i like fish a lot but if he plays at all like he did against wawrinka tips could take it... fish lifetime has had an edge over tips but it's been close usually, think i am playing fish small for fun

Depends which versions of the respective players show up. I'm much more apt to like Fish at less than 100% than Tipsarevic at anything but his best. However, Tipsarevic has served so well the last two rounds that I think he does rate a chance. Their past matches don't yield much IMO. Three different surfaces, one being at a Slam where motivation and concentration are always different. Last one in Oct. 2010 is probably the only one that would yield a littlle help and that was Fish in straights with a tight tie break in the 2nd set. Really all depends on serve to me. If serving is about equal, I'd trust Fish more in a tight situation.

Actually this is going to be my largest play of the year on a tennis match. Fish at this price is a very good line IMO, tippy has a HORRIBLE record vs top ten players in his career. He always seems to tank in these situations. I would give a slight edge to fish in serve, huge edge in net play and, basically a better player overall in almost every aspect. Yeah its a cause for concern the way Mardy played yesterday and the way tippy beat shit-bird. But fish just detroyed Wawa in the 3rd and that gives me confidence. Both of these playerss realize that this is a chance to pick up 500 ATP points and both will be motivated unlike any time in their career, but give me the best player at less than -150..?? !!! I picked Fish in the contest to win it and I'm not backing down at least for another round!!

Price has been pretty steady from -150 to -155 from what I have seen. Seems like you take who you like here, nothing "fishy" about the slight line movements. Unfortunately it looks like whomever wins is likely to be the lamb to Novak's slaughter. I rate Tsonga the best shot to KO him at this point. If he doesn't, don't think Fish or Tipsarevic will.
When was that yesterday? It's -145 right now. I haven't seen Fish higher than -160.

I saw it on reduced on tennis at 5 dimes.Now it's down to -150. I'm pretty sure I saw it at -160 something when I was browsing through.Sure stopped fast though.

Man it keeps dropping. I use the europe format most of the time myself. Easier for me to understand. Good time to bet on fish now.

i don't think he beats joker in the final though (if joker wins tonight which is likely)
