[GoldenTaint]

seems like a lot of overs would be hitting this tournament. Seems like these guys get complacent and just give sets away.

This tournament has been hugely to the under on the men's side.

Isner is a walking tie breaker..I think Cilic can push Nadal a bit, maybe grab a set.

playing Berdych (scary), Wawrinka and Petkovic

yes, berdych is the one i'm least confident in. petkovic, i dont know. she's can fall off. good but not great. with her it's more technical failure i worry about. i really like wawrinka, but that's probably more cuz i relish seeing roddick turn into a lineswoman-browbeating bitch. wawrinka is tough minded, and unless roddick is playing exceptionally well, should win

 

[CapMan]

I have no faith in Sharapova after 2-3 wins..her serve is beyond erratic.

 

[CapMan]

Berdych wins!

Wawrinka wins!

Petkovic wins!

Wawrinka didn't even try tonight..it's like he doesn't even want to beat Federer.

yeah, clearly psychological, i guess from federer helping him.

maybe we'll get a real match out of berdych-djokovic.

 

[CapMan]

I think we will..Berdych can drag the Joker into deep waters and that's always a problem for Novak. When was the last time Novak played a 3-4 hour match? The longer this goes, the better for Berdych.

I still think Wawrinka has a big year..

nice hit on the Knicks under. I'm leaning Ferrer for some reason. Just seems like that type of tournament.

yeah, i would tend to agre, but i've done terribly this tournament. i dont like murray, so i tend to lose going against him. it would figure that after all this great play ferrer doesn't show up. probably still take something on ferrer, just don't trust the under. murray will fall apart under pressure i feel sure. whether ferrer can apply that is the question.
