Good Luck...Like it as well...Only problem two shitty Clay players but Srichiphan should get the job done.:thumbs:

[BaMan]

thx Corey GL also!! Srichaphan also coming off a big "play of the week" for the ATP tour, LOL for what little that's worth:bbang:

[coreyschucky]

Congrats...Very easy winner by the Thai!!!!:thumbs:

[BaMan]

thx man!!! thanks for confirming the WINNER!! BOL today...may see what looks good for later!:gulp:

1-0 +.5 units

Later are all high odd matches..Lowest odd match tonight is Ginepri. I think he'll advance past his good friend.

Fish on Clay 7-13
Ginepri 14-12

Neither play on this surface often in there career so there aren't that many results. Ginepri owns a 3-0 H2H record with one 2 set win this season on Hard.

thx bro, Genepri looks like a solid play, the line is up to -190 though , i'm still thinking about going small on it, GL Cor!:thumbs:

I think I may go with you on the last 3 matches, Genepri, Grosjean, and Calatrava....just curious about Calatrava since you're laying 3.7 to get 1...i know you obv. like the play but is that the reason you stay away from risking so much to get back 2 or 3 units on that play since the juice is so high?? In simpler terms, do you feel as strong about that play as you would a 3 or 4 unit play with say -110 juice??...thanks man....shouldnt have many more questions after these....just trying to get a feel for how you've been doing well with managing the $$...thanks again!:bbang:

[coreyschucky]

Ok well here's what I'm going to say about those other 2 matches.

Calatrava is 1-8 this season but is a decent clay court player. Donald Young will eventually be a good player but not for another couple of years if he hasn't lost any confidence by then. Young is just 16 years old and has been throw to the wolves so far on the tour. He's 0-4 this season and has basically gotten hammered in his 4 matches. He's a typical American player so his best game is on Hard court. From what I hear he's not the greatest on clay. Still he's going up against Calatrava and Calatrava is just 1-8 on the season. Still think Calatrava should advance easily but you never know. As for Grosjean and Phau. I've seen alot of people that play tennis play on Phau tonight due to Grosjean's poor season. Neither player has been good this season as Grosjean is just 4-7 while Phau is 2-3 on tour but 9-9 overall. Grosjean when on top of his game is a top 20 player but hasn't shown that at all this season. Phau is a player who splits between Challengers and the main tour. Neither player are natural Clay courters as both don't have great histories on this surface. Grosjean chose this tourney I believe to pick up a few wins on the Clay surface. He could have easily stayed in Europe to play in Barcelona but that tourney is significantly harder. I just think when it comes down to it Grosjean is the better player. On him big and I've seen alot of people fading him tonight so hopefully he'll come through.

[coreyschucky]

By the way managing my money hasn't gone well today if you haven't noticed. Started off poorly from the start with the big loss on Saulnier. Alot of people lost alot of money on that match. Saulnier had one of the worst matches ever. Rochus also didn't help either has each completely choked up a break in the final set and lost the next 4 games.

Good Luck!!!!

[BaMan]

thanks again bro!! just to add...a somthing that may keep me from adding too much to Caltravara, is one common opponent...

Young played Lisnard (1 of his only 4 matches in his career) and kept it somewhat close...similar to what Caltravara did in this match here in 99...

***Caltravara vs. Linard 1999
Sao Paulo, CH, Clay, R16

Brazil Clay R16 Lisnard 3 6 3 6


***Young vs Lisnard 2005
Tennis Masters Series, 3/21/2005, O, Hard , Draw: 96

R128 Lisnard, Jean-Rene (FRA ) 56 4-6 5-7


- I dunno just thought i'd throw that out there to see what you thought....other than that I like Caltravara big!! but anything can happen...but i may take my chances...

[coreyschucky]

Lisnard is a good clay player as opposed to what he does on Hard. It's hard to compare results like that especially that far back. Players are different now then they were then.

[BaMan]

yeah, I figured that...just thought i'd throw that out there just incase it happened to have at least some level of 'significance' LoL...

anyways, gunna go with the experience here...

1 unit Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo (-245) Over Wayne Arthurs - 4/19 9:00 AM

[BaMan]

what a fuckn joke, that wasn't even close...that's what i get for not looking into the match myself:bang: :bang: Arthurs was the better value play from looking into it, oh well, live n learn

0-1 -3 units for the day

[coreyschucky]

Ramirez Hidalgo was the play. Arthurs is not a clay player at all. Just a bad match by Hidalgo.
