Azarenka +200 (vs. Williams) risking 1.5units to win 3units
Verdasko +650 (vs. Murray) risking 1unit to win 6.5units
Tsonga -220 (vs. Blake) risking 4.4units to win 2

Damn...Azarenka was up a set and playing really well before she had to retire.
Serena got really lucky

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I missed the Verdasco match due to a cold, but from what I've seen Verdasco is playing inspired tennis right now and the next match against Tsonga should be another great one. The Quarterfinals is my favorite round of Grand Slams,(not to bet on per se) the quality of tennis and type of matchups are always entertaining. I'll have one maybe two picks for tonight, let's keep the winners coming

Roddick +220 (vs. Djokovic) risking 2units to win 4.4units

Hopefully your book doesnt only grade fully completed matches. At my books (BetJam/CW) two sets must be complete to detemine a winner so I got the win with Roddick after Djok retired.

On the Womens side. I like Dementieva tonight but I don't love it at the price of ~500. Serena Williams has looked shaky recently and I dont understand why the announcers have been saying she looks fit because to me she looks 10 pounds over weight.

On the Mens side. Nadal has looked fabulous lately and I see him winning this tournament. The match of the day goes to Verdasco v Tsonga. This should be a great one and I'm really interested to see how this one plays out. My initial lean is with Tsonga -180, however how will Tsonga big build fair in this crazy heat?


for now I'm going to place one small wager...
Svetlana Kuznetsova +240 (v. Serena Williams) risking 1 unit to win 2.4units

What a Kuznetsova major choke job. Serving for the match and she ends up dropping the next 9 out of 10 games. Got to hand it to Serena to hang in their and keep fighting. Let's get that unit back tomorrow

 

[Brotherwo]

Dementieva -120 (vs Williams) risking 2.4 to win 2

YTD: 7-4 +21 units

Recently I've been giving money back by fading Serena. Open the roof and she would of been gone two rounds ago.

I'm going to sit out tonights match.
