Look, at this given price you'd be foolish not to have a crack at Verdasco. Yes, this is Ivo's favourite (and only) surface, Yes his serve is a WMD type of a weapon, Yes his opponents, including the great Andre Agassi, have struggled big time to return that kind of a serve which comes at a bizarre angle. But as I stated from the start, I feel it's crazy to ignore Verdasco here. As I wrote yesterday too, I am loving his game more and more. He made a ridiculously light work of Cilic, whose game is very similar to that of big Ivo.
I don't think Karlovic will be able to win this. Yes, he might win that first set in a tight tie break, but he'll have to keep up that big serve of his. And look, if he does serve huge and beats Verdasco and us all who are putting $$$ on the Spaniard, well good on Ivo, I say. That's why it's called a gamble!
But I feel very confident on the Spaniard tonight to cause an "upset" (although I wouldn't consider it an upset) Alright, Let's get this last play before Wimbledon kicks into gear next week boys
Verdasco to the bank for 4 Units
Best of luck everyone
