Raonic @ 9/4 v Hewitt (10 units) 1-2 in sets, *0-1  deuce

Surprised you went with this, Raonic is a ue machines today, looked like his arse collapsed in the 3rd set tb and his fitness looks suspect.

Yea, just felt if he screwed his head back on he could get into the match and allow me to trade back out for profit. Looks to have completely gone now which is a shame. Could still happen, we'll see. If I can try to get out I will.

If he takes that easy Volley at the net at *5-6 in the tb he goes on to win the matcch 3-1 but you could visibly see his Legs collapse(along with his arse) as he approached it.

Hewitt has looked shaky serving for sets, most notably v Stebe so there's still a small chance. Yeah right.

Raonics body language after the 3rd was shocking, looked like he was going to cry.

As I lost one my biggest sports bets ever when Hewitt qualified for the 3rd round, I feel weird going in again heavily against him, but it honestly feels like having kings, running into aces, then picking up kings again and sticking it all in not worrying against aces.

I could be wrong of course, in which case I'm not gonna be happy I wrote this, but surely surely surely 3-0, covered by 3-1, Raonic vs Hewitt, is a lock tonight?

Monumentally wrong I guess. Think this proves I'm not knowledgable enough in Tennis to put the bigger bets on, will stick to trading in future.

Well played Hewitt, FO Raonic

Sigh. Thought Hewitt would get shaky and he did. Raonic couldn't convert however.

Challenger in Germany this week. Standard is unbelievably high. Cut-off was 146 in the world which never normally happens. These matches are in the qualifiers.

Niland @ 8/13 v Herbert (5 units)
Under 22.5 games @ 5/6 (5 units)
Pospisil x Marti x Niland @ 2.3/1 (5 units)

[MereNovice]

Can't see much to get excited about in tonight's card.
Li/Clijsters and Woazniacki/Jankovic might be decent scraps.

Had a nice result on Northampton/Munster this afternoon so I'm looking to "invest" - any thoughts on tonight's matches?

Have you watched Benesova so far? Is she worth 4/5 @ +7.5 or 11/10 @ +6.5 games? Azarenka has looked awesome but Benesova has had some nice results.

Fancy Jankovic to maybe cause an upset. Will be on the overs as I expect it to go 3 sets.

In the three matches they've had, Azarenka has won by 7 games twice and 9 games.

Difficult to see where the value lies, but given the form Azarenka's showing I'll be backing her at - 7.5 personally.

Gasquet + 4.5 @ 9/10 (3 units)

Williams - 6.5 games @ 5/6 (3 units)

Fancy Gasquet big time for tonight. Think it's likely to be a close match, but wouldn't be overly surprised to see him win in 3. He's far too big at 15/8. Ferrer's the consummate professional but he's really not that great on hard court surfaces. Think Gasquet is playing well enough to cause the upset.

Can't see anything that is likely to tempt me tonight, so likely to stay away from the other matches.

[MereNovice]

Zheng was very impressive against Bartoli but 9/4 does seem generous for Errani.
