Boom Raducanu out. And Norrie might be the next big scalp today... 1:1 and Lestienne, whom I'd never heard of (I know, I know, I don't pay much attention) looks the much better player, made a couple of errors in first and now almost flawless, keeps breaking Norrie.

Not actually a surprise, I was talking against Nadal even before AO started. Granted even more in some other topics related to Sportsbet specials. This was most likely scenario from the start of the tournament. Not sure exactly when injury happened but it was much sooner than 3rd set, he was already injured in second set for sure, had big problems with movements and tried to shorten the points as much as possible.

Yeah I remember the ridiculousness of him being posted as top seed and odds at one point were 7/1... as if his injury and age were something he could keep at the back of the pocket.

Read about the injury, it was during 2nd set. Still think it was his first set that did it all because he tried to chase... apparently opponent was still nervous.

Even if Rafa won, no way he continued.

Big news - Nadal has been beaten by McDonald in straight sets. Nadal suffered an injury in
the third set and went off court for a medical timeout but returned to complete the match.

Yeah, I think his body is showing signs of failing this year, and we have heard him about this numerous times because the start of the tournament that he is not 100% etc, so in the second round it just shows, lost to McDonald in straight sets. And if ever he get pass him here, for sure it will be a difficult path for him and most likely he will lost along the way

Nadal got get pain in his hip in the second set. Of course he can not do anything about that. Obviously the pain was too much that he could no longer move properly.
But I do not understand why he did not stop the match then. So he had a higher risk of doing more damage. But as the defending champion he certainly hope that it still goes a bit or that the opponent makes mistakes. But that was not the case.

Griekspoor vs van de Zandschulp right now, this is going to be an interesting match, I haven't put my bet yet, perhaps after the first set, so let's see how it goes, but I'm seeing that this could go full 5 sets.

Sinner continues with impressive performances - Etcheverry is not a great player but he's tall and a decent server - and yet he managed to win less than 60% of games on his serve.
He's got all the stars aligned for his first GS title.

let's hope that Sinner is able to "hold up" even on a physical level!
he has suffered from many injuries during this year, some even trivial such as vesicles  on his feet which however forced him to retire Sad

I was speaking about betting against Nadal the whole time, got home late and was really tired and failed to check the odds.
Of course, the first thing I see after waking up is him losing in straight sets against McDonald.

Ruud had a tough one against Machac? and dropped a set,
I watched this one and it was actually a very good performance by Machac. If he was playing any player outside top 10 he would have won probably. Ruud is actually one of my favorites now for AO. Never liked him much but you gotta give him consistency, he very rarely disappoints and doesn't give much via unforced errors. This year that could be enough to come far in the draw. Did not check later stages so I don't know when he gets Djoković but nobody else will be a big favorite to win against Ruud.

Yes he is consistent and can remain mentally focussed and level headed, some people
would probably say boring. I would agree now himself and Medvedev are the ones posing
a threat to Djokovic.

The match between Felix Auger Aliassime and Alex Molcan have reached the 5th set in the second round. It looked like an easy win for Felix Auger Aliassime as he won the first two sets. Alex Molcan the No.1 Slovak Player made a come back winning the third and fourth sets. It is the fifth set that decides the winner of the match. Felix Auger Aliassime leads the fifth set 2-1, one by one expected players are making their progress into the further rounds.

Good games from Mackenzie so far, have won the first set and lead the second set.
Nadal has an injury that needs treatment, Nadal's injury looks serious and it will be a disappointment for his fans if he really has to retire due to injury, sometimes medical timeouts make the flow of the game change.

Yeah, why not though? maybe sport bookies saw that Diego is very inconsistent with this huge event that sometimes he exited early. But against a unknown player, perhaps Diego can still pull it through.

He is 2.38 underdog at Stake, (seems to be the ML odds are not yet listed on Sportsbet though). So that is a good bet in my opinion and best of luck.

I'll just pass on today's betting, just enjoying live games that I can watch today. Djokovic vs Carballes Baena playing.


I watched Diego today and he was moving very well and was hitting hard. I think he'll beat JJ.

Yeah, I didn't bet much today. Nothing exciting on.

If you want to make some easy money I suggest putting a large bet on Novak to win the trophy.

It won't be paying much but it is as certain a bet as you'll find.



Yea myself and buwaytress have already been through that idea about betting on Djokovic.
Better off the bet match by match and pounce on the odds offered if he goes a set or two
down early on.

Guys, he is 1.77 to win outright - are they not good odds before the tournament even
kicks off?

That's the whole point... you don't even get your stake back as winnings IF he wins the final. Why not go for him now at handicap or live bet after going a set or two down. Martingale that way if you want, you'll end up with more money if you do that every round till the final.

One slip and you lose everything, just not worth it (to me).


Some interesting results today, Djokovic breezed through his 3 sets, Murray got the job
done against Berrettini, Ruud had a tough one against Machac? and dropped a set,
Rune was efficient with his 3 setter and Zverev took 5 sets to win.

I haven't started betting on this yet, I want to see who is performing well

I feel like a lot of people have not even heard the name, Diego Schwartzman. And are you always thinking it is a good idea for everyone to hold on to their money in matches like this? Because in my opinion, Diego Schwartzman versus JJ can go either way. But I will still say that in my personal opinion, Diego Schwartzman does feel like he will be able to play better against JJ.

I also agree that there is a big chance for Novak Djokovic to actually win the trophy. But at the same time, it is not like he does not have any competition as well.

I like JJ but I think Diego is a bad match up for him.

Regarding Novak, who can you seriously see beating him? Zverev always gives him trouble but hasn't been the same since fracturing his leg at Rolland Garros last year. Alcaraz pulled out with injury, Nadal and Medvedev aren't in good form.

The only threat I see is Tsitsipas.

I hope this means that Murray can finally play without pain. Berrettini is a good player, you cannot win a 5-setter against him if you're physically struggling.
It is not so much pain these days, it is physical limitations due to artificial hip. Medicine simply hasn't progress enough to make perfect transplant and Murray said it himself there are some sorts of movements he is just not able to do anymore. That made him reinvent some strokes which is never easy. It is also a big blow on mental state when things aren't going his way, very easy to become negative in situations like that.

Anyway, I just watched 5th set and had a feeling Murray will take it if Berettini serve just drops a little, which happened beginning of match tie break and was enough for Murray to take advantage.

this really seems to be true for Novak
I don't think there is a remote chance for anyone to even make it interesting against him, and winning is hardly possible

looking at Zverev, Rublev today final is almost guaranteed from this part of the draw, and only Medvedev played great tennis in first round, but I don't see him going far

Am I the only one who thinks Diego Schwartzman being an underdog to JJ Wolf tomorrow is ridiculous?

I'm going to put a few thousand on Diego for sure.

The markets are that way because of his injury against Brooksby last week.

I think the oddsmakers got this one wrong ans Diego will win.
It does feel like something's off. I wasn't aware of the injury but I'll watch the highlights of his match today. Wolf is a hard courter while Diego is a mix, great at clay but generally good on hard too but his strength is mobility. If he's actually injured, he will have a hard time, especially if the match goes into 5 sets.

Alexander Zverev has just celebrated his comeback in the so-called Happy Slam against Juan Pablo Varillas from Peru. But it was not an easy match for him. He had to play the whole 5 sets. He won sets 2, 3 and 5. But for him it was the first big test since the French Open and he himself said that he does not have high hopes. He is just happy to be able to play again.
