Olivetti today?

[beefcake]

Hmm, looking back when he made his run at Lyon look at who he beat and played well against.

Q1	Martin Vaisse (FRA)	N/A	W 6-1, 6-4	Stats
Q2	Josselin Ouanna (FRA)	463	W 6-3, 7-6(7)	Stats
Q3	Romain Jouan (FRA)	225	W 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(8)	Stats
R32	Matthias Bachinger (GER)	92	W 6-4, 6-3	Stats
R16	Mardy Fish (USA)	8	W 6-3, 3-6, 6-3	Stats
Q	Michael Llodra (FRA)	50	L 6-7(5), 5-7

To beat Mardy and hang with a big server of Llodra says alot to me.Since RAM is basically a crappier minor league version of Llodra.+200 seems like a good price here.Any other thoughts?

I agree with you here-I want to see how my day develops though--of course my first 200+ dog just lost the first in a tie breaker

Its worth a punt at that number beef, what a serve this guy has. That number is probably from the fact he hasnt done much since Marseilles. I wish you could get some games on the handicap with these challengers.

I just dont know how motivated he will be for a small tourney like this and Olivetti lost to some really minor opponents in Tallahassee and Le Gosier and Ram did pretty well in Tallahassee. Tough call without the handicap.

Line up to +220 now..Going to wait till 4pm and pounce..

Ram is one of those tough guys to gauge. He cashed a couple good prices I think in that last tournament, kind of using the same logic you have here where it was serve on serve. Will be interesting to see if the Frog can perform outside of Frogville.

Yeah, the home edge was something for him with that run.He actually has not done much since then.Good win yesterday,even though it vs a scrub.All Ram has is a serve.Anyone who can out ace mardy fish 23-6 on hard is worth it vs a shite returner such as RAM.

Meh ... out anything-ing Mardy Fish this year hardly seems difficult.
