Tomorrow's Plays

[yankeesmarc]

Kuerten (+400) over Federer .5 UNITS
Nalbandian (-708) over Koubek 3 UNITS
Hewitt (-215) over Verkerk 2 UNITS

thats all

the kuerten play is just for the hell of it, and the nalbandian match is a lot of juice, but worth it. also, i thought hewitt would be more of a favorite than -215. good luck with everything.:yeah:

[yankeesmarc]

did new thread instead of reply....oh well, the old thread was getting long anyway

[Horatio]

Like em all but the Federer match. Don't think Guga has gotten back to 100 per cent physically (at least he says he has not yet)...but can see taking the flyer on the upset for .5 unit. The other two I had already placed $$on so I hope we are both cashing...

More controversy, another marathon win for Safin
=====================================

F^^CK him


No, he didn't drop his shorts, the unconventional method of celebration he chose after winning a point earlier in the week.

But for the second match in a row at the French Open, Safin was pushed to match point, rallied and won a five-setter. And once again, he created a fuss.



In a marathon that finished at dusk Saturday, Safin beat qualifier Potito Starace 6-7 (4), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5.

The demonstrative Russian kept his pants on throughout the 4-hour, 25-minute match. But he drew boos when he took an injury timeout to have blisters on his left hand treated and taped while Starace was serving for the match in the fourth set.

Afterward, Starace accused Safin of gamesmanship.

``Surely, he did it to make me more nervous,'' Starace said.

Safin acknowledged that the timeout appeared suspicious but said he needed immediate treatment. To support his case at a postmatch news conference, he held up both hands, which showed eight splotches of orange medication on the blisters.

Most were on his left hand, which affected the right-handed Safin's two-fisted backhand.

``I'm not the kind of person I would take the doctor on a point like that,'' Safin said. ``I couldn't hold the racket from the backhand.''

Said Starace: ``He had blisters on his hand, but he maybe could have stopped earlier. He just decided to do it at a difficult moment.''

Many fans agreed. When Safin closed out the victory, he walked off center court to a mix of cheers and jeers. He raised a fist, then applauded as he headed for the exit.

``It's really sad for me the people couldn't understand,'' Safin said. ``They have their opinion, and I hope their opinion is a little bit wrong. At the end of the day, I hope they enjoyed the match.''

Safin first received treatment for his hand early in the fourth set. Both players held until the ninth game, when Safin was broken to fall behind 5-4. He faced two match points in the next game but erased both with winners.

Then, with Starace still serving at deuce, Safin approach chair umpire Javier Moreno's chair and requested an injury timeout. As they conversed, fans booed so loudly that Safin climbed the first rung of the chair so he could hear Moreno.


Play resumed after the brief delay, and six points later Safin broke for 5-all. Then he broke again to force a fifth set.

As nightfall approached, Safin became increasingly dominant on serve. During one stretch Starace failed to put 10 consecutive serves into play.

At 9:30 p.m., with the match on the verge of being suspended because of darkness, Starace served at 5-6. The Italian ranked 202nd kept coming through in the clutch, erasing five match points, including four with winners -- one on a forehand that ticked the net cord.

Then came the 382nd and final point of the match. Potito hit a backhand into the net, and Safin was the winner.

[Horatio]

is supremely gifted and a bit of a head case...I took him. I suppose gamesmanship is the question or issue. Nonetheles, a W is a W.
I will bet against him net round though, unless I am convinced his injured grip is totally bogus.

:gulp: :yeah:

[coreyschucky]

Nice day yesterday...Congrats...Keep up the great work!!!!

[Horatio]

to be a championship player, you have to overcome gamesmanship. :thumbs:

Jennifer Capriati (USA) vs. (17) Francesca Schiavone (ITA)
=============================================

**Head-to-Head: Capriati leads 3-0

2004 Win--- Lose

Francesca Schiavone - 19-10
Jennifer Capriati - 14-6

--------------------

A runner-up finish in Rome a fortnight ago had Capriati listed as one of the potential titleholders.

The No.7 seed, however, has struggled to the round of 16 here, taken to three sets in two of her first three matches.

Schiavone reached the quarterfinals here on debut in 2001, but has failed to take a set from the American in three prior meetings.



I am taking Francesca Schiavone ..as a live dog....She is playing well & Capriati has struggled a little.

She played 3 sets again yesterday.

I think she don't wanna face determined Serena Williams in next Rd.

Gl to all..................:thumbs:

Hey Good luck...
I like Hewitt....not sure bout Kuerten...

[Horatio]

gotta feel Coria takes home all the marbles...dismantling Moya is no mean feat.
Any idea on the women's side???

:yeah:

[DocGambler]

Hey
I've been doin a typical gamblers research and from the mens side...I think it's totally up in the air...Coria at -550 is way to high...and Gaudio is a stud on clay so don't know which direction to go with,...
As far as Women go, Capriati is the hottest womens player especially on Clay and I like her chances...I also think Suarez is gonna lose this round.....Thats my input...

[365er]

my plays today

myskina+4 over capriati
demenitive -4 over poala
