Jake was slight favourite when I looked yesterday. Now showing 10/11 each.

Interestingly, Tennis Abstract forecast Bu as 55-45 slight favourite.

TA has Cam as 85% chance of winning.

I usually think the TA ratings are quite reflective of form. But they have Colton Smith (ATP rank 161) as 45th in the ELO ratings

Im looking at his recent form and just dont get it.

And a wee one on Cam ( at 11/5 against ) to recover from 5-7 *3-4 down and win. He was *0-3 in the second set.

Cam into a 3rd set.

Ha, I've got to go out at *1-2. Took a wee profit at 1-1* 30-30 and cashed ( wimped ) out.
