hi, had a close shave with lopez to beat davy.

does anybody think that roddick can beat novak this afternoon, roddick likes the quick courts and having a big serve, roddick can cause some problems for novak,

I don't know if Roddick will win or not but I'd say he is great value. what you know you'll get from A-Rod is soldid serving and at the most he'll probably be broken 1 game all match with maybe a tie break loss.

at 3.3 he will surely trade sub 3's, I feel there is a lot of value even if Djoko is playing well.

i had a close shave with lopez also, traded out after the first set but couldn't resist a bit more in the final set on Lopez which wasn't looking good in the last couple of games, he looked frustrated and very much out of it, i topped up my bet a couple of quid at 15/1 with very little sensible reasoning other than that a break back would be lovely! all of a sudden a few mistakes from Davy and Lopez is back in there confident and taking it down.

[topbrewer]

yes, lopez looked like he had lost it mentally, but davy threw it away again. roddick can win this, any of the top 15 are well capable of beating each other. This could go either way.

Thanks

not sure about roddick beating djokovic, both have looked vulnerable at times and I agree with FF...should come down to at least one TB.

So the value has to be with roddick here, even though i'm not at all confident, but it's close to a 50/50 shot.

interesting stat, that a-rod has not been broken this tournament yet, you always get effort in a-rod and thats what appeals to me, he never gives in. 100% all times

2/1 is a good price

rejoice a rod backers once again! Some of the shots he played especially the passing curving one woohoo. Amazin Rafa n Novak n straight sets, guess someones come back with a bang.

[fairfranco]

back 2 set win for Roddick against Lopez. No way will Lopez get anything off of Rod in the final.

Lopez and Davy were struggling enuogh against each other let alone taking on A Rod whoose serve never lets him down and he's in fine form all round.

[thetitan]

good performance from A-Rod again, hopefully he can keep it up.

Price for him to win the final is about 1.3 which I feel is more than fair, from what I saw, Lopez was struggling and certainly started slowly against Davydenko.

2-0 today was about 6/1...anything close to 1.8 for the same result in the final will be a steal.

Im currently tearing my hair out. I considered taking A-Rod at 20/1 Each Way, but decided against it because A) He'd lose to Federer in the final and B) Djokovic was in his half of the draw.

Brilliant.

I dont think my recent run can get much worse to be honest

[topbrewer]

wow, had roddick today in a small footy acca, but lopez is playing brilliant, to say that lopez is not a hard courter, he is more than matching roddick, and it looks in andys ,manner that he is beat unless he can grab a break.

has anderson the game to beat genepri??

[skybluesam]

I believe he does ogogo yes. He's picked up some fine wins this week and I'm not convinced Ginepri is anywhere near the level of a couple of years ago. Anderson is good value tonight.
