So Why Did I Bet On Harrison?

Easy buddy, breaks happen. Back on serve.

I get the impression the Harrison raises his game against competition... should be a good battle.

Harrison has nothing for Del Potro. He's getting blasted all over the court with Del Po's forehand.

I read too many articles. That is what I am blaming. First pick that really makes me feel stupid this week. Don't feel like it was my own, felt like it was more from reading too much shit that I started believing he had a chance to make it a tight one. I did figure he could serve better and keep the sets tight. Went with +6.5, that's pretty much in the toilet. He's getting his ankle treated. Maybe he'll quit.

I took over 33, would need Harrison to win the 3rd at this point.

He's playing like a complete pusher. Maybe JMDP hits some balls long or wide and that covers. It's not like JMDP's serve is unbreakable. If he gets his cheap points you never know.

Like I said in another thread, it's shitty how tennis can have real shitty players beat really good players. Any given day, get your cheap points on serve, get some lucky bounces to win critical points, and your opponent make critical errors. Shitbags like Bradley Klahn can beat Jurgen Melzer like that, but then make Richard Gasquet look like prime Federer.

LoL. You're still harping on Klahn from the other day. Melzer is a shitbag at this stage of his career my man. Gasquet is miles better than Melzer at this stage of the season/their careers. There really is no comparison.

It's the fact that Klahn is such a piece of shit. He shouldn't have even been in the Open. And it took him an enormous amount of luck to win in 5 sets. I never seen a match where one guy would get dominated on the point so much, but win it.

JMDP is giving Harrison a break and another game to start the 3rd. I'm telling ya, tennis sucks in the way it rewards asshole players. Just keep the ball in play most matches and the other player will hit it out or into the net no matter how much they are dominating the point.

Harrison's mindless pushing gets rewarded in the 3rd set, as Del Potro's forehand went away WTA style.

i only took +2.5 sets +120. lucky that cashed

Really hate myself. Handicap literally dropped from 7 to 6.5 this morning while I was reading and that is going to make this a loss.
