around 15/1, I am a firm Stan believer but I didn't have enough money in the account to be adventurous.

The draw was a thing of beauty, you got all the grinders in one half and power players on the other. All value was on Stan/Monf/Jo


I was thinking about it too, a whole whole lot and decided to feel it out.

1. Specifically woke up at 9 to see who was serving first :heh: If it was Djokovic I'd do Under 9.5, if it was Stan I'd do Over 9.5 - Saw Stan was serving first, I figured he had a whole hour of top play and decided to do the Over 9.5 (cause he'd have to get broken twice to have it go under, and I had the confidence Joker wouldn't be broken. Went exactly how I thought.

2. 2nd set I also read it perfectly, about +170 midway through the set when everyone was realizing that indeed Stan was for real.

3. Missed the 3rd set opportunity, I wanted to wait a bit until 3-3/4-3 to go with Stan, then he played the spectacular love break and I was mildly pissed I missed the chance. Had a chance at 0-15 but at 0-30 odds swung too much to do it.

4. 4th set I went for Djokovic right off, then was vindicated as he raced to 3-0. Then I got greedy and did Under 8.5 4th set thinking Stan was fading or if he wasn't fading, he'd at least tank the set. But Djokovic didn't cooperate, and I got double screwed. So lucky that Djokovic held at 15-40 the first time cause the set odds when back to before-set odds and I threw some on Wawrinka to at least not lose that much.

Ended up 3-2, that greed in the 4th set cause I waited a split second too long on the 3rd :mjcry: - reminded me of everything going right in the Kei/Joker match at USO, I hit like a +600 live bet twice during that match.

As of NOW....not knowing anything....who winning Wimbledon?

@Liu Kang @yoyoyo1 @Ari Gold Bawse @bdkane @Yapdatfool

Gun to my head not knowing how the draw will play out, as of TODAY...give me

MURRAY.

Murray , Fed, then Novak.

Rafa has NO chance this year at Wimbledon

Tsonga could make an upset (a semi maybe a final) : good serve, volley and forehand and he's powerful. I'd say keep an eye on him because this French did him good and he certainly refilled his confidence even though his (relatively) weak backhand may (will) be his doom. Wawrinka's power really impressed me too but I don't how if he's really good volley-wise though he has the same weapons as Tsonga with a batter backhand. Murray I don't know. Unlike Nadal & Nishi, I'm not counting Fed out : one of the last to really have a serve & volley game and he might be outgunned when it comes to rallies but imo, it's still toppa top when it comes to s&v. And Djokovic might rebound but it will depend on how slow this Wimby is. I thought they sped it up a little the last couple of years so it may favor those who don't rely on rallies to win points. Ultimately, the grass will be the judge.

By the way, did you finally decide to play tennis and go to a club ? Even if it's only old white men ? :lolbron: Or are you just playing with your wife ? I remember you were talking about that (way) earlier in this thread :lolbron:

YOOOOOOO

i swear to GOD i unleashed the fukkin dragon in the mixed doubles match we just won...i forgot what that feeling was like

tumblr_mrfrnrHfPz1rxxpqdo1_400.gif


The dude pulled the heaviest bullshyt EVER in the second game of the first set on my serve...:bryan::bryan:we were furious swearing at the guy :bryan::bryan:

it was a clear double bounce and i called it and he said no he got the racquet under..i said yeah you got it under after the 2nd bounce..he was like NO..and i go "man why would i call that bullshyt just to call it"...he says "u know what, im done arguing"..i go ok (it was 30-40)..and go to serve at deuce and then he says nah its our game :mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown: its a charity tournament and im playing with a 12 year old..cant even get a let out here?

this fakkit, i swear to u, evoked some type of shyt i hadnt felt in a decade..i told my partner that we're gonna just hit at him as hard as we can and aim for his face and fukk it if we lose :banderas: (his wife wasnt good but we threw the strat in the bushes)

get down 1-4 and its my serve. i tell her to start to chill..i got this. "we either rattle 5 straight off or lose this set and wipe em the next two"

i brought the god damn THUNDER on my serves. i never served that fast in my life (one scoop of creatine in my gallon water may have helped:steviej:)..people 3 courts over were stopping to be like :wtf: the fukk is that noise?

hold serve with ease (3 aces)..then we saw FEAR in them. they switched their strategy completely cuz they witnessed the power :banderas:..they both started to stay back on my returns instead of play the net..i was like yo they are COOKED (even as were still down 2-4)..

Ended up winning 11 straight games 6-4, 6-0. Knocked the 5th seed the fukk out :camby:eat shyt and die:demonic:

advanced to the finals

6-7(5-7), 6-3, 7-5

that team was ridiculous. older asian lady and dumpy lookin white guy. i swear to god they never missed shots. the guy played like fukkin stefan edberg :mindblown:

popped my strings first set...and i dove on the clay 4-5 times, left bleeding with clay all over me and played the last 4 games of the third set with a slight fracture in my wrist from diving i feel :dead:...then we had to drive 40 minutes to a USTA tournament she was in. she won her match in an age bracket higher than her in a high level tourney in 3 sets then just withdrew lol

thats 5 wins in 7 days for us and now we have to play 2 current collegiate players tomorrow at 8 am. we saw them play next to us and they were rifling shots at old people with no fukks given. if we win its a festivus miracle:heh:

lot of media coverage there tomorrow (ended up with 700+ entrants)..championship ceremony for all divisions etc..imma be playing with one arm so im just gonna be head hunting. if we lose we lose :ld:, still get a 50 gift certificate as runners up and free breakfast/raffle drawing and might end up interviewed

if we win (former state champ that retired for 6 years and 12 year old) against 2 state champions and current college players :whew:..good lord im going to troll in the media
