I obviously wasn't looking hard enough:
Stake 3/5:
Max Mirnyi +3.5 +120 over Rafael Nadal (Stella Artois)
Big Belarussian is Mirnyi and even bigger serve. It's shown by his results: 2-0 this year, 6-3 last year, 9-3 the year before that. Lets face it, some guys all they need on grass to get by a lot of matches is a booming first service. Rafael Nadal should win this match but I can trust Mirnyi to challenge well here and protect his service a number of times. Even though Nadal is a great player on clay he's not that outstanding a return of serve. I will trust Mirnyi to take at least 1 set to a tiebreak here if he's having trouble breaking Nadal, if Max manages to get a set I will win my bet. He's been really good on the surface the last 3 years, Nadal just coming off the slow stuff and I've seen too much crazy shit this week so far. Lets see Mirnyi boom his way into a real show of a match here. He will attack the net and force Nadal into tough passing shots, we'll see how up to it he is.
+ money and all that here, why not.
Lets see some W's again.
