Tipical of me: after a good period (a short one in this case, just two days) I destroy everything I've built up.
So yesterday I've lost all the profits from Monday and Tuesday plus something.
And I wasn't even chasing or I've violated any of my self-imposed rule. I was just crap in every single match, indipendently from the match I've traded before.
Even worse I actually wrote what I was about to do and see in yesterday's post, but instead of acting like it was written in the screenplay I went for improvisation.
Little to say about Putintseva v Van Uytvanck match. The two were of different leagues.
Though after a couple of tight games and some shenanigans from Putintseva -she asked the umpire if it wasn't too cold to play- I believed she might be tanking as many are in this pre-Slam week. She wasn't.
Usual mistake from me: I didn't take the loss, and stayed with a bigger red. I keep doing it and it's very poor. I also lack of killer instict as Putintseva also went up to over 1.7.
Then there was Kanepi v Cibulkova, or better it was in the same time of the aforementioned match but that one was early locked. Kanepi suddenly went down to shite odds and there was little to do about that. I managed some small profits anyway. As the second set went further I believed Cibulkova was actually trying to win it, and thought I took a great price backing her at 3.3 (she had also better odds, but again I lacked of killer instict), so from an all-green, changes but still green, I found myself with a red on Kanepi who eventually won the tie-break of the second set and so the match.
Following this came Bouchard v Giorgi. Giorgi didn't solve her problems on the service, although percentage and double faults were better than in her previous match. Bouchard smartly changed her game starting to play Giorgi's one: tactic-less and random shot selection; because giving pace and letting the rallies go longer, and also playing rallies as a normal tennis player does, made the points leaning toward Giorgi. I sensed this tactical adjustament in Bouchard's game and so I thought also Giorgi would have sensed it.
And again I kept the red. I stayed with my she-still-have-time-to-level-it-up kind of thought.
Giorgi continued to play her game made of lookalike first and second serve and errors caused by her attemps to hit winners from every position and in any condition, looks like she hasn't got provisional shots.
With my surprise I also found loss on Arvidsson (v Peng), plus some pocket changes on Goerges v Vandeweghe: a small lay of Goerges believing her to be the kind of girl who'd rather tank and go shopping in Paris, shame she did so in later in the same day.
On other happier news Stephens survived to one and half match yesterday and into quarterfinals. Peng has the kind of game that suit her. I'd consider about backing Peng to little covers the liabilities, just in case...
No daily plan, which I eventually don't follow, today (only morning).
