If the choker has to win sometime then why are you playing against Roddick? :142smilie

Kick good call on Chardy over Gulbis up 2 sets to 0. I liked it but didn't pull the trigger.
Got to focused of Cuevas and wanted to put more on him but it was too early in the tournament and I am trying to slow down my wagers.

Cuevas up 2 sets to 0. :00hour

It is HOT in NY :

:0066

Someone big will blow it in the heat.
Hoping it is Isner.

 

[kegray1]

Cuevas is a winner. :00hour

Into the the positive for the tournament for me.

1-1 +75

Easy win with Cuevas kegray, well done:SIB

Lost on my parlay, and with the big doggy Alicia Molik

But won with the +205 Jeremy Chardy selection:00hour

 

[kegray1]

Also your parlay looks like it might get beat by these:

Two pics you can count on in a major thread is Benneteau and Halep's cans. :142smilie

 

[kickserv]

1) Parlay already lost

2) She had the breast reduction surgery so they are quite a bit smaller now.

 

[kegray1]

Gonna burn my 100 winnings from Cuevas on some overs:

Troicki/Djokovic(over 33 games) -125 for 62.50 wins 50. -- He at will pay a toll on Djok and should go longer than needed.

Benneteau/Stepanek(over 39.5 games) -116 for 58 wins 50.

Also played:
Viktor Troicki over Djok +600 for 10 wins 60.

 

[kegray1]

1) Parlay already lost

2) She had the breast reduction surgery so they are quite a bit smaller now.

The image is always there for me when she plays.

melon smash

[kegray1]

I had a serious eye on Clement over Bags as well but went away when I saw how Baghdatis had handled him in the past.
I am not a big Bags guy and +600 looked tasty.
Also Bags has been playing solid of late.

 

[kegray1]

Added one more as I have way more out there than I want but already sitting up +75 so taking shots:

Added:

Kristof Vliegen(+205) over James Blake for 50 wins 102.50 -- LOSER -50
Here is my Tuesday list of current plays:

Frederico Gil (+424) over John Isner for 40 wins 169.60

Fabio Fognini (+505) over Fernando Verdasco for 20 wins 101

Troicki/Djokovic(over 33 games) -125 for 62.50 wins 50. WINNER +50

Benneteau/Stepanek(over 39.5 games) -116 for 58 wins 50. Tough LOSER -58

Viktor Troicki over Djok +600 for 10 wins 60. LOSER -10

 

[kegray1]

Djokovic looks beat down from the heat already.
He might go down today.

Won the 1st set but trails 3-0 in 2nd and he looks like the sun is bothering him.

 

[kegray1]

Troicki/Djokovic :0corn

1 set each and over 33 is looking awesome now. 30 games minimum so just need 4 games in two sets to the loser.

Troicki +600 :0corn Too bad I only put 10 on it because Djokovic is reeling in the heat.

 

[Jimboski]

and I thought I was using my brains when I played this one

I don't know if it started or not.. but whatever is going on out there - I liked this play too.

Pablo rolled is what happened. :00hour

Now need a few doggies to bite.
Fognini is tasty.

I sat on some dogs I liked today and they won.
Liked Chardy and Clement and didn't play.
Should have done like 20 or something on them.
Clement was +600

 

[kegray1]

Troicki breaks Djok in 3rd. :00hour

Djok is in trouble today boys.

US Open: 0-1 -1.00 units

Chanelle Scheepers +177 2 units


How can these be the odds for this match when Chanelle Scheepers beat Akgul Amanmuradova only a few weeks ago on the hard courts of WTA San Diego in the a three set match in the qualifying tournament? Scheepers lost to Na Li in the first round of Wimbledon but she pushed Li to a tiebreaker in the first set and actually played well. That was coming off her shocking fourth round appearance at the French Open where she won six matches as a qualifier and managed to beat Amanmuradova there as well. So now mentally Scheepers has a big advantage over Amanmuradova and I expect it to continue here. Amanmuradova also failed to advance past the first round at both Wimbledon and the Australian Open this year and she is 0-1 lifetime in first round matches at the US Open. Scheepers has never played in the main draw of this tournament but she is 24-17 on hard courts over the course of the last year, she has proven to be comfortable on this surface and she won a Fort Walton ITF tournament on hard courts in the United States back in March. Having won two straight against Amanmuradova in 2010 I think Scheepers completes the hat trick in this one.

For those of you who watched Monfils-Kendrick yesterday,Steve Tignor wrote an excellent piece on his blog about it yesterday.
