I find the odds interesting on this one given Hewitts superior record against Youzhny (6-1). In their last meeting last year Lleyton was 2.20. Arguably playing as well as ever, I thought he may have come up fav. Am I missing something? I dont think Youzhny is playing any better. Is it a fitness concern, 2nd week and 5 set match?
Market doesn't respect him. Hasn't for a long time. I would never be concerned about Lleytons fitness. If you price him as fave and you're offered 2.34 then i think it's full steam ahead.

I think the market expects him to blow up. as therhino says, its a good price if you have him at evens. I reckon you might have a point. Even if he doesn't win his 6-1 head to head, good record on the surface and experience in Slam Tournaments suggest he should be shorter. It's the sort of bet you can justify even if you're wrong, if you get my drift.

Thanks guys. I held off yesterday but have to have something at the price now. Not going crazy as I respect the market but I think Ian is right. Win, lose or draw I can justify placing the bet.

On the basis of the ATP report, it seems to me that Lleyton tried to lose harder than Youzhny.
Throwing away such huge leads twice drags back memories of Lillee and Marsh's betting exploits.

Hasn't been a great week for the Scots, getting smashed in the 1 day series against Australia and now this. It's quite a flogging, was he distracted by fireworks or something?
