got burned on gladiator last night, wtf winning first set and then only one game after that, his legs fell off or something? one play for me today stoppini +386(mb this morning) against delpotro to win one unit. otherwise waiting for qf to do some sets betting.

[EaglesPhan36]

I think that's a waste - but that's me - Del Potro is a quality up & comer and I think beats Stoppini in straights. Delic is my play today. Might talk myself into Donald Young, but that's still iffy. GL!

[Shark79]

Morning boys!

Laying off for the day ... went 2-2 yesterday

Eagles watch out with Stoppini ... this guy played some impressive tennis last game ... ask crazy .. he forgot to play him.

[SBR Lou]

Morning Shark, I would take day off too and check into mental hospital, to make sure I was not hallucinating watching Mardy Fish play like Rafa Nadal last night....

Nice hit buddy

Yeah that's rough, not as bad as wasting money on a James Blake future at the US Open like me though. Saw 80-1 and took it.

I think that was more an indictment of Kunitsyn than praise for Stoppini. It was a nice win, but I've seen some of this kid Del Potro & he is going to be a bigger name in tennis very soon. He may struggle a little early since he hasn't played on hard courts since March I think - but he should take care of Stoppini.

[Shark79]

GL on him Eagles!! will be on ur side!

Morning Bud. Yes ... I was speechless yesterday watching Fish move like the wind on every point. However, this kid can play like Sampras one day or play like me (big sucker) the other day .... so I wouldnt be very sure about him.

for me delic consistency is a suspect, and never play (moya) faves over -200 especially in the smaller tournaments, but g/l! your were right on the money with serra last night, good call there, my dad liked that one also but i talked him out of it.

Del Potro will win a slam one day.

where you guys watching them?

[single shaker]

Del Potro will win a slam one day.

agree with you 100%, kid is 19 and has an amazing potential, i am banking more on the factor that stoppini will be playing his 4th match of the tournament, and delpotro took two weeks off after winning two europian clay tournaments back to back, so he might be rusty from not playing + adjustment factor going from clay to hard courts.

[Shark79]

where you guys watching them?

Im in Costa Rica ... ESPN had it on. I only got to see the last 2 points by Mardy on the 3rd Set though ... but he was pretty impressive ... reading some reviews he seemed to dominate clearly last 2 sets.

[Shark79]

Del Potro will win a slam one day.

He definitely will be in the top 3 soon ... too young ... has so much to give.

I rarely am able to watch early/mid rounds on Tennis Channel HD, I just follow the blazing fast updates of atptennis.com live scores. In the semis and finals ESPN or Tennis Channel HD usually has me covered.

There are growing pains with Tennis Channel HD, such is the case with any new marriage, but ultimately we love each other and appreciate the bond we share. So I am confident, our relationship will improve and one day, I will convince Tennis Channel HD to have round the clock, all tier inclusive matches.

[Tchocky]

Del Potro won 2 clay court titles last month but this is his first hard court match since. I've never seen Stoppini play but he took out Kunitsyn pretty easily judging by the box score. Lot's of upsets in this tourney.

[EaglesPhan36]

We'll see how big DY flops today. I just bought in at +175.

[Shark79]

Eagles - just saw ur sig - nice way of laying it!!

my hot streak is officially over, i wonder if delpotro continues with his good serving that he had during his europian run, if yes he might be a the one to take the title, anybody saw the match? eagles good luck with DY!

Betting dogs blind are ya? I know your strategy...

[EaglesPhan36]

Nah not blind - well Donald Young might play like he is blind 75% of the time .... I just think the price is fair. Gicquel isn't top notch on hard courts. DY isn't top notch, but SHOULD have confidence after beating Haas. Getting broken early, shows that he is still a putz.

Delic is still my main play for the next match. Still think Moya is gonna crash & burn soon. Hoping it's today!

[EaglesPhan36]

Well Young sucked kawk as I should have known losing 6-3, 6-3, but Delic came through with a win in the 3rd set against Moya in a tie break!
