*** TENNIS (US Open 3rd Round) ***

[KingofPicks]

Radek Stepanek +400

This guy has been playing well. I saw this guy practice for an hour in Montreal with the guy who lost to Roddick this evening. These 2 guys were practicing serve and volley all day. It seems to have paid off for the guy Roddick played because his serve was on point and he was good at the net but couldn't compete with Roddick's ground game. Either way, Stepanek is the better player and he will win this match against Hewitt. Hewitt hasn't looked like a star lately, he's just a regular joe while Stepanek is on the up and up! +400 give it to me Stepanek!

Robby Ginepri -120

I needed a favorite to balance out my huge dog just in case. Robby Ginepri was the 1st guy I saw practice when he was in Montreal. He was practicing with James Blake who has been playing well lately. This young gun is also on his way up in the ranks and is going to show the old-timer what he's made of.

Stepanek retired from the match. A push is better than a loss though.

 

[KingofPicks]

or is my bet a loss?

1 set was completed. Stepanek retired.

What's the grade?

depends where you played it

Thanks Railbird.

Ginepri started off well, winning the first set in a tie break and then Martin took him to school. Ginepri was playing like a loser the last set.


My play for today is..

David Nalbandian +110

He beat Agassi in Montreal and he made it this far. I'm giving him an opportunity to get noticed by the King of Picks - The Undisputed King of Picks.

KOP,

Robbie was serving for 2nd set at 5-4, I know the guy is capable of going ADD, doesnt matter who he is playing.

I like your Nalbandian play, Flip is another guy that disapperas mentally like Robbie.

 

[KingofPicks]

Naldandian comes through!
