Roger Federer v Novak Djokovic

Well I had a lovely Sunday lunch at some friends. Roast pork with all the trimming and lashing and lashings of red wine :-)

Home in time to find Djokovic 2-0* up in the final set against Federer with deuce too. So on I lump at 1.38!!

Fortunately Nole takes the break at the third time of asking. Djokovic consolidates the double break with a hold for 4-0*

4*-1 Good service game from Federer but surely too little too late!
Maybe I spoke too soon!!! 0-40... 15-40... 30-40... Deuce... GP... Holds!!!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, should be that! :-) 5-1*
5*-2 time to serve it out! 0-15... 15-15... 30-15... 30-30... MP#1... GSM

Djokovic wins 6-4 4-6 6-2
Profit: £13.78

Richard Gasquet v Marco Chiudinelli

Got on when Gasquet was being treated for an elbow injury after losing the 1st set 6-1. Happy to let it ride, the Mrs sent me out to get a lottery ticket for tonight's euromillions! £90million apparently! So if you don't hear from me tomorrow you'll know why!!!!!

Yes that's right..... I'll be playing rugby ;-) LOL

Anyway I get back from the shops to see Chiudinelli is 5-2* up in the second so I'm happy that I've had a winner.

Chiudinelli Wins  6-1 6-3

Profit: £1.46

Stanislas Wawrinka v Novak Djokovic

Well I don't know what is up with me this week I just can't seem to get going! Thank God I've kept the stakes small!

Anyway in this match I really fancied Djokovic from the off so lumped on at 1.27.

Unfortunately Stan won the first set 6-3. I was, however confident that Novak would win the second set and then probably the match. I was right it seems!!!

The fact that when Stan looked like breaking in the 2nd set I decided to red out seemed to be vindicated when he completed the break. But Novak broke straight back and went on to win the set in a tiebreak. I did think about laying Nole at the start of the third to try and rescue some but glad I didn't as he opened up a 4-0 lead!

Djokovic Wins 3-6 7-6(5) 6-2
Loss: £22.44

Oh well looks like I may finish with my first red week since I started the blog unless I get my finger out. I'm not tempted to deposit more and up the stakes though as my judgement has been so bad this week.

Radek Stepanek v Marin Cilic

Well I've been working again all day today so no bets. However I just got in as this match was reaching the end. I decided to get in on match point which Stepanek duly took!

 

Stepanek Wins 4-6  6-3 6-3

Profit: £1.22

Jarkko Nieminen v Julien Benneteau

Well sometimes you need a slice of luck to get you back on track and this certainly falls into this category. I backed Benneteau @ 5-5 in the first set as he was about to serve. He was broken and then Nieminen served it out to win 7-5.

As Benneteau was to serve first in the second I switched hoping for the break. It came and then I did a full switch again. Nieminen held but during the game at 30-30 I think it was the market was so all over the place that I was able to green out!!
