No coach wins with the turnover machine the QB position has been this year for Philly. You just can't keep turning the ball over and expect to win.

Oh good God, I wouldn't even pay attention to it. That's a real degenerate's special.
:shades:

The only thing he can really change IMO is being more aggressive offensively. His game is always going to be to outwork you, but when Lendl had him clicking he was more assertive & not just defending...

I think also at his age - 27 - his window is narrowing, so maybe he felt like he did with Lendl that getting a fresh approach all around would revitalize him.

I don't know about mentally, but I do think he is going to have a solid year and be in contention at 3/4 Slams. All the change he's gone through with the coaching staff, hitting partners, etc. that...

Reports circulated last week that he was experiencing left wrist issues. Haven't seen much else on it since.

Reports indicating that all Top 100 men and 99 of the top 100 women are entered for the Aussie Open. Organizers are pegging it as the deepest field ever.

Snoop Bloggy Blog around again for anyone who is into some light tennis reading this weekend.

Not even thinking about anything of those sorts right now. So far away. I like reading about the offseason training, etc. to see who is doing what.

Still blogging for anyone who wants to read offseason shite.

Will be blogging in the off-season. Australian tourneys always a great way to start a new year.

2015 should be interesting.

Not maybe, I think definitely. Struggling when he has to stretch for shots. Lack of power on serve.

Tsonga played pretty poorly. Thought that would have been better.

Davis Cup thoughts on the blog. Thinking Overs for Tsonga-Wawrinka @ 40.5 and pot shot on Monfils for + money 1st set.

+335 for Peya-Soares nibble

Hard time not seeing Djokovic and Wawrinka wins on Friday. Maybe just keep riding that Unders train. Might take a stab at Peya-Soares in dubs @ +290 against the Bryans. Their matches are usually...

Benneteau-ERV in dubs

Yeah it's a cool format, but the TBs are insane.

Confirmed. That's the correct scenario. Fed wins a set, Murray is out and Nishikori is in. The head-to-head win trumps it for Nishikori over Murray.

Believe Murray has to win in straights to advance with this result. Makes that match tricky to bet. Fed wins a set, he gets the top spot for in the group & Murray is out.

Unders 8/8 in singles. Would think taking it for Nishikori-Raonic at 23.5 looks decent. The Fed-Murray match looks trickier depending on qualifcation scenarios. Roger basically needs to win one set...

Nope. Same format as all week. One in the morning, one in the afternoon (US time). Don't ever go by times listed at Sportsbooks for tennis matches.

Blog has all the scenarios for Group B.

Tip for tomorrow since I think Fed-Murray will be the bigger betting match. See who wins Nishikori-Raonic 1st ... Fed may not need to win to qualify, but his effort should be there to finish top of...

Took forever, got on Over 21.5

I got dubs today as a live option @ Intertops - if they give a total, Overs have been killing it dubs wise mostly.

I don't even think it's tanking. There just only seems to be three healthy and engaged guys here for sure - maybe four depending on Wawrinka, but I still have doubts.

Definitely seems like younger...

Unders continue to be a cash cow. Unreal

I wouldn't touch that Berdych-Cilic match with free money. Too hard to figure out. If anything riding unders until they are proven to be wrong might be prudent. I'm probably gonna sit tomorrow out....

Blogarooni is updated with some thoughts for tomorrow.

Reading more, sounds like Kei was compromised with a wrist injury.

Murray-Raonic is 50-50. All about who responds better from defeat. Slight edge to Murray since he knows this format better, but...

So far doubles > singles in London. Singles been disappointing from a competitive standpoint. Really thought this was gonna be a good one.

Well yet another disappointment. Federer just better today

+3.5 is GAMES, the +1.5 I took is for SETS just to be clear. Games spread is a little trickier, but if you're in line with thinking Nishikori can win - then it's not a bad shot.

Blogged thoughts for Wednesday are up.

11.11.14 ATP Tour Finals
Nishikori +1.5 sets @ -145

Murray-Raonic, Fed-Nishikori tomorrow. Nishikori +1.5 Sets looks appetizing.

Interesting thing will be Wawrinka's next match. Berdych's comments today make me hesitant to say Stan had to do much more than show up towin. Guy called it his worst match of the season and sounded...

I go oppo on the Stan thoughts. Read many articles where he admitted he was having a tough time with finding much consistency and admitting maybe his effort level has been trash at times since...

Well an absolute no show. Why tennis betting is tough. And I suck.

Still learning at the last tournament of a season. Pick em type lines are what I need to avoid more. Did well early with that,...

Would you suggest Wawrinka instead? Outside of the h2h I can't find a reason. If you want to talk h2h, Berdych played him very tough way back in Australia when Wawrinka was playing the best tennis of...

11.10.14 Tour Finals
Berdych @ -140
Rojer-Tecau @ -125

Blogerooni updated with a review of today. Working on picks for tomorrow. Still want to shave Raonic's head as punishment for his 1st set today.

That's about typical of my year.

I'm also thinking a lot of people are/were giving Murray some sort of home court advantage played at The O2. Historically, it has not been a big advantage for him to this point.

Well that would have been a loss, so perhaps I am surprised I did not play it.... seriously though, I liked Nishikori to advance out of this group probably with Federer, but these opening matches can...

11.9.14 Tour Finals
Federer-Raonic 1st Set Over 10 @ -160
Dodig-Melo @ +123

2014 Season Overall Profit: -3.20

Twitter handle for tennis is Tennispig, you can snag the link off that.

Update on the blog with my thoughts on Sunday's matches in London. Will have my picks for tomorrow posted up tonight after a good day of drinking and the foozball.

Blog updated with a preview for the Tour Finals. Will have more as the week goes. As always, appreciate any views, retweets, etc. Tennispig.

Looks like an interesting Group with Federer, Murray,...

Ho hum. Another BJ to end another fruitless day
