Lay of the day Almagro 1,19

I thought the same thing before the match vs Goffin he really didn't have much time to go to monaco - Nice airport has no direct line from north america as far as I know and it worked for the first set but Almagro should be fresh enough today.

it's Mugzer, ffs

I don't see how Almagro needs a break. He had plenty of rest between Miami and Houston and only played 9 sets last week. Apparently he's pretty good at passing out into a deep sleep whenever he wants (he sleeps in the locker room before matches) so he won't be jet lagged and he's been here a couple of days now. He'll be fine. This tournament is a good opportunity to pick up some points after a pretty early exit last year.

Lay Almagro on clay ?   brave

He doesn't exactly need to travel with some regular airlines. He has money and the price he could earn here is worth

will see

Price is low mugro often has ups and downs in the match

And mugzer can beat anybody, he beat mugro here as well already. Mudro serve is great but melzer is also great returner

Agree smb almagro wants to and also needs to improve his masters points if he wants to be a top10 over the next 5 years and he can do it possibly. Anyway I remember melzer playing a great tournament here 2010 or 2011 so a small fun bet on melzer for me.

Mugzer doesn't care what mugro wants. Two mugs of the top playing and one is 1.18. That's funny.we all know how those matches can go

also left handers vs one-handed backhands on clay is something special

Melzer can motivate himself against top ranked players, but he underperformances against other low rated mugs.

left-handed austrians are the greatest clay courters! Spain only dopage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

almagro forehand looking very strong so far

no backhand rythm though

look like mugzer may hit evens if get a match point

mugro

don't ever use that pic after having made successful trade on marathon markets



too soon?

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss he really needs a break swebih - after the goffin match I thought he was there but melzer challenge was enough there - credit to him. I'm sorry that I only placed a small bet but Gulbis is my horse today all the melzer winnings going on gulbis

seems like beebee had a dabble on mugro

muro wat a lazy point commentator "and with the left hand he hit winner what a bizzare point" lol commie doesnt know that melzer is leftie,watching 2 sets of play

It was bizarre because Mugro didn't even try to smash but just turned his back and pushed it back into court as though he didn't care at all.

thanks caramba

yeah but  on the top of that melzer played with left hand according to commie so the bizzareness was whole thing including using the left hand

get in Jurgen

good call swebish! followed on this one. there should be more people like you in here and less clowns like bb66 for the good of this board.

vwp

well done swebih

gracias

I had no bet, but as a compatriot of Mugzer, who had shown nothing so far this year on clay and cost me in DC I wasn't expecting this, his win there was in his prime year 2011, he's far from that form. It was for a reason that noone had tipped Mugzer in competition

Yes, good call swebih.
