Conchita Martinez -170 over Amy Fraizer

Conchita has an 8-3 advantage in the battle of 31 yr olds, Amy hasnt played since US Open, and with the match being in Europe, I look for Conchita to out athletic her as always.


Ivan Lubjicic -135 over Wayne Ferriera


Wayne hasnt done squat since won at UCLA in July, Ivan won this tourney 2 years ago and is very much inform right now.

 

[GreenDoberman]

oh and 2 rail, both tough losses though.

 

[Railbird]

Miaklean +280

Home dog, and she beat Myskina and Maleeva in this tourney last yr, and if its not going well, Mikalena has no promblem siting her wrist or back, so a free roll here.

Suarez +120

She drummed Hantchnova 0 and 2 2 months ago in sandiego, and is much more stable mentally.

Danildou +190

eleni is over her health promblems finally, and Schnyder has not been playing well, the reason Patty is big price is she is defending champion

Safin +130

I dont see what Jonas can do to hurt Marat here, and he has a 5-1 edge, Marat does everything better, and he seems to be physically healed.

 

[Railbird]

I dont feel I have my "A" game like last week, but should show a profit today.

 

[jurdo]

GL rail, went with 3 of those girls plays already, oh whoops, thought you had srebotnik too, won easy at +220.

 

[Railbird]

Steve,

MAry def'd, so depends I guess. Suarez came through. Male Russinas went 0-4 in 1st round. Youhzny,Kafelnikov,Safin, and Davydenko all taking dumps.

 

[Railbird]

Robredo +140
Zvornera -265
Gambill +180
Petrova +175

 

[GreenDoberman]

Rail,
Why the Gambill pick? He's had horrible form and he beat Davydenko, who's barely shown up all year. Schalken is pretty solid.
I'm sure you know more than me, but just curious as to reasoning.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Youzhny was the one that hurt me, was up 6-1, then loses two 6-4 sets. Thought he'd have a much better showing, but I guess I should have known better to bet against a Spaniard in Madrid.

 

[Railbird]

Green,


My tour sources are telling me than Jan Mike was too bulked up, he was looking like a football player, but has since has loosened up his body a little, and is playing much better, Jan Mike has a good serve and a good return, Schalken has been shakey the last month, I have no idea how Shejng got in the top 10 with that retarded sissy serve of his, and he lost 6-1,6-3 to an 18 yr old kid as a 11-1 fav at Krem cup.

 

[Railbird]

also I forgot to play Genepri, but I think he punks Shuettler off the ground, I like Robbie as a dog, because he can get hot hitting winners.

 

[Railbird]

Jan Mike wins 7-6,6-2
Nadia P wins 7-6,6-3
Zvornerawins 6-3,7-5
The fish wins 7-6,6-3

+3.4 on day

 

[Railbird]

2 pretty strong female plays here


Bovina -170 over Suarez

Suarez beat Bovina at Carson on slow hard 3mos ago and in the heat in 3 hard sets, Bovina is playing much better now, and Suarez 1st go back since OPen. Bovina was very bitter she lost that day. She will get it done here.


Tina Pisnik +165 over Ai Sugiyama


Tina is a bulldog, and is clearly playing the best tennis of her life, Ai is 28 yr old who is a burnout, but is ranked 11 in world so that makes her a 185 chalk here. Ai also had some issue with her finger 2 weeks ago

 

[GreenDoberman]

Rail,
that makes more sense and I'd have to agree with that, I knew that Gambill hadn't played in awhile, but in this case it was a good layoff.

BTW, did you see Lindsay isout for year with foot, you were on this months ago!

 

[braves112299]

If Massu can hold on. Gonna let it ride probably on Bovina. If she wins any thoughts Novak over Chela a match I think he should have no prob with or Moya over Lopez. Really like em both. Just hope Massu can hold on for my biggest dog win ever.

GL

 

[Railbird]

Pisnik wins 6-2 in the 3rd and Bovina wins 6-4,6-3.

 

[Railbird]

dawg,

didnt see your post in time, but I agree with those 2, Moya doesnt want to let Lopez in yet.

 

[Railbird]

I am also not suprised to see Shynder win as a 3-1 home dog.

 

[Railbird]

I like defending champion and native Shyder -120 over Pisnik
I also like World #1 Juan Carlos Ferrero in his home country of Madrid,Spain at -165 to beat Paradorn Schrihiphan, JC takes folks wide on his backhand and Paradorn has a suspect backhand, and the Lefty Shynder too advance in her match. I hope to continue my domination.

 

[Railbird]

My personal domination continues

Ferrero 6 6
PShriphan 2 4
