Record YTD: 79-50, 61% (+29.77 units)
Going on vacation this week so won't be back posting picks until next Sunday. Probably won't be able to get a pick in tomorrow, but I would say pick Kiefer +5, assuming that's the number. Kiefer played him pretty tough at Wimbledon the first two rounds and this is Nadal's worst surface (even though he's in the finals). I wouldn't be surprised if Kiefer took a set, or at least took one to a tiebreak.
I'm happy with how July went and hope to continue the same way in August. I'll probably set up a new thread for August, but will keep a running record of coarse.
Cincinnati should be a good tournament, and we have a Simon/Kiefer rematch in the first round, with the winner facing Blake (you know he's praying for Simon). Look for Federer to win next week though, as I'd be willing to bet he's on top of his game and he has a fairly easy draw to the semis and again has Nadal and Novak on the opposite side of the bracket.
Good luck this week guys.
