Pfft, Fed doesn't actually want to break, he just likes having chances to is all.
I CALLED IT!
But yeah... she is just a boss. Her serve opens up so many opportunities for her to attack, and there are the aces too... Also Maria can't read her serve at all, she always goes to the wrong side. lol But yeah, at least it wasn't a complete beatdown.

Watched a bit of the Valencia trophy presentation. They had that Carly Rae Japan song on endless loop the entire time. What a world.
I bet several times on bet365.com. I don't see how betting on Serena can give you any profit though.

How much people won with that round 1 loss for Serena against Razzano (?) in Roland Garros? lol Must have been a lot.

Radwanska took Serena to three sets at Wimbledon so her variety game matches well against Serena. You would think that Maria would adjust her game to give herself a chance to beat Serena, but she seems content playing her game which plays right into Serenas hands.
Pre-match odds were at 1.01/24, but those who bet on Serena didn't win anything. Even if Serena had won, the gains wouldn't be worth the hassle.
I don't think you can make any serious money doing tennis betting unless you're a very hardcore follower. You need to know who's in form and who's not before bookmakers do.
Yeah, but i meant in their YEC match where Radwanska came in totally spent but still was able to bother Serena a little.
I believe that against Sharapova, Serena was only taken 1-2 time to deuce on her serve.
Federer pulled out of Paris.
Heh, should've figured that. I think men's tennis is even more of a gamble tho, I wonder what the odds of Federer/Delpotro wasI bet several times on bet365.com. I don't see how betting on Serena can give you any profit though.

Serena is such a beast. If she can maintain this level for a year or two.....will be a legend.

Moreso lol.
Having the 5th or 6th most grand slams wins isn't nearly as impressive as first or second.
18 is within sight....22 would be a stretch though at her age.
I am talking the title of "the greatest ever".
Serena might be the best player ever but I don't think she could ever become the greatest even if she won 4-5 more slams. The champions of previous eras (Court, Evert, Navratilova, Graf) simply won much much more than Serena has, they have 18-24 slams and ~100 other titles and career win percentage around 90.
Serena might be the greatest in terms of her longevity though.
You could make some nice money betting on delpo in this case

That's why this tournament needs to move to Feb/Mar as recent tournament director comments suggest. It's clear that top guys don't take it seriously. In last 10 years it had different winners, coincidence? Think not. It is so close to WTF that big guys don't want to waste energy. Rog skipped it, Novak didn't wanted to work hard aka didn't give a shit. And I also expect Andy and even Delpo to not care that much. They might still get deep, but I don't think Andy is going to give 100%
Isn't it because Novak's dad is pretty sick in the hospital right now? He might've lost for that reason
His dad is okey now. Novak did have a stomach virus but regardless of all of that top guys tend to ignore this tournament because if you play in the final, the next day you have to be in London and play WTF against best 8 players in the world. It needs to move in Feb, early in the season, everyone would take it seriously because of the ranking early in the season.

God bless Novak's dad if he is sick. They need to cut the season off shortly after the US Open and then have a proper lead up to Aus with the Asian swing.

Not wanting to sound like a snob, but called it yesterday. Both are out. Tournament needs to move to February ASAP
Not all of guys tanking in Paris are going to do well in London. Basically they missed out on "easy" 1000 ranking points.

Murray loses to unseeded players all the time in non-slams. I don' think they are tanking, they just don't have their mindset at the same level as they do in a major.
I think this Janowicz guy will shoot up the rankings next year though. He has an interesting game, the guy is over 2m high and his tactics against Murray is a frequent use of dropshots? What's better is that it was effective more often than not.

Llodra vs. Querry is live on the Tennis Channel atm. No one is clapping for Querry

Please no, Raonic and Isner are the only monster servers the tour needs, and even then it's too much.
Although his serve probably isn't as big as either of those guys, and his ground game isn't as dull. Still meh.
Good for Radwanska though, now she finally has someone decent for Hopman Cup/Olympics!

BTW, WTF draw out:
SMH @ them giving Roger the easiest group imaginable.
Group A is crazy stacked.

It's all good, the ATP will just slow down the courts even more to counteract all the big servers.

It was a draw wasn't it?
