Bethanie Mattek-Sands
Woman on the right side is called Lady Gaga of women's tennis by some people. Whether it's right or not I don't care but she is definitely very special ;)

Bethanie Mattek-Sands was a great shot for us if you layed Pennettta (1.66) from the start. In my previous post I was looking forward to watch & trade Petkovic-Kirilenko and Mattek-Pennetta. Bethanie did a great job for me taking first set and finally win match in 3rd set, exactly as needed on my side.

The second one, Petkovic (1.45) was another lay from the start. This time Petkovic was broken early and Kirilenko had a great chance to win first set. Unfortunately Petkovic was back to 5-5 and won 7-5. Anyway with 7 breaks of serve during 1st set we had plenty of trading opportunities. A very nice profit on both matches but could be huge green for me if only Kirilenko could control her nerves and win first set. Maybe better luck next time ;)

Some screen shots from yesterday below....



And if you like "Lady Gaga" here is more....LOL




What about today's trading ? I still not decided what to follow. I like Starace-Troicki and again, Bethanie against Gajdosova (Groth). In both games there is no clear favorite, odds about 2.00 ...With a few breaks of serve we should be in profit, the problem is what to do from start...LOL
Mattek is an extremely offensive player and I may back her from the start. A god idea is wait and see who is going to start serving in both matches.

Ohhh, what a shame !
They decided to change courts and now is Wickmayer-Ivanovic on the center court, Bethanie-Gajdosova on court 1 :(
Wish you good luck !


Here comes an update...

Mattek-Sands has lost her match, 2-6, 4-6 and I was completely wrong about this one.

A very good advice from me is:  never follow my advices LOL

I must admit it was my lucky day, I lost backing Bethanie from the start but just before start of this match I found there was a change of courts which means NO LIVE stream from this match so I put only small stake just for fun....another advice here..


Never place any bets just for fun !!! ;)

What happened in this match ? How could I be so wrong ? I have no idea, maybe she was out of gasoline already after playing very late 3 sets match against Pennetta yesterday ? She only won 4 points when Gajdosova serving in first set !! Amazing, and I don't know if it was Jarmila playing very good or our Lady Gaga not in the best form....

No big damage done here on my side...look here, I am watching on my red and hoping for a miracle LOL


Wish you better luck !

I was trading this match and unfortunately I ended up in a loss. I don't have a clue how it happened but Pennete turned 180 degrees and stopped playing. I had her backed and then it got worse and worse and worse.

I was just about to ask you how do you get out of situations like this. I was trading another match in ATP series, I can't remember which one it was, but it was really really reaaaaaaaally going on my nerves.

The players started the first set really good, not break, just tie break at the end. In the second set, a different story. 1.st game, 40:0, I thought that's gonna be easy for the server to win, 3 game points, but no, got broken. This has happened 5 times in a row. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I think it was 6 breaks in a row, but not straight breaks. The server always got up to 40:0 and then lost 5 balls in a row. It was a joke and a loss for me.

So I would like to ask for an advice about this, if you will be willing to respond, I would be greatful :)

Thank you in advance
Lukas

Lukas<---Such "strange" games happens from time to time. It looks like sometimes after first set there are 2 different players on the court, it's a mental game. I remember Raonic in one of his matches, serving like a machine, ace after ace in first set, the other player had no chance at all. Raonic takes first set without any problems at all. Milos start serving in second set and what happens ?

Yes, he was broken immediately very easy and lost second set. It's beauty of tennis LOL

What you described would also make me crazy. It's not easy to give an advice. Was your money on winner of first set ? What were odds on players etc...In such tight matches I would probably lay winner of first set....

I try to "remember" such games and such players...make notes...put them on blog etc.....just to have something to go back if needed. There are players I avoid or would never place my money on them to win ;)

Here ( http://toytrader.blogspot.com/2011/04/sweating-and-swearing.html ) is my post about match I still remember and am very happy about. I turned BIG RED into green ;)

Good luck !
