they are supposed to be real good friends on the tour.

did you see that cold shoulder she gave her. if looks could kill!!!

betcha they don't say **** to each other for a few days lol

Call me crazy but Tsonga has a shot tonight against Nadal.
+280 is worth a $40 wager.

Just hope Tsonga's serve is on point.

not crazy at all.

this fricken kid is moving like his ass is on fire compared to last year.

h'es been playing great and riding a high.

the only concern is that he's fit but is he fit enuff to stay with nadal. nadal will make him run back and forth till his head is swiming and don't know up from down.

i think its worth a 40 shot. no doubt

[brockguy]

Tsonga knocked out the 3 guys I backed - Murray, Gasquet and Youzhny.. cant believe how well he's playing...

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Wow,Tsonga blew Nadal away ......Reminds me of Safin(at his very best,) but even better....Trust me,Nadal had no shot against what this guy had.

That is exactly who popped into my head while watching Tsonga play Youzhny the other morning. I thought he had a great shot to win this match...in four, probably five sets. I never thought he could dust Nadal, though - incredible, inconceivable, out-of-body performance. I think he was even a little surprised after match point by how he dominated. I can't wait to see him in the final. But before that, we still have Federer-Djokovic to look forward to.

Pillow,

You are the man...nice call.

tsonga was unreal.

he imposed on nadal his own game-i think nadal got a hell of a work out

those volley dropshots where unreal, even nadal couldn't believe it

last game-final set all nadal could do was smile himself

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Have no idea what he will do when people are expecting to see that again(in the finals.) Also,Nadal is more of a shotmaker/speed player.He lacks power.The other 2 (in the semis) don't lack power.I wouldn't bet against this guy though.They were saying a year ago,he couldn't keep shots in the court long enough to rally.Are you kid'n me? I'm not sure I have ever seen anybody hit the ball(so many times) exactly where they wanted to hit it.Nadal was not playing poorly at all.This guy was playing too well.Hitting it hard,and had huge accuracy on difficult angles.He and Safin have that same look on their faces(when they are doing well.) They know they are playing well,but they don't seem to be really thinking much.It's very natural.Like "I wonder if I am gunna bang 4 chicks tonite.Last nite I did 3,and I could have done 1 more." Nadal and Federer etc.,are both thinking,ploding,thinking(actually,Federer has an extra gear he goes to.)If Federer goes to that gear,and still loses an important game,then that's it.He pouts...It's over.He quits.It doesn't happen very much,but he does quit.He doesn't quit physically,but mentally he doesn't believe he will come back.Nadal was 1 point away from getting him into the pout stage at Wimbledon.He had 2 or 3 break points,but could not get enough power on any of the returns of serve.That is a difference between Tiger,and Federer.I've never seen Tiger give in.It's so rare that guys can beat Federer when he pushes the pedal all the way down though.Safin in the 2005 Australian semi-finals,and obviously the French Open(that's different though,because he is giving 100% at all times at the French,and just isn't good enough on the surface.........he has no final gear there.)

I don't think he'll get pushed.

-265 is tempting...but never worth it.

Incorrect.Can't wait to see him get his butt kicked at the French.Be saaaweet like da candy cane.

Wow. Here I thought there wasn't a player left (outside of Nadal at the French) who believed they could beat Federer.

Should be a great final.

Nice call scuds...

That's not a call,and you know it.Just shows everybody what a manipulative bitch you are,and always will be.As far as I'M concerned ,you didn't make a call.You didn't say to go out and take odds on Federer at a low #.It was just you supporting Federer chalk.I said if he gets down in the match,and calls on his "A" game,then if that doesn't work quickly,then he mentally quits.He did that.He pouted.Just as he always does in his losses.Now,if you want a call,then go to yesterday's Anita selections to find me pick "ONEFUNSONOFAGUN." that was a "CALL." She got deadheated.I had the win bet,and exacta,and didn't make much.That's why I say to play the multi-race bets.That's what I should have done.Sometimes you get caught by somebody putting all their inside win money in a p3,p4 pool.You get a bad break on the payoff,but it pays too good on a regular basis to worry about that.The good far outweighs the bad(if you bet it consistently.)Remember I had the p3 at Churchill that paid $5800 for what would have been a $1800 win parlay payoff.Ask Hooves, If ya forget,cuz I (unfortunately) had to beat his to get mine.His was paying over 10k.

Ana Ivanovic is +385 for the match.

Worth A $25 WAGER

Bottom line is Federer blew it.
He had the first set in his hands
and blew easy volleys. He just played
awful. And when you play a Serbian
with big hair you had better be playing
well and he was not.

Federer is still the best.
