**RoryMacdonald** · 05-03-12, 08:46 AM

Thanks I saw the line move so I asked. Tie breaker coming up !!

**rumple** · 05-03-12, 09:09 AM

Bernard is cooked.

**Hurley1085** · 05-03-12, 09:15 AM

Tomic needs to tighten up!

**jagaf22** · 05-03-12, 09:18 AM

Pretty interesting match

**Hurley1085** · 05-03-12, 09:39 AM

first match 20 mins...total time 2h 4m, crazy! Thought the 30yr old would be tired on those legs

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-03-12, 10:33 AM

Typical Tomic and/or Starace match really. These are the sort of matches where you can absolutely fix without much of anyone noticing. Starace gets crushed in the 1st set. Live price then probably goes all over the place during the 2nd set and then an early break in the 3rd ... curious how much action this match may have gotten.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-03-12, 10:55 AM

I just got in from another lesson EP. I saw that Tomic won in 3 sets!!! SWEET!!! And the Ramos play was solid as well!! I told u I liked that one bigtime. I put him in almost all of my plays today

Looks like Phau has given up in the second, prob gonna be 6-0 for Ramos. I saw Bjorn play in Houston, I was impressed! He hits the ball really freaking hard! A lot harder than I would of thought. But I have noticed against the good players, he almost always seems to crumble hard!! Gearing up to be a really good day for me bec Hajek won as well. I threw him in two late plays at the last second & I saw he didn't win easy at all (didn't see that coming). Hope you had a good day EP. I still need to go check the Zopp play also.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-03-12, 10:56 AM

Another thing I have noticed EP. That when you and I like the same play, it hits quite often! Just something I am keeping in the back of my brain

**Dmoneytx** · 05-03-12, 11:00 AM

Zopp won!!! Looked fairly easily too, 6-4 6-2. Thanks EP!!! I wouldn't have looked closer at that one if I didn't see that you liked it. I tailed you on that one bigtime bec when I looked up the match stats it really was in favor of Zopp. Keeping my day rolling strong!! You da man EP

**Dmoneytx** · 05-03-12, 01:34 PM

HUGE day today for me EP! Thanks for the help brotha. Appreciate it bigtime, as always. Beers on me sir

Always good when we all win on a play. Sousa wins by retirement so a solid day since the turd that was Tuesday.

Couldn"t agree more! He gives great insight as well.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-03-12, 10:20 PM

Friday is going to be legendary. Going to see The Avengers in IMAX 3D @ 10am. Hopefully the days starts with some solid tennis winners.

Friday, May 4th

ATP Parlay: Lopez (Munich) + Rufin (Ostrava Challenger) [+130]

ATP Belgrade: Rosol +165

WTA Estoril: Kanepi -140

**gaebiskon** · 05-04-12, 01:06 AM

any thoughts on cilic vs yoo-zoo-ny, ep36?
odds on cilic is shortening and yoo-zoo-ny leads h2h 5-2
this is 3 set written all over in my opinion

**Optional** · 05-04-12, 02:26 AM

How strong are you on Lopez over Tomic EP?

I want to take FL too, but was worried my fade Tomic bias might be affecting my judgement.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-04-12, 05:19 AM

I think Tomic is still very inexperienced on this surface. Showed again yesterday against Starace. Was not overly impressed with that win because he made it pretty difficult when he could have taken care of business in straights. Did not play well in the tie break. Playing someone with a power serve like Lopez, a tie break is possible again. I think Lopez is underrated as a clay court guy because generally people think of him only as a power guy who excels when conditions are fast. Tomic can win because Lopez isn't always consistent, but if he serves like yesterday against Stakhovsky - he'll make Tomic play his absolute A game to beat him.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-04-12, 06:03 AM

Kanepi

**Pride** · 05-04-12, 06:04 AM

this thing with lopez is that he hits the ball at such a fast pace and tomic has horrific footwork on clay. tomic has a strange stroke where he likes to be flat footed and that might have worked against potato but he should not have time to get setup against the style lopez will be looking to enforce.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-04-12, 08:02 AM

Good write up on Lopez/Tomic match today EP. I was leaning toward FL actually, just didn't see Tomic making a deep run here. I also see a tiebreaker here, it will be a tight match to say the least. But the footwork of Tomic is a concern I think. FL will attack & I agree bigtime, if FL has his serve rolling today, Tomic will not get alot of break chances & he himself will have to hold serve almost every time. Just thinking if I should go straight or parlay him & how much. Thanks for the tip EP!!!

Oh, good call on Kanepi

I still won't play the women brotha! You have bigger balls than I do sir. GL on the next few plays coming up.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-04-12, 08:05 AM

And I do like Rufin today again. But BOTH of those players have been winning me money all week, so I stayed away from it. Lojda could put up a good fight for Rufin. The price was a little high for me, so I just left it alone. I wish you luck on that play!! I did like the Lopez pick though, should be a good match!

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-04-12, 08:08 AM

I pick my spots with the b-yatches. You can see the majority of my plays are on the men's side. Only way I see Tomic winning is if Lopez has a terrible day serving - which is always possible. I just think Tomic lacks consistency overall. He can get away with that I think on the quicker surfaces I think where serve can get you through on shitty days, but clay - serve is not as big a weapon obviously.

Haven't seen anyone set a price, but Nieminen has to go out against today against Paire. Even if he hadn't played a little this morning, I'd like Paire as a dog. According to TI, looks like he is listed at +110 or so the odds suggest if any book is hanging it.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-04-12, 08:53 AM

Agree with your response to the Lopez match completely. Also, I don't have a line of Jarko, but I would consider fading him as well maybe. I don't play alot of dogs, but Paire can be really really tough if he serves well to say the least.

**juventusfc** · 05-04-12, 09:43 AM

Any thoughts on the Seppi Vs Muller game boys? I was thinking over 21.5 games was a good bet, muller has been playing quite well of late, i just hope his weapon serve takes the games to tie breakers...

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-04-12, 03:17 PM

Well another decent day if Rufin can cash in tomorrow to finish that parlay. Paire wound up winning against Nieminen. At least my thought process was right even if I couldn't bet it.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-04-12, 10:28 PM

Saturday, Cinco de Mayo

Parlay: Errani (Budapest) + Nalbandian (Belgrade) [-115]

ATP Munich: Haas +120

**RoryMacdonald** · 05-04-12, 11:30 PM

Excellent call on Niemenen EP, Paire was too much for him in the third even with all of those unforced errors.

I like both the Germans to advance to the finals but Im think the Flopez Kohlschreiber match lasts 3 sets. BOL

**beefcake** · 05-05-12, 05:48 AM

Surprised you were not on Zopp today.Big things coming from him I think.

**Pride** · 05-05-12, 07:28 AM

stay away from the damn women ep

they are garbage

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-05-12, 11:26 AM

I haven't seen enough of him against more experienced players yet. Chardy while not the most trustworthy mook, is good at picking apart the Challenger ranks for these cheap wins and he did it again today. Haas got rolled over.

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-05-12, 03:05 PM

Nice fail Nalbandian. I think Fat Dave is tinkering on my no fly list. Guy blows a 4-2 lead in the 3rd. Just seems like I have picked every match with him where he turns from Fit Dave to Fat Dave.

**Hurley1085** · 05-05-12, 03:10 PM

Terrible 3rd set....like you said just blew it throwin me into the negatives today

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-05-12, 03:38 PM

I just don't feel comfortable at all with Nalbandian any time it goes more than two sets now. Always feel like he is going to run out of gas now. As soon as he got broken in the 2nd, knew that set was done and was weary of the 3rd ... still guy who has his ability has to close that shit out against someone like Seppi.

**Dmoneytx** · 05-05-12, 04:23 PM

Agreed!!! Fat fck dave!

**EaglesPhan36** · 05-05-12, 11:36 PM

One try on Sunday.

ATP Belgrade: Paire +175
Indeed it is his first ATP level final, but Seppi at -200? Too much respect from the bookies in my opinion. Seppi is a solid player, but Paire has beat some comparable type players this week and shouldn't feel like he has no chance.
