Calling JPJ & Canary

I was thinking of backing Verdasco though lol. He has a good record on this surface and Davydenko ghas a habit of being useless

I've gone for Verdy

i haven't seen either of them this week

will be easier to judge after a few games

I just dislike Davydenko. Good start from the Spaniard

yeah he's a ****

verdy serving like a mug

god that was woeful

off work for a week now so can finally enjoy the tennis

and in 4 hours i can get some food in lol

n1
. I'm pretty hungry too. Murray has a shot at winning his first slam here. Is playing well.

lol just had aa vs kk when i was meant to quit previous orbit but someone sat out

and he ran the clock before calling lol

god mugasco needs a good slap lol

looks like he got one

come on verdy

Morning you two. :)

hi. DO you want to join the cheering verdy home thread?

I will be cheering him on, but i've jost got home from poker and now i'm off out to see someone ;)

Go Verdy and good luck JB :)

damn I hate mugasco

Come on Henin!

murray only shade odds on vs rafa

can't resist that

rafa's last 10 matches vs current top 9

10 defeats

Yeah. Why did I bet on wta lol

A win in next game for Henin makes back the cash I lost on not trading mout on Verdy

What a relief. She started to play good at the end.

Canaryboy tipping Murray. That puts my mind at rest with my Nadal bet. Phew.

Morning. :)

Come on Andy................... Roddick

go go roddick

god I do pick my moments.

lol redded out whne he looked tired after winning 3rd set. Now he cant miss!

damn am -20 if roddick wins but was +50 b4 greened out

i can't back someone with such an awful recent record beagel and who is no longer the physical specimen he once was

just woke up

phew

and it really shouldn't put your mind at rest lol

you'd be in huge profit from my tips on here 'tho this is just a selection tbh'

was on rafa last year

meant to be brackets lol

Cilic has been impressive at imploding here

Well played Cillic.

Murray lump job

Only if you don't like money ;)

Am hoping for a repeat of August 2008. Watched highlights of it earlier and forgot how good he played.

Off to watch in bed. Speak later mate.

Good luck Rafa, tennis needs him back winning big matches :)

unlucky beagel

:^0

didn't think he'd punish rafa's serve that much tbh

was man against boy

has to be said very very impressive and maybe he could turn out to be the best british player in a long time.... assuming he wins- if he loses hes still a moaning scottish barsteward ;)

If he can keep that mental strength he could break his slam failure streak.

canary must have gone through several boxes of kleenex during that match. his arm will be more sore than rafas knee

is that why you're so robusto?

tipping murray here was easiest thing ever, just miffed about my 3-0 set betting

Murray ;)

Just as Canary desserts !!!!

is that why you're so robusto?

what this mean lol

murray only shade odds on vs rafa

can't resist that

rafa's last 10 matches vs current top 9

10 defeats

hardly desserted lol

even said i'd quit tennis forum if he lost

canaryboy 23 Jan 19:12


as if

price is a joke with his serve and condition

yeah to win tourney lol

he's had easy draw so far

obviously hope he can win it but couldn't back him from here on in

everyone beats rafa ffs

his serve today wasn't all that great

was clutch on the big points tho

his condition is holding up tho

had a sore back last week

still needs to serve better

his serve needs to improve massively, that Nadal bloke is a mug at returning

Nadal is one of the best returners in the game lol

lol wtf

of course it needs to improve

not like rafa didn't break murray or fail to convert loads of break points

you see someone like federer letting him off the hook?

needs to get that 1st serve in the 60s

canaryboy 26 Jan 12:22

hardly desserted lol

canaryboy 13 Sep

if mug potro wins the us open 09 i'll quit the forum


I think they'd miss you ;)

murray was always gonna break rafa loads cos he has no serve

federer won't be vulnerable like that

so murray needs to be more clinical in his service games cos he won't be breaking for fun

yeah i got one shout wrong jpj

which i think is damn bloody good given all the others i got right lol

but nobody bumps those!

and obviously i wouldn't quit lol

it just emphasises a strong bet

which i have a decent record on

I know mate :)


You know what forums are like, you can have a hundred winners, but it's always the losing thread that gets bumped.

I've noticed your change in support recently. Seems like you have realised whet Federer is all about....Or is this a masterplan to jinx him? ;)

lol i still support him, just not as confident he can win some of the big matches

You've been saying that for 2 years, you're bound to be right eventually :^)

Even though he's 'declined' about 20% over the last 4 years he's still 20% better than everyone else. :)

if murray can serve well and be aggressive, then he can beat fed

sadly he served like an absolute mug in the us open final

but he was tired and inexperienced which won't be the case should he get past cilic

He played like a mug in the US Open, and he has plenty of those performances in his locker. :^0

nah not that many tbh

just some of the massive matches he lets himself down

nerves get to him i think

rafa didnt break him because murray was outplaying him from the back of the court, and when it came down to it his serving was clutch in tight situations

wasnt his serve 66% in 2nd set?

he can beat fed playing like he did today im sure he would love to improve but if he gets to the final vs fed and plays that, well he can really ask for no more. that was as good as nadal has played since coming back from injury against top 10 oppo, and he was well beaten before pulling up

rafa broke him in the first 2 sets tho

that was my point

yeah he needs the 2nd set serving form vs fed

rafa played better than he has done yeah but you're also looking at his worst surface here

it's just that everyone has beaten rafa since the summer so i can't go ott about murray beating him

his worst surface that he won on last year, surely his worst surface is indoors?

both played really good, that's the only thing that matters

yeah they did

ps indoors isn't a surface :p

"just some of the massive matches he lets himself down"

could that be classed as choking mike? ;) not gonna start that argument again as I was impressed with his game today and he didnt let his head drop today after rafa kept coming back at him.

he plays like that v fed (assuming he doesnt blow it v cilic) and he will push him a lot closer than the us final

not quite choking as that's just throwing away a lead and not underperforming

would be great if he could play a final classic with fed

My lucky money is on Murray.

Murray playing better; hopefully will pull ahead now.

hope so soap

very impressive after bening asleep and holding his back for the first set and a half.

nice to see him show a bit of fight- lets hope he can do same v fed in final

after being asleep*

the reverse jinx is working good

hes looked a different man mike. could be the best british player in a long long time.

if he loses final ofc by choking then he will just be a moaning scottish barsteward ;)


if he plays well in final and gets beat by the better man then will say fair play to him. i just really hope he brings his game and doesnt freeze.

he was awful in the 1st set today

way too passive

got to be aggressive from the off vs fed

and serve like he did from sets 2 to 4

was a decent percentage there

Why are people still posting on this thread. The result is already known, see the evidence below

My lucky money is on Murray.

Go Muzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

LOL at Ariston's back-tracking.

I hope Murray comes out for the final in special gear. Some kind of combination scheme blending colours of USA, Slovenia and Algeria. That would really give the whinging English something to squeal about.

Hope he has 235 match points and loses 38-36 in fifth set

and you are?

Think he must be English Mike, lol

Up until a few months ago, he probably lived nearer me than 99.999% of the people who get a chip about the scotland/england thing. So I assume it is OK for me to cheer him too?

Good luck to him in the final. Played superbly all tournament and would be nice to see him win.

Yes, I was going to back him at 8s and didn't, stupid me :(

Sorry canaryboy didn't know you had to be invited to post an opinion on a public forum.

I can't stand whinging Jocks who support "anyone but England"

HTH

no worries

don't do it again please

and no idea what whinging jocks have to with murray

this thread should defo be invite only

canaryboy 23 Jan 19:12
as if

price is a joke with his serve and condition

think fed is a great price tbh


3.8 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Well done Canary

Always knew you would eventually agree with JPJ ....... ;)

fed bit lucky that delpo injured, rafa done, and djok a complete joke these days

So Fed only winning then coz the mens tennis scene is the same as boxing's heavyweight scene?

nah it's just much easier than if these players were near their best

djok 2 years ago was awesome then went downhill

compared to pre nadal era this is still much tougher

Same old Fed ;)

not really

he was much better than last year's finals
