goffin seemed flat after beating rafa. a big deal for marty mcfly..no surprise he has a mental letdown.

sir grigor was off the charts in terms of crisp hitting and moving goffin around , hitting the lines/corners. today is a great day for grigor fans.

grigolo into the semi's with 2 wins and 400 rank points, no 4 in rank charts, (leapfrogged thiem after beating him on Monday)

Didn’t think he would lose that badly considering how he beat Nadal and Nadal moved around decently. Also lost 5k on NBA parlays yesterday. 2017 has been the worst.
Some matches smell and you have to stay away. A good guess would have been this match would have been much like their recent Australia encounters, so 6-0, 6-2 a surprise, but expectation was probably something like 6-3, 6-3 based on head to head and form.

I think Goffin beat Nadal straight up for those first two sets and bodes well for future encounters with Rafa on hard courts. The rabbit Nadal pulled out of the hat to take the 2nd was special and pretty strong evidence that the knee was not all that bad. You could see some issues for Goffin's knee in 3rd set as well with Nadal.

Unfortunately, it already has. No turning back now. It's crazy to think how I've squandered over 100k in just a few months. I'm still in denial and in disbelief.
It's not too late as long you are making income from a job (I hope). Chasing your losses is like the worst the thing you can do, especially betting such a high % of your bankroll.

The best thing you need to do is accept you lost the money and save up from there.

I think we should crowdfund SeeingDusk's gambing habit so we can all take the other side. Everyone wins, until all the bookies limit us

Impressive isnt it?

They always get the result right, genius!

I lost money on Federer losing to Thiem on grass, which helped persuade me to stop. I could write a thread on how horrific my gambling luck was

Betting on a guy with a dodgy knee and who matches up poorly against Dimi is just dumb, not bad luck.

I bet $150 on Thiem to win 2-0 against Busta. More drama now.

Dimitrov does it better than Feddy. Goffin is pretty lucky to be in this group.
He's nowhere his best atm.
Quite a match with Nadal. I sure hope he plays Thiem as not exactly thrilled at the idea of Querrey. Come to think of it why on earth is Goffin continuing with Davis Cup finals ahead. He should pull the cord immediately.:eek:

@George Turner

“I'm feeling okay. It was not the problem today. It was just a tough, tough match against Grigor, who played really well,” Goffin said.

“It was not easy for me to lose my serve from the start. It was tough for my confidence after that when it was 0-4. In the second, I had some opportunities to come back, to break back, but he was really solid. He served well.”
