Ranking's deceiving that's why I don't normally pay attention to it.

The only reason Dellacqua is ranked so low is because she missed almost a year due to injury and couldn't earn any points towards her ranking. She's been doing decently on clay since she's returned.

Thing about the WTA is the match isn't over until it's literally over. I saw Peer was down 4-2 in the second set after losing the first set 6-1. I check back and she has 3 set points now. I would absolutely hate to be on the losing end of a situation like that.

0-40 for set and Peer cant get it done. Good point with the injury Shari, I should of researched a little better.

Is getting crushed by #429 ranked Casey Dellacqua. Why did I throw here in a bunch of parlays?

Same reason I did. Laying 6 games ... WTF was I thinking? Ruined a nice 20-1 parlay too.

Stay away from big favs on a week before Grand Slam. Thats one thing i learned about tennis betting long time ago. Learned it the hard way too. Very weird sh1t happens in those weeks...

It's hard though because there are so many matches going on that it's easy to miss things - especially about a player that's not that well-known. Dellacqua I know quite well because she's one of the few Aussie women on the Tour and made a surprise run at the Aussie Open a couple of years ago. She went from buying her match outfits at Target to finally getting sponsors.

Plus I've backed her a few times since she's returned as she's going to continue to be a big dog until anyone gets confidence that she's overcome her injury for good. That being said, this isn't a match that Peer would be expected to lose so I see how she sucked people in.

She lost my parlay for me yesterday as well. I'm staying from that bitch for a while. She's not doing good on clay right now.
