random thoughts;....its 4th round action. You get this far by playing good tennis.

Vesely Vs Berdych- battle of countrymen and Berdych is a big fav. This Vesely kid is capable of big wins- beat Thiem in straights and beat world # 1 , Nole on clay earlier in the year. Clearly, when in form, he has game. During the grass court circuit for 2016 he has proven to be a tough man to break. 11 of 23 sets have gone to tiebreaks; 48% ..that's absurd!! He has yet to lose a set. Berdych is quality and a top 10 player. he has dropped sets in of his first 3 matches. The over 38.5 or Vesely +2.5 sets seems like attractive plays.

Tomic Vs Pouille-- Tomic labelled as the -275 fav. Lucas is a young Frenchman who just beat big serving Del Potro. Impressive. He also took a set off Nishikori off grass in a pre-wimbledon grass tourney. +2.5 sets is very attractive, but gotta lay some pretty juice. Wouldn't be surprise if he wins outright.

Cilic/Nish--- all comes down to how Marin will serve. He's lost serve once in his last two matches. It's even a bigger weapon on grass-- gets a high % of first serves in and Nish is in big trouble.These two have met 10 times with Nish winning 7 of them. Of those ten matches only 3 have been won in straights. This is begging to go over , they sure put a big number at 42...gee....


Kyrgios/Murray-- Murray's run of 8 straight yrs of a QF appearance or better may run into a wall, with this volatile , go for broke kid. Murray is one of the games best returners of serve , he's going to get a lot of balls back that normally would be free points for Nick. Will Andy give the kid a lesson on grass tennis? +2.5 sets for the Aussie is very attractive. He beat Murray in straight at the Hopman. Think he's ready to compete with the big boys.

V Williams/Navarro-- Venus got a scheduling break and as a result a few badly needed days to rest after two marathon matches vs players outside the top 30. Gee. Has a tendency to somehow pull tight matches off. She's playing quality in Carla and not a lot of room for error. Career 3-3 htd. Tough to back Venus here.

Coco/Pavyl-- -350?..+4.5 games?....get atta here........Anastasia is quality ranked just ouside the top 20. She just destroyed Timea in straights. Like Coco, she is playing well and no way should she be given 4.5games..

Hey Ric......You think Querrey gets beat by Mahut?

 

[Ricboff]

no idea. I'd be shocked if either wins in straights

 

[Ricboff]

gl with your plays, G

Keys/Halep is a cracker of a match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HarryCaray]

Keys/Halep is a cracker of a match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed that is the match of the day tomorrow. I like Halep getting + money, she should be favored IMO.

Cibulkova/Radwanska should also be a dandy. Like the dog there too.

Set the alarm to get up early for this one, and it has been more than worth it. What a match.

 

[HarryCaray]

Cibulkova serving for the match for the 3rd time.

 

[HarryCaray]

Halep breaks Keys to force a 3rd set. Great tennis on right now, what a great start to a holiday.

 

[HarryCaray]

Cibulkova serving for the match for the 3rd time.

3rd time is the charm. Epic match.

Federer to win quartet -138

gotta take The Man. The threats are Nishikori and Cilic. He can't face both. Either one in the qtrs. Cilic is scary , if he's serving lights out Fed can be in trouble. Fed should cruise to the qtrs (over the last 5 yrs he hasnt lost to any of the players he may face until the qtrs) then its basically -138 vs either cilic/nish...

well, i'd prefer to meet Nish and not Cilic, however.....Marin it is

QF

The Man Vs M Cilic

'....enjoy the 4th of July all......see ya at Flushing soon enough...........'

 

[indiana]

GB/2.......great matches today........enjoy the 4th with your family...........indy

 

[Ricboff]

live betting;

was concerned if Tsonga would be fresh after yesterday's marathon. If he continues to serve lights , mug gasquet is in trouble. Up a break, -155 to -160 to win match. Gotta liek this

 

[Ricboff]

lol, forget it, Gasquet just withdrew

 

[Greenbacks]

My plays sucked.....6-7-1......Overall....15-16-3....$-181.00
