Wimbledon Day 3

Fluxland,

He brings the criticism on himself  when he includes false information in his writeups, it's not my opinion that some of this is false, it's a fact!  We have all gone thru losing stretches so thats no big deal but when the guy bases some of his picks on false reasoning and then brags about how much money he has made recently without any way to prove it's true then he should expect to get a hefty dose of criticism when he gets crushed...and nobody gives a rats as$ that he thinks we should take a hike if we dont contribute the way he thinks we should.

Many of us have contributed by exposing the incaccuracies in his writeups so that some who might consider tailing him might reconsider.

jtmoney76,

Hey just wondering if you could help me out for some information in the future.  I see that on www.tennis.com and click on live scores when you click on a player it gives the head to head matchup record. My question is how do you know what a players record is on grass do you know any information at all about this? I saw on the TV today that Federer is 76-1. Any information about this would be a big help.  Thanks and keep up the good work.

if you had been FADING this "well respected covers expert"..lolol..you would be making a killing!!!!

they are posted on the covers homepage, and just as brutal as all his other picks....

I found gt's picks today. He went 0-3 with 3 faves. His record is now 6-13 taking all faves. He must be getting absolutely crushed.

"We now sit at 6-10 after a forgettable 0-4 Day 3. The only bright side is that we can only improve on yesterday’s mark.

On to Day 4:
 
Jesse Levine -208 over Cueves

After taking advantage of an unmotivated Safin in the first round  (winning in four sets), Jesse Levine has to be thrilled at his chances of taking on Pablo Cueves in the second round. Cueves had a gruelling five-set match against Rochus, winning the deciding set 11-9.

This appears to be a clear mismatch. Levine is a big server and moved well yesterday vs. Safin. Cueves, on the other hand, relies his sift feet to win points on the return. He doesn’t a great serve, but was effective at times against Rochus in the final sets.

I expect Levine to see his way through in no more then four sets.
 
Zverev -151 over Petzschner

Petzschner came through vs. Ram, who is mostly a challenger level player these days in singles. He will now face a step up in competition playing against Zverev.

Zverev has a nice all-around game. He owns a commanding serve and has great lateral movement. He came through the first round by beating Tursunov, who retired in the third set after being down the whole match.

Looking across the net, Petzschner has a decent serve but he isn't the most mobile of individuals. Zverev will get some points anytime he gets Petschzner into long rallies and makes him cover the whole court.

I like Zverev to come through in easy fashion.
 
Becker -139 over Melzer 

Becker is in the best form of his life. He has played great the last few weeks since grass play began. Melzer has had a nice run going 7-3 in last 10, but Becker is 9-1 and with a world of confidence.

I could write pages and pages about why I like Becker. He’s done more than just about anyone else on grass in the last three weeks. Melzer is a good player capable of upsetting him on most days, but not on the greener surface.

Becker is my play of the day and I’ll be putting a maximum bet on him."
