I wouldn't even be too harsh with him myself about the COVID vaccine story although I never really fully understood him, but that was his choice and he had to bear the consequences. A problem is when he touches upon highly controversial political topics. When he says that everyone is entitled to their opinion, he is right, but he can share it "privately" on one of his own social media channels and not get a shitstorm going intentionally. But by now I think I have learned that he is this kind of guy who needs it. Even to that is some truth when people say that hate makes them stronger. But Federer and Nadal are the 180°s opposite. Which I think is good as you don't want too many Djokovic-like characters and this is not by any means meant to discredit his achievements as a tennis player. I want to see him against Alcaraz. Alcaraz has a 4-0 head to head lead against Tsitsipas, who would be his opponent next, and a 1-0 lead agains Djokovic who would be his opponent in the semifinal. That would finally be one of those tennis thrillers again that would keep me watching for five hours straight.

Got some insider info yesterday that Djokovic had some issues with his neck so I didn't bet on him v Davidovich Fokina. Anyway, Djokovic is known to be an arrogant pr*ck and a real arsehole in the tennis world. Despite winning lots of tournaments, including GS titles he failed to win the hearts of tennis fans. He is lagging behind in popularity behind Rafa and Roger and all his efforts to match them are in vain. He looks so artificial in whatever he's doing to increase his popularity. Shy Rafa and well-mannered majestic Roger leave him no chance. 

I cant remember ever betting on Davidovic Fokina, he is very talented and has a lot
of skills but his mental strength is not as good as many others and especially over
5 sets against the top players he will struggle unfortunately.

Musetti v Alcaraz, the way Alcaraz is playing here at RG he is going to be hard to beat.
Is he on the same side of the draw as Djokovic?

Interestingly this brazilian guy Seyboth Wild plays again today against Nishioka,
Seyboth Wild is favourite at 1.52!

I believe the odds are very low on the money line for Djokovic to win around @1.10, if you bet then congrats on the profit even though it's not something that's quite exciting because it's small and if you watched the match it wasn't an easy match for Djokovic especially the first and second set because both were passed through a tie break with the same tight score, Djokovic was more focused on the tie break so he didn't let Fokina win the tiebreaker. The third set was relatively easy too because Fokina made so many mistakes that made it easier for Djokovic to get points.
In yesterday's match, apart from Rublev and Hurkacz, both lost in 5 sets, all the top seeds could advance, especially Mussetti, who did not get tough resistance from Norrie and Musetti will face Alcaraz in the next round.

Tsitsipas have made it an easy win 6-2 6-2 6-3. In the match between Rublev and Sonego, the underdog have won the match. Rublev leads 2-0 and Sonego have managed to win all the remaining sets. This could've been a good game to watch, particularly users could've got an opportunity to place good bets when Rublev was 2-0 lead. With a tie breaker win in the fourth set took the match in his favour and gained confidence Sonego and won the match 5-7 0-6 6-3 7⁷-6⁵ 6-3.

No Schwartzman is not having a great season this year. It was easy enough for
Tsitsipas 2-6, 2-6 & 3-6. He plays Ofner, the guy who killed my bet on Fognini
today and Korda earlier in the week, does he pose a real threat to Tsitsipas?

Djokovic - I think his popularity has waned a bit iver the last few years, hitting a
line judge at the US Open in 2020, then the messing around with the COVID vaccine
didnt win him much brownie points.

Tsitsipas played an easy game because Schwartzman was disappointing. Except for a few moments when Schwartzman demonstrated his quality, he failed to play even average tennis most of the time. If it wasn't for Tsitsipas who had some series of unforced errors I think in the second and the third set, it would have been over even faster than that. Tsitsipas was of course the favorite in this game, but I did expect Schwartzman to be a bit harder to beat.

Djokovic is going toe-to-toe with essentially everyone on and off the court! He is fully into politics and doesn't hold back with his opinion even though it is not allowed. The stadium booed at him because he also provoked the crowd and his opponent kind of when he cheered about his second set win in an unusually happy way. Even though he is going to be the best in terms of Grand Slam titles won, he has never been the most popular at all. Not that it is necessary, but he likes to be hated and he shows it.

Djokovic as expected in the end won 3-0 but it wasnt easy at all. The match lasted more then 3 hours and the first set was only 90 minutes. Djokovic also had to comeback a few times from losing the set and was able to somehow win it. Tsitsipas leads 0-2 in sets and now leading big in third so another easy win for him

At this moment Novak is playing against Alejandro and it seems that without many surprises Novak is winning and could end the game with victory, something that is expected to happen even before the game started, he was already coming to this game as the Big favorite so I hope he wins the game. also in a few minutes we will have the game of Stefanos Tsitsipas against Diego Sebastián Schwartzman, in this game also the favorite which is Tsitsipas is also being seen as a likely winner, with odds of @1.10 in favor of Tsitsipas I don't see any surprises in this game , so in my opinion Tsitsipas will come out of this game with victory

then we will have the game of Carlos Alcaraz against Denis Shapovalov, also in this game the favorite that Carlos Alcaraz has a very low odd, something like @1.04 honestly is very low against Denis Shapovalov's @12.00, I wonder if anyone will have the courage to bet on Denis Shapovalov to win this game, Denis Shapovalov occupies the number 32 position and has been a player who doesn't focus much on the games, this is visible because of his behavior during the games, while the one who currently occupies the number 1 is one of the big favorites to win this tournament, in my opinion we won't see any surprises in this game, Alcaraz will win the game

I did not expect Rublev to lose to Sonego today but i guess it is not that surprising considering rublev has been off in the last couple of tournaments not able to make it past the 1/8 stage, rublev was really off in today game he was leading 2 0 at one point and he won the second set 6 0 and everything changed after that with sonego great comeback it was a really crazy game.

Djokovic played the set really bad but with how good he is and his experience he was able to somehow return two times in the set and now has won the tie break and got the first set. Now he leads 1-0 and his moral should go up while Fokina that gaved his max is now thinking how he can win a set because he served for set and had the set in the bag. This might go into 3-0 in sets

Yes, some of these matches are actually a good opportunity and it's impossible to come twice because to be able to have the opportunity to bet from several easy matches is very rarely encountered by every gambler.
I'm lucky to have this opportunity and I really have the satisfaction.

By the way, now there is a match going on and it is quite interesting between Djokovic and Davidovich.
I bet a win for Djokovic in this match.

he gave a lot of emotions (for those who followed the match live) and really seemed to be able to win (albeit with enormous difficulty in the third set)...

Ok this guy it's a champion, ok everything . But if he fails to win games like that and makes life so hard, I see his future as really complicated.

Too bad for another Italian also eliminated yesterday Vavassori. lost against number 238 Olivieri)

didn't expected that from Sinner, but he left the competition, and it is early
that side of the draw starting to look really challenging, and Rune/Ruud are probably only players that could be seen as finalist at this point

maybe they will have chance against other finalist, but today's part of draw is much stronger, with top3 clay players at the moment there, Djokovic, Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, whoever enter the finals will be a favorite

That was a close match. After set 3 I thought that was it. But then Altmaier came back with a great performance. Concentrated, mental strength, playful class, concentration and also the courage to take risks. Even when Sinner had match points, he showed a lot of courage in the game. The last game at 6:5 lasted almost 12 minutes. Now it will be seen whether he has enough power for the next match. That is against Dimitrov.

I also don't believe that Sinner lost to this German player, I mean not to underestimated Altmaier but the fourth set is Sinner's biggest chance to finish the match but this Altmaier didn't lower his resistance in the slightest, nor did Sinner in the fifth set not lower his resistance in the 5-4 Altmaier performing services.

This year's, N. Jarry won two clay tournaments so he was pretty good when he beat Tommy Paul, and he has a big chance of beating his next opponent Marcos Giron.

Today Karen Khachanov vs Thanasi Kokkinakis will be an exciting match because the two players have something in common which is that they are often inconsistent, Karen is the favorite in this match but Thanasi will try to make this match his own.
Also the Djokovic vs Fokina match might not be easy for Novak, Fokina has a chance to stop Djokovic's move, considering he has quite good experience when he beat the 3rd seed in this tournament in Monte Carlo last year, but Novak was quite consistent when he was in the Grand Slam so that Fokina's chances of beating her opponent are not that big.

Truly, we've been spectators to a match destined for the annals of tennis history, haven't we? Both players etched an evocative portrait of grit and proficiency on the terracotta tableau of Roland Garros. Altmaier, baring his emotions, visibly sobbed tears of victory. Quite a sight to behold, wasn't it? Of course, in the grand theater of sport, one must inevitably play the victor, the other, the vanquished. Sinner, in spite of his unwavering efforts, seemed to be fighting an uphill battle as the match unfurled. Have you ever considered the physical demand of five strenuous hours of continuous, top-tier tennis on one's sinews? The thought induced a twinge of concern for the gallant young Italian.

With Zverev squaring off against Molcan next, it looks like a promising chance for Sascha. Yet, isn't the capricious nature of tennis part of its charm? Don't switch off, folks, the theatrical spectacle of tennis is far from over

Sinner have done the best, but it wasn't his day. I haven't watched the match and it could've been very interesting and increased the pressure. Three tie breaker sets and the match have went till the 5^th set. Both the young players would've been very tired. Anyhow the progress of Altmaier is applicable, other than the third set every set is a close fight 7⁷-6⁰ 6⁷-7⁹ 6-1 6⁴-7⁷ 5-7.

Cant believe Sinner lost! That was one very close match with 3 tie breaks, the spectators
got their moneys worth with that match!

Other than that upset today the top players came through, Fritz, Ruud, Zverev, Tiafoe but
Paul lost in 4 sets, dissapointing from Paul who is haveing a quiet time lately

Fognini as we have talked about him already is through to round 3 and plays Ofner next,
now Fognini should this and he is a good price at 1.73, he is definitely worth a $1 bet.

Well this is a smart bet honestly for anyone betting big or wanting to grow their balance. All secure matches and surprises arent everyday honestly in the lower rounds. We only had i think 2 surprises in the first two rounds from apsolute favorites. Tsitsipas easily won without a single problem against Baena.
