Rolland Garros 2009

[Sharei]

Yes radwanksa played bad in last weeks,maybe is good betting against she when playing against solid players

[engineer]

Just backed Wawrinka in-running in the 4th set, he's loosing 3-1 games, took him @8 - 2 pts

[engineer]

And I just undeleted Sharei's post, Win. The guy is sharing his opinion (his English is not the best, indeed), so I don't see anything wrong with his first post. Of course we don't mind a bit more comprehensive previews here.

Stan the Man won the set after losing 4-1 and is down to @1.25 now. Laying my stake off for 13pts profit.

Massu was leading 2:0 but now Koeller battled back. Anyway I still reckon Massu could nick it in the 5th set.

[engineer]

Is anybody watching the Nadal game? This Brazilian is giving him a massive run, isn't he...
Nadal -9, -10 etc backers are in trouble obviously.

[engineer]

Massu did the business, so we move on...

Roitman to beat Melzer @7.6 - 1 pt

Ladies acca:
Pironkova + Schnyder + Govortsova + Penetta - 1.5pts

[engineer]

Meanwhile Wawrinka prevailed in the 5th set

I think he was only posting in here to get the 5 posts he needed to start spamming, Engineer.

I'm getting really bored - and pissed - with players like Wawrinka and Andreev (just two prominent ones among a list of 'em). Still recall his exploits from last year when he came from 2 down to beat James Blake who happens to be totally useless on clay...

They can't seem to do things the easy way and would unnecessarily drag things out to 5 sets ever so often...

Don't blame them, ed. That's what the in-running value seekers need

Thanks, RC, could have missed that, we'll see if he'll be around again.

Cibulkova in the bag too, a close three setter, but a winner

Nice one Engineer Would've backed her myself but for the fact I've already got her on the outright betting.

Most of my bets for today have already started, but my biggest bet of the day is still pending. Have gone for Fognini to beat Andreev. Fognini came through qualifying without dropping a set, and has beaten some decent players on clay in recent months, including Mathieu, Cilic and Berdych.

There are injury doubts over Andreev too, having retired in the Belgrade event earlier this month and then withdrawn from the Madrid Masters.

3pts on Fognini @ 2.6 (that was this morning, although he's since shortened to 2.5)

By the way, good to see you back Edtkh

That's what time-pressed tennis fans don't need, unfortunately... Congrats anyway!

Thought about Fognini myself, but his highly suspect mental fortitude put me off - will never figure how he lost the Masters Series matches to both Murray and Simon (both in Rome) after bossing the games at one point. When you further consider Simon's inaptitude on clay, it just kind of rubs it in.

Nevertheless, good luck - it's 1-6, 6-3, 6-1, 3-2 (on serve) to Andreev as I write and should it ever surprise anyone if this goes the distance a la Wawrinka?
