A Clement vs A Bogomolov

Bogomolov is putrid on clay, Clement should win this. Even though he is old, he is also a fighter if not injured.

i backed bogo pre match so hoping he gets through this

is it worth backing clement

bogo collapse here

this match is just getting bizarre now!! definately going to 5 sets.

Arnaud Clement. What a player. What an entertainer. Always playing 5 sets. Always thinking of entertaining the crowd. Seriously, how many five-setters has this guy played in his career?

love Arrrno

Someone should tell Clement to retire. These bastards are taking up spots which could go to young players

the question is will he win it in 5 though? haha

this match is more important for clement

clement fooked up here

clement finished now

what price did you back him at?

all clement had to do was just to push the ball into court bogo would have made ue

both receiving treatment now..

now bogo loses the match

his serve has gone

or maybe not ;-)

of course having a slightly injured opponent puts the pressure on Clement

OMFG

looks like it's clement who is the more injured

lol

what a performance from clement 2 games in a row

both times 40-15 up and worst tennis i ve seen a long while

Think i'm gonna get the crack pipe out, today has been the most stressful i can remember.

LOL
3 all in returns :)

well its 0-40 now lets see if this time he can do anything

u got to be fu***** kidding me

he's knacked though

clement limping pretty bad

Has this pr*** got a brain how about throwing in a drop shot

which one?? haha

getting the pipe out now, can't take any more

So Bogo can't serve and clement is French oh dear all round

pathetic on both sides but if bogo's shoulder is troubling him so much he can't hit probably that might out trump clements lack of movement. It's a bit like those bear vs shark type of arguments

where did that service game come from?

clement legs gone. acting or real I don't know

yes but he's almost over the finishing line now

lol it's clement doing the drop shots

Bogo just trying to spank the pants of each ball. Sometimes it comes off.

feel its game over now

well clement deserves it I think

wtf was that return?

40-00 to Deuce. come on you strange little french man

allez

almost there

Did he retire or was it point penalty?

truly this has never happened before!

Did he retire? i wasn't concentrating?

retired at mp

jeez, that was painful. too bad bogomolov isn't through to the next round to meet someone decent who would certainly beat him.

says "ret" on the official scoreboard

set betting will be voided

I was on Clement but this was really sad. Both of them were half dead and Bogo just cramped up horribly.

OMG

lost €3k on that retirement

Sorry Pal I take that back, did you have set betting

yes

Will they Not Refund your stake ??

It says in Flashscores.com that it ended 6-4

sorry caramba didn't mean to laugh at you rather the farce with the way it ended

i had it with a void bookie... i am seething like f*ck here

ITV said 6-4 as well but it was a retirement, couldn't even serve

I had mixed set betting with match odds market. set betting will be void, match market loss. stupid umpire, he should given bog a point penalty for 2nd time violation and there would be no retirement.

dlarssonf, it's ok, maybe I can laugh about it too one day.

fcked up caramba, sorry about that
should be a rule you can't retire at mp in a fifth set and point just be rewarded to the other player
insane

Oh I see ....I was actually thinking that myself as to why the Umpire did not give the Violation, is he stupid or something

Only thing I can think why the Umpire did not give the Violation is because it was such a tense and tight ending to the game and it would be a bad way to finish, but surely rules are rules

I hope so mate, I hope you win it back pretty quick

he gave the first violation. must surely have been about to do the 2nd

this tw4t has retired match point down before

i was hoping you was just messing around

Really aaron, What clown he is then...I mean I don't understand why he did not just hit 2 double faults and be done with it ...

it wasn't €3k loss, it was actually €5k loss now that I looked more closely.

Arnaud Clement, he always makes tennis interesting.

Wow just imagine all the void bookie bets, set bets that were one point away from happening, they must be seething like crazy

at least I'll have something else than Slamtracker to seethe about for a while.

@ShankTennis He didn't retire, he was docked a point for time violation on MP.

Apparently the umpire read the final set score in the Clement-Bogomolov match as 6-4.

i'm in the process of being rear ended by Simon (the one in the green shorts)
to cheer you up a little

who won lol

caramba you may have hope yet mate!!

who knows

anyway i am still seething

i don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Aaronh, what can we do? RG site says 5-4 retirement.

Who is this guy on Twitter?

Phone Betfair Pal...

Well I hope it works out for you

think they are just 2 bloggers

just don't. it's useless false hope and idiots on twitter. sorry but the point wasn't played

it's unprecedented i think but

I'm not really good at this twitter but it seems this unseedlooming guy, who originally said it was a point pen, later said this when the other two said it was a retirement
unseeded & looming ‏@unseededlooming
@newballsplease @shanktennis I stand corrected.

weird how it said 6-4 ret. though at first

you're right nofx

I'm very confused here about my result. final loss 3400 euro (not €3k, not €5k), would have been a 370 euro win if the match had been completed. freak loss really, not much you can do. will be more careful with bogo in the future.

wish i wasn't, no point to seeth twice though

don't think this was dodgy, he's just not fit enough. i mean what can be gained from voided bookies bets as opposed to him losing?
no one can have counted on him to win and it went terribly wrong and he had to resort to this. can it?
or am i being terrribly naive?

no, there was nothing dodgy about it.

Well the fact that bogo who imo is a very dodgy player with some very suspicious results if you follow him..Add on to that he has done this before and just has the air of a fixer about him..

I know that might be stupid to some of you but he just gives of that impression, It is no coincidence imo that Bogo the new davy retired at mp down.

Bogomolov is a scumbag of the lowest order, people who bet on him know that before they put their money on so are obviously doing so at their own risk.

can someone confirm that betfair voided set betting pls! on the Fr Open and ATP site it shows Bogo retired.
Thanks.

I am surprised that people are still involved in Boogie's matches in one way or another. This guy is worse than davytanko or anyone IMHO. Just look back at the number of matches whereby he takes the first set and then went on to lose the match, its just unreal. Stats wise, he might be the worst final set ATP player ever, in the top 100/200. I will not be surprised if he's controlled by a syndicate or something along that line. Came with a bang, having some great wins and performances (presumably to get punters on his side). And then a string of very dodgy losses, especially in mickey mouse events. Wouldn't bet on him with stolen money. That said, i think its a pretty good strategy to lay him when he's ahead in a match, based on recent performances.

And also, if you are truly in poor form and keeps losing matches, it ok (like Mr. Golubev), but to consistently lose from a winning position just shouts out DODGY
