Tennis - Madrid Oct 19

Huge money for Robby Ginepri in the first match of the day. Also some money for Johansson, but nowhere near as strong as the money for Ginepri.

Im not a Ginepri fan this year as he has been very inconsistent, but in saying that, Robredo had some luck against a choking Chela in the 2nd round.

Robredo was -180 on Pinny at around midnight EST and is now down to -138.

Do what you got to do.

Great call on ROBBIE!

Wasnt my call, and I didnt back him. Just following the money on Pinny and Betfair and it was all one way traffic for Ginepri until about half hour before kick off.

As stated earlier, there has been money for JJ, and there is also some money coming for Djokovic. I would not be surprised if Djok is favourie by the time the match starts.

Some good money has also come for Soderling to beat the Fedman. You could get +2500 about him last night, and now Fedman is -1500.

Safin and Nadal pretty much unchanged with a trickle of money for Henman.

Do what you got to do.

Berdych finally knocks off a big name. It was bound to happen after I had decided to watch him for a little while. Ive been waiting for this kid to take the next step ever since he beat Fedman in Athens, and every time he looks like he is ready he reverts to being an ordinary player. He is called Baby Marat by a lot of tennis journalists and maybe he also has Marat's temperament and brainsnaps. To play it safe I think I will watch him for a while now and see if he can become more consistent. Could be frustrating but I think it could be beneficial to my pocket also.

I agree, Tomas is basically impossible to bet with. Has to be more consistent. He's clearly capable of brilliance out there--has beaten Nadal, Fed, and the overated crapola Roddick.

Andy did turn his ankle today midway thru the second, kudos to him for finishing the match, a good sport. The folks on Tomas must be happy campers

So you're a Roddick fader as well Hope? One of the most over-rated and overhyped athletes ( let alone tennis players ) of all time. He reminds me of the kids I went to high school with who were the early developers, and who were much bigger, stronger and faster than the rest of the kids their own age.
The rest of the tour is catching up ( or have caught up ) and are seeing just how big a hoax and one dimensional player this guy is.

yep........uppy: . Sometimes to a fault.

Srebotnik trashed Dementieva, wow. That woman is playing some out of skin tennis of late.

Safin trashes Vliegen, where did that come from?

JJ retired? oh no, shoulder again??
