Time to bet on Verdasco , cant trust Isner to win this anymore , his stats are getting worse and Verdasco is break up already in the 2nd set after losing first one 4-6 . If this goes 1-1 sets I dont like Isner's chances at all , he is known for running out of gas .

where are you, happy?

damn Happy you are good sir, anything for today?

Other than Murray + Serena I don't really see anything solid today . Tsonga vs Gonzalez anything can happen in this one and Nadal vs Monfils same because Nadal isn't 100 % but still he is a true champion that finds ways to win close matches .

Murray just lost the first set 5-7 .

Murray lost 3:0 sets , 75.00 odds for this

Last minute play for action , didn't have a bet whole day . Both always come out guns blazing , dont see any problem for either holding 4 times .

Also laying Nadal not to win 3:0 , and Monfils to win the match for in-play trading .

Looks like it's going to be another 6-3 set , Gonzalez got back from 0-40 to ADV but lost 3 points in a row again .

Last two today

Serena means business and has to win in 2 sets to save energy for 1/2 against Kim . Pennetta should have went out in the previous round if Zvonareva had any brains , wasting 6 matchpoints in the 2nd set . I dont see Serena messing around , her serve was insane in the previous rounds and I can see something like 3-6 4-6 here .

Rafael Nadal vs Gael Monfils

My pick is NOT RAFAEL NADAL 3:0 SETS

Odds : - 260

Where : betfair

13 units to win 5 units


I think Monfils will win this match or lose very close maybe 2:3 sets , will trade during the match starting with Nadal lay .

Freely admitting how wrong I was. Nadal trading at -220 vs Monfils on sportsbook and I imagine you can get better elsewhere. So maybe there was some value overall (seeing as Murray laid down) Just proves once again that I know nothing.

Nadal wont beat Del Potro if he manages to win tonight .

Got on Gonzalez at evens over Tsonga , Gonzalez much better player , Tsonga is all hit or miss and when he doesnt get a lot of first serves in Gonzalez wins points most of the time on 2nd serve .

Got Nadal at 12/1 outright which was the highest it went on betfair for max at ~350$. He was 12.5 nealy all day yesterday though, and only dropped to the 8-10 range after Murray lost. It's also good if Gonzalez wins since Tsonga should pose a greater threat to Nadal on deco turf imo. Del Potro vs. Nadal is pretty even imo, I don't think Del Potro should be such a fav. even with the Nadal's injury... his last two wins don't prove that much.

Great performance by Nadal , amazing quality in the first 2 sets , best match on hardcourts I've seen in ages , atleast the two sets but Monfils clearly ran out of gas at the end .
Gonna stop betting on over 9.5 games in the first sets , three times in a row I've lost on 3-6 sets .

Kateryna Bondarenko vs Yanina Wickmayer

My pick is Kateryna Bondarenko to win

Odds : 1.67

Where : unibet

10 units to win 6.7 units


I see no reason for not betting on Bondrenko once again after easy 6-0 6-0 last round at - 120 . First of all those two have met 3 weeks ago on similar surface and Bondarenko has won 7-6 6-2 .
Basically Bondarenko was better in every category but first serve % , not surprised at all tho , Wickmayer likes to keep her first serve percentage way over 65% which makes her first serves less effective the way she takes the pace off and tries to land as many first serves in as possible .
Huge difference on both 1st and 2nd serve points won , 13% difference on 1st and 20% difference on 2nd serve points won ! This pretty much should sum up who is the better player of the two , also Wickmayer was very bad in her previous match against Kvitova and only countless unforced errors from Kvitova got her through . Hopefully Bondarenko doesn't crumble under pressure , she is the better player of the two .

Keep it up, happy!!!!

B. Bryan/M. Bryan vs L. Dlouhy/L. Paes

Who will win games 7 and 8 in the 1st set ?

My pick is ONE GAME EACH

Odds : 1.60

Where : betandwin

3 units to win 1.8 units and 3 units to win 1.8 units

Was just looking at live coupon on betandwin and found this gem .

LOL , interesting odds , considering Bryans haven't been broken at all in 4 matches and Dlouhy with Paes are a very solid team as well , cant see many breaks in this match especially not in the first set . Just need 4 holds between game 5 and 8 to cash both .

Hey HappyGuy, do you see any value in taking Verdasco for a 3.4? He won against a strong Haas and had a good game against Isner.

Thanks for your thoughts

Haas was all over him and should have won easily if he wasn't such a headcase and beating Isner is nothing special at all , just because another limited player like Roddick has lost to him doesn't mean much .
Djokovic should win but odds are way too low , I will be waiting for atleast 1.50 in-play .

Ok thanks. Agreed with Isner. Just thinking the match will be way closer than the odds say.

Max Mirnyi/Andy Ram vs Mahesh Bhupathi/Mark Knowles

My pick is Max Mirnyi/Andy Ram to win

Odds : 2.5

Where : sportingbet

3 units to win 4.5 units


This is really a 50/50 match , I feel like Max and Andy have a slight edge here , even tho they have lost twice to them in the last month , which worries me a little bit but they have won the previous 2 meetings so head to head is tied at 2-2 . I remember their match in Washington month ago and Bhupathi with Knowles have won 7-6(6) 2-6 10-7 , Max and Andy had several chances to win the first set , won 2nd easily and decider is always a lottery . This time they will play with ADV rules and no 10 points 3rd set decider which makes it very even match . In my opinion Andy and Max are better players but all 4 are very experienced so this might be very close and decided in tiebreaks .

Unreal ... loses first set 5-7 and then 4-1 up , breakpoint for 5-1 two breaks up lead , doesn't convert , 4-2 , loses her own serve 4-3 , 15-40 and has 2 breakpoints again for 5-3 lead and loses 4 points in a row 4-4 , gets broken once again 4-5 and 4-6 loss , gotta love that pathetic performance losing 5 games in a row .

I think I have followed your picks 3 times now (followed you on Bondarenko today). I am 0-3 so I guess I am just some sort of jinx or something.

Lol

I was praying she would convert that breakpoint for 5-1 lead and set would have been over , wasted her chances on 15-40 as well for 5-3 lead and could have served for the set . Hopefully Verdasco and Wozniacki win later .
Wasted possible profit from outright market trading with that loss :-/

Who are you guys betting on Oudin or Wozniacki ?
I feel like Oudin's run is going to end tonight , Wozniacki is not known for a lot of unforced errors and that's how Oudin has won her matches so far .

i would LOVE for her to win but i don't see that happening for the exact reasons you stated..
