Such is the nature of betting and randomness. One day you fade an overrated player (Sharapova) and lose the bet, next day when you don't, she belatedly fulfills the expectation with a huge flop.
Well, game not over yet. 6-2 4-3 lead to Kuznetsova, who's serving.
Edit: Kuznetsova wins 6-2 6-4, well done by her!

Raonic - Murray
Today, 20:00 CET, Madrid - Masters, quarterfinal, clay
The bet: Raonic @ 2.57 LOSS -100
Raonic is 3-2 H2H, including 1-0 on Clay. Raonic arrived fresh for this tournament whereas Murray came from winning the Munich tournament, which might have worn a bit on him.

I hope the fall of the favourites will spill over into the mens' singles ;-)

I feel you. Not looking too good with Raonic, 1 set down. Murray is serving out of this world, 80% first serves and winning 84% of them. We need him to cool down.
Edit1 3-2 Raonic in second set. Tough hold.
Edit2 4-3 Raonic wasted a breakpoint in Murray's serve
Edit3 5-4 Raonic survives another two breakpoints to hold. We're still alive:tiphat:

Pretty much a regular
So Milos is still hurting with his foot. In Pain the entire match. Has already withdrawn from Rome next week

Pretty much a regular
He withdrew his last tourney in the match against Monaco with a foot injury. Then today he announced he wasn't going to play Rome next week. Which is an ATP 1000 so its not minor. Their guess was the foot just needs rest. So take 2 weeks off before the French. You could just tell he was injured on the foot. Couldn't slide on clay or anything

Kuznetsova opposition was overall harder. She had more more rest before today's match though. Maybe today is when she runs out of steam.

11 WIN - 15 LOSS =-219,5 units
I took some days break to realign. I will try to be a bit more conservative in my selections.
Lots of underdogs have come through, but too rarely those I select. The Rome tournament is a bit suspect because it's just before French Open, and some of the top players seem not to try very hard.
Today I will be on Carla Suarez-Navarro 2.60 over Kvitova, or maybe on the games handicap. Kvitova hasn't been deep in the Rome tournament before, and Carla seems to match up well with her, based on previous encounters.

Thanks Canes1. I needed that win for my wallet if not my record
Do you have any opinion on Federer - Wavrinka? I lean the latter, but I'm mostly a sucker for the underdog. I'm staying off the Sharapova match, I don't like the odds on Sharapova, on the other hand she will probably be fired up for this match after losing their previous encounter.

Kyrgios - Kukushkin WON +47
Today, 12:30 CET, Nice, 1. round, clay
The bet: Kyrgios @ 1.47
Kyrgios is not the most consistent player, he seems to play up or down to the level of competition sometimes, but nobody can doubt that he has a lot of power and talent, and he's ranked at number 30 now. His game has worked very well on clay this season.
Kukushin holds the number 57 ranking. He reached a final at Sydney on hard court in January, but after that he's had difficulties getting consecutive wins, and his favourite surface surely isn't clay.

Sock - Lajovic
Today, 12:30 CET, Nice, 1. round, clay
The bet: Lajovic @ 2.93 WON +193
Lajovic won their only H2H at French Open 3-0 in sets last year, in 3rd round, which should boost his morale. Surely Sock had a strong clay season, and he's ranked 39 places higher, but still the odds on Lajovic seem good to me.

Safarova - Pavlyuchenkova
Today, 16:30, French Open, 1. round, clay
The bet: Pavlyuchenkova @ 3,02 LOSS -100
The two ladies never played each other on clay before, but Pavlyuchenkova leads 4-1 H2H on other surfaces, and looking back at earlier French Open results, they're pretty even. Should be an even match.
