Chado's Australian Open Tennis Pick!!!

[griffey_mojo]

..he is 2-1 against him on hard court,

I read Federer has 3 wins to Nadals 2 on hardcourt...

Federer does hold a 3-2 edge in their hard-court meetings, though the last came indoors in 2007 at the Masters Cup in Shanghai.

Masters Cup in Shanghai is a carpet surface not hard court..

They have only played 3 times total on hard court and the last time was way back in 2006...Nadal has won 2 of them Fed won 1...

apparently they consider carpet as hard court...

I don't claim to be a tennis expert like you but there is clay, grass, and hardcourt...I guess I would put carpet under hardcourt too...

Hard Court: Nadal leads 2-1

Carpet: Federer leads 2-0

Clay: Nadal leads 9-1

Grass: Federer leads 2-1

That is where they get the 3-2 because Federer is 2-0 against Nadal on Carpet but the Australian Open is not carpet...Nadal fucking owns shit on Clay I know that...9-1 against Fed on that surface...

Good Luck Chad.....I don't know why, but I see Fed winning this one. I think it's odd that as much as Nadal has owned Fed, that he is a big dog. Plus, the 5 hour match had to take some out of the kid. Hope you hit tho, cuz I wont play Fed at -150 against Nadal. Nail it!

How tired will Nadal be?

He's young, but they played the longest match in Australian Open history. over 5 hours. Dont know if they played with the roof on though. They looked like whipped dogs afterwards. Fed breezed by Roddick...

Havent bet in a few weeks but am definately getting down on this one. I have been following this tourney really closely and tennis in general the past year or so with Moondog. Both Nadal and Federer are in the semi finals right now and are each around -1000 to win their match to advance and play each other. Nadal flat out owns Federer he is like 12-4 against him in his career and they will be meeting once again in the Final in a couple days once they take care of their semi final opponents. Also I feel Nadal will be favored over Federer in the final which makes getting this play in at plus money is a good move now. With that being said I am throwing down a good chunk right now on:

RAFAEL NADAL TO WIN AUSTRALIAN OPEN @ +120

GL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is messed up. He was only +120 to win 2 matches and now he is +140 or better just to win one. Either the +125 was a horrible line to win 2 matches or alot has changed. With a +125 line, i assumed that meant Nadal would be favored over Federer. The line doesn't make alot of sense now.

It's because of Nadal's match against Verdasco and Fed's easy one against Roddick. A 5 hour slug fest in that heat would be enough to kill a man....But I'm not too sure if they played with the roof off. Even if they didn't, it's still takes a lot out of a guy.

Yes, i know all of that match. I've been following it. It just shows how much that match affected the line and now i think Federer will win.

[wayne1218]

I'm not betting it Chad so i hope he wins for you.

Thats exactly why the line is were it went. If Nadal breezed by Verdasco and Fed struggled with Roddick I believe Nadal would have been favored. Also the match was at night I am pretty sure the roof was closed and the heat was not an issue. I dont put much into Nadal being winded he is young and his fitness is like no other. Its not like the match is being played next day he will have gotten two full days rest since then. Who knows we will see cant wait to watch this one hopefully the psychological aspect of Nadal owning Fed 12-6 lifetime will get the best of Fed mentally should he struggle early with Nadal....

[wayne1218]

I might throw a few bucks on the + number and Nadal. My only problem is that the thing is on at 3 in the morning and i won't see any of it. Makes me feel like why bother if i can't watch!
