playing:

amalgro -175 vs robredo


Ferrer advancing but getting a lot of help from his opponents - harrison looks like he is playing with a lot of confidence and might not give away as many points as Tomic and Matosevic did - still thinking Ferrer's recent schedule will catch up to him at some point in this tourney

wow what a freaking tank job by Harrison after he won the 1st set - double f'ing bagels? must wipe some of the good taste that he had from a solid week out of his mouth

had more on Almagro and also played the set line on Harrison at +120 so a positive day overall


good seeing Rfed take down the world #1 earlier today, he played at a higher level all week

Not sure if you watched it, but Harrison played a really great first set. He went shot for shot with Ferrer from the baseline and then when he lost his serve to start set 2 his tiny brain imploded like it usually does and he lost belief. Just a matter of time. Kids still really young at 22 even though it seems like he's been playing forever. Decent enough future.

Can't wait to see his odds for Roland Garros.

I did watch it and I thought Harrison had his moments in the 1st but I felt like the 1st set had a lot more to do with Ferrer playing poorly than Harrison playing well - Ferrer had something like 19 unforced errors in the set

either way you're right the mind-fuck that Harrison performed on himself after the 1st was monumental - to be fair Ferrer's play turned around to the point where he started playing well instead of poorly, but not 6-0 6-0 well that's for sure


have watched/monitored more tennis this week than I can remember in a long time

I was obviously wrong about Ferrer feeling the effects of a long week - he seems to be on a serious mission to climb the rankings after his recent slip - were his arms that big last year? seems to be a little bigger than I remember


also, Monaco match was a bit of a war yesterday (on top of 3-setter on Friday I think) while Rafa got through easily - wonder what the Argentine will have left in the tank for today's final? the crowd will be squarely behind him but he also seems to lack the big-time ability to finish points on clay

game line @ 6 - would have to think that is a pretty good number
