Thursday
I've had a tough go of it thus far. Looking to get things turned around starting with today's plays.
Marion Bartoli -185 5 units(2.70) -- Safarova has not won a third round Grand Slam match since French Open 2007 and was handled rather easily by Bartoli in their last encounter, losing 6-0 6-3.
David Ferrer +140 2 units(2.8) -- Cilic has impressed, for sure, but has not fared well against top competition. Last season, he was just 2-6 against Top 10 players. Ferrer should be able to stay in this with his defense. He barely worked up a sweat agianst an exhausted Hrbaty and that should allow him to call upon the energy needed here in what should be at least a four set match.
Giles Muller +900 .5 unit(4.5) -- Del Potro should not be laying this number to anybody quite yet. He has seen a meteoric rise up the rankings over the last nine months, but Muller is no slouch. Muller outlasted Lopez in a marathon match and battled nerves against hometown favorite Tomic to win in four sets. The fatigue factor will be in play for both players as Del Potro has played fifteen sets of tennis in his last eight days. Small play.
? Not that I should talk (then again I'm not a pro athlete).
