Wednesday:
Feelin' good about today.
Stake 5/5
Karlovic (Stella Artois)
Nadal (Stella Artois)
Hewitt (Stella Artois) = -104
Big, big service from Karlovic, nothing changes there and grass is the best place for him to show it. 13-8 on the ATP tour on grass since 2004. He's taking on a challengers player for the most part here and Karlovic does well on that tour most times. Kuznetsov will likely be nothing more than a practice partner here. Kuznetsov is 2-9 all time on hardcourt, how about 140+ coming straight at ya? Karlovic breaks here he should win.
Nadal has big weapons and he showed that last year at wimbledon. He's got the all around game and the muscle and power to win these tournaments on grass. 8-2 last year for Nadal. In 5 sets played this year against Del Porto 3 on clay, 2 on hardcourt Rafa hasn't dropped a set. Bageling the guy on the faster surface. Nadal has one of the best forehands in the game, he should still fair well with his topspin game on the grass. Looking forward to him kicking ass, hopefully no tiredness here. He's a young kid.
Hewitt's best surface grass? 39-8 on grass since 2002. Taking on a challenger. Hewitt is fresh off an absence and I've mention before that playing the guy has been a joy. He'll pressure Tsonga tommorow. Even though Tsonga has been making finals in much lesser quality events but 7 ATP matches in the last 4 years or so makes it easy to take a guy who is all to familiar with grass and with Queens. Really liking the parlay today hopefully money.
