I hope Benneteau holds on, I grabbed him this money in parlay with Andy Murray to try and make up for Martin crappy play.

40 wins 114.50
Benneteau took the first set tiebreak 9-7 and lead 1-0 in 2nd.
Come on Frenchie.
And I am gonna kick myself if Hewitt goes down.
I was eyeing a 20 play on Gil at 8-1 and didn't do it because Hewitt is good on grass.
Gil leads 5-2 in 1st set.
The scoreboard is all over the place on this match.
I see one site that says 7-6 Ivo in 1st and another says 7-6 Benneteau.
All sites say 3-1 Ivo in the 3rd. I have yet to see a final.
About what I expected. Thought he could give him hell and steal one at 2.5-1 odds.
He did give him hell for two sets.
That is the thing with 3 set mens tennis. Underdogs have better chance in 3 set than 5. The longer a match goes the more chance that the better man will step up.
Any thoughts on :
James Blake vs. Sam Querrey
Blake -220/Querrey +180
Querry is 1-4 vs Blake but has won the first set in 4 of the 5 meetings and the one he lost was a 7-6 tiebreaker.Blake won 2 sets to 1 match vs Sam on grass once.
Leaning towards Juan Carlos Ferrero(-155) over Xavier Malisse. Malisse has done nothing in his career to impress me and even less on grass. JCF is clearly on downside of a not so bad career. JCF has been solid against lesser competition on grass as well.
I have been eyeing Fish,Ferrero,and longshot on Hewitt.
Roddick has been pretty solid this year and Hewitt got off to a shaky start today. Poor 1st set vs Roddick and he is probably done.Hewitt is good on grass though and +275 is tempting.
Good call on Fish,joz.
Ferrero did his job as well.
Nice start to the day for me.
Stayed away from Querrey as well which was a good thing as he lost a 3 set battle.
I have a very small play on Hewitt right now.
Only reason Darcis is this far is weak opponents and a Monfels dropout. Ferrero rolls him.
Murray just way better than Fish and Murray on grass is no brainer.
Good luck
