Friday LIVE thread (cash prize inside)

I'm starting what should become a 20 page long live thread.

I will pay $15 to anyone who
- makes a great pick (both favorites and underdogs may apply),
- posts a great 'inside type' info (such as the malisse mother's disease) - obviously, before the lines are OTB for the relevant match, or
- just makes the best joke or posts a great - tennis-related - picture that makes me smile.

Yes, I will be the one to decide who wins and when. Yes, I am THIS vain. And yes, I actually think this might work, since - not many realize this - there are 50 times more lurkers than posters on this forum (hello Mack and TennisCapper :)

P.S. Anyone who posted/lurked the WNBA forum last season might remember MuggsyBogues' Exact Score Contest. I ended up paying out over $350 to the prize winners - Bucheron666, rhino5542 and boyboy. I'm good for the money. $15 is definitely worth being an author of the greatest f*cking tennis thread of the week.

Payment to be made via moneybookers or pokerstars/fulltiltpoker transfer no later than WCOOP event #1 on Pokerstars kicks off on Monday.

This must be the dumbest thing ever.

It could only happen to the player I totally unloaded on (future to win US Open before the tournament started)

To quote one of the greatest movies of all time,

Soap:

I'd take a pain in the arse for half a million quid.


Tom:

You'd take a pain in the arse for air miles.

You can score a point towards winning the contest by quickly replying what movie this is.

This was the rally of the match so far. Between the legs, Federer style!

Pop quiz: What match am I talking about?
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 12:08PM
Oh WOW
definitely the rally of the day so far

between the legs winner federer style!

pop quiz: who did it?
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 12:12PM
Harrison did it!

oh someone did that today??? im on work all day long
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 12:18PM

Yep, the kid I'm against did it. I still clapped (yes, I'm sitting in front of the computer in my undies, all by myself, and my money is against him!).

Unbelievable shot. It should easily make the highlight reel of the day.

Stosur looks invincible.

 

AND her shades are cool

MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 12:23PM

Errani just served a double fault. Upon hawkeye review the ball was shown to have missed the line by at least 7-8 inches.

WINDY!!!!!

MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 12:28PM

This was THE failed reverse jinx post of the day so far.

Errani gets to deuce from 0-40 serving at *3-4 (I posted #13 at 0-30). Ms Cool Shades drops four straight points - advantage Errani who I have a wager on - to then win four of the next six points and break the serve.

Serving for the match now.

She's an awesome player. Errani is out of her league.

Stakhovsky is getting on my nerve. Good thing is I ended up having a huge chunk on him due to inplay bets, average odds of +102. I hope he can go back to playing cat and mouse and let Ryan implode.

Does anyone know how many 5 set matches Ryan played in his short career, if any?
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 01:13PM

only a minute later 'good thing' is no longer so good

 

0-40 on sergiy's serve

Soap: You're not funny Tom you're fat but look as though you should be but you're not.

Tom (fatboy): Fat? Who are you calling fat you...*lights flicker Jeeeeesss good in here idn't it? Handy for the tube great electrics I can see why ya moved in.

Bacon: Don't knock it, it's CHEEEAP like the budgie...and nobody wants to live next to the people we live next to....

Favorite movie maybe ever, Lock Stock&Two Smoking Barrels is one of the greatest movies ever made. Guy Ritchie is a genius.

Armed? Did you say they will be armed? Armed with what?

What are they armed with?  Bad breath, feather dusters... Guns, you tit!

Big hold by homeboy Stakh. Let's hope +250 is as high as his odds are going to ever get in this match.

How the f*ck are games suspended for rain and the Yankees are still playing?
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 02:15PM
Was there actually a rain delay in any of the matches? I'm following on bet365 and it seems like there was a really short one?

GGL for the upset, Almagro has been complaining about an intestinal virus.
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 05:01PM

I'd never believe that dirty mexican.

MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 05:14PM

I was actually going to bet almagro so if he loses you're runaway candidate for the money :)

 

p.s if he wins you'll owe me 150

daLOCKSMITH says:
09/03/10 05:52PM
isnt GGL coming off an injury?
daLOCKSMITH says:
09/03/10 09:14PM
i saw that too...not sure what the ruling would be
daLOCKSMITH says:
09/03/10 09:19PM
ggl has 2 break chances now
daLOCKSMITH says:
09/03/10 08:52PM
damn almagro choked it up in the end of the 2nd set

Praying to the tennis angels for a tie-break
Rook12 says:
09/03/10 10:30PM
Can't serve = game over
Rook12 says:
09/03/10 09:01PM
GGL's best chance to win and he blows it like a cheap hooker on a blind date
Rook12 says:
09/03/10 09:23PM
3 straight sets is going to be tough - hopefully almagro has to poop
Rook12 says:
09/03/10 06:02PM

I am going with GGL - Almagro's illness and the H2H in 2008:

2008 Bucharest
Romania		 Clay R16 Garcia-Lopez, Guillermo
6-4, 7-5 Stats
2008 Wimbledon
Great Britain		 Grass R64 Garcia-Lopez, Guillermo
6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 Stats

2008 Bucharest

Romania Clay R16 Garcia-Lopez, Guillermo

6-4, 7-5

2008 Wimbledon

Great Britain Grass R64 Garcia-Lopez, Guillermo

great quality tennis in the second set of schiavone vs bondarenko

first set was great too by only by one player (6-1 to Italy)

last five minutes was some of the best WTA tennis I've ever seen

that dirty south american makes me sick (whenever I don't have a wager on him - that only makes him somewhat bearable)

such a dork

MuggsyBogues says:

Can anyone smell Rafael going the distance?
MuggsyBogues says:
09/03/10 09:13PM

Oh wow you guys watching simon match? A great rally in the first point of his service game at *4-3.. he ended up out of position getting lobbed... and half-jokingly tossed his racket up ... but it was pretty damn close to actually colliding with the ball (that he had no shot in hell of reaching in a conventional way - holding the racket in his hand lol)

I wonder if the racket got there... would he win the point???

current state of the US Open (mens):

there are 4 americans left...Roddick is out...Blake is in

when nadal gets done beating istomin there will be NINE Spaniards left...that's over 1/4 of the remaining players...i would expect something like that at the french...but at the US Open!? 
seems like all the clay guys are rolling

The other country dominating is France, with 6 still standing
