granted a Murrary is a nicer player than Ghareeb but this smells like a total trap here on a way too soft Federer line?

What do you all think?

Fed hasnt played since Aussie Open.

Murray is #10 on hardcourt Ghareeb is a chump basically and ranked 307 on hard and in this as a wildcard.

Murray beat Fed last time they met was on same surface in 2006 7-5 6-4.

Fed should win but line is where it should be.

that line is right? Fed is only a decent type of favorite over this guy?

nicer? what are you kidding? Ghareeb and Andrew are not in the same league. Murray is top 5 material

should be a hell of a match, i'm sure Fed didn't want his first match back since AO Vs the likes of Murray. h2h- 1-1, Andrew has already beatin' him

How many points is this tourney worth? Considering he won this tourney last year he has some points to defend.

Nadal now up to -302,

Djokovic down to -475,

Federer up to -400

unreal, murray was up 5-2 in the tiebreaker of the first set but LOST 8-6

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

trytrytry · Mar 3, 2008

that really hurt

JohnMolson · Mar 3, 2008

fed going down hard in the 2nd

SportSavant · Mar 3, 2008

murray wins 2nd set....

man, if only he had closed the first.....

this is only a 3 set match I think

SportSavant · Mar 3, 2008

Federer is -200 at bet365 in running at the start of the third so a hedge is available if one wanted to get off the bet

EDIT: federrer was down to -120 as Murray was up 40-15 and almost broke serve (now 40-40)

JohnMolson · Mar 3, 2008

murray up a break

SportSavant · Mar 3, 2008

Murray just broke serve which opened up an excellent hedge opportunity.

I took Federer +175, "to win" my initial stake amount on murray. So basically if fedex wins I break even, but if Murray can win its a nice profit......

great thread 3try! :103631605
