Tennis: Michael Russell v Thomaz Bellucci














Quite a startling collapse from Bellucci! Was serving for the match at 4-5* in the 2nd set and I honestly did think about putting a £2 bet on Russell @ 60's! However I didn't and watched on as first Russell broke then went on to take the tiebreak! I have lumped on just as Russel gets his 2nd break of the 3rd set to take a 3*-0 lead! Odds 1.09

Cue the Russell collapse lol... 15-30! ... 30-30 ... 30-40 FFS I was only joking Michael! ... Deuce ... GP ... Deuce ... Jeez BP #2 ... And Break!!! @rse!!!!

3-1* OK break again please Russell ... 0-15 ... 0-30 ... 15-30 ... 15-40 TAKE IT!!! ... ACE! 30-40 ... This time Russell! ... FFS Deuce ... GP ... Not liking this now!! ... Holds.

3*-2 Still a break up! But I'd rather be taking the 1.67 available now rather than the 1.09 I am on! Strong hold required Michael. 15-0 ... 30-0 good call from the chair ... 30-15 ... 40-15 ... 40-30 ... Take it ... Deuce! Don't balls up from 40-15 up two games running! ... Aaaaargghhhh BP! ... Phew Russell got lucky there drop into the net from Bellucci! Feel free to hit the ball to the areas of the court Bellucci is not in Michael! ... THAT WAS LONG!!!!! WTF!!!! about 6 inches!!! BP!!! Cheating scumbag line judge that's twice this game!!!. Bellucci sends an easy put away wide!!! Deuce ... BP ... FFS Michael you don't have to hit it to your opponent! ... Long????? NO!!! That's 3!!!!! Break!!! Robbed by that line judge!!!

3-3* Break him here Michael I'm sticking with you! 15-0 ... Russell is looking a tad forlorn after losing a 2 break lead and who can blame him? ... 30-0 ... Just need to keep holding from here and I feel he will still get another chance. I wouldn't be backing Bellucci at 1.22 here ... 40-0 But what do I know? ... Hold to love!

3*-4 Four straight games from Bellucci is not good!! Hope Russell can get back into this or it seems my curse will have struck again! 15-0 C'mon steady the ship! ... 30-0 better ... 30-15 c'mon Russell make him move! ... 40-15 now win a game from here for once! ... DOUBLE FAULT!!! 40-30 Don't you dare!!! ... HOLDS!!

4-4* Now get at him early and see how he handles the pressure please! ... 15-0 ... 30-0 see that running you're having to do? that's because you are allowed to hit it into the empty spaces on court! Take note! ... 30-15 Nice ... 40-15 can Bellucci hand one back from 2GP's? ... Errrr that'll be a no then! Holds.

4*-5 Serving to stay in the match! Can he hold? I doubt it! But I'm not going to switch now!! COME ON RUSSELL!!! ... 15-0 ... 30-0 nice point but should have won it 4 shots ago! ... 40-0 ... HOLD to LOVE!!!

5-5* Well that was unexpected from Russell, let's see how Bellucci responds! ... Why are they having a break? ... Has Bellucci been for a pee break? At 5-5??? WTF? ... 0-15 Oh dear Thomaz! ... 15-15 got a lucky bounce on that 2nd serve! ... 30-15 ... ACE 40-15 ... Holds!

5*-6 Free game for Bellucci let's hope the new balls mean Russell will ease into the tie break too! ... 0-15!!! Oh FFS! ... 15-15 ... 15-30 FFS Russell when Bellucci is out wide and you receive the ball in the centre of the court please hit it to the open side of the court! ... 30-30 Yes like that!! ... Christ they need hawk eye here! Russell getting shafted! 30-40 should have been 40-30 but unreturnable 1st serve called out! Whole crowd saw different! HAHAHAHA Deuce! Now that was wide! Bellucci's turn to be wronged! ... FFS easy put away into the net MP #2 ... Deuce ... C'mon Mike! ... GP Take IT!!!! ... Pfffft Deuce ... O feck off Russell 3 times you should have won that point by hitting it to the other side! ... MP #3 ... GSM

Bellucci Wins 6-4 6-7 7-5
Loss: £177.18

Not having much joy at the moment but yes GVL I lumped on a pre match dog.. but at least it was men's this time and with a double break you would have expected better! LOL I guess not! I think I'd better stop throwing away money till I get a better feel for things again!
