Re: French Open - 3rd Round On Selections Here
Had another fit of the Zabaletas  and stuck another 3 Points on Dementieva at 1.49. Going to pop out to the boozer to watch this one. Bartoli’s Slam record is abysmal. Never beyond a third round in 23 starts which is pretty poor. Dementieva has been here before – she’s very popular in RG as well. She’s a fluent French speaker and I’ll always remember how well her gracious loser’s speech in the 2004 finals was received. I don’t think the crowd will be a major factor even if the game is on the second court prestige wise.
Venus had a good effort to take a set for me but too many unforced errors cost her. Still nice little profit on the Amazonian
Re Lube. I would probably back him at 1.72 where he has drifted on Betfair but I’m committed now on Volandri at 2.50 so I’m going to let this ride. Volandri is muck on carpet and hardcourt (he says to convince himself). He’s never convinced at RG but neither did the Lube and in his SF run last year the only player of note claywise that he beat was Monaco and he needed sets for that.
Mathieu seems to be making heavy weather of beating Simon. Need another short priced loser like a hole in the head.
