-Melzer having his second match after the injury. Earlier sets for Melzer 9-0.

Kiefer over Safin +107 2.1/10

......... The big turning for the match was Djoko serving 4-3 lead and 0-15 when Roger again made one of his errors ball going wide but it hetted the net and spinned to the court and Roger made a rebreak in that servicegame.

not so sure of this. Nole clearly got tight in that 8th game. At 15-15 he netted an easy fh into the net. Fed did nothing spectacular in that game, Nole just choked. HOWEVER, now at 4-4 and momentum clearly on Fed's side, Fed holds to 5-4. Nole THEN proceeds, like a Champion, to have two fantastic service games settign up the fatefull tiebreak. I thikn this loss may be a good one for Fed. He needed a reality check--way too casual in that frist set--not the same man that was clearly pissed and trashed Nole at Melbourne Park (bad blood between the two at the time related to Davis Cup, if memory serves me well). Interestign to see what happens at Flushing Meadows, as no doubt beatign --Roddick, Nadal, and Fed in a week, Mr.Djokovic has arrived.

great week btw, well done

Thanks.

Peng over Wozniacki -120 1.4/10
-Just following Hope 1

Krajicek over Peer +115 1.8/10
-Peer's form has been somewhere else and Krajicek has showed great tennis so imo Peer has no chances if she continues doing what she has been doing lately, maby her selfconfidence is down enough.

 

[Leviathan]

Bjorkman over Ginepri +130 4.1/10
-Mr OldMan versus Mr HeadCase are playing tomorrow but Bjorkman as a good servereturner is the favourite for me to this match even Ginepri has shoved some signs of better in his games but it is like his opponent wins one set and the game is over.

Spadea over Nieminen +161 0.8/10
-I see value in Spadea who has played good tennis this year especially in US so against unpredictable Nieminen who has had some injuries this year worth of a shot.

Bjorkman pending.

Calleri over Kohlschreiber +128 1.2/10
-Kohl not so impressive lately, Calleri not either thinking but the thing what I noticed is that Kohl is 15-21 in the USA so far.

Falla over Blake +380 0.6/10
-Falla had nice qualies matches and Blake retired from previous tournament because of abdonimal muscle, should not be too bad but Blake has showed nothing special for some time and Falla's gamestyle might hurt his powertennis and Falla has previous wins too against harder opponents.

Klepac over Tu +190 0.8/10
-Klepac trough qualies and even Tu is playing at home her results at Toronto has been less convincing over the years, wins over Husarova, Zanetti and Tulyaganova when losses for Li, Zuluaga twice, Black and Prakusya. Tu has showed nothing special so trying a bet against her.

Shulaeva over Pelletier -145 1.5/10
-This will be the first major event of the year for both canadians and the first major event of the career for Shulaeva. Pelletier is from 2003 3-9 in major events and now in four match losing streak. They met at previous month and Shualeva was better in straight sets and Shulaeva came trough qualies to this tournament so giving a shot for her.

Shulaeva over Pelletier -145 1.5/10
-This will be the first major event of the year for both canadians and the first major event of the career for Shulaeva. Pelletier is from 2003 3-9 in major events and now in four match losing streak. They met at previous month and Shualeva was better in straight sets and Shulaeva came trough qualies to this tournament so giving a shot for her.

likely will be with you on this one. Ekaterina looked very good Vs half man-half woman Amanmuradova. She returned well, considering Akgul has a big serve (and not much else). She also beat Jorgelina which was another good win--couple this with Marie's lack of form, I think this is the right play.

hey, btw, do you plan on having a losing day?

good job today

:toast:
ps., Tu is American, not Canadian

 

[rhinooooo]

Great hits!

Good luck today. I'm tempted by Falla and Calleri.

 

[Leviathan]

Thanks guys :toast:

hey, btw, do you plan on having a losing day?

No, winning days planned only. I thought for a long time what was wrong with my betting and realised it was the losing days :missingte...really the only thing I can guarantee is that my losing days are nearer every day, maby today.

Thanks for correcting, of course Tu is a California girl, somehow wrote that. Surely she is nearer her home but I believe canadians are not cheereing for americans?

 

[JohnMolson]

Shulaeva took the 1st but pissed away the 2nd.hno:

 

[Hope1]

she fell apart late in teh second--little separates these two, neither playing very well. Sorry girls but one of you has to win:nohead: . Ekaterina is tryign moonballing nonsense, she's goign to plan 'd'.

neither can hold serve in this 3rd set:missingte

how about Kuz earlier Vs Vinci. Holy shit!!!!! This girl has to stop eating, wtf!!!! Thank goodness it didn't go 3 sets or else they'd have to give her oxygen. Cmon Kuz, fuckin hit the gym, a disgrace.
