Lawrence,

Who do you like for the 1st round?

Thanx in advance.

 

[Lawrence]

haven't made my bets yet, but at first glance I do likeMonflis alot over Murray, even though Murray took their last meeting...also loving Karlovic..not to 2nd guess ya, but not sure what you see in Carlsen, he's not too good on clay to say the least...also Portas may give Bghdad slight trouble...overall your card looks real solid though..i'll chime in better when I make my selections..good luck though buddy

 

[MadCapper]

Lawrence,

Good stuff.

Carlsen can surprise every now and then. Its a small play with the HUGE dog. Taking a chance on the big payout.

As for Bags....I think he'll play well in this tournament. He may have trouble early, but will get going in the match.

It will be good talking tennis with you throughout this tournament!

 

[Lawrence]

hopefully others will chime in as well..

 

[MadCapper]

Let meknow when your ready with your card.

 

[railbird2]

Im never in a hurry to unload against Murray, Monfils did beat some chumps this clay season. Roddick and the weaponless Santoro doesnt impress me as quality wins.

 

[MadCapper]

Monfils will win this. I have never been impressed with Murray.

[MadCapper]

Railbird,

Do you handicap Mens tennis too?

 

[railbird2]

Yes Cappper,

Had A Martin over A Rod in 1st round, Also had falla over Gimelstob. I dont like to eat chalk too much. My clay strategy is to fade americans, because the USTA coaching and elite programs are complete garbage. I know Brian Teacher and Elliot Telschter and watch on a daily basis the so called coaching they give to the top 10 Americans, the only American male that has improved in the last 5 years is James Blake.

Spadea, Fish, Dent, Roddick, Ginepri all have gotten worse instead of better under the USTA. Reason is they dont want to get on planes, they dont have backhnads they cant volley, they dont work hard. They are all lazy kids who are *****s.

 

[MadCapper]

Agree with everything you say about them. They only concentrate on the hard courts. Clay is for the Europeans.

Fading Americans on clay is the way to go...but linesmakers now this already.

Who do you like in RD 2?

 

[railbird2]

They know it, but why was Roddick 120 fave instead of 200 underdog, why was Falla 210 fav instead of 400 fav.

waiting for bottom half rnd 2 lines

 

[railbird2]

Henman -150 over tursunov
Falla 70-1 over Fed

 

[jakethompson]

Henman -150 over tursunov
Falla 70-1 over Fed

I'm on the other side of the Henman play. Why do you like Henman in this one rail? The two look fairly even right about now and if I remember correctly, Tursunov has won the last two matches although I don't remember if they were on clay or not.

Anyway, here are my plays:

Massu -151 over Mirnyi
Berdych -225 over Volandri
Galvani +202 over Montanes
Acasuso -739 over Dlouhy
Tursonov +138 over Henman

 

[MadCapper]

Jake you laying -739?
