2009 Tennis Picks

Frankinho · Feb 9, 2009

I might, I have been attending them the last couple of years, so why not again this year. I just need to find some time.

2-4 (-1.15)
Record: 37-57-1 (+7.06)

Melzer choked. De Bakker was a mental midget. Youzhny rightfully won but he was worth a fade. Serra comes through in 3 tight sets. Vassallo comes through in a marathon too. Poor treble on my part for including Lapentti.

Pending plays. Brasil Open plays are for tonight, rest are for tomorrow. Will probably have a couple more soon.

Adding one more pay for tonight in Brasil:
J Acasuso o J Monaco @ 2.21 @ Pinnacle (1 unit)

Can be tough to trust someone whose just made the final of a tournament, and had one day to travel/rest. However, he leads the H2H 3-0. Monaco is in horrendous form, and often struggles against the very aggressive types. Chucho looked impressive last week. He made the final of Buenos Aires last year, and turned up to Acapulco a couple of days later, winning 3 matches against decent opposition, and losing to the eventual champ Almagro in 3 sets. I hope he can maintain that same kind of intensity tonight.

CAP-IT-OFF · Feb 11, 2009

Wow you have a shot in winning Bolelli over Nadal. Nadal is having a hard time getting his first serves in and Bolelli is doing well on his serve.

A Martin o N Devilder @ 2.00 @ SkyBet (1 unit) W +1

5-5 (+2.45)
Record: 45-63-1 (+11.37)

Llodra has an impressive comeback from a set and a break down. Kohli was horrendous mentally, a huge choke to lose the first set. Youzhny comes through in 3. Bolelli runs Rafa close. Tsonga had too much class for Huta, mentally. Machado choked. Acasuso is on fire. Gil and Martin come through in good fashion.

A bit more luck and it could have been an incredible day rather than a good one. Hopefully tomorrow!
