I wasn't watching just checked the final boxscore, so he retired on a match point? Ouch! No heart, unless he actually really hurt himself which is a possibility I guess though unlikely.

Instead of retiring they should literally concede the point in that situation, that's messed up.

I put alot on Wozniacki during the tie break at evens, which she won. Cobulskova then retired so Betfair paid out

Next up, might take Fogini, currently up a set and on serve at -130

Retire on matchpoint up 5-0???? The mob legbreakers must've shown up in the audience and gave him the nod

**bettilimbroke999** · 08-18-08, 12:57 PM

My bad Spadea retired to avoid the humiliation I reread the post, thought Darcis retired for a second

**woodg8** · 08-18-08, 12:57 PM

Things like the Darcis game is why I usually stay away from Tennis betting, 2 retirements already today, doubt I'll bet Tennis again

**SBR Lou** · 08-18-08, 01:15 PM

A lot of players with no heart do things like this because they don't want to deal with getting beaten in a Tier II event in the 1st round.

**woodg8** · 08-18-08, 01:19 PM

Yeah, but at 5-0 and match point? That sort of thing doesn't happen in any other sport, tennis betting is too risky for me to carry on

Saving for US Open

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-18-08, 01:32 PM

Sela + Bogomolov are the two dogs I like 2day. One should win at least. Probably both since I'm not actually betting them.

John Isner (USA) serving for match over Igor Kunitsyn (RUS), 64, 54.

**SBR Lou** · 08-18-08, 02:04 PM

Big serving American John Isner wraps it up in straight sets over Igor Kunitsyn, 64 64.

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-18-08, 02:05 PM

When Isner plays guys who can't return, he wins eh?

**SBR Lou** · 08-18-08, 02:24 PM

Robby Ginepri (USA) gets broken in his opening service game by Luis Horna (PER). Ginepri trails 2-0 in the 1st.

**Shark79** · 08-18-08, 03:39 PM

We should see a comeback from Ginepri.

This content requires the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 or later. Get FlashStupid Bookmaker had Sela-Verdasco listed for today. Heh. I still hold Sela is a good price at +200. Isner-Karlovic ... Two 7-6 matches maybe eh? Slugfest extreme.
