Ooops! My bad, I'm sorry. I thought her hair was shadows in the background 
In NHL, I really like the Chicago and St.Louis over 6 tonight. Any thoughts?
Thanks! |

No opinion on that total. Take a peak at Colorado side.

It'd only be a shocker for people who don't know tennis.

What's the story here? Why is this price so short? I'm sure there is a good reason but I don't follow tennis too much. I just know that currently it's Nadal, Federer and then the rest as far as mens tennis goes.

Having watched Tsonga in his last match I have to say he looked like shit ...unlike the choking Russian dipshit Tursunov, who beat himself in that match,Nadal is a great returner..Its a no play for me but good luck...

Several reasons:
1) Fast indoors = Nadal's worst surface by a long way......
2) ....demonstrated by dropping sets to Bolelli and Dimitrov
3) Rotterdam is the fastest surface of any major tournament
4) Fast courts are Tsonga's best surface. He also just win Paris indoors, and this is a lot faster.
5) Tsonga is Nadal's worst matchup of playing style, see their Aus Open match. Deep groundstrokes and Nadal drops replies short for easy putaways, it's the classic way to beat him.
I took Tsonga 2-0 at +400.

I hope Tsonga pulls it off. Got my Ancic winnings earlier riding on him.

Tsonga now +160, this play may become scalpable soon.
Not that I would do that, because I prefer taking my chances while being on the best number.

i was just pissed after cornet blew the lead against jankovic and lost the game, but i'm on tsonga as well.
Just not as confident because i had a couple of bad beats last few days. tsonga pick is also listed in the sbr spreadsheet.
gl with your plays tonight

Tsonga's second serve is getting pounded. That's where Nadal is winning this. Tsonga needs an early break in the 2nd to give him some confidence!

Poor performance from Tsonga, his footwork is awful, leading to a ton of errors. Keeps charging the net too, despite being unable to make low volleys (which is exactly what Nadal fires at him). My guess is he's tired after the late match last night.
Still, his serve is now working really very well, 18 aces. If he can survive to a tiebreak he has a real chance.

Nadal hasn't offered one break chance. Pretty hard to lose that way.

Tsonga leads 5-4, a break now would be nice.
