*Official* Tennis Thread

I don't think you're sprouting drivel. It's just for three years you've banged on about tennis betting and I've finally shamed you into sharing the love. You told me
Two years ago over a steak at Martin Place Bar you'd tip me into tennis betting and you never did.

*Sigh*

He never calls.... :-(

If you had backed my picks you could buy a second car so when you drive to work and then take public transport back home because you forgot you drove in, it wouldn't matter

FMD it feels fantastic having an Aussie tennis player who is a gun and not a tool. Been far too long.

only a massive tool loses after being two sets up

As all of the media will tell you Spikey, Kyrgios may have lost the match, but he won the hearts of Australia.

I prefer a bloke who does his best to win. Which I think Kyrgios did last night. Too many times I see "professional" sportspeople get their preparations wrong and face a similar task to that Kyrgios did and give up. He actually tried to think his way through last night and get to the finish line. That's the guy I want on my team.

Serena + Kerber + Pennetta first set multi - too easy.


Jerzy loses the first set again, apparently he doesn't like to be in pole position early on.

he loses and he's a hero and tomic gets injured and he's a villain

Down a set and a break now. Your boy better lift ffs

 

[NUFAN]

He has decided to tank, Jerzy seems content with 75K.

 

[Jono]

Semis bound.

[NUFAN]

Semis bound.

It's not over yet boi.

My girl Kerber through the fourth too.

 

[Jono]

Break down in the third. He's done.

 

[NUFAN]

I blame you, he was going along fine before you bet on him.

I'm not even really looking forward to the Cricket today because of the tennis. All this sport isn't helping me with my assignments though. Sport, why don't you provide me with information on cyberspace regulation..

 

[Jono]

First lost bet of the season because of Nufers.

 

[NUFAN]

Bad luck Jono. I think my other 7 'quarter winners' that I predicted are still in the running. Lol at Ch7 showing an early round doubles match. I also hate how they put an Aussie flag beside our player but don't care where the other players are from.

 

[Jono]

Haha Richard Hinds has a parody campaign on Twitter to fix that #flagsforall

 

[NUFAN]

Good man.

I just lost a bet, in the Na+Safarova match - I was thinking Safarova has a chance here, I'll go 9.5+ games in the first set. Started off happy, but then Li Na was just so ordinary the entire set..

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Disagree with Sharapova wanting a figure on what constitutes heat. Feels too much like the cricket light metres, which seems to create different "overall light" for play.

 

[Jono]

Safarova served for the match and couldn't see the ball while serving

Will no doubt lose the third set now.

 

[Jono]

Would NOT surprise me given their respective form. The heat favours Ferrer but I'm pretty sure all the outdoor afternoon matches will be suspended anyway.

Maybe I don't really understand odds, but I think there's better value elsewhere than Ferrer. $1.40 is still a pretty clear favourite.

Well its all percentages. $1.4 means Ferrer is only about 71% to win. I reckon he's 80%. Hence I believe value.

Obviously if you think Ferrer is less than 71% chance to win you see those as wrong.

I can't see any better value elsewhere in pre-match odds. What matches are you referring to?

Ferrer
