 good on ya ImTheChicken. I learnt my lesson from yesterday when i had tsonga in a trible. Should have hedged when he was a break up but i thought why waste the money when his just cruising. Lost my trible, not going to make the same mistake today.

 @paulmurphy, well soderling's still serving well. But if it goes to another tie breaker i fear for his chances, he really doesn't react well under pressure and in the opposition's country. Wouldn't make a very good davis cup player. He should have already won this match. Let's see how he mentally recovers.

 Well done lilboi ! This tremendous atmosphere of Lyon, it reminds me the finale of Davis Cup in 91 between France and the USA.

 lol, boy am i glad that i picked up benneteau at 7 dollars during the second set so now i win no matter who wins here (had soderling in a triple multi as last leg). From 4-3 up and with a break soderling has somehow managed to be trailing 4-1 in the tiebreaker, could be a repeat of RG where he lost a close tie breaker and just collapsed afterwards against the hostile french crowd.

 Soderling will lose his 4th final (4/4) today against Benneteau. Benneteau is from Lyon it is his tournament, his last of the year.
