I appreciate the picks and analysis, Reader. You're wrong about kickserv being bitter, though, he's one of the more cheerful people you'll find. He's been around here a long time, always been helpful, and is liked by others, and is a good judge of things generally, see his -110 record. I think you owe him some respect. Not too many are into tennis, so it helps if people get along.

7 years of posting tennis picks on here.....finished in positive every single year, all on here plain as day, anybody can verify that. All have have to do is do a search and you'll see my record for the past 7 years. Every single year finished in the positive.
Then you have this Reader dude on here less then a month saying "he is the best ever" and attacking 4 different posters for no reason at all. Nobody says anything and this guy comes out of nowhere with less then one month of posting and starts attacking people.:facepalm:
Anyway.....thanks GoldenTaint:0008

Unbelievable, another retirement. :142smilie
Cannot for the life of me understand these odds. Ito is by far the more superior player technically and mentally. He can counter-punch and loves a target. Zverev has been having a horrid time of it lately and although Ito will be somewhat jet lagged perhaps and even tired from his efforts @ the Australian Open, he should have enough to dispatch of this extremely fallible player.

Was straight sets here last year and cannot see much difference in the scoreline this. Ferrer can't dictate Novak and Novak won't have any trouble breaking Daveed once he's ever broken himself from sloppiness like against Birdshit.

Too much consistent depth/variation, more dominant with carrying the greater edge out of the two cross court battles (Murray wins backhand to backhand), tactically more astute on an outdoor-hardcourt due to the the pace, intimidates the Federer second serve (Inflicting double faults) and is IMO more composed in pressure-cooker situation or atleast has the greater probability of winning points in those moments due to his greater margin for error. (Subconsciously you always tighten up that tiny bit in these moments, so yeah, that better control on backhand in-particular will count)
Murray's a lot more fresh, his tenacity and inner work ethic will throw strain upon Roger causing him to go for too much too soon. Game after game, point after point Murray will be attempting to counter anything offensive Roger throws @ him in his service games, which in a best of 5 set match will take it's tole, mentally more than physically. We'll see backhand's slashed wide with forehands going long and into the net on points following the long rallies won by Andy.
Andy also now a days has the ability to switch it up and eat up anything shallow from Roger on the backhand, stepping in and I'm sure moving inside out to play it back to the backhand so he can put away the easy bunted defensive air-ball by Roger @ the net.
Roger will have to serve ridiculously well on his first serves under pressure and he simply was not doing that today for me.
Crowd factor will be an issue too ofcourse. This is the one slam where Murray is even mildly liked to an extent where he'd receive equal if not marginally more support than Roger. The Australians have taken to his personality, they find him endearing and you can jus gage from his after-match interviews with Courier and Woodbridge that he feels more than home here.
Murray to take it in a match I feel he may actually serve surprisingly well from a first serve perspective. Blend of grind and attack, Roger will ofcourse have his sparks, but it won't be enough.
Murray 3 sets to 1 .. potentially 2.

When Na's in the zone she's in the zone and untouchable on a court that isn't brutally fast. Only an extremely inform Azarenka and a Serena Williams can live with her, that's my opinion. She creates angles, striking the ball with pace and precision, works her opponents around the court and is how you would play a player if you were playing a tennis arcade game.
Azarenka is not playing well and she knows this, that's; why she felt pressured, she is rarely used to being the favourite in finals and what not and this showed against Stephens. Tight because she feels lucky to be in such a privileged position despite not being in form and tight because she is now expected to win. Li could choke, yeah she could choke, but she could have choked today and she didn't. Azarenka has will play with consistent depth and it's up to Li to take control of the rally early. It's going to be tight, but for me, Azarenka's second serve should be eaten up by Li on Saturday.

It was like I'd watched the game in advance and the match shown on our televison broadcasting screens was a repeat. :shrug:
:shrug: Dunno how I diid that? :scared
:0corn Entertaining watch.
:shrug: How I do it. :SIB
Murray underwent an ever so slight tiny momentary choke @ 6-5 30-15 on a slice backhand approach shot. If not for that it wouldn't been done and dusted with in 4 sets.
Credit to all Murray backers and commiserations to the Federer backers that genuinely felt he would win. To the Federer backers who backed him on love and adoration, nothing to you guys.
:toast: to Murray backers. :0074

Take on the final.....
These two player's are the absolute polished product of the teaching's of the very best modern day tennis academy. Let's talk about point construction! The triangular point construction. Cross-court with depth, up-the-line with depth, cross-court with depth, up-the-line with depth, cross-court with depth, up-the-line with depth .. consistently working over their opponent before their opponents submits with an error. (A forced error) This or there is a real opportunity for the player to step in and take the positive initiative in that rally. It's something both guys master and for me, Novak marginally the better. The gap in how good they're @ it particularly increases as a match wears on and we know this is a best of 5 set match.
^This sort of point construction is even more of a prominent factor between these two guys @ the Aussie open, this is because it's more effective to adopt this style on the slower surfaces. We know the Aussie Open courts are somewhat slower than the ones used @ the US Open. It would be hard to imagine it coming down to anything other than who is better @ this. It really is where the battle will be one, for me.
I also feel the inner strength Novak has probably taken from the Wawrinka match will be a factor here, the "invincibility", that feeling, that is hard to break. It's gonna stay with him for sometime yet too.
.....with, however, all this being said.............
I am gonna bet in-play here. I feel many are underestimating Murray and I believe the pre-match price is not the bet to be making. Much more value in-play.
Djokovic to take it but by no-means a formality. No bet pre-match based on the strong opinion I have that this is quite simply no value and actually even, slightly miss-priced.

Extremely tiny bet. 0.23 units. Only one prematch bet for me. More for fun. Murray knows he is facing the best return of server on the planet. He's been serving well. The line is high but so are the odds to hit it.
