EP36's Tennis Things I THINK I THINK

[sharlataans]

Karlovic UNDER 22 is +113.

Bedene has lousy backhand, he mostly tries to run to left to play it with forehand. Plenty of time for Karlovic to advance to net and win points the way he likes.

[sharlataans]

Wow Kukushkin cannot handle Berrers power. He plays 3 meters behind baseline and then gets outplayed easily.

yeah pretty pissed i wanted to wake up n pound berrer but just woke up lol. what did the line close at?

[rumple]

Wow Berrer u piece of shit nice collapse.

[EaglesPhan36]

Berrer was lucky to survive. Kukushkin for the 2nd week in a row blows it in the 3rd set. Had a break lead, yacked it up. Berrer choked it back and then Kuku threw it away after getting even again.

[EaglesPhan36]

Bubka covers the +5.5, loses 6-4, 7-6.

[sharlataans]

Davydenko is -175 against Darcis. I think that's a good value, what do you think?

Darcis looked solid against Authom, but Maxime was tired and not too ingenious with his play. I think Davydenko takes this easy.

[EaglesPhan36]

No way in hell I would touch Davydenko. Darcis very capable on this surface and some rumors floating around apparently about a shoulder issue with the Donkey. Might be BS, but I wouldn't pay to find out.

Shoulder problems sound very real, I think that's because he was afraid to serve full force...

[EaglesPhan36]

F-ing Haas. Broken trying to serve out the match.

[blackbeSSt]

i was about to shit my pants if haas gave up 4 match points in the tie break

[beefcake]

Good ole Chardy!!! Back to playing like ASS!!

[evangelizelee]

Haas is complete but it seems like James is struggling.

[BobW]

Blake

[Demonata]

So glad I did not bet on tursunov. Almost did but had a bad feeling about it.

[TennisProFrance]

If blake cuts out 50% of his errors he should walk away with the 3rd (if it gets there).

[evangelizelee]

James should just retire this match

[EaglesPhan36]

Disappointing effort from Blake. Guess he's gassed for the year. Meh.

[tommygun]

fkn blake, you never know what this guy is going to bring when he gets to the court, playing hot for a while, then dismal the next.

[EaglesPhan36]

It happens. The price was inflated but that's why you use those in parlays only, but I'd still take him 9x out of 10 on this surface over GGL. He just didn't have the crisp serve he had in Stockholm. Shouldn't have been surprised I guess since that is one of his favorite tournaments that his level would drop some here.

[beefcake]

Well here are the beefs plays for the AM

Rochus +4.5 +115..Playing same angle as the last time tippy won a tourney, although he has his sights on the top 10 now, so I will lay off rochus +315..tempting though

Pospisil +165..Guy has been trying to break through all dam year and no doubt he has the game to beat Seppi..Though line would be near pick em here..

Bercloq +345 Kolb form last few months does not translate to this big of a fave. Carlos is not just a clay courter..

Rosol/Mann under 22.5...Going with the system of when both players are -juice ..Play under..

Bonus Challenger Play...
Odesnik,, +120...Surprised to see that Wayne actually is a good clay courter..Rare for americans

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah I cannot decide if I want to fade Tipsarevic here or not. Good set-up for it and the right opponent based on past history, but he does have some points to defend here even though I think he'll be more interested in next week. I think the handicap is probably the better way to go especially with plus odds still. I'm doggin' it tomorrow, just looking around for all the right info. Most every favorite I see on the board SHOULD win, but COULD lose without me being shocked at all. I mean I look at the chalk and I have a tough time saying that any of them is going to win easy.

[tommygun]

I wish there was a way to determine if a player will tank on purpose or will give it their all. If you could find that out, betting against short favourites would be a gold mine.

[EaglesPhan36]

Time Machine baby, Time Machine - some day, we'll get it done.

[tevari]

Lolwut?

HAHA like the hot tub time machine?

[EaglesPhan36]

Or a Delorean from Back to the Future.

[tommygun]

Time Machine baby, Time Machine - some day, we'll get it done.

I have the linear transducer, and the flux capicitor, just waiting on a few extra minor parts and we will be there.

[Demonata]

Or a Delorean from Back to the Future.

That could work.

[tommygun]

A recent $1.10 favourite losing comes to mind: Kerber v Schoofs (WTA), wins the first set and then proceeds to lose the next 2.
Odds for Schoofs was $9.50 on Betfair.

Wednesday ...

ATP St.Petersburg
Pospisil +159
Rochus +4.5 [+115]

ATP Vienna
Darcis +185

Following your Rochus pick. Like the rest too!

[sharlataans]

Benneteau +150

I really like his play and attitude at the moment. I hope he serves well and figures out Youzhny.

[sharlataans]

Guys, any thoughts of Mannarino vs. Rosol? Rosol win is more of Gulbis problem that his good play, what do you think? I just had a glimpse on the match cannot comment much.

I somehow want to take Mannarino here.
