OOP
Draw
Tommy Haas (GER)
vs.
John Isner (USA)
Previous meetings: Isner leads 1-0.I'm still a little stunned by all the huge upsets in Rotterdam and yet again missing out on all of them (except Haase) so I think I'll just concentrate on the SAP Open from now on, and try to make some easy cash with some of the match-ups there. The first one that caught my eye is Tommy Haas placed as medium fave against that 6ft9 giant John Isner, who defeated him during his great Washington run last year. In fact Haas has struggled against such giant servers in the past, having lost his last 3 encounters with Dr Ivo Karlovic. The pace and angle they generate from such heights is notoriously difficult to read and once a volatile player like Haas gets frustrated and loses patience at never being able to get a sniff on his opponent's service games, it will usually lead to a loss if his opponent can keep his head.
Haas has jokingly admitted in the past that he thought "the ATP should ban all players over 6ft6", and when you consider the fact he has recently had shoulder surgery, looked rusty against Kendrick last night, suffered the embarassment of losing to Hartfield and was ripped a new one by Sampras all in the last 10 days, he is well worth a fade against an opponent he clearly doesn't enjoy playing and who has had decent showings in these small American tournaments since last summer. Let's go Big John Isner, let's make some sweet money cash today!!

Nah.
Would be shocked and stunned if we were talking grand slams but this aint nothing new ,top seeds going out by the truck loads in smaller tournaments. Look down over the years. It happens all the time. I aint suprised at all.
Yes we all know upsets happen but I'm talking about betting here, there is a slight difference between not being surprised after they happen and wagering real money that they will happen BEFORE they do.
Good spot on Isner.
That's the exact reason why betting is a fools game. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Wow - that was a great pick. In the end you were right - after a 2nd set like that Haas couldn't mentally make a comeback
And surely Isner was always fave to win??? Its hardly upset of the decade. Haas is 30. Fantastic , well respected player in his prime, but so very obviously in his twilight in Tennis terms.
Isner new young buck. Law of the jungle and all that. Can't read any more into it than that
2.30...... obviously he wasn't fave was he, you moron.
Mmm,
As Isner was no.3 seed and Haas was er unseeded well I would say Isner was definitely favourite to win that match wouldn't you knobhead. Unless you know better than the seedings commitee and rankings . LOL
Your little brain is getting confused freakshow, Haas was the number 3 seed, Isner is ranked 106 and barely made the cut. Hope this helps, now get the fuck outta here.
I agree it was hard to bet against Isner. Hass was no.3 wasn't he?
I agree about the new blood though.
