Good call on Djoker and Baghdatis.

Isner seemed to struggle with the heat, especially in the 3rd set when he could barely hit a 1st serve or keep up with the rallies.

They really need to get Hawkeye on stadium 2 at this tourney, so many atrocious line calls this week!!!

Agree entirely.

I think Isner is value also, in fact I put a small back bet on him in the outright win market last week at odds of 110, I think he can potentially overpower Nadal on serve with his massive serve and high bounce. Isner's overall game is very solid for a 6'9" player, and he seems to pick his spots very well. Dominated Querrey on Monday night... and will enjoy home crowd support vs Nadal.

Nadal has been relatively untested so far, with wins against an over-the-hill Schuettler and out-of-form Ancic, hard to say if he's truly back at 100%.

a very good point you make there which is being proven so far. i also think baghdatis is a bit short due to his win yesterday with not a lot between himself and the birdman albeit he leads the H2H comfortably.

Some interesting matches for today, the only one of which i can comment on straight away would be the Djoko ljubicic match. With Jokers recent form, particularly in the serving department, the odds currently seem a bit low to me, especially if Ivan can come out serving well. Most of Jokers recent matches have gone the distance and on recent form i cant see anything to suggest this may change, although ultimately he should win.

In summary, a lay of Joker is the value here.
