  1. So what's everyone fancying in the Queen Elizabeth II tomorrow?

    It's obviously a three horse race, so I've went for the value bet in Raven's Pass (7/2 generally available). There is rain forecast for tomorrow, which does not help Henrythenavigator, as he has been beaten on all three soft ground starts.

    So is this race as cut and dry as the bookies suggest?

  2. I only managed to catch part of the second set, but del Potro's backhand looked f*cking brutal. From what I seen, it looks as though Murray deserved his place in the semis.

    Terrific. I was hoping for around the 2.2 mark on Betfair, but this is even better. I will be lumping on Del Potro. Probably my biggest bet of the year.

    I hope you didn't wade in too deep mate.

    COME ON TIM!

  3. Terrific. I was hoping for around the 2.2 mark on Betfair, but this is even better. I will be lumping on Del Potro. Probably my biggest bet of the year.

    You don't mean... a whole brown back?! ;)

    Nah, I see where you're coming from. Personally I couldn't call which way the match will go, but 7/4 for del Potro certainly represents value.

  4. Looks a good one on paper. I just hope Andy's prepared to defend the way he's done against the likes of Djokovic and Nadal in the past. If Potro's on form then he'll need to be patient.

    Yeah, I seem to remember a quote from Djokovic when Murray won in Cincinnati, basically saying how much slower the game felt in comparison to his earlier rounds. Do you think Murray is technically superior to del Potro?

    Interesting to note that Murray is best priced at 8/15 (Joe Corals), with del Potro 7/4. Make what you will of that.

  5. Should be a cracker. I imagine it will be the night match?

    You'd certainly like to think so, which is a bit sh*t for you guys back home, being on at such an odd hour. The organisers obviously thought his match against Wawrinka was going to be tight, given the time slot. Let's hope they're wrong again.

    Have you seen much of this del Potro guy?

  6. Just watched Murray triple bagel Wawrinka 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 in the 4th round, in quite possibly the best performance I've seen from him. Some absolutely amazing backhands, making it look far too easy in about 2 hours.

    He now faces del Potro in the quarters, who is on some run of form, although it has taken him four or more sets in three of his four games so far. If Murray gets through, he will in all likelihood face Nadal in the semis.

    Murray has been quite lucky with regards to the draw, avoiding Federer (seeded 2nd), Djokovic (3), Davydenko (5) and Roddick (8) until the final, if he makes it that far of course.

    Anyone know when he is scheduled to play del Potro?
