Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 04:52 AM

third time's the charm...

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 04:56 AM

He can't save these forever.**** sakes

MUHerd37 · 01-26-11, 04:57 AM

Rafa's groundstrokes don't seem to have a lot on them. Also, he isn't moving Ferrer around a while lot. Ferrer is controlling the points.

lasker · 01-26-11, 04:57 AM

brilliant

Ferrer always fights like a wounded lion.

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 04:57 AM

**** sakes Rafa

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 04:58 AM

Retire Nadal retireee..

lasker · 01-26-11, 05:03 AM

Nadal is not the type to retire unless it's physically impossible for him to continue.

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 05:07 AM

MUHerd37 · 01-26-11, 05:29 AM

Nadal has no enthusiasm whatsoever

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 05:30 AM

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 05:32 AM

**** thats it. I give up

MUHerd37 · 01-26-11, 05:34 AM

Yeah not looking good. He loses and I have a bad day. He wins and I have winning day. Looks like a bad day.

friscogiants · 01-26-11, 05:36 AM

At 5dimes, I have "Tennis 114 Not R.Nadal In 3 Sets +125* vs R.Nadal Wins 3-0 " If Rafa retires, do I win it or does it only win if 3 sets are won/loss?

Thanks,

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 05:39 AM

Need to check the rules because they differ for most books but set bets usually need the whole match to be completed or else they are void.

chimp · 01-26-11, 05:39 AM

it's over

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 05:43 AM

Nice hit Ferrer backers. This hurt.Done for the night

MUHerd37 · 01-26-11, 05:43 AM

I'm not sure that the ending would have been any different even if Rafa was 100%. Ferrer is on fire

agreed. If Rafa was 100% this match may well have been a 5-set classic, but I have no idea who would have won.

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 04:02 PM

Henin retires again from tennis. Geez

Stacocakes · 01-26-11, 06:11 PM

Plays for Wednesday:

Federer -205

Clijsters -139

Would also consider Wozniacki as an underdog but I already have her as an outright so I am just going to let that ride at this point. Surprised by the low line on Clijsters. They played eachother 4 times last year and Clijsters was around -200 to -250 in the matches but Vera won 3 of the 4 matches

Guess that explains the -139 line for Clijsters haha. Going to go with the better player here and hope for a Zvonareva choke come crunch time. Federer is 13-6 vs Djokovic in their careers and has won four of the last 5 matches. Federer can smell the title here since Rafa got knocked out so you have to think that he is going to be on a mission to get this Aussie Open title.

Best of luck tonight guys
