Can't believe he withdrew. He is one of my favorite players to watch.

gators0708 · 05-24-12, 11:38 AM

Me 2

This is his favorite tournament as well.

Dmoneytx · 05-24-12, 11:39 AM

Sorry Monfils withdrew for ya D!! I know how much you like him. Baker loses today IMO. On Bovada, Purple Kush went from +140 to +115 now. Looks like people are figuring this match out maybe..........

gators0708 · 05-24-12, 11:51 AM

Yeah happy I got it at +140!

Hangoverblack · 05-24-12, 12:14 PM

I am on kush for a 5 unit play, my only tennis play today.

Glad to see this sentiment.

Good luck to us.

gators0708 · 05-24-12, 02:04 PM

Baker up a break

MagicDiceFlow · 05-24-12, 02:34 PM

Kush had Baker on the ropes with a few break points but couldnt finish ......4-4 now.

ParlayininHTown · 05-24-12, 03:00 PM

Sorry if you lost, guys. I knew this line was too fishy, so I didn't bet on this match.

The Kush just wasn't strong enough today. Hopefully the next sack will be a lot better

PharaohUB · 05-24-12, 03:02 PM

Kush had 5 points where he could have been serving for match or winning the match if he won the point. You were on the right side. Luck just wasnt with you.

gators0708 · 05-24-12, 04:07 PM

Yeaa could have gone either way, what a story Baker has going though!

Mercersux · 05-24-12, 04:13 PM

Loving me some Baker boys. !!! Sry if you lost on this one but just happy for Baker's run and my run right now.

Baker might win...Denko got to 5-2 serving for match and now its 5-5..

Old man played well but looks gassed

Smoked too many cigarettes with his morning coffee today

I don't think that the Russian is on the take again. He's giving 100%. Baker is just way better than everyone thinks.

A lot of people don't realize how good Baker could have been before injuries and other issues slowed his progress. It's been a great week for the guy, and he certainly has the talent to play in more ATP events annually. I hope to see more of the guy in the near future, but as soon as he costs me money by upsetting one of the top players, I won't want to look at him again. haha.

paco · 05-25-12, 12:34 PM

Baker coulda easily won the 1st set.

He has no chance now

ebbearsfb1 · 05-25-12, 12:43 PM

Davydenko is a hamburger, only bet this shyt cause to kill time .. bet it at 1030... now 145.. and it ain't close to over. Time for a. Nap

Baker is serving to win the second set, but they stopped because Davy was getting his hand checked out ... The vet could also be wearing down a little.

ebbearsfb1 · 05-25-12, 12:47 PM

Baker gonna win, over was the best play

I didn't even bet it ... just watching parts of it to see whether I should back Almagro tomorrow. But you're right. This is going to be close to a three-hour match, and it'll only last three sets. I can't wait until those five-hour matches next week when lots of money will be on the line ...

ebbearsfb1 · 05-25-12, 12:55 PM

He has yet to win when serving what a bum.. might as well retire

Sport_Fish · 05-25-12, 01:06 PM

What a painful game to watch...this is more of a break-fest than a WTA match.

ParlayininHTown · 05-25-12, 01:15 PM

Baker serving for the match ... Davy couldn't hang.

Mercersux · 05-25-12, 01:15 PM

Baker up a break in the third. Baker's been playing three setters pretty much the whole tourney. As much as I've been backing this guy whole tourney, think it might be fade time tomorrow against Almagro if he wins.

Almagro crushed Simon today and won Nice last year. Seems like he's more interested in defending his title this week than making a deep run next week. But it's not like Almagro won't have a day off between his first three or four matches in the FO if he gets that far, and he's played nothing but two-setters this week ... so it may not have much of an effect.

paco · 05-25-12, 01:22 PM

Fuk yea Baker!

Sport_Fish · 05-25-12, 01:24 PM

Baker is oviously auto-fade against Almagro but price will be pretty ridiculous.

Davy was in good form this week, but after beating Isner, he used up everything he had. This guy could barely breath today against Baker.

beefcake · 05-25-12, 02:04 PM

Curious to see where bakers ranking will be now.Good for him!

paco · 05-25-12, 03:10 PM

Baker worth a shot at +445 tomorrow.

Damn he's that much of a long shot. Yeah can't fade Baker at those odds. small play on Baker is in order.

Checkerboard · 05-27-12, 11:07 AM
