Wimbledon with Horneris

[Solaris]

Ljubicic @2.28 v Cilic
Riba @7.6 v Haase
Kavcic @ 2.52 v Kamke
Bemelmans @ 2.81 v Benneteau - LOST -20
Istomin @ 4.5 v Kohlscreiber - WON +70
Kubot @ 2.04 v Clement

MJMS @ 3.5 v Jankovic
Kanepi @ 1.8 (2) v Errani - LOST -40
Zahlavova @ 3.1 v Benesova
Martic @ 1.92 v King

Loads of matches left for me so not quite sure how to analyse the day... Happy with getting Istomin, very disappointed with Kanepi and Bemelmans threatened an awesome comeback from 2 sets down but run out of gas in the fifth.

Kavcic is two sets down but 5-1 up in the third so the rain delay couldn't have come at a much worse time for me there. Kubot is 5-4 up serving for the set, Ljubo is 1 set all in a super tight match with Cilic; Zahlavova is a break up but it's only 2-1 and it's the WTA so it means feck all whilst Riba is a 5-4 down with Haase serving for the set.

Could turn out to have been a good day, whilst at the same time it could be pretty poor. We'll see.

Today's action:

Berlocq @ 3.3 v K Beck
Tipsarevic @ 2.3 v Karlovic - hope the extra day's rest will have helped here
Gabashvili @ 2.8 v Andreev
Montanes @ 3.3 v Seppi
Nishikori @ 2.26 v Hewitt

Doi @ 6 v Mattek Sands

If I see anything else I like will edit the post later.

GL all.

Nishikori @ 2.26 v Hewitt - LOST -20

Doi @ 6 v Mattek Sands

I won a quite a fair bit with IR trading, but so far as just outright picks for people to see I don't think I could have been much closer with a lot of then. Stepanek lost having been 2 sets up 9-7 in the fifth, Zahlavova lost 8-6 in the third, Berlocq lost in the fifth having been 2-1 up. Bleh.

Edit: Gabashvili loses in 5. Almost a whitewash second day, very frustrating, but if both Gabashvili and Berlocq win in 5 rather than lose in 5 I'm in profit. Just the way it goes.

-35.6 atm

Carried over:

Doi @ 6 v Mattek Sands - WON +100

+64.4

Muller @ 3.5 v Raonic - WON +50
Sela @ 2.75 v Simon - LOST -20
Istomin @ 4.4 v Fish - LOST -20
Kubot @ 3.5 v Karlovic - WON +50

Dubois @ 7.4 v Petkovic - LOST -20
Zahlavova Strycova @ 3.9 v Schiavone
Parmentier @ 2.04 v Pervak - LOST -20
Medina Garrigues @ 2.88 v Goerges - LOST -20
Pavlyuchenkova @1.67 (2)

Paszek/Pironkova double @2.31

That's me done for the day.

Edit: Hard luck on Raonic, but things like that are why I tend to bet only with those who pay out after the first ball is struck.

PROFIT: 64.4

Surprised you backed Tisparevic to win his 1st round match. After his blow up in the Eastbourne last weekend, it would have been difficult for him to get himself into the right state of mind, extra day rest or not. He deserved a first round exit after his pathetic hissy fit and eventual withdrawal when Seppi was 15-0 up and serving for the title.

Just felt with the extra days rest that he might be able to take the time to clear his head.

I agree what he did was pretty disgusting and a shame for Seppi given it was to be his first ATP title, but Tipsarevic has a good grass court game and I felt if he was right mentally that he was overpriced.

Would seem that wasn't to be the case but you live and learn.

Date v Venus is a cracking game (especially compared to some of the dross that passes as Women's tennis).

I'll be very impressed if Watson wins this with that elbow injury on her serving arm.

Laura Robson managed to no throw the win away in a match where she was by miles the better player in terms of skill, but also streets ahead in terms of the number of unforced errors she wanted to make.

Sharapova in the next round, and Robson will have to be a lot better in that.

Be fair to the young lady, she's 17, spent the majority of this season injured; has been struggling as a result of her growth spurts, just recently sacked her coach, yet despite all this has managed to beat a woman ranked 177 places ahead of her despite being a set down.

She deserves a great deal of credit!
