While Venus was struggling in her match today, playing with the roof closed, Dick Enberg was talking about the switch to yellow balls in 1986. Somebody at Wimbledon back then was confused about how colors combine and said:

"Do you realize that if we have yellow balls and green grass stains on them, we'll have bloody blue balls at Wimbledon!"

Chris Evert - "OK, I'll leave that one alone."

poor dick

 

[Bucknut24]

both Venus and Serena gone, woooo

 

[BB73]

So, I placed 4 bets on this - one in each quarter of the draw.

And the only one that doesn't make the semifinals? 2-time defending champ Serena, who wasn't match-sharp enough to make it through.

I'll be vPissed if Lisicki wins this as a wildcard entry. :tongue2:

Sharapova-Lisicki and Azarenka-Kvitova are the matchups for Thursdays semis.

Props to Bill!
That is some amazing prognostication!
Compared to the men--RFed, Nadal, and the djoker, Women's tennis play is so erratic & unpredictable I chose to skip the vbet this tournament.
A 75% call on the women's semis is more than noteworthy!

Its all OVA in the final.
Sharapova vs. Kvitova!

What is the ova/unda for that happening?

 

[scarletmike]

Man, Kvitova is lookin really good (no, really, she's hot! ) against Sharapova. She's up 6-3 and now 4-3.

 

[BB73]

Thanks, Petra. for the vCash, and for proving that a young woman can play great tennis without screaming like a banshee on every swing.

Thanks, Petra. for the vCash, ....

Nice call,

Wow, Lots of 0's behind that 6 in the pay out column!

BTW, does BB73 stand for Billionaire Bill or Buckeye Bill born in 73 A.D.?
