FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!

Paying 3.00 vs. James Blake... couldn't resist, and he squashes him in straight sets. Love it.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

The rankings beyond three aren't worth the paper they're written on imo. Too skewed by injuries and the have to play Masters system.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I nearly got 20 bucks on Fish over Blake, wish I did.

 

[Jono]

Federer paying 1.14 to beat Radek Stepanek. Never thought I'd see the day that he'd be paying so much in a Grand Slam vs. Stepanek, even considering he lost in straight sets to him during the clay season.

Fed also paying 1.72 to win in 3 sets.

Djokovic not getting it all his own way against Cilic here, 6-6 in a first set tiebreak.

 

[Jono]

Loses the first set

 

[_Ed_]

Djokovic takes the second 7-5.

Been impressed by Cilic though.

djokovic through in 4, takes the 4th set tie breaker 7-0...

 

[Jono]

Cilic was very impressive. Will be looking out for him in future tournaments. I feel he and Wawrinka will come good in the coming years.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Kudos to the DJ at Flushing Meadows. Just played Madness.

(Oh, Nadal's winning. What else is new. Blake out of world top ten too. )

Blake may have technically been in the top 10 but he's never been a top 10 player. So rubbish

Fish just beat Monfils

He's the new Soderling for now. Often paying 2.50+ when he's in the same class as his opponents.

Fish>>>>>>Soderling. Not sure how anyone can really rate him as having much ability at all tbh.

 

[Jono]

At the end of the day, the fact is Soderling will be paying 3-3.50 against the likes of your Blake, Monfils, Berdych, Ljubicic and stuff, and often beat them. It makes him a good value bet.

You're right though, Fish is the better player.

Meanwhile Murray spanking Wawrinka atm. Hopefully he can fight back.

 

[Francis]

I can't stand Djokovic. He's a moody little thing. The crowd might not boo him, but if they're in his opponents favour, he doesn't like that. He keeps track of who's getting the better reaction in every match. He's a clown who wants everybodies love. LOOK AT ME! LOVE ME! I'M FUNNY! I'M ENTERTAINING!

Nole you just got served by the Frank!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Andreyev up a break against Feds already. 2-1, admittedly.

 

[Burgey]

Fed now up 2 sets to 1, having lost the 1st in a tie breaker.

 

[Anil]

on the verge of losing the 4th...it is sad to see feds struggle against someone like andreev...

 

[Simon]

Davydenko loses to Muller

Douchebag

 

[Simon]

Would love to see a Gonzalez vs Del Porto final, could be some fairly massive shots in that match.
