Thursday:


4* Mardy Fish -160 over Tomas Zib

I don't have access to tennis parlays so that hurts for me at times. Mardy and Zib are both playing about the same tennis (Fish 5-6 YTD, Zib 7-8 YTD). Difference is Zib is primarily a Challengers player and don't often play players of the capabilities of Mardy (I think when his head is in the game he can be a big threat). The game is being played in Florida, where he resides and on US soil, motivations should get him over Tomas Zib, who hasn't done anything at all in his career to date. Zib is a .500 hard court player and Mardy 'should' be playing a lot better than he is. Mardy has beaten Soderling and Blake so far this year and has gotten to the 2nd round in 4 of his 5 events (this is the first round). Included in his losses is Federer and losing to Dent and Gaudio at the start of 2005 when they were red hot themselves. I need to trust Mardy here, he has the more complete game, I'd say 7 or 8 times out of 10 Mardy gets the win here, hopefully today is one of those times.

If I win this I'll be back with another more than likely

Bad collapse by the Frenchman yesterday, let Mardy right the ship today

[Tommy]

GL Buck!, knock em dead today Bro :wink:

[Buckery]

The famous Mardy choke is currently taking place.

7-6, 5-4 serving for win

now 7-6, 6-7 down a break in the 3rd...

Pathetic

[Tommy]

It was a struggle for Fish, but he came through :D

Nice Buck!

[Buckery]

Rollercoaster Mardy :D

7-6, 6-7, 6-3

Good job at the right time Mardy.

[Tommy]

SWEET!!!!!!!!! :D

ADDING:


3* Stefan Koubek +230 over Jeff Morrison

You can throw odds like this at me. Morrison now 0-5 YTD and has now lost his last 7 matches overall. Losses to Gasquet, Dancevic, Dupuis, C. Rochus and the young Monfils shows me Jeff isn't that stunning, not now or ever. He's American, that might be one of the few things he has going for him here. Koubek on the flip side is a better player but has missed the last 5 months due to a ATP ban, he hasn't played since early November of last year. BUT, in comparison to Morrison, at 80% Koubek can probably win, imo. Koubek late last year was on quite a run beating Ljubicic, Gaudio and Srichaphan all at a single event. Other wins include Gonzalez, Schalken, Rusedski and Henman. It's been shown he can handle a good serve and will likely face one tonight in Morrison. Tricky lefty here I feel has a strong chance to beat Morrison. The line reflects Koubek's time off, I can't put too much into that here.

3* Antony Dupuis +170 over Victor Hanescu

Another battle of the average tennis players, odd thing here is Dupuis (although older) is a better hardcourt player than Hanescu. Victor's only win was against Fillipo Volandri (very weak hardcourt player) at the Australian Open, other than that he's been very flat on the surface. Although Antony isn't a great player, he has shown some very strong results on the surface, wins against Spadea, Chela, Calleri and close matches with the likes of Max Mirnyi. Hanescu doesn't impress me at all and is 1-8 in his last 9 matches on hardcourt. Just can't trust the guy here. Dupuis has traded service games with some pretty good players in the past, Hanescu not to their level, I'll try here.

Both these guys can win, I don't get these lines.

GL!

LOL, Thanks as always

I liked other things I didnt play today, always shy away from the + plays. They intimidate me. Bro always says I need to play seeing I kick myself daily for not.

I hope for a sweep today, would be real nice.

[Tommy]

Ill be rooting for you as always Buck!! :wink:

[Buckery]

Dupuis was doing a fair job in the first until 4-5 then he got broken for 4-6

Argh Antony! :D

[Buckery]

Yeah, he's lost a lot of service points here

Seen 40-15 go to deuce too often here.

[Tommy]

yep Buck, Dupuis is a very streaky player, hopefully he comes back for you :wink:

[Tommy]

Apparently the stupid scorebaord has stopped :x

[Buckery]

I noticed that

Hopefully he's not down 5-1 when it comes back

[Buckery]

Antony is actually threatening to break now...

Lets go baby!

[Buckery]

Scoreboard on the blink...

Dupuis loses 4-6, 1-6

Come on Koubek

[Tommy]

Sorry even worst 6-1 Buck, Just get Koubek and youll be fine!

Hernych is pretty muvh done ever since 6-3 in the tiebreak hes doing a complete choke job
