Week 29 - Challenger ($50,000) - Lexington, KY, USA - Hard

LOL, i don't know about the result, all I could find was this (on www.freetennis bettingtips.com) ...

"
Were checking out all the finals here at Free Tennis Betting Tips and we hope weve found some value on the Challenger Tour, in the final of the sweltering Lexington event, where the top two seeds James Ward and Wayne Odesnik meet.

Most people know the story of Odesnik, who is back on tour after a suspension for HGH has worked his way up from futures and is probably a top 100 player despite his dubious past. He can handle the hot conditions and has swept through to the final without dropping a set. Ward is a decent player with a strong serve but has had to work harder to get here and he does occasionally have doubts at key times. So Odesnik at Stan James price of 1.83 looks super value. Grab it while it lasts.

If the match hasn't started yet, might be worth a bet!!!!

"I lost today 7.5 6.4! Had a loads of chances but he played well on those points- good week for me with 2 finals and going to build on it!!"

Not a bad week though and hopefully a new CH around 170 tomorrow.

Not quite that good - 177

Good week for James. Shame he didn't win.

Where is he playing next?

I assume you've seen this somewhere where someone has worked it out properly rather than just basing it on the points needed for any given place last week like I do? If true, that's a pity, there must have been more people moving up around that area than down and he'll have missed a new CH by a single place.

Ah, possibly at http://live-tennis.eu/ - which suggests Odesnik himself will be the last overtaker.

As I aid up thread he will still have 15 points less than he did posts Queens so he probably shouldn't have a career high based on his current total.

Disappointing loss, but Dino himself seems quite upbeat.

That makes sense but thanks to the unavoidable vagaries of the ranking system, 309 points would have been good enough for WR 172 last Monday and 324 (what he had after Queen's) would have put him in the low 160s!

Good week, Id hoped to drive down there but circumstances contrived to make it impossible. I am very hopeful of making the qualifying Saturday at Cincy next month, may be a bit much to expect any Brits but may see Andy practice and a bunch of great tennis for a $10 admission.

But Andy will be playing his Montreal SF on that Saturday wink

Wardy could get that career high this week without playing - currently at 172
