This is another stupid, wildly dumb idea. But JIC is +540 against a guy with a partially torn tendon in his ankle in Andy Murray. A guy in Murray who was DEAD in the water today had it not been for the admitted nerves of Victor Troicki. It was AMAZING what Murray did in that match. EPIC. Never will be forgotten. But Murray has admitted as much that the ankle could "go" on home at any time. So we're talking about a guy getting a -775 favorites tag and playing on an ankle that could conceivable snap with one wrong slide on the red clay in Paris.
Yes, the head-2-head suggests Murray is world class and El Torino is ass. Chela has only one set off Murray in their last three meetings, two of which came @ Roland Garros in 2010 and 2009. Sure, Chela will be dealing with some fatigue after a nearly four hour match, but he's also had more rest than Murray. And sure maybe the only shot in this match is for Murray's ankle to snap, but at +540 that is a bet I am willing to take.
Chela needs a Troicki-esque start to this match in that he needs to have Murray moving all over the court. Test the ankle and get an early lead. Let Murray know he's going to have to play at least four sets. Make it a mental game. Murray is mentally strong to a point. We've seen him crack on the biggest of stages and stage massive rallies as well.
El Torino is the name some of his contemporaries have thrown onto Juan Ignacio Chela. It means OLD CAR and that's what JIC is, an aging veteran with one chance for glory against a possibly hobbled Top 4 player in the world. Putting money on an old jalopy to make a Grand Slam Semifinal? INSANE!
This is stupid. I am stupid. You are stupid for following me, but I'm doing it anyway.
