i think verdasco blew a 2 sets to lead vs tomic at the AO a few years ago when he looked well in command...anything is still possible with these guys

big drop on ferrer, similar drop on monaco proved correct as he's upset by de schepper

i was surprised how high the line was on ferrer

ferrer has played some dirtballers close this far

the dog is crafty and could finally be ferrer's end , not gonna play it but not surprised if dolgo wins it

also wouldnt be surprised if ferrer smacks him

dolg has had a terrible year. no way i'd take him over ferrer. on other hand, won on ferrer yesterday, and watched that match very closely. ferrer missed a lot of shots he normally makes easily. in my experience, big line drops like this generally do mean something. i got ferrer in a parlay, i'm leaving it alone because i just don't ultimately believe dolg can keep the ball on the court enough to beat ferrer in three sets of five. basically, you're trying to break a trend if you bet on dolg, and i've had enough losses trying that for this year. but that drop is ??

drops are right and wrong, i don't read too much into them...

if tomic gets his head right, this guy is gonna be a tough out...a big dude that can junk ball, nice backhand, potential for big serve, and just frustrating to play

on a side note, tomic with 3 break points at 0 40 to win the 2nd , he dives for a volley when he didnt need to, and gasquet serves and volleys on two of the points to hold...and then tomic proceeds to get broken, brutal

U win some u lose some but long term is all that matters....if people practiced management it's never an issue

Verdasco just served too well today

It's my opinion the biggest difference between player ranked 5-50 is upstairs. Tomic is a mental midget just like gulbis can be..

No one wants to remember the fed of 12 years ago where he was a prick and prima Donna and broke raquets on the court and was an ass.

Then he figured it out...I'm sure in the next few years a couple other of these guys will too. But I don't think Tomic is one of them...his dad scarred him for life....but Agassis dad was the same way an he got it and eventually forgave his dad so u never know..I suspect Tomic hates tennis just like Agassi did.

could be, lots of talk about how much tomic misses his Dad out there, not sure if he'd be saying that if it was the same kind of tennis relationship aggasi had with his dad

and im hoping bernie can pull this set out in a tb, and just thankful he didn't fold after that 2nd set debacle
