Continuation thread from this one that was past the 1,000 post quota.

was going to suggest a different name for the new thread. Good stuff.

Hopefully my only bet of the French open this year pays off!

Put a bet on Schiavone to win it again this year at the start of the tournament and got 17-1 and put $30 on it.

She plays Jankovic tonight which will be a tough game.

 

[Athomas]

I've placed my first individual bet of the French with Schiavone to beat Jankovic at 2.42

Only have 4 players left for overall in the mens, Fed, Murray, Soderling and Gasquet. Big upset tonight Gasquet!

 

[One Fell Swoop]

the brains trust saves the day.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Need Ferrer to win, counting on him in a few of my multis.

 

[The_Doctor]

How upset would you be if you backed Montanes?! lol

Not because of the injury break but the fact that Fognini couldnt move and just kept slapping winners from the back of the court. From 0-40 facing 3 match points, not being able to move or serve and just lobbing it over at 120km/h how did Fognini win???
Montanes just kept hitting it back to him and when he tried to make him run he hit it way wide and his drop shot hit halfway up the net when it only needed to hit the service line to win!

Still can't believe he won that match, does anyone know how badly he is injured and if he will play Djokovic?

Probably polar opposites to how happy I was!

1 unit on Makarova tonight @ $8.25, just because it's women's tennis.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Chela/Soderling/Murray/Sharapova @ 3.37

 

[DT_35]

Great come back by Li Na, took the 3 set total @ $2.50 for that match.

Thoughts on Nadal -8 against Ljubicic @ $1.93?

 

[JuddyBuddy]

I'd stay away. Nadal hasn't been at his best. Not saying he'll lose, but might get pushed to 3 tight sets.

 

[Trojan Pies]

Chela/Soderling/Murray/Sharapova @ 3.37

Murray injured...might not even start.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Yeah, I know about his ankle. He'll beat Troicki on one leg.

I'm more worried about the Chela leg atm. The match is as up and down as a women's match.

 

[Trojan Pies]

Funny stuff - Murray sounded like he was about to cry in an interview today.

Chela floundering...

 

[little boy]

Chela = weak ****

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Damn, don't like Falla's chances now...

 

[Harvestar]

I haven't followed any of the French Open so far, but does anyone think Simon is a chance against Soderling tonight?

A Frenchmen on clay in front of a home crowd must provide some hope.

H2H @ $3.30. Generous I would have thought....?

 

[DT_35]

Soderling in career best form. Don't rate Simon that highly, he's a good player, but won't challenge Soder.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Soderling seems to have the wood on Simon, and is in good form. I reckon the 1.33 for Soderling is probably about right.

 

[DT_35]

F*ck you Nadal

 

[The_Doctor]

Would much rather Simon +7.5 games at about the same price. He will take atleast one set off Soderling.

Murray 3-0 sets @ 2.80 is a good bet so long as Troicki doesnt retire when he knows he cannot win

 

[DT_35]

Need Nadal to hold, then break...common son
