WImbledon Fri 7/6

Berdych +134
+3.5 -115
O39.5 -120

Nadal has had trouble with similar and lesser players. H2H Berdych 3-0 on hard courts, Nadal 2-0 on clay (duh). Bad matchup for Rafa, coming off 2 5 setters. He will always fight though, hence, the over. Just think Tomas can finish, unlike last two opponents. Youzhny would have if not for achy back.

Like Venus, but odds are steep. Looking for a parlay. Also played Roddick -3.5 games and JCF +8 games.

I played Berdych as well but only got +125. Same logic as you. Berdych has been dominant where as nadal has struggled his last two. I think his luck runs out tomorrow.

gl today E. I think Nadal needs help from Berdych today. If Thomas is on, Nadal is going down. These two don't like each other, makes for a good one. Berdych is the ideal anti-Nadal opponent-- hits flat, deep HEAVY BALL from BOTH sides. That said, IF Nadal wins he would have beaten on grass so far:

Soderling, Youzhny, Berdych. LOL, incredible--his game is no where near suited for grass.

i like this parlay:

Berdych/Nadal OVER 3.5 sets TO Baghdatis/Djokovic OVER 3.5 sets. I haven't played it tho, just going to watch this Venus stuff play out.

Ouch. Perhaps I should not post plays and just discuss my opinions. berdych seemed bothered by the wind and Nadal's spins. After losing the first set tiebreak, he was toast.
