Yeah you're probably right about revenge/motivation being a factor here. Krueger obviously has talent but recently she has been total crap from a mental/motivation standpoint. The last time I backed/watched her she was up a break early but when she gave the break back she got so mad that she just completely fell apart and even though she was still even with her opponent she pretty much stopped trying from there. She basically made no effort to win any of the final 8 points of that match which at least helped me recover my losses.
Another thing that stands out to me about her looking in hindsight is that her ranking is now #103. That is an important number from a motivation standpoint because that's right on the edge of getting main draw entry into the slams which carries significant monetary impact with two slams upcoming. Typically when a player is ranked in that range who is good enough to be ranked much higher I like backing them because I know they'll be extra motivated. Problem is I promised myself I'd stay away from her after last time because her lack of effort made me sick. Definitely something to watch for though.

Back to the well. Bart is likely to be a little bit tougher matchup but I REALLY like that we don't have to worry about a game spread this time. Linda Fruity played pretty good too in the last match especially on serve. And even though Taylor didn't cover the spread it's probably a pretty good sign that she fought back to win as a live +2200 underdog. Guaranteed something like that doesn't happen in Asia or Europe. Hopefully her second serve holds up better today.

Will be interesting match with two defenders battling it out. Bouzkova clearly the more talented player but she has struggled for form this year and if this turns into a battle of wills Arango might have the edge as she desperately needs to string together some wins here. With her final from last year dropping off her ranking drops from 59 to 103 which puts her at risk of missing the slam main draws.

Yeah, watch the box scores in the first quarter and wait until one team goes on a run and is up at least 7 or 8 points (the more the better). Then when the opponent calls timeout bet the underdog 1Q alt spread so you are getting slightly plus money on +pts. Only the quarter spread, not full game. This can be done with slightly less effectiveness in the second quarter too but wouldn't try it after halftime. You can thank me later.
