Tennis - Paris

[alb]

If it was me, I would wait until last minute and back to break even on Lubbie and profit on Berdych. I haven't seen any major books with prices yet but I really think they will be ridiculous on Lubbie...maybe -300. I mean....yea Lubbie's serve is currently awesome but he actually looked a bit tired in his last two matches and the final is a best of 5.

I should have told you to back Ljubicic to win the tournament at +137 before the Roddick match as 'the hedge' but I didn't do it until 5 minutes before the off. I was kind of looking at the semi victories as my guarantee profit for the tournament.

I'm surprised Anders or Kick haven't thrown in their 2cents as they are the Tennis dudes. They may not have had the TV coverage though.

As expected, Roddick in pain and is not chasing any balls....I'm not use to seeing him play like this. It's hard to believe he made it to the semi-final! Lubbie is already up 3-0 and cruising. Roddick may retire but I hope they get a set in first!

roddick is a puss, ljubicic would have beaten roddick even if roddick was healthy..give roddick a script and an oscar instead of a raquet

I guess he's been taking lessons from his actress chick (ex maybe?) Amanda Moore.

The good news is Ljubicic's tiredness is really showing today (Berdych up 2-0). That said, I'll take 4/1 (live-betting) that he makes the very unlikely comeback just to lock in a bit extra.

Thank goodness the oddsmakers obviously have been looking at what's on paper instead of what's been going on the court throughout the tournament.
