US Open time and we're all giving it a shot - so I'm starting my own tennis picks threads too dammit! Lines are from Pinnacle, though at the time my bet was placed not what they are now, and units played are given
WED, 1 SEP
3 units: Bondarenko, -125
Line has WAAAY overadjusted for Oudin and odds are too good to pass up for Bondarenko. Bondarenko has not been spectacular on hard courts, but has been losing only to good or in form players. Oudin is neither right now, large play of the day on Bondarenko.
2 units: Malisse, -142
The line on Malisse is this low because Sela beat him just over a month ago. Malisse showed at the Legg Mason though he is in fine form, beating Berdych before losing to a hot Baghdatis in the semis.
1 unit: Almagro -6, -102
Starace truly sucks on hard courts and is a perennial first round flopper. Almagro hasn't yet translated clay success to hard courts but is 10-6 this year on the surface - that's enough for me to think this one becomes a rout.
BOL everyone.
