French Open - Fourth Set Tiebreaker


Sunday may have been the first losing day I've had in this tournament. I can't believe it took this long for that to happen. Hopefully, I won't make 2 days in a row. For Monday, lines from Pinnacle:

I. Ljubicic -130 over G. Monfils, 0.65 units to win 0.50 units

Very impressive win over Davydenko for Ljubicic. I would not have picked that one. Ljubicic is serving very well and is the better overall player. Monfils will have home court advantage over the Croat, but in the end, the better player should prevail.

R. Ginepri +320 over F. Gonzalez, 0.25 units to win 0.80 units

Gonzalez has the better track record on clay, but Ginepri is playing too well in this tournament to resist that line. Ginepri has been working with the same guy who coached Michael Chang and Jim Courier to French Open wins and the improvement is obvious. Incidentally, it's the same coach that Roger Federer has been working with to improve his game on clay leading up to this tournament. Good value here for a player who has looked very sharp so far.
