It's 2 PM. The matches on the show court have started. I would be surprised if they get through even these matches.

gee, hopefully tennis today, yesterday was yuck.

gl today my friend

I can't believe Anabel lost to a player in horrific form and outside the top 250, just unreal. Anabel is NOT useless on hardcourts, she a steady player that beats players she 'should' beat, great 'parlay player'--Youlia's biggest win of her career on the WTA, handsdown.

adding to my Pin play-another unit, monies is going on Loit, strange, I may be missing something here.

1.30u to win 1u

UNBELIEVABLE choke job by Camille. Up 5-2 and 15-40 two break points, two match points blows them both loses the game. Then to serve out the match, gets broken. I need a break. Sorry to any that followed.

:nohead:

That's brutal way to lose man. I had a match like that in Wimbledon between Dulko and Bremond where Dulko blew match points on like love 40 and just choked the match away and I still think I hate her cause of it even though she's pretty hot. That was worse one for me this year and it came during a bad streak. The worse part was after she choked at 5-5 Bremond took an injury break for like 15 mins. When she came back on to the court, I knew Dulko was done. Was pretty sick feeling. Good luck tommorow. BTW, I love Agassi, but good lord I feel like the only thing I am going to see on USA for the next 2 weeks is Law and Order and Andre Agassi. I can't wait to watch tommorow's match. I really hope Andre pulls through, but I am not holding my breath. Thanks for sharing your plays Hope.

Also I know Pierce was only playing Vesnina, but Pierce won 90% of points on her first serve, 73% first serve and 25 winners to only 7 unforced errors. I hate her guts but that's pretty solid for a player who hasn't played at all hardly. A Li/Pierce 3rd round match would be very interesting.

 

[altice]

I still feel lucky on Zheng from Monday. She got beaten easily today as -440 fav. Currently really sweating your girl Peer. She won 1st set easy and lost 2nd set to Muller! WTF. She can't hold her serve at all today. And down 1-0 in the 3rd set. And Peer is serving. Looks like pathetic start to the day.

 

[altice]

Sigh of relief. Peer ended up coming on winning 3rd set 6-2. One thing about her is she sure is a fighter.

 

[Hope1]

glad you were on her pal. That's her problem, she just doesnt have a very good serve. She was making me sweat too as I had her with Patty and Jelena.

saw those stats on Pierce, wow crazy stuff.

I think Andre may be in trouble today, not sure if you are aware:

[altice]

Sure wish I had Patty and Jelena. I had to sweat out Sugiyama and Srebotnik in addition to Peer. I am starting to think Garbin is my freaking nemesis. She's horrible and she was up 4-3 and break in the 2nd set so I figured that was a loser. And have no clue what happened to Srebotnik in 2nd set. That chick is a goldmine for me. She's the anti-Garbin. Only reason Sugiyama won is Garbin is awful. How predictable was Dani's collapse?

 

[altice]

I think I am going to take Li. Break even if lose. Nice day if I win. Course I had Perry yesterday. Nice pick.

 

[altice]

Here we go again. Another f*cking match goes to the 3rd set. Li won 1st 6-0 and is losing 4-0 in the 2nd set. Can't even win a game.

 

[altice]

Correction. Danilidou, not Garbin, is my nemesis. Pathetic performace by Li.

 

[Hope1]

she is serving for the match, i'm rooting for ya pal!!!!!!!!

close it out Li!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hope1]

she won great day for you Altice!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm very happy for ya!!!!! enjoy the cash!!!!!!

:toast:

 

[altice]

Thanks Hope. I really appreciate it. 4 3 setters in 1 day is not healthy when you live and die on each point. My work performance has sucked this week. Wow what a bizarre match. Li wins 1st set 6-0. Danilidou wins 8 of the next 9 games and leads 2-0 in 3rd set. Li rallies and wins the 3rd set 6-4. She couldn't keep her serve to save her life in last 2 sets and then keeps it the last two times At 4-4 there was a LONG break so maybe Danildiou was hurt. Crazy stresful day, but thank you Li.

 

[Hope1]

tennis betting is a wonderful cardio work out, dont ya think?uppy:

WELL DONE MAN!!!!!!!!

 

[altice]

It probably is but cardio doesn't make my head hurt the way today did. I need like 100 tylenol or something. I am real worried for my girl, Elena tommorow. Zvonerava is tough. Thanks for the info on Agassi. I am just going to enjoy that match.

 

[achandicap]

Hey altice and Hope1, can you make public your plays before the matches start? It sounds like you're doing pretty well, and there probably more than me who has little interest in the game but are entertained when there's a 10-spot on the line. I'll play your plays, just for kicks, and won't rip you if you lose. I was on Golovin and Li today, and am still working Fedossova. I can't remember if those came from you two or MaxDemo, but it's a fun way to blow a day at work.
