I am Canadian!

Monday:

Parlay: (5 units)

Olivier Rochus -225 over Nicolas Mahut (Montreal)

Rochus is coming off a couple of disappointing tournaments but losing to some VERY quality opponents: Zabaleta 1st round @ Stuttgart (clay) and Verdasco in Kitzbuhel (clay). Olivier is 3-7 YTD on this surface BUT is 13-7 on hardcourt this year. Also was 6-3 during the grass season, see the trend? Mahut on the other hand is challenger/qualifier guy and is 2-13 since 2000 on hardcourt. He went 0-5 last year on the surface and is 0-2 this year (0-7 last 2). Rochus should have little difficulty here with Mahut.

Luis Horna -320 over Mariano Puerta (Montreal)

Horna played great last week @ Washington disposing of Phillippoussis, Hrbaty and Ginepri... Ginepri playing VERY well lately as well. It's been proven Luis can do well on hardcourt, he's only been around a few years and should improve. He's no stranger to acing either, got an above average serve. Puerta on the other hand is Roland Garros runner up but has played 8 hardcourt matches in the last 5 years (2000) and he's 1-7 in those matches. He hasn't played a single hardcourt match this year. His serve and physical stature doesn't help him in this one against a much more 'hardcore' player in Horna

Smack this parlay guys it should be a good one...

GL on the parlay man, looks real solid to me, love the rochus play and something is wrong w puerta, he isnt the same guy who lost to nadal in the french

Tommy · 08-08-05, 02:26 PM

BOL on Horna to complete the parlay Buck

naught33 · 08-08-05, 04:45 PM

yeah rochus won easily, lets hope horna does the same buck!

Buckery · 08-08-05, 05:17 PM

Piece of cake...

naught33 · 08-08-05, 09:43 PM

horna win yet?

Buckery · 08-08-05, 10:17 PM

Puerta up 1 set 7-6

hnyloc · 08-08-05, 10:22 PM

UNBELIEVABLE.. Puerta serving at 80% 1st serves

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 10:26 PM

play look solid Buck, 'hopefully' he can rally. He did that last week. He hasnt played a lefty in awhile so maybe it took him a whole set to bloody adjust.

Puerta HAS NO affinity for this surface, a win here would really be shocking.

routing for ya pal.....

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 10:30 PM

nice hold by Horna, now break him u idiot!!!--make a dent in his serve for heaven's sake.......

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 10:34 PM

0-30 TWO chances at a second serve and 30-30.......Horna is making Puerta's serve look like Roscoe Tanner......

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 10:52 PM

honestly this is truly incredible how Horna cant make a dent in Puerta's average serve. It's insane, he hasnt had ONE break point!! He faced Paradorn last week who has a much more lethal serve and broke him.....crazy match.....

another tiebreak......

naught33 · 08-08-05, 10:53 PM

yeah im surprised by how much horna is struggling on puertas serve..hope he can pull it out for you man

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 10:54 PM

got the mini-break back!!!!! 3-4!!!!

Hope 1 · 08-08-05, 11:08 PM

sorry Buck--his first hardcourt match on the ATP ytd and Puerta wins? especially given his recent form?.......

naught33 · 08-09-05, 12:52 AM

tough match man, get em tomorrow!

Thanks for the encouragement... shocking result indeed

I got Horna at about -320, he ended the day at around -370

Sorry guys, got ahead of myself here. Makes me want to go twice as hard against Puerta in round 2 and likely will.
