Berdych vs Nadal -5 LOSS

Bookies and public are favouring Berdych +5 but a healthy and fit Nadal will be too much for Berdych. Berdych has struggled his way to the quarters, with tough matches against Mayer, Berlocq and Hidalgo where Nadal has breezed through this tournament with easy wins against Nisikori, Lopez and surprisingly an even easier win against the unorthodox but hot dolgopolov.

Predicted Scoreline: Nadal 6-4 6-2

2011 Tennis Season Record: 0 -1 (0%)

HOW DO YOU LIKE IN THE CHARDY & LJubicic match?

[dRavidC]

HOW DO YOU LIKE IN THE CHARDY & LJubicic match?

that's a hard one probably a pass for me. On one hand you have mr inconsistent in chardy and then you have a veteran in ljubicic whose not the best on clay. if i had to pick one, i'd say Chardy which is just a gut feeling. there are better matches to play such as the two atp finals being played.

Will you be posting those atp finals picks ?

Good record, but you have to post units too.

[dRavidC]

Good record, but you have to post units too.

how come? I'm pretty sure people can make their own decisions on how much they want to bet on a game rather than putting in how much I put in. e.g. i don't want people to be putting in 10 units just because i did for a particular game.

[caki]

Units are important. Be quiete!

ATP 17/4

Nadal -5 vs Ferrer (2 UNIT PLAY)

The bookies are strongly favoring this match to be a three setter valuing Ferer +5 @ 1.75 and Over 20 game total at 1.75. Ferrer has been beating everyone in easy straight states and I'm surprised the line is at 5. was expecting 4 at the very least. On form, you'd have to say that Ferrer covers. But I think what favours Nadal here is the match-up. Ferrer really does not have a game that can blow Nadal out of the court. He is more like a "wall" who will keep returning balls no matter where they go but that is just right up Nadal's alley. Nadal is a specialist at playing the long points and he knows Ferrer's game back to front. One might suspect possible fatigue for Nadal after a three-setter against Murray which took almost 3 hours but Nadal is a great athlete and I doubt it will affect his game too much, especially on clay. I don't really like this bet mainly because I think Ferrer deserves this title mainly because he's been playing the better tennis from the two.

I think people asked about putting units, because nobody really knows what your record is like. You could be hitting -1000 winners and have a -500 loss in there, which would skew your record. I'm not saying that you are doing this, but that's why units help instead of overall record. Best of luck.

oh ok fair call. well most of my plays are 1 unit plays since despite how easy a bet could look, it is never an "easy winner." But from time to time i might play more units depending on the match of course.

I think it's too late to track my units since i've started a fair while ago without recording the specific units i placed on a specific match. My spreadsheet just reads how much money I put in and how much I WON/LOSS. but i'll def. put down my unit recommendations for future plays.

well dodig is 6-2 5-2 up so I think he's going to win.

good luck on ur pick
