Is there any hope for Istomin here? How well is he playing?
I haven't seen either of them play this week but my feeling is that Delboy is a safe bet.

you can still get 16 or something for Del Boy to win the tourney, which is great because Fed is sick and Nadal hates Del Boy
I got 23 average pre tourney, please start backing him in the outright so I can some off to you later |

What? You didnt put money on Tomic to win the tournament?!

This match is not going to be anywhere near as good to watch as the previous.

Lanky old Bigfoot-esque Del Potro against bland blond Tin-Tin-esque Istomin.

agree it will be so one sided

Istomin def. Del Potro 6-1 6-2.

Srichaphan why so much belief in Istomin?
|
|
By:
His confidence, the way he has been playing, slow courts.
|
|
By:
He will beat Del Potro, and then he will beat Federer. And then Nadal will beat him.
|
|
By:
And then Nadal will lose to Djokovic, again.
|

By:
S or A knows nothing about tennis, he just thinks he does
DelPo is going to crush Istomin easily. Then he will batter Federer at which point I will trade him out. Also backed Djoko at 2.94 all the way into 2.68... Mark Miwordz |

Srichaphan or Ancic?
And then Nadal will lose to Djokovic, again. ------------ AGAIN??? nooooo... you mean this:  ohhh, myy.... |

By:
I think its only after Kerber/Li game... at least it was scheduled for the same stadium
|
|
By:
Not sure this will be as one sided as some people think but I do agree that Delpo will win this and probably in 2

"often when you see a player running around his back hand it means he's not that confident on that side"
No REALLY? ha ha  |

Crazy market, 5-5 and still at SP.

Del Potro should be losing this, but he's sneaking it on a tiebreak again.
|
|
By:
He should be losing this?
 |
|
By:
Obvious fishing, anyway, was a freak break back.
|
|
By:
Delpo had 14 points more in 1st set, and still hardly managed
the set in his favour... unbelieveable... |
|
By:
I don't think Del Potro should be losing necessarily, just that his price should not have been that short going into the TB based on SP.
So far it has all been on Del Potro's racquet, Istomin just staying in the rallies for the most part and the break back was just lack of concentration. |

By:
Stats show Del Po has the upper hand in a major way, on both first and second serve % won. But the second half of this match has seen Istomin being the one with the slight upper hand.
|
|
By:
I said it before, Istomin loves slow courts. He is a terrible mover, and Roddick exposed him last time they played, but on slow courts when he has more time to move and set up his shots, thats where he is far more dangerous.
|
|
By:
I mean Del Po isn't a particularly good server for being 6'6, his serve is always susceptible to going off the boil. And he is also not dominating from the back court against Istomin. I still think he'll take it in straights, but Istomin could take this to a third. Hell, he could win it, if Del Po's serving remains this erratic. I mean 6'6, come on man, you should have a better serve.

Why have the layers suddenly got keen?
|
|
By:
Still too early to say that this is how the 2nd will play out, but 2nd set stats are starting to favor Istomin, while Del Pos stats seem to be faltering. Still, it is early in the 2nd so those numbers will be skewed. Del Po still got better stats for the whole match, but there is no doubt Istomin is faring better in the 2nd, so far.

Forget the stats it's Istomug

By:
Need the stats to know at least how we poll the player is faring on 2nd serve points won, and its not good for Istomin. But, I think Istomin's style of hitting it flat and low over the net bothers Del Po, so he better finish him off when he gets the chance. I think Istomin is doing really well so far. Definitely troubling Del Po more than one would exepct.
