I might stay up and watch this one. I've been a fan of Pospisil's game, moreso than Raonic. Querry can be really hit or miss, if this were to go 5 I'm not sure if Sam would have the stamina.
Good luck with the wager

Just because he's mentally stronger than Querrey doesnt mean he's overall a strong willed player. I saw in another thread you said Querrey is statue like with his emotions. Ya your right, hes consistently a mental midget that almost always fades when a match gets tough.
He's ranked 55 because his movement isnt great, he's never been in top physical shape (dealt with a few injuries, gassed out in many matchs) and he does battle himself in some matchs.
He's also only 24. You make it sound like he's some 27-28 journeyman whos showed time after time that hes just potential and can never put it together.
Good luck but theres a reason Vegas has him as the favorite going in although being the much less proven player and lower ranked.

Line opened up essentially even, money came in on Pospisil
Yeah exactly he's already 24 and has done what exactly in his career?
Losing to guys like Becker, Bolelli, Sela, Monaco, Haase, show me enough about his mental fortitude. With his skillsets there's no reason to be getting straight setted by those guys. Then you tell me his struggles have come from fitness yet want to back him as a favorite in 3/5 set match?
Querrey didn't have very good year last year but the players he lost to were top teir. His lone 2 bad losses were against Sela and Bogomolov

Why would the line even open up even? Querrey is the much more proven player and significantly higher ranked. It could have been soo friggin easy for Vegas to start Querrey as the favorite but they most likely see Pospisils form, Querreys underwhelming form and the fact they most likely believe Pospisil will start to acsend from this point in his career.
All players develop at different stages. Pospisil from all accounts wasnt willing to put in the hard yards before but after his GS doubles win and his 2 fellow canadians surging, hes refocused and rededicated. I never once claimed hes some mental fortitude beast, just that hes stronger than Sam Querrey whos known as one of the biggest flakes and a mental midget on tour.
Querrey didnt have a good year last year and he hasnt won a ATP match since october. His game outside of his serve looked terrible against both Tomic and Chardy.
GL this should be a close match but think Pospisil takes it.

Both Pospisil and Querrey can become mental midgets but if anyone, I think it doesnt take much to set Querrey off into an unforced errors machine.
Physically, both have equally strong serves but Pospisil groundstrokes are slightly better. Querrey's backhand is downright dreadful, one of the worst on tour but he makes up for it with a solid forehand. The only worry I have about Pospisil is his fitness. He serves and volley a lot and not used to long grinding rallies. If Querrey pushes this to four or five sets, it could become interesting.

Like I said, Pospisil is more mentally tough.Querrey was in total control of that match and Pospisil looked gassed and basically dead to rights.Querrey choked like expected.
Agree. I like querrey in the lower level tournaments. But Pospisil is stronger in slams.
