    Am I going crazy or what?
    Just 24HRS ago I sat and discussed the US Open with minds much smarter than myself, inside our brand spanking new SBR chatroom, and I made the following comments (to the best of my recollection)--

    "I'm not going anywhere near Ivanovic until the French Open, or if she rings my doorbell and wants to consummate our relationship"..


    However upon logging in to check the lines, I notice Ivanovic at +600, now that about knocked the air out of me. So here I am, in a position where I'm actually going to renege on what I said, because I absolutely have to take this price. The only person in her bracket that can even come close to knocking her off is Dinara Safina, who she absolutely belted to win her first slam a few months ago.

    Call me crazy, but this may even provide an excellent hedging opportunity as well, so I'm taking it. In Ana I trust.

      Wozniacki is coming back. She has been like a mini goldmine. However, I have her parlayed with Peng so I need both to win.

        My posted record was last tracked at--

        Tennis
        20-20-2 -(15.68)

        I took a break from daily plays to get ready for the US Open. My record stood since after the French Open all throughout Wimbledon and after, but a pretty rough downswing caused me not to want to wager on tennis until the next slam.

        So here I am!

          Caroline Wozniacki is one of my favorite young players, however I don't know that she's poised to win a slam just yet. What price do you see offered on her?

          I will certainly bet her next years slams but right now I think she has more maturing to do mentally and emotionally, physically she's ready in my eyes.

            I parlayed her at -175 and peng at -165. In her last match I got peng at +110 which was a steal. Kinda funny how chak was ranked #1 in the tourney yet Woz was the -175 fave.

              If Ivanovic is healthy, that +600 is a steal. I do think she has obstacles though. Mauresmo & Petrova on their best days can beat a less than 100% Ana. I do agree Safina is her toughest probable opponent that could keep her from the semis. I think Serena has an easy draw till the quarters. Toughest match could come agains Venus again & I expect Serena will be looking to exact revenge for the Wimbledon loss.

              I'm still finalizing my picks.

                        Saw this a few minutes too late but I wouldn't blindly take a shot against a player like Del Potro.

                            Ivanovic about to go down in flames as a huge favorite once again, -1600 or so. 25 in the third set.

                              -3300 on Bodog.

                              Hoping she comes back and wins cause I missed out on Coin +1000. Want to bet against her next match.
