Djokovic looking really shaky, might even lose here.

Not sure, even though he lost in 2 sets the betting market still supports him odds @1.30 if we bet on Djokovic and @3.3 for Djere
The betting market predicts that Djokovic will make a comeback and it looked like he would secure the 3rd set without giving a single point to Djere
Regarding the 1st and 2nd sets, is Djokovic joking? I mean, deliberately giving gamblers a surprise  Cheesy



I wouldn't be surprised if he came back and won bro, I've seen this a lot this tournament already.

This is Djokovic at its best. I am sure there is plenty of data analysis about players losing 1st set and sometimes 2nd set if it's a 5 set game, but the discussion has existed for a long time and I think I remember a press conference where he was confronted with the allegation that he behaves like an actor in the early phase of a game although I think that might go too far as he did indeed lose more matches than he won when he was 0-2 down. But still the turnarounds are sometimes so confusing that there is hardly any reasonable explanation for that.

A game this like this is the best reason for people to think that something must be wrong:



I tried to find out whether Laslo Đere was injured, but seems not.

Trofo you got Rybakina right already, well done. Now I must hope Pegula and Ons progress otherwise you already will be ahead of me. We're both doing so badly this round, 5 questions gone and 2-1.

I guess I'm losing this one but Djokovic gave me a lot of hope, if Alcaraz loses just one set I'm even there!


The same goes for me too. I need Alcaraz to lose only one set to get that answer right and for Pegula or Jabeur to drop out to get ahead of Slissy. We have enough different answers to keep this round intense to the very end. I really need this win to keep me off the lower part of the table. In the last three rounds I'm up against the last three players who will try to do their best to avoid relegation.

And there she goes what a headache WTA is Jesus SMH.
Come on, that was hardly unexpected. Going into the tournament I am surprised Rybakina even got this far, same goes for Jabour and Pegula from our choices. Maybe the other two will not lose in this round but I don't expect them to go much further. While I expect Swiatek and Sabalenka to waltz their way to final. Gauff is a though one to call, she could be a dark horse and even win the whole thing or just break apart and loose first time it gets really though.

Djokovic wasn't joking that's why most tennis loves him, he makes every game worth their money and time to watch him play, he just never look fazed regardless of what the odds are for him to lose, even if it's a 5 love game and 40 love match point deficit for him.

I mean at 36, it's really crazy that he can outlast most the young ones with ease, but Djere really did give him a run for his money, and puts us with the 2 sets or less on the line, because Alcaraz now needs to get the job done in straight sets against high flying Daniel Evans with losing any, that looks like a huge task, but there is nothing the young Spaniard isn't capable of himself too.

Update on all the women tennis top seed :

All 6 of them ended up winning their first 2 games. Some will be playing their their 3rd game today while some will play it tomorrow so cross your fingers on your selections  Roll Eyes

Decent number of BSFL participants were actually answering the question with all Yes. I guess women tennis top seed is less 'volatile' compared to the men top seed huh, this is probably the first time that I paid extra attention on women tennis

I think it's exactly the opposite. Women players in tennis tend to lose games against much weaker opponents "on paper". For example Pugula lost 2-0 against Bouzkova (who is 31st on the WTA list) in Cincinnati. And in Montreal she managed to win only one game against Samsonova who is 15th on the WTA list. I'm not following women tennis that much but I think that surprises are more common in women tennis than in men tennis.

As for the men tennis question, it looks like a point against me once again because both Đoković and Alcaraz won all matches straight 3-0.
Biggest difference between men and women in tennis is in serve. When men have a bad day, they can serve out until things get better. When women have bad day it is 6:0 in 20 minutes.

I still remember what one pro gambler told me long time ago about betting on tennis. When you bet on ATP you have to check surfaces, form and know something about players. When you bet on WTA you need to know what foot she got up, what is her horoscope sign how it correlates with current planetary alignement and if she is on period. Still if you get all that correct it is enough that someone in audiance yells wrong thing and your choice falls apart. Grin In short, don't bet on WTA.

Speaking of WTA looks like Rybakina must be on that time of month in the constellation of Libra and Aquarius  Grin Grin Grin

Latvia keeps performing incredibly well in the last quarters. After destroying France 26-12, which was enough for a close 88-86 win, they did the same to Spain today.

They won the last quarter 27-11, overturning an 11-points deficit. Now they are the favorites to go through to the quarterfinals where they should face a quite winnable Germany.

I'll be rooting for them, they have done so much already - it would be great if they would be able to win a medal.

I've generally been 50-50 this season with the 50-50s, but I feel like it's been going the way of the very very slight "lower-seeded" team in even odds. Last round it was Canada over France, this one is Haecken (their odds improved yesterday though).

that is kudos to Cro2 for picking good and interesting matches
Canada is not my cup-of-tea, they are miss for me always, since their football plays against Guatemala or some other Carribean football masterpiece

Serbia lost to Italy, it will be tough one against Dominican republic with this play as today, Fontecchio entered top5 race with 30 points today, not sure if anyone has him on board (thought about him, but counted on our defense, that wasn't on their best today allowing him 9/11 from field)

Pretty strange to see all WTA seeds still alive on R3 but this is where the cracks start to appear -- pleased I went with all "yes" but you never count chickens in this game. Men's top 2 haven't dropped a set yet!

Agree about the sets thing for women, which is what I mentioned earlier. More opportunity for upsets. I actually used to like betting on 3:1 and 3:2 for live men's on the favs but Djoker's been imperious lately.

I finally have a football match going my way to give me an advantage, I don't remember the last time such thing happened, I just believed Hacken have been doing very well lately and Aberdeen are the exact opposite of that, so it was just really easy going with Hacken based on my guess, glad it worked out well for me, maybe I can't finally get a win on the board again after almost 2 months without one.

It was always a risk. Haecken scored 1 or 0 goals in their last 10 away games. I think when they scored their second it was 2 from 2 shots on goal vs 5 from Aberdeen at that stage. This was luck in the first half to me.

I hate myself for always losing points on those 50-50 questions.

I would argue that it is similar in usual competitions, but men have less surprises on GS's due to playing best-of-5 and it is hard to win three sets against better opponent
can't count how many times Djokovic overturned 0:2 match on GS, and in women competition that would be already done

with all that, glad to see Pegula in third round, match against Svitolina is a point decider for me, odds on her are @1.36, not realistic IMO, it will be tougher to pass through

Oh yeah. I completely forgot about the part where men need to win three sets, while women need to win only two sets in grand slams. I drew my conclusion by checking the last results from Pegula and saw that she lost against much weaker opponent in both tournaments prior to the US Open.

It looks like Jabeur managed to win against Noskova tonight. It wasn't easy because they played a tie-break in the first set (which Jabeur won) and then Noskova won the second set 6-4. She's playing against Bouzkova tomorrow and that will be my chance to win a point against Slissy who just won his first point due to Hacken qualifying for the next round. I hate myself for always losing points on those 50-50 questions.

All the top 6 seeds are actually just about to face their biggest test yet in the US open, but some are actually more tougher than the other in my opinion, Pegula, the USA no 1. opponent is still suppose to be one of the easiest according to their seedings where she's 3rd coming into the tournament, but in reality I think she's facing the toughest opponent in the 3rd round than the remaining 5 seeded players, she's up against Elina Svitolina, meanwhile Svitolina have been very impressing, all the way back from Wimbledon.

I still fancy Ons Jabeur chances against Bouzkova, than that of Pegula playing against Svitolina. It's just a matter of less than 24 hours, I'll try to put a bit of parlay on all the 6 of them to win their respective games, hopefully it'll be of decent odds combine, except Coco Gauff's, that's the match up I don't think the ML is worth it, and Gauff winning in straight sets over Mertens is easier on paper, than in the court.

I assumed I was gonna lose on Hacken as well (went with Aberdeen), but I hedged it with a 5mBTC bet on Hacken to qualify.

I've been countering my BSFL picks with great success recently, meaning I'm earning money on SB, but losing games here.

I really want that Div1, so need to up my game a bit. I'm also kinda unlucky, I have 2/3 correct and am at a disadvantage again. Let's see what basketball brings us.
