Stacocakes US Open thread

His Twitter doesn't give away much, but it does say when the draws came out "Doesn't mean I'll play, but I'll be in it." I would guess he's hoping he can simply out-serve his opponent at less than 100%. Of course that's all he tried to do again this summer. I think the HEAT is going to be a big issue for Isner if Gil stick in this match.

How about Isner? Anyone know much about his injury and recovery?

yeah its not known whether he has recovered but I would think not. He said he didn't even intend on playing in the Open, but just decided to give it a shot anyway. I'm thinking about taking a shot with Gil (first set) but not sure yet. I have a feeling Isner will retire.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 03:28 PM

Isner should be able to win today but getting far in this tournament, doubtful

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 03:40 PM

Thinking about taking a shot with Gil. It just sounds like Isner won't be able to move much

EaglesPhan36 · 09-01-10, 03:42 PM

If you have a book that takes first ball action, I think Gil is maybe worth a dartboard shot. If Isner is hobbled, he won't make it a full set I don't think.

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 03:54 PM

Azarenka collapsed on the court and was taken off in a wheelchair and has been hospitalized.

Just have 5Dimes which of course requires 1 full set. Worth a shot. Maybe he will quit after 1 set

EaglesPhan36 · 09-01-10, 03:58 PM

It's not a bad risk IMO. I said it in another thread, there is a realistic chance Isner could be leading this match and have to retire and you win on that Gil bet.

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 04:23 PM

I also took a shot with Bondarenko. Was up 2-0 and let Oudin come back. Bond just came up with another break tho.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-01-10, 04:26 PM

Bondarenko will win. It may not be pretty, but Oudin has been horrible all year. I think it's gonna be a typical WTA break fest.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 04:29 PM

Isners movement has never been good. He will just rely on his serves as always. At that price though, Gil is definately worth a shot though but its probably better to stay away from the match all together

Monfils playing well so far. Seems like many of you guys are on him

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 04:34 PM

Oudin's play looks to be just about as good as Donald Young's. If both were from canada or somewhere overseas there would never be one word mentioned about either player. Glad I stayed away from Oudin today.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 04:41 PM

Youzhny is getting the sign right now from someone in the crowd to slow down a bit. Will probably lose the third set. Youzhny never wins in three sets

Chiudinelli is up 5-0 over Sock. If Chiudinelli is up 5-0 over you, you should think about another sport.

who is on monfils? Everyone has been talking about fading him.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 04:51 PM

Goat you are on monfils, Rogue, betfair forums. I think for most it's a play against Andreev more then anything.

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 04:51 PM

Jack sock is a 17 year old high school kid from the juiors.

Goat Milk · 09-01-10, 04:54 PM

Youzny not slowing down

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 04:57 PM

Anyone fading stosur tonight? She didn't look good at all in that first round match. Tough to say how she will come out today

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 05:34 PM

Oudin done.Glad I stayed away

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 05:40 PM

Sock just broke Chiudinelli. Watch Marcos lose

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 05:47 PM

Isner about to start.Will see here how he is doing

The fact he is talking about his ankle right now in this little montage thing is not a good sign

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 05:49 PM

Gil trying to look like Fernando gonzalez out there

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 06:01 PM

Isner not moving that great out there. This might screw my parlay

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 06:41 PM

Gil isn't moving him around enough. Do some drop shots and stuff to make Isner move.

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 06:44 PM

I wouldn't have taken a stab at Gil had I known that he is mentally retarded.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 07:01 PM

Gil crying about something

Chair ump looks like shaft

EaglesPhan36 · 09-01-10, 07:17 PM

He might be able to go another round after this, Chiudinelli isn't experienced enough to probably take advantage either.

JNic · 09-01-10, 07:21 PM

yea chiudinelli couldn't pull a win out at french open vs isner. he just doesn't seem mentally stable enough to take tiebreakers from isner, someone like youzhny will stop him though

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 07:51 PM

Isner wins and parlay cashes

Almost makes up for the crap yesterday

acestreet · 09-01-10, 07:58 PM

Nice work there.Keep it up

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 09:08 PM

I don't like the way Roddick is playing. He's not moving. Just stands there and watches the ball go by.

MUHerd37 · 09-01-10, 09:19 PM

Tipsarevic breaks to even it up at 1 set all. This feels like tipsarevic's match to lose now. Roddick is dead on his feet and tip is hitting winners all over the place. I really need roddick to have a good day. I will never bet roddick again. Looks like he doesn't even care out there.

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 10:30 PM

Wow Roddick down two sets to 1. Hopefully no one here has him.I've got his outright

hawley · 09-01-10, 10:59 PM

now roddick faces a match point

Stacocakes · 09-01-10, 11:00 PM

Roddick eliminated and so is my outright. can't believe it. Guess its better to lose that then to lose a straight bet at -600 or whatever he was

Congrats to anyone that took Tipsarevic.Great pick
