What is up tennis brothers! Best time of the year right now. Lets get the cake!
Wish I had posted my qualifying plays -- did quite well. Went on a little vacation to Banff over the past week, just got home today. Francois Abanda is $$$$$$$.
I've began my capping for the Open and agree that Raonic has a beautiful draw. Nishikori has already said he probably wont win his 1st round match making Raonic's draw even that much softer. Hope the kid can keep his cool and collect some points and some $ with a QF finish at worst!
Gotta hope to cash some large dogs this week! Best of luck everyone, lets goooooo
Day 1:
WTA
A. Radwanska -8.5 (+177)
-Fichman should be outclassed in this one in every aspect of the game. If she can win 4 games I'll pay $50 to see it.
Ying Ying Duan ML (+113)
- She is 0-1 this season against Kudryavtseva but beat tougher opponents in qualifying matches. Also did well in some asian qualifiers pre-US Open. Playing with confidence at the moment I think she is worthy of a wager of $50.
thats all for now...gonna watch some mens matches tomorrow and chip away at tuesday/wednesdays card as I ease into the tournament.
good luck with any capping you do this evening and best of luck in the AM
Day 2:
ATP
Rubin ML (+270)
-wait till you see this kid play. His opponent is much higher ranked but hard court is not his speciality, clay court is. Good opportunity for Rubin to make some noise in a very weak spot in the lower half of the draw. I'll be cheering for the young, up and coming american. $50 on Rubin at the moment, likely to add more.
Odesnik ML (+364)
-Nishikori fresh off a cyst removal on his big toe. Has not played a match since so hard to say where he is at. Keeping it small on him for $35 at the moment, but Nishikori has stated that his fitness is down and if the pain comes back he will retire. My book offers action on all matches that go past 1 full set. Hopefully Odesnik can win 1 of the 3 sets and come away with a Nishikori retirement (and subsequent victory).
