I was kind of right in that Troicki came out and made a lot more UEs today, although he made up for that by serving big for most of that set. Glad Murray prevailed.

LoL @ Troicki. I missed the whole ball boy episode today. That's some funny shit.

Bartoli takes a topsy turvy 1st set in a tie break. Six breaks.Comment -
I tailed you on Bartoli. But since I'm greedy, I parlayed it with Nadal and Federer. Hopefully, Bartolo wins another set. Who knows with these broads though? It seems the loser of the 1st set in a tiebreak is destined to win the second set 6-0.
As far as the ball boy, that was a really stupid ruling. But no harm, no foul, since Troicki got the break on that service game.Comment -
Blown Shot #1 to serve out the match for Bartoli.
Hopefully Sveta chokes on her own serve.Comment -
Bartoli finishes it off. 7-6, 6-4. Doubles up next.Comment -
I assume Bartoli is not beating Schiavone?Comment -
These were my original thoughts on the draw when they came out and they appear some pages back in this thread. In sticking with that, I'm going with Bartoli. Frankenstein has been flirting with losing the last two rounds, but has been fortunate to battle through. Bartoli should get a massive lift from the French crowd.Comment -
Bartoli came off as a headcase today. Maybe I misread, but it seems this is a huge deal to her and she's really feeling pressure. Schiavone has the experience at least of winning last year and dealing with some troubles so far.
I'm picking an Azarenka-Schiavone final. You going with Azarenka-Bartoli? Watch it be Sharapova-Bartoli or somethingComment -
I had Azarenka-Stosur in our contest. Definitely sticking with Azarenka. I think Bartoli can win. This is a big deal to her. She's made no bones about how it's been a dream of hers to play in the French Open Final. Frenchies don't win this thing often. She'd be the first since Mary Pierce to even make the Final. Will wait to see what the price is. Let me say that Bartoli needs to offer a solid price to be worth the risk for sure.Comment -
1st set to the Indo-Pak Express in a tie break. Came back from a break down.Comment -
Bastards completely choked the 2nd set away. Took an early break and went up 2-1, now down 4-2. Looks like a 3rd set. Be interesting to see if they can squeeze it in before it gets too dark. Will be close if its competitive.Comment -
Looks like the Express are done. They should be kicking themselves. Had the match on their rackets in the 2nd set with a lead and have fallen apart since. Got broke early in the 3rd. Down 2-1.Comment -
Broke back. Can we consolidate and stay on-serve?Comment -
Tried watching double's tennis. Just can't do it. Reminds me of Raonic. A bunch of cheap serve points played by dicks.Comment -
Suspended at 5-5 in the 3rd. They played about ten minutes longer than the singles matches had been going. Think they were probably hoping someone would win it today. Oh well, still alive after it looked like they were finished. Very difficult spot for both teams to come out and play tomorrow so deep in a set, but without any sort of momentum from a full match of play. Indo-Pak Express is on-serve to start.
F-ing A French suckwads, get some floodlights in the stands and light it up or something. Tired of this suspended shit.Comment -
Fatty opened at +150..Just checked my Bet history and found out I took Marion at +8000 for SBR points..
Roll on fatty!!Comment -
Li is quite a character. Comes back in unbelievable ways. Probably it's when she remembers that advancing means more prize money
Comment -
+150 was about what I thought it'd be. Will wait and see if it stretches out. I'd like +170 to make it worth a reasonable roll. Otherwise, probably pass.Comment -
Any reason why Murray is such a HUUUUGE favorite over Chela? I know about the H2H, but Chela has a good record on clay court and it's not above Murray to choke(he lost to Donald Young afterall) -800 seems kind of excessive. He was only -280 against TroickiComment -
Wednesday's Points Plays
Parlay: Nadal + Sharapova [+101]
Chela +533Comment -
+533 is a little over the top but it's so hard to see Chela doing anything v Murray
It's just an awful style matchup for him unless Murray's ankle gets worse (doubtful) or he badly chokes
Love the Sharapova/Nadal parlayComment -
good luck with your betComment -
I like Azarenka too, I just think Li is a bit of a wildcard because she knows how to win in Slams. Really both WTA favorites I like.Comment -

GL tonight EP. Like the parlay mate. And will be rooting for Chella as well.Comment -
Good call on Sharapova. She is blasting Petkovic off the court. It seems like every match is on Sharapova's racket with her shot-making ability.Comment -
Another good call on being leery of Azarenka. You should have made a play on LiComment -
Masha gets it done, 6-0, 6-3. Dominant. This really looks like her tournament to lose. Let's go Rafa!Comment -
French Open WTA Doubles: Mirza-Vesina [-150]
This duo has been dominant so far and completely destroyed the top seeds in the last round. They face a veteran duo of Huber-Raymond. Mirza & Vesnina have really taken off since they teamed up earlier in the year. They won the title @ Indian Wells & Charleston. In Charleston, they beat Huber-Raymond in straights. They look full of confidence right now & perhaps a team to be reckoned with for the title. Their opponents have a ton of experience, but had not enjoyed a ton of success in 2011 before the French Open.

Yesterday's ATP doubles play loses in a third set tie break. Wish they kept playing like they do in singles with no tie break in the final set. Oh well, at +285 got my money's worth and they certainly had shots to win.
Comment -
11:1 ... I think if I did the math correct. Chela needs to close out the 1st set on his next service game if not breaking Murray now. Don't give Muzza any hope like Troicki did.Comment -
EP I don't know why Mighty mite(king) and Gigantor (shedova) aren't bigger favs in grand slams.They are killing it the last 2 years in doubles.Comment
