Kuerten/Ferrero

[Cephas]

I have seen Kuerten as high as +110 while shopping today. How is this possible? Sure, Ferrero has looked sharp this year, and especially in this tournament. And sure, Kuerten was fortunate to survive against Russell. But the value here truly lies in Guga. I'll take the proven champion as a dog anytime versus the guy trying to get over the hump. Gustavo has clearly had the more difficult draw as well, playing mostly clay-court specialists while Ferrero has gone against the likes of Enqvist and Hewitt, who are clearly not on their best surface.

Kuerten in 4. Comments?

Is Bjorn Borg still in the tournament?
I heard he was good.

Highly debatable that of the road here. A basic comparison of the lines of the opponents coupled with Ferrero favored here suggests Ferrero's road was tougher.

But I am certainly inclined to agree, its very hard to pass up a dog with the intinsic value Kuerten has here.

I agree with Cephas here.

Kuerten defeated: Coria, Calleri, Alami, Russel, Kafelnikov.

Ferrero defeated: Koubek, Ondruska, Diaz, Enqvist, Hewitt.

In my opinion, there is no doubt that Kuerten's road was much tougher.

kuerten in straight sets
great value
good calls

[Cephas]

Yes, its nice when a plan works out well. Sadly, this is one of the few times this tourney it has. If Kuerten is -250 or less in the final versus whoever, I'd back him again.
