Atp site head to head doesn't show that, but I'll take your word for it.

[Break Point]

Granville kills parlay, and Bugerchef gets smoked, but Gimelstob lookin good and Moodie, peer already in, and much rather hit the big plays and lose the small ones anyday. Good start.

Cappin the porsche WTA right now.

[$@M]

Dammit ~!!! Gimelstob lost the 2nd set in the TB ~!!! But he's up 3-2 in the final set... hope he pulls it off and win this ... i got a couple of nice parlays with him in them... well, he better hit~

[freerain]

he lost in the last two sets with 6-7 and 6-7

A Waske (GER) d J Gimelstob (USA) 36 76 76
(from atptennis.com)

i lost too..

[Break Point]

ya, saw that score posted at xscores too, hope it is wrong, but doubt it.

Tough loss there if it is correct, down a little on the night, but not anything to hurt.

[Break Point]

It is now on the official site too, damn u JG!!!!!!!

[Break Point]

2-3 -$180 so far tonight

[Break Point]

didn't play it, but how about Jamea putting a bagel on Craybas and then getting double breadsticked?

Crazy

$200 to win $227 Bondarenko(-175) X Dechy(-277) Bondarenko won only heads up 6-4,6-2 in this tourney last year and Dechy 2-0 heads up with Alicia and Molik is in TERRIBLE form, while Dechy coming off very nice show last week.

[Break Point]

$100 to win $149 Chela(+149) Monfils has had a tough go of late dropping 4 straight 1st round matches and I think his confidence is sagging and he may be tired as well. His game is built around speed and I think he takes too many chances right now and although he definitely has all the tools, he hasn't learned how to "play" the mental game. Kind of like a big league pitcher that throws instead of learning how to "pitch".

$100 to win $138 Andreev(+138) 1-1 heads up with Igor TROUNCING PHM on clay 6-0, 6-2, 6-1 in last meeting earlier this year and although the switch in surface won't help Igor, he is in great form, PHM is a headcase, and think he will try to hard for revenge here and make too many errors. Igor keeps his streak of nice play going here. The only reason this isn't larger play is the switch in surface and may take Igor a set to get accustomed, but we saw on Sunday that he won't be discouraged even by a first set bagel thrown at him.

$100 to win $197 Beck(+197) Karol had decent run on hards this summer, making semifinals at Indianapolis(lost to Ginepri in 3) then lost 1st rounders to Hrbaty and Ginepri in next two(no shame there), made quarters at Montreal beating Nalby and Davydenko before losing to PHM. He lost to Monfils(no shame) after beating Novak at Cincinnati, then lost a tough 5 setter to Jarkko at US OPEN and we all saw what Jarkko did after that, and then finally beat Coria in straight sets in Davis Cup play. Not sure Gasquet is over elbow problems and so will take a shot that Karol can pull one out at a price here.

JG match really turned things around cuz Vik down 2-6, 4-4 and looks like Vera found her game and rolling Catalina.

Gonna need a rally to avoid starting down $600

Come On(in best Leyton Hewitt voice)!!!

[Break Point]

Vick wins 2nd set 6-4 and leads 2-1 in the 3rd, but due to shit scoreboards no way to know if on serve or up a break.

One thing is for sure, won't get another update until frekin match goes final.

Nothing I hate more than crap scoreboards as it makes the capping harder when you can't get a feel for how a match has gone.

[Break Point]

My god, I am about to go on a rant.

If the ATP and WTA are TRULY serious about bringing tennis back to the glory days, they need to do something about fan access and I think that the fact that they don't at least have stringers at these events that can use a freakin handheld to upload score directly to the atp site so that we don't have to deal with thses ridiculously bad scoreboards would be a great step. I mean what is the point of a live scoreboard if it is frozen for 15-30 minutes at a time?

Hard to handle going through this week after week, so until then

ATP and WTA

Get ur shit together!!!

[Break Point]

Yep, That's it, I am done watching these scoreboards.

I mean when the OFFICIAL tournament website has this score for 45 mins Vik 2-6, 6-4, 2-1 posted and then 45 minutes later posts a final of Kim 6-2, 6-4, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong here. I mean how in the FUCK, does the official tourney website get a score that wrong where they actually have a score for a 3rd set that NEVER EXISTED? Earlier today in the Hrbaty match(totally different tourney) their "official" scoreboard had Hrbaty 3-4 in 1st set and then they post Hrbaty 6-3 WINNING the first set somehow after being DOWN 4-3 he wins 6-3. I mean you can't make this stuff up, it is beyond comical

Ok, I think I'm done now, I am still steaming over Gimelstob losing b2b breakers. Tough start to the day for sure, but still up nice overall and the day isn't over. Let's just hope that the French scoreboard has it's act together better today than Japan's was tonight, because that is one sorry excuse for a scoreboard.

2-5 for the day so far, sorry to all the tailers.

[DUlrich1227]

no offense but going against monfils & gasquet in france ?? on indoor hard ??

[Break Point]

Pavel gets back to 3-5 -$525 on the day,

Arthurs on serve 4-4 in the 3rd
