Read what I wrote again....came off sounding like a dick or even worse a Canadian...,sorry just talking aloud

I gotcha, no big deal to me.
You have more knowledge on those guys(Verdasco and Gulbis) I was just throwing out the info. that I had looked up regarding the line. Cheers and I am not Canadian but I wish I had residence there as a way to access more options if you know what I mean. :toast:

Big serve just like isner querry and a host of others who don't have the footwork to crack top 10....with most courts slower these days these players will struggle...he's transitioning with dropping old coach....he's young enough to turn it around...but to mention him in the category of joker, gulbis, or Tsonga would be criminal.

yes...that's makes sense and fits what i see. but he was better like 12-18 months ago than he is now. that's what's confusing. i distinctly recall a match against federer which he lost only because federer hit a few incredible pickups right as his (fed's) feet off raonic returns. he's nowhere near the player that one was. he seems to have gone backwards on his ground strokes. he seems less confident. he doesn't seem to have a clear plan like he used to.

those big guys always get exposed as mechanical or animatronic by the very best - think anderson and raonic. but raonic seemed to me to be more fluid and with better precision and tougher mentality than your average big server. AND he has, as you point out, age on his side. but now, he just seems at sea. maybe he's just going through a phase of growth and consolidation, maturing. and he'll come out the other side with maturity, a good coach, a solid knowledge of what it takes to play top ten tennis...and get back to rising. but right now, he's just off.

kudla does much better. 1 game in first set. gets to tiebreak in second, loses at 4. he's learning as he goes, real smart player. just has to get a little more consistent, a little better, and he will. Dodig is playing well these days, not an easy opponent.

very intersting point in the match. kudla down 16 67. start third, kudla gets a bunch of bp, all saved by excellent dodig serves. then dodig gets screwed on line call to give kudla the adv and another bp. and kudla takes it. now we'll see how good dodig's head is. dodig complains a lot to umpire; shows me that he realizes how thin his advantage over kudla is.

have books lost their mind

they deserve to go broke. when the offshores all shut down in 2 days and can't pay anyone, don't ask where it came from.

gulbis only -125 vs verdasco

free money....they deserve to go belly up

So is this an all-in type bet, or should I just wager 50%?

He doesn't have quite the sex appeal of Tsonga, but he does have a certain mysterious physique that is intriguing. I could be a fan.

U of all people know I practice disciplined money management....but I do like the play a lot.

As for his looks compared to Tsonga, I would put the ranking order of:

1. Me
2. Tsonga
3. Gulbis


But I would put gulbis slightly ahead of me in Tsonga in tennis ability at the moment

He has been letting the stubble in lately though

It's bowl of dicks and u certainly aren't licensed to use my put downs. You need to come original or pay the licensing fee


I have been saying "go eat a bag of dicks" all the way back in Grade 7. Told my gym teacher to "go eat a bag of dicks"

So you owe me money.

Question guys...I took Guilbus for $50 at 100-1 odds before Wimbledon started...do I start taking other side or do you feel confident tomorrow and the next rounds. I would love to let it ride but at some pt lock in some cash.
