It was nice to see Del Potro play well again. Dude has big time talent if he can stay healthy. He's really about the only one in the Top 10 that can actually legitimately challenge the Big 3 when healthy. I think Murray has proven he can't and neither can Ferrer or Tsonga.
I completely agree. Delpo is the 4th best player in the world, imho. He has that extra gear -- that nobody else has -- to play with the big 3 and actually beat them. And I actually think he is a better hard court player than Nadal, and on par with both Fed and Djoke. I think he is the only guy that has beaten Fed on an indoor hard court in like six years.* He's definitely a guy that you don't want to see out of the game with injuries. He brings things to the table. *Fed is ABSURD on indoor hard courts. Bummer for him that they only play one tournament of significance on indoor hards.
Vegas odds on semifinal matches: Novak Djokovic-180 Roger Federer+150 David Ferrer+800 Rafael Nadal-1200
Yeah on 5dimes I know you can bet on total sets, sets won for each guy, etc. Not sure about other sites.
Good choice. I just caught it on CourtCast, but it appeared Fed just laid down and died. Djoker will actually have to win the match from Nadal instead of just sitting back and watching him give the match away as Fed did today. Pathetic performance. In the final, I think Nadal wins it in 4. I think Joker takes the first, and Nadal hammers the next 3.
I have a guy, but there are tons of prop bets. Games, sets, etc. The ovr/und on Ferrer #games was 12.5. He got 5.
Nadal wanted it called an hour earlier. He stopped even making an effort second game in the 4th set. He'll finish it, though.
