EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

[EaglesPhan36]

McHale finally closes it out in the 3rd. Should have won easy in two, but made life hard.

At least she won. So how do you feel about Andy?

[EaglesPhan36]

Avoided that. Neither has any form. Would not pay that much for Roddick given his time off, but don't really think Kohlschreiber is up to winning on this surface either.

[apeterlives]

andy's serve is nasty right now but he's had a ton of mishits/trouble breaking kohl when given the opportunity -- think in later rounds andy will be good fade material but he should win tonight has the first set

[EaglesPhan36]

And that's why you don't overpay for Roddick after all that time off. Books have really been laying some stupid prices of late - again not that I would have taken Kohlschreiber, but to give Roddick over -200 and he hadn't played a lick of outdoor hardcourt ball since March? Just flat out asking to get beat by value hunters.

I just want to know your reasoning for picking cilic over Tsonga? Thanks

[sharlataans]

Parlay: Youzhny + Simon [+138]

Really like like this pick EP. Will be following

I just want to know your reasoning for picking cilic over Tsonga? Thanks

EP thinks Tsonga is injured I believe

[Demonata]

EP thinks Tsonga is injured I believe

I forgot that he retired against Djokovich. Wonder how he is or how bad the injury was?

[EaglesPhan36]

Injury + fatigue for Tsonga. He is one of those guys who I think could use the extra rest for the US Open. I planned on going against him until he loses this week.

I agree. But I could use better odds to fade him more than once.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well I think the books are keen to this angle here to open in Cincy. Otherwise based on Tsonga's play recently, he would have been a much bigger favorite I think.

[apeterlives]

hey eagles any opinion on isner stephanek? isner line moved down from yesterday

*
line moved down again people are taking stephanek

[Tsonga]

not a bad idea to fade Tsonga here...would like him to win but there is no real reason to back him here.

[Demonata]

not a bad idea to fade Tsonga here...would like him to win but there is no real reason to back him here.

Except for him being a good player and the odds paying well... You could say that about any player wanting to get rest for the us open so I'm going with Tsonga winning today I think.

[EaglesPhan36]

Isner from what I have read is a little banged up and/or maybe fatigued. Think that showed against Troicki last tournament where his serve did not have much pop. I think that's why the line is lower. Stepanek though is one of those guys that I'd rather wait on to see how he does for a round or two before trusting him because he's just as likely to flop as he is to win. And if Isner is better rested, his serve can blow Steps off the court.

Adding ...

ATP: Davydenko-Stakhovsky Under 22 [-120]
Wouldn't trust either with my money on a side, but I think either by Donkey tank or Stakhovsky continuing to struggle with good returners that this one could be over in straights.

Think Almagro will win today? Playing the shrimp? hahahaaha

[legendmatt34]

Almagro has lost to Monty 2x already..

[Demonata]

good players lose to good players. It's not always guaranteed. Just Almagro has been playing great.

[EaglesPhan36]

Watch out on my next pick, looks like the cold streak has arrived!

[Demonata]

you won this one though.Davydenko-Stakhovsky Under 22 [-120]

[showtiime]

berdych / monaco match was supposed to start nearly 2 hours ago, any idea on why it's getting pushed back so much? don't think it's because theres a previous match going away either?

[Allure]

Got lucky with Simon. Melzer played just like you'd expect from an Austrian fa\*\*ot.

[EaglesPhan36]

Barely on that one. Thought Donkey-denko was going to blow the tie break. Just usually when I lose a few in a row, the cold snap sees me lose a bunch. Same goes for when I am winning. Streaky streaky.

[apeterlives]

i'm on fed tonight i think he wants to take it to jdp after that 09 open loss, been having a great day taking a chance - any thoughts on jdp's chances of winning?

[EaglesPhan36]

This is one of Federer's favorite stomping grounds. I think a loss tonight would be a huge detriment to him doing much at the US Open. JMDP coming off the illness last week might not quite be back to 100%, but I think he'll make Fed earn this for sure ... so here's my "cooler" pick which probably loses since I am ICE ICE baby ...

Federer-Del Potro Over 22.5 [-120]

[apeterlives]

damn they took fed off the board before i could pull the trigger well watching for fun now bol with the over

*nvm it's back now game on

also tomorrow i really like fish against davydenko at 1.47

[EaglesPhan36]

Where'd it go off the board at? I see it even at SBR right now.

[EaglesPhan36]

The ICEman hath arrived. You might fade me well tomorrow for massive profit.

Sorry to hear about your slump man. Can't win them all though.

Wednesday's Probable Losers
Karlovic +148
Pennetta +130
Verdasco-Llodra Over 22 [-120]

[erkanua]

I don't like that over bet. Llodra is a good server but has nothing else. If his serve won't be good enough, he may lose a set by 6-2..

[sharlataans]

Wednesday's Probable Losers
Karlovic +148
Pennetta +130
Verdasco-Llodra Over 22 [-120]

All picks look good to me especially Pennetta! I hope this is super hot day for you!

[EaglesPhan36]

Check that. Verdasco-Llodra is Over 22.5. Still trying it.
