+1200 pre-match? Lighter than I would have thought. He's been on IR for 2 years and been playing minor leagues to build his way back up. Great dude and glad to see him back!
Problem with those big odds matches is that they make the markets so fuxking wide. Actually much more “juice” than normal lines.

But yeah Goat is still overvalued and when Opelka is winning 81% of serve points, it makes it difficult. Sort of loved the 4.5 and figured at that price, it was well worth the shot as Goat gets back in form (hopefully)

Played competitively for 20+ years and watch TC almost as much as ESPN. I don't bet it much...some in the majors. Correct on those ML odds....crazy wide. With Isner gone it's good to have a bomber in there. Of course Perricard is right there too hitting 2 first serves..lol. That dude looks like he could play TE for someone!!

haa, nice... me too. I'm not a big fan of the bombers like you... I enjoy Opelka and Isner, but don't love watching their matches. I could do with GMP, but he's impossible to fade right now

I don't particularly like to watch them either. I prefer to see how guys work/develop points...bang bang tennis isn't much fun to watch.

back in the day, i enjoyed the bombers on grass, because they often combined it with a serve-and-volley game. that was fun to watch.

Agreed... like Pete - even tho I never rooted for him (Agassi), i loved watching him play. Who else?

Becker? Edberg?

i saw agassi play in 1987 at the Schenectady Open. i'm sure everyone remembers that fun little tournament. he was the 2-seed and lost in the first round. the following year, a young unseeded fella made the semifinals... by the name of pete sampras. he lost to tim mayotte, who went on to beat johan kriek in the finals.

i loved watching becker play at wimbleton. seemed like he was always diving all over the court. if you haven't seen the story about agassi picking up a tell on becker's serve, look it up.

I have that seen that story. Amazing.

And i even am familiar with Mayotte and Kriek (great doubles player). Krickstein. Noah. Who else underrated from that era?

smitty was very underrated. coulda been a contender with some coaching.

not really underrated, but michael chang was fun for a few years at the french. am i making things up, or did he occasionally break out an underhand serve? that was him, right?

fun side note from the 1988 schenectady open... in the first round, Patrick McEnroe beat a T. Mmoh. i'm wondering if that is Michael Mmoh's dad. don't quite care enough to look it up.

if we're not careful, kick is going to ban us for having this conversation here. meh, he doesn't read anything in the american college football forum. :smilies24
