fade agassi thursday night or what?

Should probably be it for him tonight. Age factor and other intangibles showed up in round 1, but he was lucky enough to grind out a win.

Tonight he has a tougher opponent ranked top ten in the world.

The line at Pinny right now is -204 and I suppose it opened even lower than that, say around 170 or so.

Goes off Thursday night at 8pm if I'm not mistaken. Where do you think this line is headed?

Will it go up, stay neutral, drop?

Found some action. Pinny has Aggasi at +184 and another joint has Baghdatis at -180.

Going to dip and dabble in that, but should be a halfway decent match.

Baghdatis should probably win, but we don't trust him enough in this spot to warrant a play at that price. To many questionables to make a worthwhile move.

difficult match to bet. Andre needs pain killer shots for heavens sake, couldnt even stand after the Pavel match, the back is a mess. Marcos can certainly unravel with a boisterous New York crowd--if he keeps his cool tho, Andre (with the health problems and poor court movement/coverage) will be in BIG trouble. Marcos will return a lot of balls.

Also, isn't Queens home to a lot of Greeks? i'm assuming Marcos will have his share of loud supporters ( a la Melbourne Park at The Aussie Open).

Will see, should be a good one. Might even have some fireworks in the stands
