Well, one thing was always for sure: this laying thing isn't gonna work if all the favorites just win their matches, even if they go to a third set, god knows they didn't do that in the days when I still backed them. And if on top of that you miss the one big surprise of the day... Yes, YOU Sod ! Why didn't you tell me you were gonna tank. Or are you telling me that Ginepri just beat you in two ?
Not even Ana obliged to lose a third set from 1.09...
That's his age, not the odds you could back him at. The Moroccan became the oldest man in 15 years to win an ATP match today. He beat Ryler DeHeart 76 76 in Doha.
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man my son!
—Rudyard Kipling
