ok...........well that's not a misprint ...yep 750 on Max Mirnyi :com:
for those of you that follow my plays you would see that for the year I've gambled on more then 175 matches.......and not once have I wagered over 500.........in fact all of last year I never went above 500...........until now:look:
I am in shock at the odds.........I shopped around and I found an absolute crazy line of $2.25 (+125) at a "non sponsor" ......before I saw the odds I thought I'd be lucky to find $1.91 (-110) but $2.25 that's amazing
so yes........going all guns blazin:firing: :scared on MAX MIRNYI:yup
here's why:
*Max is on fire.......just won a tourney and is full of confidence. He's what ya call a streaky player........he's a serve and volleyer with a HUGE serve and when ya mix that in with confidence, the boy is tough to beat.
*This match is played on an Indoor court that is playing very fast....this suits Max
*The only time these two played indoors Max won.
*Schuettler struggled in his first round and an Indoor fast court is not what Schuettler likes.......and he doesn't have a huge serve to fall back on.........
*Revenge.......Max lost to Schuettler last time they played (on his worst surface) now that Max is playing on his fav surface.......he's gonna have some good old fashion revenge on his mind!
Bottom line.............I just can't see Max losing.........no he isn't going to blow him away....but Max will win this match.....everything points to him winning...........:shade:
Good luck everybody...............and oh one more thing.......Kratochvil looks mighty tasty as well
