nice call on hewitt kick, i obviously was wrong
i was right about one thing, roddick wasn't ready. he couldn't win the really big points and he hasn't been tested in about 2 1/2 months until yesterday and it showed. his first serve is awesome though when he gets it in.
another bitch moan i have about roddick, is get angry out there. STOP BEING A NICE GUY. I mean in that first two sets, he complimented hewitt on every winner. I mean come on, clapping on your racket, saying great shot on all his winners. stop being nice. just play. hewitt doesn't need compliments, he has 15000 people doing that. just play and show a little mean streak.
anyway, on to the women.
i find it interesting that the number one player in world, number one seed in the tourney and favorite to win pretourney is now a +225 dog. Im sure serena will get bet by more than a 2-1 margine, but come on. there has to be some value with davenport. serena didn't play all that great against the hot russian, with the exception of the 3 match points she saved (awesome forehands). davenport played like crap against dechy, but found a way to win. obviously shes the more tired of the 2, but so was hewitt and he didn't show it.
williams holds a 9-4 edge lifetime, but davenport won the 2 they played last year.
theres value with davenport at over 2 to 1, but i still think serena wins. so, i decided to play the match a little differently. i think it will go 3 sets. of the 13 times they've played, 5 of the 13 have gone 3 sets. of the majors and tour championship meetings 3 of the 5 went 3.
with a gun to my head i say serena wins, but i think its better to bet it goes 3 sets. if it doesn't well then chalk up a bad tourney for me.
500/2345 davenport wins 2-1
500/1460 williams wins 2-1
good luck
on a side note, something i found amusing, serena is listed on the wta website as weighing 135 pounds. ARE U KIDDING. If serena weighs within 20 pounds of 135 i'd be amazed. her ass alone has to weigh 50. just found that amusing
