Anyone feeling wild enough to take Benneteau +2200??

I would not waste a dime on Malisse. Mental block against Federer old or new. Poor record vs. Top 10 also (14-38). I think maybe he gets a set but usually these hiccups for Fed lead to a better focus and beatdown in the nezt round.

I could not of said it better myself.

It did if you look at the history of how top 3 players in the country do in grand slam tournaments in mens tennis. Soderling actually used to be a great player.

Soderling was over 30/1 and I got called all kinds of names for picking him. Nadal is unbeatable at RG, etc.

that said, I won't be betting malisse

To me there is no value in losing money though in betting the underdog. Malisse is not a young guy either.

Are you trying to tell me that Benneteau is not a great player?

I'm done arguing with you but it's hard to debate that there was no value in Benneteau today. He was 1 tiebreaker away from giving me a $3000 return on an investment of house money that I had from the spread. I'd play it the same way again if given the chance. Federer proved me wrong. I'm sure he'll prove me wrong again but one of these times I'm gonna get "a guy with no chance" against him.

How many top 3 players lost in that tournament early?

I am saying Soderling was better than Benneteau.

It was not arguing, It was debating. There was no value in the moneyline in my opinion. No way was Nadal and Fed going to lose this early. That's money you gave back to the house. I actually see Fed making it far in this tournament. He's a bounce back player. He should win nicely next match. Especially against Malisse.

Djokovic lost in the third round.

He was a top 3 player at the time?
