I think he'll handle Baker relatively easily.

i think kohl has a real shot of winning it all. i have a futures bet on him. i picked him to be in the finals and with nadal gone i really see a good shot for him

I dunno think Baker may surprise. I don't have anything staked on Kohls or Baker so for your sake i hope im wrong. Just have to give the edge to Baker here.

this Baker guy plays beautifully. definitely has shot vs. Kohl

It's funny the way Kohlschreiber's draw has worked out thus far. He plays Haas (aging veteran trying to make 1 final run), Rosol (the wonder kid who pulled off one of the biggest upsets of all time), and now Baker (making an incredible comeback from injury and battling through diversity).

Kohlschreiber has about a 0.000000000000000000001% chance of winning. The guy has never been to a Grand Slam semi, never mind a final and likely he's going to have to beat Tsonga or Fish to get to a semi [if he beats Baker] and then you're talking about likely running into Djokovic or Federer in the final. If he ran the table on that, that would be the most unlikely Champion in a Slam in ages. I think he'd do well to get to a quarter.

All the more reason SBR better have odds up for the QF so I can hedge this!!

Bet points with yisman if you've got 'em. He has the Wimbledon thread in the SBR Points forum. Better than not getting dick from SBR.
