    It doesn't get any easier than Rafa Nadal tonight

    He's won 30 matches in a row, he just eclipsed Federer as #1 and it'll be official in 16 days, he's in semi finals of Cinci Masters tourney against an opponent he's 9-3 lifetime against, and only a -200 favorite.........

    What more can really be said? You think a guy that finally eclipsed Federer as #1 is going to come out and TANK the night after against a mentally inconsistent guy like Novak Djokokvic? Just compare both of their last matches against Andy Murray for a stronger grip on this one.

    Rafa 6-4 7-5

    Nadal struggled yesterday. Djokovic has been cruising. I think I'll stay away.

    Give some respect to Lapenti, he was coming off tourney of his life having beaten David Ferrer AND Fernando Verdasco, that's a huge huge accomplishment, he was even a +500 dog his first match I forgot who he played as well. And even with how hot and in form he was, he lost in straight sets.

    maybe not this game, but see a lot of guys betting into -600, -800 lines. Even -1100 lines, basically getting back 5 cents on the dollar. So yes, that is like bridge jumping.

    i Understand, but look at my point of view. I can only get +160 on djoker.. laying the -200 is in my best interest

    For the guys betting Djoko, I'd suggest taking him to win 2-1 at +490.

    Djoko may collapse, but unlikely Nadal is going down in straight sets.

    Djoko is the play tonight on hard surface. Nadal is bad on hard courts.

    it might be his worst surface, but 29-6 on the year on hard court isn't bad for rafa...

    Djokovic is 3-2 vs Nadal on hard court, and has won 3 of the last 4. Nadal is miles better on clay, and a lot better on grass, but playing well Djokovic is the better hard courter. On top of that, these are fast hard courts, which further disadvantages Nadal.

    I'll take Djokovic at +200. That's way too high, given he really lifted his game against Gulbis, and Nadal looked quite vulnerable against Lapentti.

    I don't agree with the statement in the thread title, but I like Nadal, it just won't be a piece of cake

    Late money going on Djokovic. Closing pinnies prices put it at 64% Nadal, 36% Djoko. I took Djoko $300 at +200, and $300 at +190.
