Wimbledon, Day 4, 2 July, Order of Play

[DarthFed]

Did you have any bets on Brown, Darth? Didn't bother with any this year and probably should have. Guy made me a mint last time.

Nope, I'm staying off my sports betting casino (Bovada) after one of their checks bounced for awhile. It's going to be tough not to put some money in during NFL season but I'm not going to get screwed over by a shady online casino :nono

Doh :-/ I didn't even check the odds for this match but had to be tasty enough for a Brown win, which let's face it was on the cards very much. Ah well. There's always next year

 

[Kieran]

Not like you, brother, you made €27k off Brown last year, from memory. Prolly wouldn't have gotten 27 quid this year....

 

[Kieran]

Andy Murray looked good today, as he has since he got married. The tests are still to come, though. With Andy, it's been a problem imposing himself with confidence on the serial winners. He handed it over against Nole in both Oz and Paris, going away silently both times. The game is there, but he can't be just content with having the reputation and the sticky-placing in a Big 3+1 - he has to get on fire where it counts.

Still not convinced by him, but it's made for him, this Wimbledon...

€18,500. Nah, the bookies would still have Nadal as pretty heavy favourite. If I did make a bet today it would've placed a bet for €500-€1000. Pretty sure you'd still have made a mint.

Oh, I thought you said 27K at the time. Still a nice catch... :clap

Good morning to everyone on the wrong side of the planet! Eye still blurry from slumber but let's see what happened while I was recharging...

Murray wins easy! :clap

Simon trying to fatten up a bit on breadsticks!

Deliciano knocked out by a guy whose name is impossible to type this early in the morning. :huh:

Popsicle knocks the socks off Feeble Fabio Foggy. :clap

Seppi catches Coric thinking about the third round. :cover

Federer is looking good.

Tsonga is over that injury me thinks. :clap

Did Berdych wear clothes today? He's looking good too. His tennis is I mean. :blush:

Monfils too? The French could cause havoc in the next couple of rounds.

Another hyphenated guy beats everyones favorite player. :dodgy:

Dr. Evil wins without a tie break. I'm impressed. How many aces? :eyepop

Dreadlocks sends Nadal home in four? :wave

 

[the AntiPusher]

A colored man, with short sleeved shirt, piercings, long hair, sponsorsed t-shirt, won.

Anti-Wimbledon man could be said.

"Colored man" Well we all pretty much can tell what your background is or better what you are. However , good for you, you have enlightened us all.

The ESPN commentators mentioned in passing that Craig O'Shannessy was spotted in Dustin's box. In case, you are not aware this is the guy who writes the interesting "Brain Games" column for the ATP website explaining the strategy behind the matches. Apparently he is working in some capacity
(consultant or advisor) for Dustin Brown it seems. If so, he did a good job in coming up with the strategy of not letting any point go more than 4/5 shots.

Very much enjoy his insights from "Brain Games". If he helped DB come up with that strategy? Brilliant.

Some Spaniards players still are alive [/u]
Verdasco will play against Wawrinka, if Verdasco wouldn't be so bobblehead he would beat Wawrinka
Bautista has beaten Rosol (of course) and he will play against :huh: I have not any idea who is he
And Pablo Andujar against Berdych, hope Pablo can do well, I wouldn't be surprised for any result anymore

 

[Kieran]

Brown mentioned after the match that this victory was born in Halle, 2014. I believe him. Frustrating part about blokes like him, he has a game that's a perfect fit for grass, but he's more or less never showed it, until today. Most likely, he'll misfire against Troicki. It's frustrating if you're a Rafa fan - or his coach...

Wait, maybe you will be surprise

 

[Kieran]

Hopefully not, I prefer Stan to Verdy...

I think I know what you mean but if Verdasco would play better with his head he would be better than Wawrinka, but....:nono

If I see "Nalbandian" again, I just might go postal and hurt a linesman or something. What's with the Nalbandian Revival?
