Anna C from #4 or 5 in the world to not even a top 100 player...She has been shite ever since her house got robbed 2-3 years ago.

szk1983 · 06-24-10, 03:12 PM

Good Luck Everybody!

Stacocakes · 06-24-10, 03:22 PM

Agree totally Beefcake.Every since they broke into her house she has pretty much plummeted in the rankings. Could be lots of reasons for that now but all I know is that she won't regain her form ever again sadly.

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 01:44 AM

Was looking through the matches for friday and nothing really amazed me. Was thinking Melzer might be a good play over Lopez but you really never know what you are going to get with either so I passed on it. This is the only play I have for tomorrow

Berdych,Hewitt and Henin +117

Henin has owned Petrova to a tune of 14-2 head to head. Henin is coming into this tournament having won Hertogenbosch so she is in great form.Have to go with her here. Petrova's nerves get the best of her in these situations. Going to continue to ride the Berdych train as well.Has been good for me lately. I'm adding Hewitt in here as well after seeing what Eagles put about Monfils having had to tape up his knee in his last match. The injury concern together with the fact that Hewitt is playing some amazing tennis at the moment and he looks like a no-brainer to be included in the parlay

Best of luck tomorrow guys

nice run so far cakes

JNic · 06-25-10, 08:25 AM

berdych is a serious dark horse again isnt he, i dont hear anybody talking about him. Istomin is also underrated but berdych will definitely win, looks like an easy parlay hit

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:00 AM

Djokovic wins easily

De Bakker kills Isner in straight sets. Knew that was the play after the marathon matches for Isner but once again was just to chicken to pull the trigger.

Henin wins easily to win the first leg of the parlay. Two more to go

Clijsters and Jankovic advance

Bartoli advances as well.As I mentioned earlier,her draw is really opened up so she can advance far here. A quarterfinal appearance it looks like

I want to take Kleybanova +500 whatever it is over Venus but I can't pull the trigger bah

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:01 AM

Hewitt has the break in the first set

EaglesPhan36 · 06-25-10, 09:05 AM

Kleybanova isn't going to do anything against Venus, I don't think. Hewitt grabs the first set, 6-3.

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:19 AM

Hewitt wins the first set and now has 2 bps in the second set

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:27 AM

break Kleybanova

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:28 AM

and she gave the break right back haha

MUHerd37 · 06-25-10, 09:29 AM

I have never seen Youzhny play this badly. He was up a break early in the 5th and now hie is down a break. He is playing like shit. Just doing stupid shit that makes no sense.

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:29 AM

They sure have Berdych tucked away on a crap court here.Didn't even notice he was playing now

I'm about to go and play some tennis of my own.Be back in a couple hours guys

Shaky Russian performance, never seen?

This one is destined for some extra tennis or a nice choke.

kop1987 · 06-25-10, 09:35 AM

can mathieu win the game?? any comments?

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 09:36 AM

Maybe Youzhny is due for another racquet to his head??

JNic · 06-25-10, 09:50 AM

wow youzhny screwed up big time here, 3-0* and he had a break point for an insurance break... too bad, rafas draw looks even easier

EaglesPhan36 · 06-25-10, 10:14 AM

Berdy-Istomin tie break. Berdy needs to get this.

EaglesPhan36 · 06-25-10, 10:24 AM

Well Hewitt is cruising. Berdych sucked ass in the tie break.

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 12:05 PM

Hewitt and Henin both win. Now its just a matter of Berdych winning.He is down in a tiebreak in the third set. Scary times

Melzer comes back to win in four. Bah I should have bet him

Berdych is down 2 sets to 1 now geez

JNic · 06-25-10, 01:27 PM

brands saves 2 match points and just goes for all his shots and comes up with a crazy break 7-6 7-6 5-4, still alive

Stacocakes · 06-25-10, 03:05 PM

Berdych wins to cap off the parlay

Great hit on Brands JNic

Another winning day let's keep this going into tomorrow

Stacocakes · 06-26-10, 12:49 AM

I've looked over the card for saturday and there isn't much at all that I like. I am going to pass on it. Usually if I try to force some plays on a given day it ends very bad. Best to just sit this day out.

Best of luck tomorrow guys

tankman777 · 06-26-10, 04:16 AM

anyone taking chance on chardy?>

JNic · 06-26-10, 09:38 AM

wow that chardy collapse was surprising, went from serving for the match to losing in a matter of minutes...

EaglesPhan36 · 06-26-10, 10:13 AM

Surprising? That has been Chardy in 2010. He's either losing to players he has no business losing to or doing stuff like today. That's why I don't bet on his matches any more, you just don't know what you're gonna get. Nice comeback effort from him, but chokes in the end. He's got great talent, but seems to be lacking big time mentally.

MUHerd37 · 06-26-10, 10:23 AM

Rafa just lost the first set

MUHerd37 · 06-26-10, 10:27 AM

Rafa won the 1st set and lost the 2nd. Sorry.
