Isner has the toughest matchup, but he's been money here the last three years. Maybe Russell serves lights out and upsets Sijsling? Sijsling has been in trouble in a lot of service games this week against two weaklings, and Russell has quietly put together a winning streak.

Hewitt, as always, can be prone to loose play at times. Hernych has had a nice run this grass season, but I think Hewitt will get past him.

As crazy as it sounds, we might have three seeds in the semifinals for a change.

If ya'll have looked at Hernych record the last 4 months or so, he has been on FIRE! He has gone deep in almost every tment he has played. IMO, he will have an EXCELLENT chance to take out Hewitt with his current form. Isner serves well, he gets through IMO. He has the huge crowd support & he can get SO many free points all over the place. Sijsling I actually liked to make the finals here before the tment started. He has a big work ethic & wants to win big time. I can't see Russell serving big, bec he doesn't serve big. I have seen Michael play live many times, my serve is just as good & mine is not a huge serve. He can hold serve, but my gut tells me that TODAY is the day Sijsling prob serves lights out. I really think he will win this match & move into the semis. But I do think also that one more seed goes down, interesting to see maybe which one

I would say I agree but Hernych sucked Sock's balls while socking it to him yesterday.

Thoughts on Mahut match today?

I've had a great day, so I'm taking the under for a few bucks ... Just a hunch Mahut will want to get through this match quickly and not have to cancel his dinner plans. Pure degenerate-style action.

Hardcoar · 07-11-13, 04:53 PM

If there is any other style of betting I don't wan't to know!

Oh crap I took this too, this was my thought process exactly. Two degenerate players together don't usually end up well

Damn, Mahut had a chance to break him early...I don't think he'll be able to three times in order to get this under

beefcake · 07-11-13, 05:14 PM

Russell is the man!

Our lives are ruined

Think the upsets are done this round with Russell pulling off that miracle. Dr.Ivo had a couple nice wins, but he didn't serve consistent against Pospisil. With Isner popping his serve right now, that's not good for Ivo. Hewitt might have a little trouble with Hernych, but I think he'll come through. So we have our Wildcard up top still against an unseeded player and then two seeds on bottom if Isner/Hewitt hold on Friday.

Grass played very slow today... Not sure if that hurts Isner or karlovic more...

hewitt seems to choke alot, when hes playing with confidence its great tennis from him but when someone comes out firing and hes struggles hes basically down and out, i dont know hernych but im willing to get on the bandwagon here.

Here we go again gents. Last few years favs have had the upper hand.But its a new year..usual lineups from past years.

EaglesPhan36 · 07-05-14, 10:12 PM

I knew you'd be on top of this. Much rather play Newport than the clay bullshit the next couple of weeks. Newport and then let's get those US Hard Courts pumping .. and Colombia
