Yesterday could have been a fabulous, shiny day, but poor selections and lack of focus in the only trade I was able to do covered it in red.
Thinking other seeded players would be ousted I laid Kvitova and Vinci, match I couldn't monitor, and moreover I "know" Vinci doesn't tank. Small liabilities in both, but still...
Both Kvitova and Vinci won.
The upsets were Lisicki v Cadantu (actually I picked this two days ago, but forgot), and Zakopalova v Camerin.
I was live trading that Zakopalova - Camerin. It was the kind of match I like with momentum going from side to side, and lots of service broken (19 breaks in 30 games played). The major difficult was understanding who held the momentum, since body language from both suggested otherwise.
No big disaster from me, just I backed Zakopalova, above the even (around 2.20), when she was a break down in the third set, Camerin held till the end.
All matches in both Casablanca and Katowice are televised today.
I'll start with Bertens Vinci, still think Vinci won't tank but Bertens could be an hard task.
Then I'm undecided, Cadantu - Begu or Carreno-Busta - Anderson.
I expect a classic WTA drama in the Romanian derby, but I also wonder what Anderson is doing in the dirt, and Carreno-Busta could be an hard matchup in any case.
I don't know if I'll trade it (discipline suggests me to stay awayfrom it, for different reasons) but surely I'm going to watch Volandri - Klizan and cheering Volandri.
