sometimes I tail, sometimes I cap...i'm going to start keeping a thread of my plays here

Plays for today;

Play #1: Querrey (-140) over Monaco (Played 5dimes so first ball action)

-Querrey in better Form, Monaco not 100% (see below)

MASON - When is a blister not a normal blister?

How about when the ATP Tour medical staff has to use a lighter to sterilize a pin the size of a small paper clip to puncture that blister in order to relieve the pressure pushing on a toenail?


That's what had to be done to Juan Monaco's right foot Wednesday after he upset No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal and then played a doubles match here in the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters.

</P>"It's pretty bad," Monaco said. "I just had small surgery on it. Hopefully it feels better tomorrow."

Play #2: Baggy (+850) over Federer

-Strictly a fade on Federer as I don't think he has much to play for here. If you're Federer would you want to be playing into the weekened after making the Finals last week? His 2 biggest rivals are resting while he beats up on lower competition. Same Tourney where Federer lost to Murray last year, so i'm taking a flyer.

Good luck with the plays!

I'm thinking of taking Baggy on the games handicap or laying Fed 2-0.

I think Monaco is always good when his opponent is not able to keep his balls long with good deepness and I believe Querrey has showed so good service game that he will be very hard to break, then there is of course second serves. Very close to play Baghdatis myself too.

Good luck.

Sam Wins it....let's go Baggy!

took some Blake at 33/1 and Hewitt at 35/1 odds for the title this morning

if Federer gets knocked out and with Andy, Nadal, Djok gone..it would be wide open

I'd be all over Hewitt if i wasn't sitting on a 33/1 ticket i picked up Thursday morning. Also sitting on Blake at 33/1

I think he wins but if he doesn't the plan is to put a unit on Davy to start the hedging

Let's hope not...go Hewitt

Would love to see a Hewitt/Blake Final

gl with the futures Betit. It's always difficult for a long shot to come home when Fed is in the field, hc or grass. And one's hedging oppotunites are limited as he will be a huge fav in the semi's and finals. However, if he does beat Lleyton and Blake can get by Davy you should have guarenteed coin.

Lleyton and Blake pose little problems for Roger due to style of play. Both are predictable and hit the ball too flat to cause problems --this explains why the Swiss has dominated these two over the last 3 yrs. Roger will have to be really off to lose to either of these guys.

just my 2-cents

thanks hope; lleyton gave him a run last time...fed has played some tough matches the past couple of days...maybe he's tired?

Betit, where did you pick up the Blake to win wager? basically, what books offer the ability to take someone to win a tournament...i've only seen that available for grand slams.

adding Hewitt/Federer over 20.5 games (-125)

I think it is a competitive match...Federer's last few matches have been tight

Nice hit on the over.

Good luck with Blake tonight. Fed should not win this tournament considering how poorly he has played. Blake has supposedly been on fire, and really found some rhythm to his game.
