1*-2 Phew!!!! From 15-40 to hold!!!

4-4* JCF had bp at 30-40 there and on 2nd serve but Almagro held on :( Odds only got down to 1.46 on bp which is a little odd :(

4*-5 Hold to 15. Now need the break for the set and serving 1st in 2nd would be double bonus please Juan :)

5*-6 Almagro had 0-15 then fought back to deuce from 40-15 finally getting the bp from a 2nd serve but JCF saves it only to hand one straight back but JCF saved it again and went on to hold. That's 4 bp's missed from Almagro. That may cost him later! Let the curse of the missed bp take effect now please :)

5-7 The curse strikes!!! :D 0-30 and odds were still 1.50. I just don't get it sometimes should have been 1.42 tops imho. But eventually breaks to 15 :) 1-0 JCF :) Odds 1.29!!! Boy oh boy!! This is gonna be a tough market! Holding my position at those odds!

1-1* Jcf had 0-15 But Mugro held form there. Odds are a bit strange as at 0-0* 0-40* odds were 1.18. AT 0*-1 0*-15 odds were 1.22!! ALways makes me nervous that sort of thing!

2*-1 Market obviously "knew" LOL JCF is broken from 40-30 :( Odds 1.54.

3-1* )Hold to love. Odds 1.67 would suggest this set is over!! Do people think this is the old compatriot 1-1 shuffle ;)

3*-2 Hold to 15. Odds 1.61. Market is nuts!!! If JCF breaks back this set some people are gonna get turned over big style :o !!!!!

4-2* Had 0-15 but Mugro holds to 15. Odds 1.65
4*-3 Hold to love
5-3* Hold to 15
5*-4 Hold to love again. Now for the break please Juan :)
5-5* 0-30 Odds still 1.55!!!! 0-40 and 1.38!!!! 15-40 2nd serve 1.49!!! Break!!! :) Odds 1.33 C'mon the hold and break for the match :)

5*-6 0-30 is this suddenly WTA after many love service games :( Back to 30-30. 30-40 :( Hold dammit!!! Deuce. BP Again :( 2nd Deuce. GP Take it!! 3rd Deuce :( GP#2 This time please :) pffft 4th deuce! Ace GP#3. ANother ace would be nice :) Deuce#5 :( I give up!!! :( 4bp's saved this game but fianlly holds!! :) Now the curse to strike again please :)

6-6 TB time! Hold to love there Odds 1.44!

Pavlyuchenkova v V Williams

When I got on the score was 3-6 6-1 3-1* 30-30. Took odds of 1.5 on the off chance that Pav gets the break and would have been virtual GSM. Unfortunately Venus held for 3*-2. and odds out to 1.8!!! :(

4-2* Pav had 30-0 but Venus fought back to 30-30 and we were close to a flip flop!!! Pav got adv but then a double fault gave Deuce :( But she finally served it out!

5*-2 Pav takes her break point at first time of asking. Will she serve it out now?

5-3*Typical WTA!! Broken to love serving for the match including 2 Double faults!!! Now can she break for the match or I will be getting mildly nervous!

5*-4 Question now is do I trust Pav to serve this out this time? Or get out while I can? Hmmm stick for me! C'mon Anastasia!!!!! :)

GSM Pav. I didn't want to top up so she could have served it out at first time of asking!!! ;)

Bondarenko v Errani

Tried to get on Alona at 1.05then 1.04 when 4-1* up in 2nd set. She broke for 5*-1 but I didn't get matched started researching my next bets and next thing I know is I've been matched and it's *5-3 0-40!!!!

Back Alona Bondarenko 1.04 £679.81 £27.19
Ref: 9103135715 Bet matched:09:25 05-Oct-09

Scoreboard then seems stuck at 15-40 but odds on Alona back down to 1.01 so I assume she fought back and won?? First time I've not come a cropper in a match involving an Italian for a while ;)

Assuming A Bond won

Looking like an "iffy" scoreboard this week!!! Shock horror so will have to be more vigilant.

Bondarenko finally confirmed as winning 6-3 6-3
