Cornell Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Re: Tennis W/C 9th November Gael Monfils v Radek Stepanek Well, if yesterday against Marin Cilic was a very difficult game for Monfils then today against Radek Stepanek will going to be without any doubts more easy. I said more easy because Cilic has played some great tennis yesterday and I doubt that Stepanek can play at the same level. The Czech man have been lucky so far as he has played against opponents which didn't played their best tennis: Murray and Del Potro, so IMO at the moment Stepanek is overrated. Now to add something about the style of playing, well Stepanek is a serve-and-volley specialist, he has great touches at the net while Monfils is great from the back with great retrieving skills. A great baseliner will always have an advantage against a serve-and-volley player, Monfils has already won twice against Stepanek and lost one game by retirement. I see a clear advantage in style for Monfils here as he should be the most difficult type of player for Stepanek. Monfils is just the better player than Stepanek and he has clear an advantage in style here, he also has the advantage of playing at home so IMO he should be clear the favourite to win this one. Good Luck! Pick: Monfils 2-0 at 3.22 with Pinnacle 10 units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Re: Tennis W/C 9th November Sport Tennis Event Novak Djokovic v Gael Monfils Selection Novak Djokovic -1.5 sets Strength 10/10 Date 15/11/2009 Bookmaker/Price Paddy Power @ 1.80 (Back) Reasoning Can't see many problems for Djokovic in this final. Monfils struggled with the pressure in the semi final, and might be a bit flat after that effort. Djokovic really played excellent against Nadal, I was surprised by how good he was. He's a real winner, and now as it's a final has to have big edge over Monfils. Think this will be straight sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Re: Tennis W/C 9th November My first tennis bet after some quite long period is over 21.5 games @ 1,85 in Paris final.(3/10) Djokovic should take this game,judging by his performance here he really deserves the title.All the pressure is now on the Serb and because of that I expect him to struggle a bit in front of the french crowd. Monfils should give a decent fight and with the luck on his side to win one tie-break!!if he loose it,a 6-3 win for Nole in the other game will be enough for this bet to be a winner. Good luck all!

nkdz Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Re: Tennis W/C 9th November Djokovic (-1.5 sets) @ 1.80 I expectected such odds after yesterdays performance by Nole. He finally showed that he is more than a decent no1 material, even Nadal admitted that he had no chance yesterday. Monfils struggled with Steps a lot, he had 5-4 and was serving for match in 2nd set but lost that set and had to play third. Frenchman was good yesterday, but Stepanek is not Djokovic. Nole is a big, big favourite in this match and he should win this in two sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Re: Tennis W/C 9th November Man Djokovic was such a chump in that 2nd set. 1.01 matched during it and he messed it up:sad. No tennis apart from challenger next week so I'm going away:lol. Back for Masters Cup in London. Oh yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
