WILL THE ATLANTIS BE LAUNCHED BEFORE SEPT 7TH
[1] YES-WILL BE LAUNCHED -105 (betcris)

I am a sucker for these props. The launch is scheduled for 12:29pm. By launching early afternoon, they hope to avoid afternoon storms. So I am saying yes the launch will take place on the 6th.

2.1/2

Three reasons for square play of the day here on Berdych.
1. Height advantage
2. Age advantage
3. fading Blake (again)

Berdych +153 (pinny)
1/1.5

good luck amigos

I'm guessing an epic 5 setter. They match up very evenly. Crowd might give the advantage to Blake.

304 P. Schnyder -250 (pinny)

It's late Friday. Have no idea who her opponent is. From what I have seen of Patty, she has a mind for the game.

2.5/1


Will start a new thread if I ever get to 100 posts.

One square special coming right up.

WTA China Open - Beijing
Round 1
J. Craybas vs J. Zheng

506) J. Zheng -270
5.4/2

Chinese women are usually pretty consistent. Hard to believe Jie won't be motivated in this spot. Craybas always shows up, and a steep price on Zheng.
No opinion either way here, but good luck to you.

Tuesday
Physically these two are fairly even. At first Peng as a dog looked good. Then I noticed Peng's status is amateur.
I'll take a pro at -130 just about anytime vs. amateur.
Tennis
WTA China Open - Beijing
Round 16
M. Kirilenko vs S. Peng

541) M. Kirilenko -130

2.6/2

Not sure where you are getting your info. She might be an amateur based on some website, but that is VERY misleading as she doesn't play like an amateur. She beat the likes of Safina, Dementieva, and Clijsters in San Diego alone last year. She took a set off Hingis in US Open this year and if she wasn't tired probably would have won. . Kirilenko isn't playing that well at all, but I took Kirilenko because it seems low #. Kirilenko got whupped by another Chinese player, Li, 2 weeks ago 6-1, 6-2. So I hope the same thing doesn't happen now. Anyhow, I am with you on Kirilenko. Match just started. Good luck.

After reading that first sentence I thought uh oh.

That info comes from Sony WTA Tour site. My guess is they call her amateur based on the amount of play, but not sure. Probably not the best criteria, I agree.

So Kirlilenko has been cold and Peng has been hot? Now I am thinking uh oh.

Glad we to see you are on Kirilenko. If you or Hope would have made a pick I would have just gone with that.

good luck to us amigo

Hope is the best. No after thinking about it, I think cause she's from China and the way the gov't handles things, they probably list the athletes from there as amateurs unlesss they broke away maybe ???? like Li did. I wouldn't say Peng is hot. I just wanted to point out she's not an amateur unlike some of the scrubs who enter these tourneys. Also I am not sure if it's a rumor or not, but Peng has been hurt somewhat this year. I just think Kirilenko is underperforming this year. She won 2 winnable matches at the Open and then got upset and really destroyed. Wtatour is a good website though. Kirilenko is hot as well so Wtatour.com might not be the best website for that!

That's what I get for thinking too much and reading that stupid amatuer crap. Stupid. The numbers never lie.
