okay, as the grand finale did this
$1,050.00 | $1,134.00 | Pending | 9/13/15 4:30pm ATP Tennis 102 Roger Federer +108* vs Novak Djokovic |
this is an if bet out of the 1H under.
if under hits, then rolls into Fed.
I have a theory (not really a theory, but whatever) that I call "the cumulative energy theory". It explains Fed's loss to Murray in the gold medal match after his 2012 Wimbledon win... and also his following 2012 USO loss to Berdych. It is the undercurrent in the system which is sustained by a reservoir of energy. As with anything, when it approaches levels of depletion... the obvious outcomes result.
Fed got obliterated in the gold medal match... but this was on the heels of the 2012 Wimbledon win and the emotion of the Olympics. He was almost destined to lose that match. Then the carry over effect to the 2012 USO vs Berdych.
The reason why I bring this up is b/c Djok is suffering from a similar fate..... finals in the AO, the FO and finally Wimbldn. He was lethargic and almost ill during the Canada/Cincy campaign.... and he has been off during this USO. It is the physical, emotional, psychological strain.... expressed in a cumulative manner that has him off. I also believe this is part of the explanation for why his success at the USO has been somewhat muted.
If Fed serve doesn't vanish vs Djok (and there have been times when it has almost completely disappeared.. and this not based on Djok's returning prowess), then I strongly favor Fed. Something simply tells me that Djok will wither in this match.
Anyways... UNDER.... and then FED.
