The art of tanking

[Wilforth]

We see it so often in this game. Look at what these players are doing right now:

Pere Riba
Daniel Brands

Riba should still be ok.

Brands is going to get hate mail from me though - friggin Vinciguerra has a messed up foot and said he's most likely retiring after this tournament. No excuses there.

You thought Riba would be ok! There you go! These guys know what they're doing!

Cripes, I really did. He was playing LUCZAK for the love of Christopher.

Well Brands and Hanescu both blew a parlay for me so I've started the week down. Time to go do some chasing.

Brands isn't some big time pro though. I think anyone who bet on him today probably did so because of his Wimbledon results.

Riba wound up holding on.

I did a Brands/Riba 2-teamer. My only reason for the Brands pick is the health of his opponent.

That's exactly why I took him as well. Well that and Vinciguerra's retirement. I figured he'd rather go out in this round having had a decent match than risk getting destroyed by Soderling in the next. Not really the ideal way to finish off your career.

Difficult week this, half the tour doesn't give a monkeys.

Brands!!!

Brands eventually lost. Good for me!
