Whenever mother nature allows them too..Comment -
Thanks for f-ing my under Rafa, but you are always the King of Clay. Again like Shari said, how do you not like this guy? Great crowd celebration. Vamos!Comment -
Cause he always picks his ass and takes :45 s between points, when most players take :30
He just gives a bad vibe, and especially when he is federer/ djokovic's rival ; whom we all like much more.
Its just sad that federer was never able to beat nadalComment -
If you hate Nadal for time between points then u must hate Djokovic for his 15 second ball bounce routine when he serves.Comment -
Nope at least he bounces the ball not pick his ass 3x during thenComment -
Doo Doo playing just as expected.I have never seen someone so shitty in every facet of his game but his serve..Comment -

Over was an easy cash. Was thinking of parlaying Youhz ML with Kohl ML, which would've worked, but I went with the over instead after you mentioned the speed of the courts in Halle. Kind of forgot how crazy powerful his serve looked on the grass in that match with Florian Mayer.
Good stuff.Comment -
Looks like Queens Club may be able to finally get some action in tomorrow at some point. They adjusted the schedule to start some matches earlier, but the funny thing is the rain looks like it sticks around until the early PM - so no point.Comment -
Haaaaate having $ tied up.Comment -
anyone know whats going on with the Bemelmans match?
On the order of play for tomorrow, and the draw.... It says Jaziri is playing Mayer, not Bemelmans? But Pinnacle and Heritage both have Bemelmans still playing...Comment -
In no particular order:
Stepanek is a live dog at +130 over Seppi. Stepanek is 3-0 lifetime. I know Seppi had a nice run in the French but seems overvalued.
Granollers -108 over Zverev This line seems real fishy is Granollers playing hurt?
Becker +100 over TroickiComment -
Florian Mayer is German, but he won the challenger tournament last week. Is this a good spot to fade him, or is Smyczek in way over his head here?Comment -
I won money on Mayer last week in the finals of that although he struggled against Hacek. Hacek although also took straight sets against Stepanek for that matter in the same tournament. I think it's a lot of juice on Mayer here but I can't see him losing to a qualifier in Smyczek. I can't find any record of Smyczek ever even playing on grass before the qualifying matches.Comment -
EP, please talk me out of taking Oudin tomorrow.Comment -
hewitt and boleli will be knock off tomorowComment -
P much. Im staying away. Just needed some extra incentive and common sense.Comment -
Smyczek apparently was 1-3 in challenger and qualification matches on grass courts in 2010 and 2011. Didn't play any in 08 or 09. Don't know about the time before that.
He's played on this stuff before, but not in an ATP first round. It's just that Mayer isn't favored by much despite playing in his home country, and he may be fatigued from last week. He's had some questionable losses in the past, so I would not be that shocked to see him mail it in ... But the tournament is in Germany, and he may feel an obligation to give his best effort despite the wear and tear.
Wimbledon is right around the corner, so this is the two weeks of the year when the motivation factor confuses me most. Who is just looking ahead to the next grand slam, and who is trying to earn/defend points or qualify for something down the line?Comment -
Im going the way of fading all of the challenger finalists from last week..
So in order..De La Nava +170
Van Der Merwe -170
Troicki -110Comment -
You think Cipolla has any chance? Stakhovsky just lost that challenger final and with it his hopes for olympics, quick change to grass, and Cipolla has that dirty slice that could be effective on grass. The negatives though are Stakhovsky is definitely rolling right now, he can definitely neutralize the slice by attacking the net, and Stak has a much better resume on grass.Comment -
Smyczek does look really good, Mayer really pushed himself from what I saw in the 3rd set of that final last week. I'm not sure how the german olympic qualifying works, I think he should be in but i've heard that he's not in yet and needs a deep run at Wimbledon to get in? So i'm confused about that and just what he needs to do to get into olympicsSmyczek apparently was 1-3 in challenger and qualification matches on grass courts in 2010 and 2011. Didn't play any in 08 or 09. Don't know about the time before that.

Yeah I am looking into Tomic, seems a very solid playComment -
I'd feel dirty winning money on Tomic. Fading only where appropriate..Comment -
EP, can you give some thoughts about anderson/ward?Comment -
I took a shot at Ward. Almost the exact same set up for him as last year. The cooler and damp conditions may take a little zip off the surfaced which can only help against Anderson's serve. Just giving Ward a puncher's chance since he has some grass match play under his belt from last week.Comment -
aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnd moo moo oudin wins. derp.Comment -
i see that we both got becker at the tasty price of -110... money pouring in on him supposedly, juiced up to -155 now.Comment
