I had a chance at winning 50 grand for the streak for the cash game.

Leaderboard went heavy on Flipkens under 4.5 games won.

Flipkens had 4 games won, was up 2-1 in the second set and serving, and then lost five straight games, including getting broken three times.

Anybody like nieminen?

isner breaking malisse in the 2nd game of the first set is pretty unbelievable...if malisse had won the coin toss, no way isner gets two breaks in one set....those taking the under in that first set had to hope for 9...9 was the lowest number that set was going to see...still don't understand how over 80 percent of the pickers would take 9 or less in an isner set

[yisman]

right, it was dependent on the coin toss. They locked it before the flip.

Isner and Malisse single digit games in a set is pretty unusual.

Most people took under because Isner is a ranked American I guess. But Isner's return game isn't very strong, and he doesn't play short sets often in general.

feels like a bad beat losing streak for the cash because that set went under. then look at how the rest of the match went!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I was going for win # 13. eh, it was a late run anyway, although I would have been going for win #20 had I not picked tsonga to beat isner when they played.

got burned by isner twice

you can't really win with 13. With 17 I had an outside chance.
