Hey there sparkus8, nice! ... i jumped on your best bet. Close match but great win! :smile:
i got $ 1.90 for him..

Go Marat!

I wish it wasn't as close as it was DC. Mirnyi should have won every set easily, but he made us work extremely hard for our money!!

Tonight I think Mirnyi will probably struggle a bit after such a tough match. Stepanek will be well rested after his win over youzhny so i think he should win.

In the other semi i cant see Safin losing, for 95% of last nights match he dominated Hewitt but lost it towards the end. Canas rolled his ankle last night and his win flattered him a little bit because lopez was so bad.

I feel that for Canas to beat Safin he would have to be 100% which he isnt right now, so if you are looking for a good thing tonight I would get on Safin.

ooo jeez Correct me if im wrong But Saffins form can go from blistering to Bulls**t in the twinkling of an eye I backed him a couple of times but jeez to my mind hes a risky conveyance My opinion maybe nowhere as informed as yours but thats the impression I get...cheers good luck whoever ya back

I agree about Safin, he should win.

I also think Stepanek can beat Mirnyi but it's closer than the odds suggest.

You are right mate his form can be a bit topsy turvy, but in his last two matches he has been very impressive and he has always performed very well at this tournament because the surface suits his game perfectly. I would be extremely surprised if he lost this match, but who knows what goes through Safin's mind!!

hahaha yeah well he strikes me as a bit of a loose wheel I like watching him play because he can be brilliant ..I cant keep up with all this sport these days as much as i like it that poor old brain cell will hold only so much info at one time :smile:

Go Safin!!!

Same here Floydy, when tennis finishes up for the season I am going to in a bit of trouble until it starts back up again because most of my focus has been on that and nothing else really. Starting to get back into NBA, but that is just tocover the gap until tennis starts again.

Anyways my tip for tonight is Safin in straight sets. Safin was pretty impressive once again and is managing to keep his emotions in check most of the time. The only problem is that he twisted his ankle last night - didn't really seem to affect him that much, but it could be a concern.

Last night was Stepaneks final and he was very emotional when he won - I am expecting a big let down from him tonight. Stepanek also had to come through qualifying which means he has played three extra matches compared to safin(1st rd bye). After his emotional win last night I think fatigue will be a factor for him. Stepanek did beat Safin in 3 sets the last time they played, but Safin has clicked his game up a few gears since then and I am pretty sure stepanek hasn't.

Good punting tonight and I hope you get a winner!

Safin will probably win but odds are far too short and Stepanek has upset so many others this competition. It's just not worth it.
