ATP/WTA - Australian Open

[FlyersFan]

Blake did almost do it but what the sad part about it was that Blake played one of his better matches while Del Potro didn't start to play his normal game until the 5th set. Tough match for Blake. Unfortunately he's on the downside of his career. .

i must have missed "the upside of his career".....:laughing:....other than having that posse of clowns that follows him and they put on TV every 3 minutes at the open, what has he ever done to gain any sort of notoriety? I know injuries played a part but he never made a dent in the Tennis scene. He has exactly 1 win over a top 10 player at a major EVER and that was Nadal back like years ago.

GL on the Aussie Open CS....:thumbs:.....i think ESPN could use another announcer or 2, though.....:laughing: (what is it with ESPN that they need 4 million people to do anything whether it's break down a monday night game or a tennis match?)

My god you got lucky on that Monaco play Corey when I saw it go to a tiebreaker in the third I was like oh no its all over. Then somehow he pulled it off. It seemed to me the heat got to Llodra and we saw his 1st Serve % drop and his Unforce errors go up. Great play! (Also you goes to show you how important 1st serve % is; I personally believe if someone is serving less than 58% they are going to have a tough day)

Edit: Didn't want to say anything to Jinx it after I saw Baggy cramp late in the game but that would have to be one of the best come from behind wins I have seen. Hopefully this kind of luck continues :)

Well he did come from behind so it was a great win...lol :sm: Lot's of long matches yesterday and comebacks. 16 matches, 5 of them went 5 sets with three of the winners coming from behind down 2 sets.

Good Luck BTG!!!!:thumbs:

Cilic came through in the end for me.

James Blake almost did it. I had a feeling he would do well. I'll post most picks for today later in the afternoon.

Unfortunately he's on the downside of his career. Del Potro might be ripe for the picking here as he clearly isn't playing great tennis and does seem to be bothered by his wrist and cramping.

Nice hit on the parlay. That Cilic match was crazy. The young Aussie might have a bright future ahead of him.

I decided to stay away from Blake, as I saw in interview with DelPo and he says he feels great and is ready to go. I still like JB but we'll see how it goes.

I went with

5 Units each on Karlovic and Henin.

Also went with a big parlay of the big favourites for 2 units. Wawrinka, Cilic, Murray, Monfils, Safina and Jankovic

Good Luck!

Good Luck DJ - Nice hit on the Karlovic and Henin plays. In for a big fight with that parlay. Cilic is in a dogfight with the young Aussie as we speak.

[coreyschucky]

Kohlschreiber won 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2!!!!
Karlovic won 2-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3!!!!
