Man oh Man oh Man.....you have to feel sorry for Mahut.......losing 70-68 in the fifth, talk about a tough loss:scared

Massive props to Mahut for sticking around for the ceremony/presentation. Mahut is devastated.

[kegray1]

FOGNINI down 2 sets comes back to win. :00hour :00hour

3-0 day and one step closer to a Benneteau title.

Julien Benneteau versus Fabio Fognini in Round of 32


Holy shit:scared


The "clay courter" who hates grass but now loves it against the best tennis player to ever live. Epic I tell ya, epic:scared


If Fognini were in the UFC he'd lick his own blood between rounds. Watch out Julien, watch out.

Julien Benneteau versus Fabio Fognini in Round of 32


Holy shit:scared

This is an epic matchup. Finals quality in the round of 32. :0corn

So far one play on Friday morning and yes Kickserv should have known this was coming sooner or later:

Philipp Kohlschreiber(+400) over A-Rod for 50 wins 200.

Amazing these guys have been on the tour for 8 years each and have only played 3 times.
Philipp Kohlschreiber beat A-Rod in a Aussie Open 5 set war in '08.

Roddick beat him at same Austrailian Open in '05 in 4 sets.
Roddick beat him in '03 as well.

I am assuming the odds are so high because A-Rod's name and his power on grass makes a difference.

One thing oddsmakers are not taking into account.


A-ROD BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kickserv]

shocker you'd pick against Roddick....big time shocker.

 

[kegray1]

shocker you'd pick against Roddick....big time shocker.

What can I say. I like winning cash.

A some point in every tournament betting against Roddick =

bad June 24th for kickserv:sadwave:

I can only lead a mule to water. I can't make him drink it.

Friday odds:
De Bakker -175
Isner +155

Not sure what to make of it. Isner is the play on talent level however energy and the blisters might catch up to him.

Any thoughts on this doggy on Friday:
Mathieu +330 vs. Youzhny???

I know Mathieu was solid on grass in '07 & '08 but his game in 2010 has been down right awful.

I was gonna try him but stopped after looking at his stats in 2010. This is only the 2nd time in 8 tourneys this year to get out of the 1st round. Not good.

 

[kickserv]

I never bet against Youzhny, guy is a fucking stud.

 

[kegray1]

Going with 3 plays on Friday:

Philipp Kohlschreiber(+400) over A-Rod for 50 wins 200. - Already explained this one.

Gael Monfils(+225) over Hewitt for 50 wins 112.50. - Monfils is 3-1 H2H vs Hewitt. Hewitt beat him in '04. I know Hewitt's grass history, but the odds are too nice.

Victor Hanescu(-120) over Daniel Brands for 60 wins 50. - I think these odds are lower than they should be just because of Brands win over Davydenko. Fact is Brands was 2-8 these year in matches entering Wimbledon against competition no better than Hanescu other than a loss to Tsonga.

[kegray1]

I guess I should have tried Mathieu. 1 set to win +330. :shrug:

Also Isner gas tank was on "E" today.

Monfils passion and energy is not up to par in the first set.

 

[kegray1]

Mathieu takes down Youz at +330 and I didn't play after talking about it. :facepalm:

 

[kegray1]

I had no idea how bad Monfils leg was.
It clearly bothered him this match and it looked awful. :facepalm:

0-1 today, at least I got a play against Roddick still to come.

 

[kickserv]

Well so much for my two prop bets:jerkit:

Got the over in the Bartoli match though. Hope Victor Hanescu gets it done.

 

[kegray1]

That lucky little bitch wins the first set.

God Roddick sucks.

One of the most overrated athletes in sports.
