For Azarenka to have won this set in the face of some of the best tennis I've ever seen Kerber play, she's on notice to being back close to her own best. The only flaw for both players was serving, but the ground games were excellent.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Kerber leads 4-1.

Pennetta with match point.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Pennetta wins 1-6 6-1 6-4

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Lepchenko break opens her 3rd set.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Lepchenko 2 pts from the win, 30-30

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Kerber BP after being down 40-0

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Azarenka gets lucky, game point

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Azarenka butchers a match point like Makarova did.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

MP #4.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Kerber winner saves another mp.

And a DF gives Aza yet another.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

poor 1st serve

 

[BetCrimes1984]

yet another winner saves her bacon, deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

adv. Kerber off an UE

 

[BetCrimes1984]

big 1st serve, another GP

 

[BetCrimes1984]

yet another winner, and hold

Kerber's effort today would've beaten probably every other player on tour on HC but Azarenka or Serena at their best.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Easy hold for Aza to win, Kerber was done/drained.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

The purest of pure turd tennis is going on between Lisicki & Strycova. DF golare from both, as well as UE. All either of them has to do is return the ball consistently to win any given point, and neither can manage it.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

One of the worst sets I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing...

View attachment 39399

43 UE vs. 12 winners

10 DF vs. 3 aces

 

[Al Burna]

Which sister money line play for the am? Venus?

 

[cxbbum]

Strycova giving the match away

 

[cxbbum]

up 4-1 serving game 6 in the 3rd and losses 7-5....that takes talent

 

[ksimpsc]

Yea man my ass is still pretty chapped on that one. I had focussed my attention elsewhere thinking it was a lock to come back to 5-4 and losing the game

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Which sister money line play for the am? Venus?

Yep. Serena is beatable here, Keys just has to keep it together in the head. Venus plays anything like she did vs. Bencic, it's a done deal.

 

[Noles4life]

cilic/chardy first on tap... frenchman has had a nice summer and cilic has not looked all that impressive intrigued by the matchup i like chardy n the value +170 might take a stab on that and O

Yep. Serena is beatable here, Keys just has to keep it together in the head. Venus plays anything like she did vs. Bencic, it's a done deal.

Regarding Serena, I'm not tempted to back her at odds 1,25, but I think she will come out to play today.

 

[nbafan88]

Just silly going against Serena. Not saying you should bet on her but going against her is just dumb

 

[nbafan88]

Bouchard has withdrawn from doubles & mixed-doubles.

Just saw this.... Crazy. Hope she's ok

 

[ksimpsc]

Any reason given? she has singles later today correct?

To focus on her singles after her three setter?

 

[ksimpsc]

Was at lunch, geez head injury in the locker room. She still gonna play the singles?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Penis wins the 1st 6-2 in 25 mins.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Penis sets up a potential shit-effort lay down vs. her sister the next round.

 

[ksimpsc]

Yea I thought they would meet in the next round if they both won

 

[Wikeman]

Madison Keys is the feel good story right now... makes me think she will be destroyed. The Venus victory will also motivate Serena.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Serena with forced & unforced errors to gift the game to Keys.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Serena serving better so far than the shit she dished up so often vs. Mattek-Sands.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

FH winner Keys, too good for Serena, 40-15

 

[BetCrimes1984]

and another one again, 2-2.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

poor serving, BP for Serena

 

[ksimpsc]

So you think Bouchard is healthy and I was on the right track there bet? I misread the shit out of your post while I was on the road

 

[BetCrimes1984]

1 poor game costs Keys the set with Serena serving both first & lights out.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

So you think Bouchard is healthy and I was on the right track there bet? I misread the shit out of your post while I was on the road

I meant if she's healthy, she's over the odds. I can only assume the odds reflect the state of her health, because otherwise I'd expect them to be much closer (even given Vinci's easy pre-USO win).

 

[BetCrimes1984]

2nd serve ace saves a BP, Serena error loses the other, Keys now with adv.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

109 ace saves another BP

 

[ksimpsc]

Alright thanks yea I read that opposite of that thanks for the clarification gonna re evaluate where I stand on that one when I get to a stopping point. Took Vinci back for bigger and now feeling stuck ha

sorry I didn't reply earlier in your thread, been off & on the comp

 

[ksimpsc]

No worries brother I am at the beach and relegated to the phone. Can't wait to get back to my desk and my rig

 

[BetCrimes1984]

speculation is she's expected to forfeit, so should be refunds on all bets anyway

 

[ksimpsc]

Haha just said I hope that in my thread. I'll take it

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Bouchard has officially withdrawn from the singles.

 

[ksimpsc]

Boom mistakes forgiven. Thanks for the news brother. Makes this vodka drink taste a lot better haha
