    Ljubicic vs. Stepanek...thoughts
    Ljubicic had a great run at Roland Garros, but Radek is definitely the better grass court player, Im just thinking that if Ljubie's serve is on point he should cruise bc of the fast Queens courts. Step is way better at the net though. Hmmmmmm....

    I have Ljubicic on my ticket. It will be very hard match but I focused on the serve and current form.

      Run away. Far away. If you can find a reason to trust Stepanek on any surface at this stage of his career, let me know what it is. Back in the day when this putz was relevant, no doubt, Stepanek any day on grass but that's a good five years ago. Now, any given day the guy can lose. I slightly favored Ljubicic because of his serve and Queen's Club seems to be playing fast ... however with the rain who knows. That's why I rate it a good one to pass on. If anything, I thought about the under because it was at 24 I think ... so the books pretty much think this is a guaranteed three setter with that number. I think one of these guys could easily win in straights in 22 or less.

        Stepanek for me in a three setter. Yes, his form isn't the best but his grass success over the years will carry him though. I think the books made him a favorite for a reason, I'm going to trust their opinion and hopefully it's not a trap.

          VI, Stepanek was actually the dog to open. Money has all gone to him and shifted him to being the favorite. Of course in tennis, 9 times out of 10 line movement means shit all.

            I think it actually does mean something here. I think Ljubicic wins this one in straights, I dont know if im going to pull the trigger though. Tennis betting is so f***ed.

              Ljubicic's big serve vs Stepanek's net game. Don't forget that Stepanek has pretty nice slice backhand, I think any longer rallies will be in Stepanek's favor...

                  Tried to warn you guys about trusting Stepanek here. Another example of line movement gone wrong at this point. Bageled!

                        What a pair of yutzes. Ljubicic easily could have closed this out. Even with a break to Stepanek at 6-5, why does it feel like it's going to a tie break? Glad I stayed far away from this one.

                              I think my Ivan (-1.5) wager is the coolest thing to hit since Coors Light.

                                Holy Shit. That is insane. Did not even think about that. I wonder how often that has happened. Has to be like 1 in 100,000.

                                      Not if he drops the opener 0-6, no he doesn't.
