Prices were dropping on chardy before this match, really didnt see this coming, except from the fact that Verdasco just had won a tournament and often they tank in the following tournament. Chardy been awful all year, very talented French player, but I think this win will mean a lot to him getting his confidence back.

yeah really good win for him maybe he can get back on track now.

I thought about it, but obviously did not have the nuts to pull the trigger. Was a good situation. Verdasco off the high of beating Roddick and Chardy - immensely talented - having a horrible start to the season. Might be his chance to get revved up.

Yeah as we were discussing EP. This looks like a good place for Chardy to make a stand and start climbing the rankings instead of falling. Lacko should be a good next test for him. I would suspect Chardy will be going off around -150.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'll take Chardy. Supremely talented, just needs some confidence after a rough start. Today should have done the trick -150 or less is an automatic play for me if that is the case.

[beefcake]

wonder what the record is last few years of players that after winning tourneys,their first match after,more importantly very soon after with travel over time zones..

Verdasco destroyed one of my chalk parlays, expected him to at least get past the first round in Memphis.

[Fthenorm]

biggest dog of the day, a huge surprise...Verdasco is in amazing shape so fatigue was probably not the main factor...it was likely his lack of motivation

[Boner_18]

Chardy up at -140 at the early US books. At -120 at Pinny, should be around -130 when 5Dimes gets around to it barring a large move.

[EaglesPhan36]

It's all on Chardy's racket to me to win against Lacko. If Chardy is back in the right frame of mind, he has too much game IMO. If Chardy hadn't started 2010 out in a total funk, this line would probably be closer to -200 I think. Anything at -130 or better is a solid play for me and likely is one I will look at very hard for tomorrow.
