[tevari]

day 1:

medina-garrigues +125
arvidsson -125

[EaglesPhan36]

[tevari]

thank you for that, EP.

adding:

parlay - jankovic -385 & cetkovska -135 [+119]

[shari91]

gl tevari... going to start looking at these soon

[birdmanweezy]

good luck

[EaglesPhan36]

Think I like Cetkovska tonight. Errani is always good to go against on this surface mostly with chicks with pulses.

[TomJSports]

I like Cetkovská too

[VTranX]

ill tale for fun gl

[tevari]

Jankovic ****** me up proper.

[VTranX]

Jankovic ****** me up proper.

me too.

[showtiime]

never trust alien

[tevari]

large card tonight:

dulko +100
arvidsson +6 games -115
zakopalova +140
cetkovska -115

[Pinocchio]

My 42 SBR points say Zakopalova loses.

The other three are okay, 1 and 2 should win, 4 might also.

[EaglesPhan36]

Cetkovska seems oddly priced, no? Much better form on this surface, yet Paszek is being given equal footing because of beating Jankovic? Little sketchy to me. Cetkovska should win I think, but the price has me scratching my balls.

[birdmanweezy]

paszek has been playing ok over the past few tournaments, i do like cetkovska but it will be a close match

[iceminers26]

both dulko and cetkovska lines are fishy enough for me to stay away

no feel on Arvid, Kvitova is going to get it going again but when I have no idea

as for Zako, I like this one but I'm sick of her always falling short and the cap is juiced at my book so don't know if I can pull the trigger....who knows what shape Petrova is in with the layoff and I expect some rust so that's the angle I'm looking at her but just sick of Zako falling just short.

GL tonight bud

is there any existing stream for the China Open? been scouring around and can't find anything boring to scoreboard watch

[moses millsap]

only scoreboard, no stream:

this is so weird, been looking at the ilhan vs lopez match, lopez started out serving first in the first set, and now in the second set he's serving first again -- don't they normally alternate? not that it matters atm but just curious

[birdmanweezy]

ilhan served last in the first set...so lopez gets the next serve aka 1st in 2nd set

[apeterlives]

anyone know what is going on in the ilhan/lopez match says "match suspended"

[birdmanweezy]

its 2-2 in the second set ilhan match

[apeterlives]

know that weezy but look



*** resumed now wonder why they stopped

[birdmanweezy]

its not raining so i do not know

[tevari]

on a pretty bad run here

1-2 on day 1
no plays day 2
1-2 on day 3 so far, with the arvidsson handicap pending

[Gaskan]

Good call. Straight up winner

[tevari]

Didnt have the stones to play her +600 but the handicap will do

[tevari]

day 4:

razzano +180
mchale +135
martinez sanchez +115

parlay: zvonareva, wozniacki, pennetta [+144]

[tevari]

looks like another split day with razzano winning, and the parlay pending wozniacki

[tevari]

day 6:

pavlyuchenkova +180
razzano +115

[iceminers26]

day 6: pavlyuchenkova +180 razzano +115

play Pavy at a book that grades retirements after 1 set completion such as 5dimes if you have that option (don't know others off top of my head but every book different). I'm on her as well tonight and I'm hoping for a Pavy 1st set win and then a possible retirement from Vika.

[tevari]

seems like everyone i bet on this tournament wins the first set, then drops the next 2.
