FRENCH OPEN 2007

Tursunov - Verdasco
I´m on the russian here too. It´s a try but this odds for Tursunov are too good to leave it.
No H2H stats and both aren´t the greatest clay player.Verdasco 3 first round outs on clay in this season, two times versus Gasquet. Tursunov could have some trouble cause the spanish player is a left hander but he´s the 25th of the ATP Ranking and I hope he can manage it..

Andreev - Massu
I´m on the south american here.The south american are the better clay players for me. H2H is 1-1, the clay match was won by the russian 3-1 sets.Both are 1.82m,weight 80kg an play with the right hand. No differents here but for me Massu has the better form on clay.Andreev with 6 starts on clay, 2 first round outs,1secound round.Massu is better in ranking and the odds for him are also too good to leave it without a try.

double Massu,Tursunov
odd: 8.17
stake: small

Good luck

uhh... see Hewitt - Gaudio .. The australian isn´t a good clay player.
No clay courts in australia .. that you could see here ..

Gaudio gave up the 3rd set but I´m sure that he´ll win 3-1 (in sets).Only a one set break for the man from buenos Aires ...

[Napoleon Solo]

Gone for a similar treble to RC,

Montañes to beat Gulbic, Karlovic to beat Bjorkman, Moya to beat Serra - treble @ 2.80

Tursunov/Verdasco following Ljubicic-Wakrinka on court 2

totally changed Hewitt now and Gaudio with his old problem - he play against himself!

Hewitt to win

[Wittmann 44]

I really hate tennis sometimes.

Having stuck to a rigid staking plan for the last while I proceeded to bet 2 times my maximum stake on Zabaleta to beat Patience. Don’t ask me why. I had a reason I’m sure.

Zabalete proceeded to go two sets down. Oh fcuking well. He then clawed back the third. I began to hope. He romped the 4th. I began to hope again. He had 2 break points in Patience’s first game but couldn’t convert. He got broken early in the fifth but broke right back. He had 8 further break points including 4 in the 9th game when Patience was serving to make it 5-4. He lost them all. I knew what was coming of course . Zabaleta proceded to lose his service game. Patience had two breaks in the fifth set – he took 2. Zabaleta lost despite scoring 11 points more than Patience. What a fcuking bummer.

What a cnut (that’s me and Zabaleta). Biggest choke in a long while .

Ouch, that sounds a nasty one, Wittmann

Why am I getting the increasingly anxious feeling that Wawrinka's planning another amazing escape to screw me over again? Came from 2 sets down to beat Ramirez Hidalgo the other day, and today he was 2 sets down and a break down in the 3rd to Ljubicic, and he's just fought back to take the set on a tiebreak. I'm starting to get nervous

uchh. . look at these monster Williams on the centercourt. ...

But her opponent isn´t ugly

[rene]

important re-break here for the russian Tursunov ...

2-4 in the first. *winner fist*

[live play on Court 7]

[rene]

6-4 in the first
3-2 in the second so far.

Looks that Verdasco has a better performance than at least today...
The russian needs a break. in the 2nd ...

[Wittmann 44]

If Karlovic blows this game against Bjorkmann from a 2 set lead I will officially have the worst days betting in about two years . I actually debated laying Karlovic off at 1.09 when he was 2-0 up so paranoid was I about the creaming I had on Zableta.

I never ever win a 5 setter for some reason. His game seems to have fallen apart. What odds Bjorkmann winning two games from 2 sets down in a row?

Need to change my pants

[rcgills]

Today's threatening to go very rapidly pear-shaped. Karlovic throws away a 2 set lead against Bjorkman and is into a 5th set decider, Montanes cruises the first two sets against Gulbis 6-1 6-2 before losing the third 6-1 and immediately going a break down in the 4th, and Tursunov is definitely playing catch-up in his game.

Bondarenko, Gallovits and Cipolla all lose, although they were all long shots anyway.

This could yet be a very bad day

than you miss all grand slam tourneys wittmann ..

Tomorrow will be a new French Open day and some other favourites quit.
After the 2nd round we have more quality on the court ...

[Martens]

i stopped placing money on this tour some years now, as from yesterday is over for me in terms of watching also

djokovic thinks tooooooooo much about his self and his abilities, the guy doesnt know anything about tennis( apart from being player),he refered to CAEL! loooolll and to Gasguet lolllllllll as probable winners against nadal or federer in the future,hehe well mr djokovic the road is open for you to win them both!!!, perhaps on your dreams!
