pakelly Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Would still recommend it. It's just a bit more cover. Obviously Pinny took a big bet on Istomin -2.5 games. Took the +3 so :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istomin's going to come at him like a steam train in Lacko's next service game. Gutsy guy though, that's why I like him. I'll like him even more if he can get to four games. Come on the Slovak.

Psycho Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Marcos Baghdatis -4vs Juan Ignacio Chela. 1.98 @ Pinnacle (6/10) Baghdatis in unbelievable form at the moment and it's hard to seem him not getting past Chela. The Argentine played poorly against Young but came through in 3 sets. He was broken 4 times out of 8 and this sort of performance won't be good enough against in-form Baghdatis. I see comfortable win for the Cypriot here. -4 games handicap is my choice in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atko Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August what are the thoughts on the Dog? Should take care of Blake surely? I think opinions are divided on that match. A few of us are on Dolgopolov, including myself, while Psycho and a few others are on Blake. Dolgopolov is another I like because he's gutsy and hangs in there when things aren't going his way. Blake likes it here - has won twice in the past - but recent form has been atrocious. He spanked Pere Riba on Monday but there's no real form to take out of that, it was the Spaniard's first ever match on a hard court on the main Tour. I think Dolgopolov's got what it takes to beat him, it's a question of whether he wants it. Don't buy the clay courter line as he's proven in the last few weeks he can play on hard, taking sets off Tomas Berdych and David Ferrer and beating Mikhail Youzhny. He's got it on his racket, it's just a question of motivation. I have a feeling he'll do it, but you could make a case for Blake too.

From a betting perspective, that's another thing you could label against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyMcfizzle Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Omg what is Blake doing! No motivation whatsoever. Leaving balls which are a few cm away from him. This game is gonna be over quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmGooner Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Mattek-Sands, what a trap that was. 1.8 favourite against a player a few levels above her, albeit in bad form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August If Blake can't find a motivation in his favorite tournament then he really is done. The only thing I like and always liked about him is that he can hit winners on serve return. Some of those are amazing. Other than that he's rubbish.

CurlyMcfizzle Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Yeh, on some shots it's like there's a glimmer of hope. And then he just gives up. Hopefully he will win the second and I will be able to trade out. Can't trust him enough to win the 3rd. Broken in the second now, not looking good lol :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atko Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August Crazy odds on Golubev - 1.60 holds no value whatsoever. Didn't even qualify for the Masters events in Cincy and pulled out injured against Fognini - not sure how fit he is. Gabashvili's having a decent year although generally playing at a lower level than Golubev and can be dangerous from the ground; however' date=' he's extremely erratic. Not a match I'd want to get involved in at all.[/quote'] @ wayneparr3, please tell me you didn't go for it. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August No, he can't even hit a decent forehand. He really is done atm. And at age of 30 really can't see him getting any motivation for the next season to play qualies, because that's what's gonna happen to him. Wild cards won't be there forever. Should retire for good now. We don't need players like that on tour :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atko Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Re: Tennis - 23-29 August I say this every time I bet on him and I'll say it again. Dolgopolov is going to be SOME player. It's all there with him. Got me out of a wee hole again. Well played young sir. Nobody will want to play this guy at the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
