Anybody wondering why Nadal opened so short in this clash against Monfils? Seems like bettors have certainly taken the bait, or was it early value? Monfils was only +140 last night and now I can get him at +175. That initial line was a head scratcher to me. :shrug: Normally I'd be inclined to take Monfils on that alone, but betting against Rafa is difficult for me to do. Visions of that Australian Open final v. Federer dancing in my head...too much grit, will, and determination. But is his fitness all there? With Gael's unbelievable court coverage it's sure to be tested. Any other thoughts on the nightcap match?
