That Brazilian crowd was rockin' .....loudest crowd I've heard of any match this year! ....helped Bellucci to a win.

Crowd was off the charts. They pushed Bellucci to a win, no doubt. I'm so glad I wasn't Mayer today.

EDIT: It is appropriate to note that they broke every ounce of tennis etiquette known to the sport.

Del Potro +130 over Federer (1 Unit)



I've been waiting for this match all tournament. This is what I had when I filled out my bracket before the tournament started, and I'm not changing my mind now. The side to pick is not the question, the only question is how many units I want put into this. I'm going to play it for just 1, although I think this could be worth more. Everybody is very familiar with these guys so an in-depth write-up is not necessary. We know who they are and what they've done, I'm simply just giving you the winner. I'm very selective and this is my first play in a couple of days. You think I'm going to lose it? Not likely. Be reminded, I've posted a 9-1 ATP record in this thread and I like this one as much as any of them.

Istomin +220 over Raonic (1 Unit)


Raonic has had a tremendous year, only losing to Hewitt. He is also the defending champion here. Istomin has been a workhorse his entire career, yet a title has eluded him (0-1 in title matches). On the Challenger Tour he is 9-3 in title matches and he plays pressure points better than he's given credit for. He is also a better mover than he's given credit for IMO. Obviously, we should see some tiebreaks today. Raonic isn't going to win titles every week people. Today we will prove that he is human, sometimes we forget. The hunger of Istomin along with the momentum he's coming in with may be enough to push him over the top. This is a little bit of an "outside the box" play that could make me look dumb, but I love taking underdogs that are not trendy (the mistake I made earlier today). This was the best underdog play on the card today, I just failed to see it soon enough. Let's get some.

[EdwardHaney]

Overall: 10-6 (+6.05 Units)
Favorites : 7-1 (+6.65 Units)
Underdogs: 3-5 (+0.40 Units)


A couple of underdogs did not work for me yesterday. That's what I get for messing with greatness. There are some pretty interesting matchups in Marseille. So many guys in that draw you just don't know what to expect from.




Seppi -335 over Cipolla (1 Unit)


This is about the maximum amount if juice I like to lay without putting it in a parlay. I don't hate Cipolla but his serve is way too questionable to win a match in this tournament against a player who seems to be in good form right now. He beat Davydenko at the Australian and none of his other wins impress me much. Seppi is one of the guys that you always know what you're getting from. He wins when he's favored, and loses when he's an underdog. I must believe this is a pretty safe play. If Cipolla really had any chance I think the line would be down some. This is one where I'm just going to get my money in and not follow the match but return home later to see that I have more money. I don't need the sickness of following along when I'm laying this much juice haha.

Kuznetsova -225 over Goerges (1 Unit)


This play is really easy for me to make. Kuznetsova is the woman that has made me more money than any other woman. I've always read her well and I have a really good feeling about her today. I'm laying a little juice again but that's okay. I've gotten away from playing too many women's matches but I can certainly play matches involving Kuznetsova. I think Kuznetsova realizes she'll have a shot at Azarenka tomorrow if she gets past Goerges. I think she wants that challenge.

[EdwardHaney]

That Kuznetsova line moved to -275 after I posted. I didn't think I was good enough yet to be moving lines like that LOL.

[EdwardHaney]

Of course Goerges is outclassing Kuznetsova.

[shari91]

Of course Goerges is outclassing Kuznetsova.

But why of course? As you said in the post above, you thought you were moving lines. However yet again you lost. Should we add up your ENTIRE record?

I'm going to give you a chance to exit gracefully from SBR or I will let everyone know who you are. Your choice. But I'll tell you for the last time: Don't mess with the guys in the tennis forum. Keep your nonsense contained elsewhere. These guys are my buddies so just stop it now with this nonsense.

[EaglesPhan36]

Whoa what the hell happened here? Hadn't seen anything but civil stuff from this guy or whoever it is. I must have missed something.

[reformed]

its funny he doesn't update his record...

[brandoc]

Obviously something amiss, otherwise Shari wouldn't have stepped in.

What is it with some of the freaks out there. Are they looking to tout their services or just fiendishly craving attention??
