EP36's Grand Slam Wankoff: U.S. Open

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 04:30 PM

Fawkin A Cilic had this first set with an early break and chokes it back. Have to hope Murray yacks something else up.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 04:38 PM

Thank you Andrew! Now that you have dropped a set, make sure you frickin win one bozo.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 04:46 PM

Eesh. Murray serving for shit. May need a miracle for him to get a set when I thought it might be the other way around.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 04:59 PM

Good show of class from Delpo. Well done. Adios Roddick.

Lakey · 09-05-12, 05:22 PM

Murray's in big trouble here. Hope he can take at least a set for your sake.

Lakey · 09-05-12, 05:53 PM

Wow, nice comeback for you that set.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 05:53 PM

Brilliant choke/rally for Murray to come back from 1-5! That'll cash the over games and sets bet as long as they finish out thed match.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 06:01 PM

Adding for the night cap ....

Federer-Berdych Over 3.5 Sets (-121)
If Berdych can serve stout like he has the last couple rounds, I think he can take at least a set. History shows his height, length & weaponry can bother The Maestro some.

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 06:43 PM

Wow Murray was done 5 1 n came back???

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 06:43 PM

Down

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 08:48 PM

Oy another one of these where the big boy needs to get going jjst to taoke a set. C'mon Fed.

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 09:09 PM

Gonna be unbelievable if Berdych straight sets Federer. Not surprised he is ahead or competing, but Federer is back in Federror mode today. Timing totally off.

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 09:32 PM

wow this is nuts. who does Berdych get if he wins? Murray?

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:12 PM

at 5dimes Federer is -390 to win the 5th set. seems like free money if it gets to the 5th.

says set must me complete for action. so if i place the bet and he loses in the 4th the bet is void correct?

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:13 PM

also Fed +105 live now for total match

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:22 PM

i camt do it i wanna see berdych win. would be nice to see one of these young guys outside top 5 put it all together. like how hes battling heree n the 4th n not completely mind fukin himself

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:27 PM

What a shot to break!!!! Now a great service game to cap it off no nerves at all. Woulf love to see this guy in the finals. Does he get tips oe murrah?

fergie's balls · 09-05-12, 10:29 PM

Fed doesn't lose last set right??

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 10:31 PM

Great match by Berdych. Problem is he probably doesn't follow this up and you can damn well bet Andy Murray is excited. Should be a good one.

matt1216 · 09-05-12, 10:36 PM

Man, If Murray dosnt make it to the finals with No Federer/Nadal, he will never win a Grand Slam.

matt1216 · 09-05-12, 10:38 PM

I would bet Andy wins the Match. When Berdych beat Federer last, did he lose his next match? wondring if berdych will be Mentally hung over from this win

he seems like a pretty grounded guy. wasn't over exuberant in the post game interview and didn't collapse in the 4th set and stayed mentally strong. we'll see.

interesting that Joker and Tips will match up again in the same spot. wonder if Tips will be able to give him a better battle this time.

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:46 PM

shit..totally forgot about Ferrer and Del potro....durrrrrrrrrrrrrr

EaglesPhan36 · 09-05-12, 10:47 PM

Tipsarevic is playing Ferrer. Djokovic plays Del Potro. Good thing if you like Murray against Berdych is you should get a nice price because beating Federer will drive the price down a ton.

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:49 PM

Ferrer is -275 and Nole is -540

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 10:50 PM

thinking a Novak and Azarenka parlay.

Sharapova was so lucky to win today. her motivation does not seem to be there. meanwhile Azarenka playing like a bulldog

I think Joker will take Delpo Down pretty easily. Jokers tourney to lose now. Tipsy vs Ferrer. Interesting match. Tipsy is in much better condition than gasquet was in. Gasquet i think shoulda taken atleast 1 set. he had his chances. Tipsy could take this if motivated, does ferrer come out swingin even harder knowing theres one more big name taken out of the tourney?

Watch yourself with ferrer. Ferrer hasnt looked great to me. Hes been good thats about it. Ferrer just wears his opponents down to win, but tipsy's conditioning is right up there with ferrer

i lean Tips in that match, not sure I have the cahunas to pull the trigger though

zoo youk · 09-05-12, 11:08 PM

i played Tipsarvic +2.5 sets -250.

lol. i know its an absolute terrible price but i just don't see him going down in straights.

ya man, i think your good here. this should hit 5 sets

EaglesPhan36 · 09-06-12, 05:56 AM

I bave Tipsarevic to win the quarter @ +475, so nothing but a straight hedge with Ferrer to cover that and break even at worst. Think you guys underestimate Ferrer. Extra day of rest and the hardest worker on tour. Going to be tough to beat.

You have to be honest in saying Tipsarevic has had a pretty easy draw to this point. It will be interesting to see if he can amp his game up to match. Just like Wawrinka with Djokovic yesterday, the serve is going to be under more pressure than it has all tournament and is key to any chance he has. He won't win if he can't get some cheap points off his serve. You rarely beat Ferrer if it comes strictly down to rallies.

If I played another bet outside of the hedge, would probably be Over 3.5 sets @ -175 but would want to parlay that with something.

He'll make it to the final but no chance against Nole

EaglesPhan36 · 09-06-12, 06:44 AM

If Berdych plays like he did last night, he can beat anyone. Murray has looked very ordinary for too long in two of his last three matches. He best come with his A+ game because it is to the stage now where he is not meeting the Cilics and Lopezs of the world where he can get away with it.

To be honest, Berdych may be playing the best tennis of anyone this tourney. Djokovic has mowed people down, but his serve was pretty vulnerable against an inferior Wawrinka yesterday. Fortunately Djokovic picked WawaKs serve apart every time he got broken.

beefcake · 09-06-12, 07:04 AM

Agree 100% here EP,all over Birdman next round at + money.Murray dam lucky to win vs head case cilic..
