Roger's Masters? Day 1

Another day, another defeat and just at the moment, my individual match bet record looks about as favourable as Thaksin Shinawatra's record on human rights. Most shockingly of all, I am even being outgunned by the RP!

Yes, Hyung-Taik Lee lost a three setter to Stanislas Wawrinka in the first round today and I had placed a two and a half point wager on the Korean in the assumption of victory. I was most disappointed with Lee's 6-1 capitulation in the decider and can only conclude that he's burnt himself out by playing too many tournaments.

This is poor form though and I think I might watch a few games here in Montreal before diving in on another match bet, although I do like the look of Soderling to take out an out of sorts Safin in their first rounder at just shy of evens.

Fortunately for me, my great run in outright betting is keeping me afloat and I have managed to obtain decent three figure prices on Baghdatis and Canas and big prices on Haas and Murray also. The surprise defeat of Tomas Berdych today will help Baghdatis and if he takes out Moya tomorrow, I expect a good run for my money from the popular Cypriot.
