i know not to take high favorites
but youzhny over saulnier minus 208 is too easy to pass up
and so is monflis over gaudio minus 128- more reasonable

I'm with you on Monfils here. I saw him beat Hernych in 3 sets but it is misleading. Monfils could have beaten the Fed that day but he was pushed because Hernych played awesome despite losing!

Nice picks. Youzhny breezed 6-1 6-1. Monfils match I watched and he looked good again.....I think Gaudio actually gave up after the 1st set.

I'm going with Murray again to beat Berdych @ -130. It's part of my on-going parlay...Murray straight through to the final. He will have to play better than he did against Tiny Tim but I think he may have had some jitters yesterday.

interesting theory on murray, ive never had confidence betting w/or against coria and now with him out , its there for murray to take, murray will probalby be a slight dog vs. gonzalez..gonzalez isnt going for broke anymore off the forehand side..tough match to call...if murray can stay consistent he has a real shot to get to the finals, but no way do i see him beating nalbandian

I thought about Nalbandian but I am reminded about their meeting in Wimbledon. Murray lost it in 5....and I mean he lost it.....versus Nalbandian beat him. It was his first time ever playing on grass and as we know Nalbandian is a Wimbledon finalist. Murray has this thing where he plays to the competition and really only loses mentally not physically. The only match where I think he was just out-talented in the last 6 months was against The Fed in Bangkok. You can say a lot of tennis players struggle with the mental side of the game but with him it is really evident...case in point tonight and yesterday. I watched as Berdych really could've won when Murray had his usual mental lapse but Murray just managed to take advantage of Berdych errors in the 3rd set once it became do or die. This Scottish kid will make you sweat 90% of the time.

On to the next leg of the parlay.....and truthfully I don't expect to win but I figured the price would be too good to pass on.

Montfils to win his tourney is a real game-on bet as I've watched his Round 1 and Round 2 encounters and was really impressed. As I said, he would've made The Fed struggle and I think would have beaten him in that Hernych performance.

all good points and one's to consider..im still going to take nalbandian over murray just for the mere fact like you said, he isnt strong mentally when it comes to top notch competition..by this i mean, he has yet to pull out a win, sure you could argue the henman win was big, but we know henman is on his last legs..also until murray actually beats a primetime player like a nalbandian, i will continue to bet against him b/c he will just continue to play them close but lose...but good calls...and do you have a line on murray/gonzalez?
