[Wittmann 44]

Fcukity fcuk fcuk. Today sucked big time. A winning bet voided and another that looked certain to be one also voided – in a third a player a set and a break up loses.

Mahut manages to blow a set lead (80% of players convert from this situation). To add insult to injury I had considered backing him with 3 games (won) and backing 3 sets as well (won).



Incidentally there are worrying signs of Verdasco growing a spine in recent games – that’s his second come from behind win against two big hitters and he’s had some decent summer results. Maybe the mercurial one is poised to make a breakthrough?

I thought Svazay was vulnerable. I could have laid her at a hugely tasty 1.30 but instead laid her 2-0 score. She retired after winning first and losing second to void a winning bet. For fcuks sake.

Rochus wins by Kiefer’s retirement when serving at 4-1 up – first set with the Big Blue though so another bet in a winning situation voided. All I needed was for Kiefer to retire in the second set but we couldn’t have that

Of 8 retirements this last 6 months I’ve been involved in only 1 has gone my way.

Finally Karlovioc and Berdych which I felt would go over 21.5 did of course - no bookie offered it and I decided that 3 sets was a good compromise. It wasn't. Days like this make me wonder why I bet
