 I feel like StPeters is a tick overrated from playing StJohns tight when their best player Champagnie was out. 

I mean they’re playing a clay event in 60 degree windy temps. That’s going to increase variance. The ball is already heavy on a clay court. In this cold ass weather the ball weighs a ton. Azarenka looked like she was swinging at watermelons against Schmiedlova. Just absolutely couldn’t hit through the court at all. What was she -1500?

KNEW I should’ve faded this guy at -1500 on sheer principle. Pissed. Even if he comes back and wins should’ve been a customary fade of a hugely overpriced unproven favorite. 

Wires are rock solid. If you have a lot of money to move and have taken 3 checks in the past use a wire. Or else you’ll be waiting for bitcoin. Long backlog. 

I took a wire last wk for almost 5 figures. And another check for 3k. No issues. They stopped processing checks as of today so your only options are e-check, bank wire or bitcoin. I put in for an e-check (which they just started offering as a withdrawal option). First it said it failed because of their processor so they resubmitted it. Then today it said it failed because my bank declined it. My bank took the wire but not the ACH payout? Maybe because the ACH transfer was from a foreign bank? I don’t know what the problem is there. Or if it was my issue or theirs. I have another wire now in processing. And need to take 1 last one next Thursday. Praying these go through. I mean they should bc the last one did. Wires are only available to you if you’ve had 3 courier check payouts so it sounds like most of you need to learn bitcoin if you don’t know how - and the wait times on there are apparently awful.  

Moneygram?? Bro, ask for a check.

Kobe lived 10 mins from my house as a kid and played for a rival high school. I played against him in 8th grade at Bala Cynwyd and 9th grade at Lower Merion. I didnt have any money on this game but was just hoping to see the Lakers honor him with a win tonight. Thing is you never know how such a tragedy is going to be reacted to. The players are human.  I still cant believe he is gone. Doesnt seem real. It's hit people really hard in this area. Maybe even more than LA. This is where he was from. He was a local icon.

Theory: this is the first time Osaka's dad has ever watched a match in her box. If you know how weird she is mentally, I wont be shocked if she just cracked mentally knowing he was watching in the stands. She has said he never watches her matches. Think it needs to go back to that.

Congrats to Coco....for doing absolutely nothing and winning a match. 

Space cadet Osaka playing as dumb as she is in real life. This is atrocious. Horrid errors. Imagine betting this sport.

Seppi 5-5 vs Stan.

Nadal 1-19 vs Del Bonis.

Thiem takes another blowout set 6-1, now he can go lose another 7-6 in the 5th to lose the match.

This would be the 4th time in the last 5 majors he didnt get past Round 2. And this dude is #5 in the world. This is about the most frustrating match Ive ever seen for a player.  Rolling up 6-2, 5-3, loses 4 straight games to lose 2nd set. 3rd set he goes 0-7 on break points and loses the breaker. Now 1 set from the door. Up a break in the 4th set now but Bolt is just gonna keep ripping forehands and go for broke.  Bolt is an interesting player. As he had good results on the Australian tour, including last year at this Open before dissolving back to losing to stiffs in challengers. Clearly a talented bloke who doesnt give his best effort in the smaller venues against scrub players. 

As I say this they just suspended the RBA match and are talking about moving it over to Melbourne Arena with the roof. I'm sure RBA is not going to be unhappy about that news.

They are playing in 35 mph winds right now on the outside courts. This RBA-Mmoh match is basically unwatchable and really complicating things for RBA. I think hes hoping it rains so they get pulled off and have to come back tmrw. Mmoh is just cracking everything and trying to hit through the wind. RBA plays precision counterpunch tennis which is almost impossible to do when the ball is moving everywhere.

At least the big courts have roofs that can be entirely and partially closed, which they all are right now.

Anyone else sick and tired of having ever Coco match shoved down their throats by the american market because she's another black american? I get the marketing angle but can we please wait until shes actually good to feel the need to shove every damn match. I wanna see Djokovic, not this crap.

K Viddy pulled it out. -700 Sabalenka....did not.

Tampons.

Badosa had 4-2 and 15-40 for a 5-2 lead. Blew that, loses next 5 games. 

Tampons.

In Kvitova's defense the insane winds today do her style no favors. She plays flat and to the lines. Bad conditions are awful for her. She's almost unbeatable indoors for this reason.
