The wind seems to be a big disadvantage for Soderling, Federer uses the wind as a tool rather than fighting through it.

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 09:42 PM

Huge Federer is up 2 sets to 0. I admit I was worried about this match

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 09:42 PM

Federer wins the 2nd set 6-4. 1 more!!!

I was actually more worried about Djoko, not Fed. Maybe that was silly of me but I spent so much damn time looking at stats from this week and the past year on Fed and Sod on hardcourt and I just really couldn't see how Fed would lose unless he was under the influence of some harsh drugs.

Too many people look at Soderling's win on clay against Fed and one at a pissy tournament in Abu Dhabi and think he's got a chance. Bookies were definitely smart again by hanging an attractive price on Sod to suck people in.

Glad to see we are all on Federer. Hopefully he can shut the door and end this in three.

Woof woof!

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 10:09 PM

Soderling is playing much better in the 3rd. Venus does look good as a dog

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 10:15 PM

Fed getting sloppy but he breaks back right away nice

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 10:16 PM

That break back was huge. Soderling is playing much more aggressive and Federer is playing defense

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 10:23 PM

2 bps take one fed cmon

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 10:24 PM

Huge break

Serve this out now

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 10:25 PM

Serving for the match!

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 10:26 PM

Federer vs Joker will be really interesting

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 10:28 PM

Parlay cashes

Seems like everyone had Djo,Fed and someone else parlayed together. Nice hits today guys.

Already locked in my play for tomorrow

Venus +175

Can't pass up that price

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 10:29 PM

Staco who do u like in Wawrinka/Youzhny

Stacocakes · 09-08-10, 10:49 PM

No play on the wawrinka match. Complete toss up to me. Can see either winning the match. Who do you guys like??

Boo-yah!

The Yankees sure gave me a scare. Thank you Nick Swisher.

Had Fed in 3 parlays. Admittedly, was a bit worried in first set. After that...

MUHerd37 · 09-08-10, 11:05 PM

I lean a little toward Wawrinka but I agree that it's pretty much a toss-up. Surprised either guy made it this far

I see one play...the over. Looking for a five-setter.

Agreed! Seems too good to be true doesn't it - makes me think the bookies know something we don't. I'm on the same play and also locked in at those odds - so BOL!

shari91 · 09-09-10, 12:33 AM

Are we missing something with the Venus line? I feel like we are but haven't looked closely enough at it to figure out what yet. I had envisioned Kimmy being the favourite but not like this. This surely can't only be due to her winning it last year. Mind you, I thought Venus was going to lose against Schiavone so maybe I faded her one match too early and the line is reflecting the fact her form isn't the greatest this year? Something smells fishy here to me.

Nice hit on the parlay Staco!

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 02:03 AM

Thanks Shari

I think the line was made based on the fact that Clijsters has won the last four meetings. Plus Venus Williams thinks she is high and mighty and doesn't have to play any tournaments but the majors so they are thinking that Clijsters is in the better match play form of the two. I agree though that at these odds it is definately worth a shot to take Venus. Clijsters at -185 or whatever is way to big. Venus or nothing for this match.

obie · 09-09-10, 12:38 PM

Hey Staco, what do you say taking that there will come a tie-break in the wawrinka-youzhny game?

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 01:50 PM

Tiebreak in the entire match? I would say there will be one ya.Sounds like a good bet but whats the price on that obie?

This doubles tennis is absolutely horrible.No one in the crowd gives a **** either. Just end this match so we can get some real tennis on here

I also wish they would get this shit over with. I disagree a little with you on the Cilsters match. I will have a small play on Venus SU as well. However, I will also put Clijsters in a parlay with something which will give it way better value.

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 02:28 PM

Wawrinka about to start

obie · 09-09-10, 02:32 PM

I got it for 1,60 - so i took it!

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 02:39 PM

Nice Obie. Stans serve has been really good so I like there being at least one tiebreak

obie · 09-09-10, 02:48 PM

What a start, 2 breaks :O

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 03:13 PM

Obie your tiebreak is looking good if Youzh can hold here

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 03:17 PM

geez break wawa

obie · 09-09-10, 03:23 PM

Yea, geez :S .. But im not worried, i'll keep up the good spirit

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 04:11 PM

Obie here's your chance.Just need a wawrinka hold and you win

Stacocakes · 09-09-10, 04:18 PM
