French Open - Third Set

Grover says he's so ashamed by having tennis picks on the blog that I have to keep making them until the record is in the red. He says having a winning record in tennis makes him feel like a girl. I assumed the "body wash" he uses in the shower instead of soap made him feel like a girl. Go figure.

OK, on to the picks for Friday. These lines come out so late that I'm too tired to do long-winded write-ups. I did the same homework, I just don't have the energy at this hour for the explanations. I'm a little worried about posting 2 favorites, but I promise there will be dogs for Saturday's matches. The picks:

F. Verdasco -120 (WSEX) over M. Youzhny, 0.60 units to win 0.50 units

Since Youzhny is the #15 seed and Verdasco is #22, I was really hoping for underdog money on this one, but the books are too smart for that. Verdasco better on this surface.

P. Mathieu -145 (Pinnacle) over E. Schwank, 0.73 units to win 0.50 units

As much as I would like to put my money on the guy whose name sounds like a porno mag, I can't support Schwank here. He's outclassed, and he's going home.
