I got Errani ML. Posted in the ingame last night. Venus had a 2.5 hour doubles match and had to play less than 17 hours later.

Shit I missed Errani. Didn't even look at the lines last night or this morning but if I had known that I would of been on Errani for sure. Can't believe they schedule Venus like that.

Also its too bad nobody suggested a Lucic-baroni/Bencic/errani parlay...

Anyway, Petkovic... Let's gooooo
 
I wonder if BC would know has there ever been a 7-6 5 setter?
well last set can't be 7-6 but wondering if there has been 4 sets where it's all 7-6
 
Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall seeing 4 x 7-6's before the 5th, TM. Thinking it was probably Wimbledon, 2 heavy servers. Certainly don't recall an 'all-5'er' at the USO, thou.
 
Good ole google: the one I was vaguely recalling in the back of my mind was the 2002 Wimbledon match between the Scud & Krajicek (I shaded red the Slam matches)-

No prob, TM. Was interested to see the results myself. Curious that, since 1980, this is the longest time the Slams have gone (12 years) without a 4 tiebreak match.

Tennis Stat of the Day:- Maria Sharapova has only broken opponents 43.5% in 2014 on hard court, compared to 51.1% in 2013 and 49.4% in 2012.
 
interesting you'd figured a high ranked player would have a higher clip.
nevertheless glad I laid off that over it just seemed like a pure sucker bet but Sharasexy is still as capable of destroying opposition.
 
Pennetta -1.5 Sets @ 1.76
Pennetta -4.5 @ 1.90

Azarenka -5.5 @ 2.02
Under 19.5 @ 1.88

Diyas/Makarova u19.5 @ 1.90

Tough one today
 
Does the total on the Raonic match (32.5) seem low to anybody else? The over is my favorite play today.
 
Yah P noticed that too, mean the books seem intent that Raonic will win pretty convincingly but he's not cleaning house so far this tournament. Estrella can take at least 1 set off
 
Thanks. if it's a sucker bet then consider me hooked. I'll pay to see him dominate today. One tiebreak could push this over even in a 3-setter.

Like Panetta today with you also. GL on the action.
 
tough ones tomorrow although leaning overs in the Sharapova/Wozzy and Safarova/Peng match.

Sharapova is 6-2 vs Wozzy but the Dane is playing some pretty good tennis this year.
Not so sure I'd want to put money on Errani at this price.
Right now only major lean is Jankovic u21, she's been steam rolling so I"m going to continue to ride.
 
Shitpova's serve was esp. atrocious against Lisicki. I don't believe she'll survive Woz then Jelena/Safarova. In her previous 5 USO, she's only made it past the 4th Rd once. Stats wise, the USO is her worst Slam surface. And as the stat in post #128 says, her strength - her return game - is much worse (by her own standards) this year on HC than the previous 2 years.

Bouchard was a net cord & a failed drop shot away from needing to break to avoid exiting the USO. Her mountain of errors from this match gets repeated next round, she'll get rapidly dumped. Acting as inertia to her hopes anyway is the fact she's off 2 long 3 setters against opponents she had no right not to beat in 2 after how badly both opps played in their respective 1st sets.

Prior to 2013, Makarova had made 1 Slam QF in 6 years. Since 2013, she's made 3 out of 7 (incl. 2 out of 3 on the HC Slam surfaces). She's finding her feet at the top level at an older age, one of your typical late bloomers.

These 2 have met once, in 2013 (HC): 6-4 6-2 to Makarova.
 
Wow man is Kygrios serious? This kids hilarious, complete wildcard but so much talent. I put 12.50 on him -2.5 sets at +564 as a action wager while I sit here eating a DQ Blizzard. Smh
