Cannot deny it was a bad bet. Unfortunately I tend to lose objectivity when Ryan Harrison is in the draw, because I am a fan of him.

I started rooting for Ryan back in 2009 during his close match at the US Open, lost to Sergyi Stakhovsky. It is funny because he lost the match, and since then he keeps losing. Of course not all the time, but he loses a lot of them. Yesterday I won $500 on a parlay where I included high odds (Joao Sousa included), so I thought I would bet $30 to support my guy. Of course it is not the right to bet, but we are humans. I just thought Ryan would put more effort into the match.

I got the autograph of Ryan Harrison when he played in Taipei (I think it was 2014 or 2015). He is a nice guy. In that tournament, he beat a local player very comfortably but then pulled out due to injury. The story of his career.
When I saw him live, his serve did not look that big but that's probably because Sam Groth was playing earlier on.

in Brisbane, even though Ryan lost, I noticed he went for his backhand more. I thought this shot could make the difference against the Patty Schnyder of the mens tour yesterday, but it was a poor day for him. I hope we will see more big wins from Ryan, just like he did in Acapulco a few years ago. He is still very young, I am confident he has a bright future ahead of him. He is an incredible player who can hit the ball with a lot of pace and precision.


I am quoting this because Pinnacle odds are now 2.46. We will see if I can beat Pinnacle closing line.

Remember that beating Pinnacle closing line is key to long term success.
