EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

dRavidC · 11-09-11, 05:08 PM

interesting stat: all the 12 matches played today have one thing in common ==> they were all straight set victories!!!

EaglesPhan36 · 11-09-11, 11:37 PM

Thursday ...

Tipsarevic -125
Parlay: Fish + Bryans [-110]
Troicki +318

Not sure Tipsarevic is 100%, but who is at this point? Was not impressed with Berdych's win over Verdasco at all. Tipsarevic's game is better for this surface if he's right. Berdych is all but in the Tour Finals even with a loss, but Tipsarevic can keep pushing with a win as he needs a couple more after this one to get a shot. Fish can lock down a spot in the ATP Finals with a win over Monaco. Monaco has had a real nice run the last week plus, but a focused Fish with something to play for is what I like. Bryan Brothers in great form at the end of the year, they should continue their momentum. And same as yesterday, I'm still not solid that Djokovic is here to play very much longer. As I suggested, if you think about making a play on Troicki ... I'd make it half your normal wager size or less. It's a play on a hunch/injury angle, obviously not on overall game as a healthy Djokovic should dismantle him. I don't think we learned a ton about Djokovic against Dodig. He was stiff early, then got loose and was never pressured. Don't know that Troicki will do it either if Djokovic is here to play again, but I'm paying to find out. Although my gut tells me if Djokovic is going to get out after collecting his bonus ... he probably won't step back on court whenever he decides to check out. Walkover City.

Tipsarevic vs. Berdych match will be fun to watch. Berdych needs to advance to QF to qualify the London Tourney, and Tipsarevic needs to win this tourney to qualify to London Tourney.

MatI · 11-10-11, 05:57 AM

Are you watching this Tipsarevic match?

From up 5-1 to down 5-6. Tips needs to focus!

Aeiou1x2 · 11-10-11, 06:09 AM

Yeah, 7-5 lol. Tipsh.it

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 06:10 AM

Wow. Unreal. Left to go somewhere where the drive took 20 minutes and he blows a 5-1 lead? What the F.

Aeiou1x2 · 11-10-11, 06:13 AM

Yeah Unreal. Feel like 2nd set is gonna be just another replay of 1st set.

MatI · 11-10-11, 06:19 AM

He can pull this back but looks like its going to be an epic battle of unforced errors. Im not going to put myself through the worry, onto the next game.

Aeiou1x2 · 11-10-11, 06:25 AM

The 2nd set is playing exactly same as the 1st set. 3-1 Tipshi.t

CorkyThatcher · 11-10-11, 06:28 AM

If Tips can come back and take the 2nd that would be a huge momentum shift. Need that.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 06:44 AM

Lost his break lead. I think he's cooked. He'll need a major donation from Berdych to win this set.

MatI · 11-10-11, 06:46 AM

meanwhile, Novak is looking a little off today....

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 06:48 AM

Yeah if Troicki wins this set ... not so sure that it won't be time for Djokovic to go count his 1.6 mil on a flight out of Paris.

MatI · 11-10-11, 06:49 AM

Exactly what i was thinking!

Pride · 11-10-11, 06:53 AM

tipsy has fukked everyone.

i dont remember the last time i saw a guy blow 5-1

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 06:56 AM

I'm not going to forgive Tipsarevic for this late season BS. That's twice in a row that F has screwed me somehow. First, retiring before a set was over so that I lost going against him and now this choke job.

Adding ...

Tsonga-Seppi Over 21.5 [-115]

Pride · 11-10-11, 07:14 AM

tipsy is forever on my blacklist after what i saw in that match.

FOREVER YOU FUKKER

tevari · 11-10-11, 07:19 AM

Tailing you on that over.

showtiime · 11-10-11, 07:21 AM

Yeah, had the squareish play with the over, was riding that last service game like hell. All you had to do was hold tips.

Oh well.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 07:42 AM

Troicki probably gets rolled now, but Djokovic looks very beatable. Will fade him again if he survives today. Still won't be surprised if he pulls out of this tournament though if he wins today.

MatI · 11-10-11, 07:45 AM

yeah agreed. Djokovic is very up and down today. Your right with the fade.

I managed to hedge with Djock for the win @ 3.00 so I will be good either way. Thanks Ep.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 07:47 AM

Anyone worth a damn would have taken him out in two today. Djokovic left a lot of break opps out there, but Troicki dorked around and/or had mercy on his fellow Serb.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 07:55 AM

Prediction: If Tsonga wins today, Djokovic gives him a walkover. If Seppi wins, Djokovic stays in.

Pride · 11-10-11, 07:56 AM

the match was fixed man. they had a gameplan. djokovic tried his hardest to give the match away but they didnt challenge a ball way out and there was another ball that was a gimme and it wasnt out apparently. that was to go up a break and win np cause joker doesnt care.

djokovic wins and pulls out of the tournament.

MatI · 11-10-11, 07:58 AM

i want what your smoking.

CorkyThatcher · 11-10-11, 08:13 AM

That could be the dumbest thing I've ever read, Pride.

Boxing Champ · 11-10-11, 08:23 AM

That ball was OUT.......on break point
They didn't call it....Troicki would have been up a break, late in the 2nd....
That was bullshit....Troicki looked at it and said it's ok...point to Joker...
WHEN THE BALL WAS OUT..How da fak do u do that if you wanna win???

Boxing Champ · 11-10-11, 08:30 AM

How bout this parlay>>>>
Bryant BROS/Federer/Fish/ at about +119 ????
Maybe even add Lopez too...

blackbeSSt · 11-10-11, 09:00 AM

here's my shits and giggles parlay

Federer, Bryan/Bryan, Llodra/Zimonjic, Darcis +153

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 09:33 AM

Looks like another donation day for me. Hopefully the parlay can hit, otherwise shut out. Thought Tsonga would be a little lazier today and Seppi would play a bit more solid to keep that total over, but not to be. Am going to add something on Lopez-Isner this afternoon ... just trying to finish up figuring out which one might not be a loser.

jrw · 11-10-11, 09:39 AM

I like Lopez and the Over personally.

EaglesPhan36 · 11-10-11, 12:01 PM

I'm ******* done for the year. Today was absolutely the biggest piss on my cornflakes day I have had all year. Tipsarevic. Now Fish. Did not watch, but from what I am gathering from the other sites ... he retires because of the hamstring possibly ... if it's a concern, don't step on the court asshole.

sportman1313 · 11-10-11, 12:32 PM

Hey brother, i feel you here...yesterday was an awful awful day for me. In fact, it was the worst day in tennis for me in the longest time...went 0-3 and lost 1200 in blowout losses (almagro, mayer, and simon). Then college bball wasn't nice to me, nor was college football but altogether lost about 1250 for the day, after making some back up in the college football also. I've had worse days and lost much more money but never in such a pathetic blowout type of way in tennis b4, that wasn't even close. I decided to give tennis a rest today and glad i did bc I liked both fish and tipsarevic....would have been irate had fish retired when i was on him. I agree, if your hammy hurts don't fkng play. It's as simple as that smh. Get 'em back though bro, don't stay down

cesar8000 · 11-10-11, 12:52 PM

Boxing Champ · 11-10-11, 01:35 PM

I'm faked for the day too....
What a facked up day.. Nothing is going right.
OUT ball called IN on Troicki's break point to go up 4-2 on Joker..
4 to 1 favorite Bryan fags lose...
Tipsarevich blows 5-1 lead...
Fish retires after winning 6-1, and leading 4-1 in a tiebreak in the 2nd...
I won't be surprised if Federer loses or retires...and Isner wins....
Fak Tennis..
