Great job by Wawrinka to immediately snatch back momentum in the 3rd set. He feasted on 2nd serves which shows Malisse tightened up not being able to get in his 1st serves in the championship set.

Onto the next tournament...

wawrinka has strong mind. malisse i have seen do the smooth fold more than once. he's not as obvious as roddick, bitching at the judge til you want to kill him, but it's a fade under pressure, no doubt.

more tournaments, here we come.. lines just went up

 

[CapMan]

playing Chardy and M. Venus. Robredo is known for laying stinkers..+600 looks good to me in rd 1 of a January tourney.

 

[CapMan]

also going against A. Rezai until she proves me wrong..she was horrendous to close 2010

First set to Venus! He'll fade I'm sure..

jankovic i dont know about, she really appeared to be fading last year. not crazy about either side of that.

 

[CapMan]

i think Jankovic had health issues, Rezai just lost her game.

 

[CapMan]

playing Pennetta..great price for someone holding a 3-2 series edge.

Malisse- think he can get one win before fatigue sets in..tough call, Clement can serve big at times.

Nalbandian should rip through Fognini in under an hour.

i like malisse under, haase under too. could be a big year for kamke, he has the talent. dont know about pennetta, but lost going against her many times.

lu might be worth a shot +190. seems like a lot of the players who haven't played yet in 2011 are starting slow.

Pick: Kamke -187 (Riba), risking 1870 to win 1000 :0074 :sadwave:

Pick: Kamke-Riba 22' under -140, risking 2800 to win 2000 :0074

Pick: Clement-Malisse 22' under -124, risking 2480 to win 2000 :sadwave:

POST-analysis: this damn malisse, stupid to play on him, he needs to be tased, like he's in a perpetual malaise. very bad play on my part.

Pick: Haase-Cuevas 23 under -141, risking 2820 to win 2000 :sadwave:

Pick: Rezai-Jovanovski 21 under -110, risking 2200 to win 2000 :sadwave:

Pick: Kamke +348 (Ferrer), risking 1000 to win 3480 :sadwave:

why: Kamke is good. just won a nice match. Ferrer hasn't played. Others who are just starting in the new year have had problems. Very easily be an upset here, and i expect the 4 to cover at odds on.

good call.

 

[CapMan]

thanks..probably playing Groth and Cuevas. Not sure what to make of Haase. Seems to have a good service game but lost some sets last tournament to shaky players. Cuevas won't let him back in the match if the throws a set away.

Lu is getting BAGELED! First set to Malisse!

i'm done with malisse, cant stand him. he goes limp whenever he gets ahead. picked the wrong unders tonight, it looks like.

wth is all this rain in australia? i thought it was the middle of hot summer down there.

probably take under on haase. the overs have been riding high, soon the unders are going to come in.

not sure what to make of del Potro..Mayer might not be the best match-up for him right now..he's on my radar as an up and comer. Love his game

what a shit day tues, hopefully wed is better.

 

[CapMan]

I believe he's 27. No official plays yet today, but leaning Stakhovsky, Mannarino, Na LI, Troicki, and Mayer
