And that would have won the bet, Djokovic win the match 6-3 and 6-4.
It is by far the best bet to take when thinking someone would have close match. +5.5 handicap is the only bet that guarantees you win if favorite does not make more than 2 breaks. All other versions or +4.5 handicap have ways of being annoyingly close but not good enough in the end. You just know you are loosing +4.5 handicap when favorite serves first. I like to eliminate stuff like that from my betting outcome even if it means lower base odds.

So it will be Djokovic vs Shapovalov, anyone looking at the over 20.5 here at still a decent odds for 1.80?
I'm thinking that this might go over with this score as Djokovic has not been found his rhythm, he needed to go this his bag of tricks in order to survived that game because we think it was over for him, 3-5 with Quentin Halys, serving, no one thought that he will make that huge comeback.

20.5 should be good, I do not see Djokovic pushing a lot, just like today, he make it when needed, and play as on trainings
and it is good for self-confidence, winning two tie-breaks, instead of winning comfortable 6:2 or something, where you hardly have a chance to stretch, and he is confident that when needed, he will stretch enough to pick-up a win in the end
it all end-up on Shapovalov, if he serves good, probably at least one set going to tie-breaks again
Ok, the match hasn't started yet, and there was some movement from yesterday's initial odds.
So I did put a decent bet again before the game, over 21.5 at 1.88.
Yeah, let's see how Dennis is going to play, he should try to push Djokovic here in the first and see how Novak will react just like in this match against Quentin Halys.
It is still way to early to make serious bets on tennis and I agree that the best way is to try and play against favorites. If I had to take a bet on this match, it would be Shapovalov +5.5 @1.6
And that would have won the bet, Djokovic win the match 6-3 and 6-4. We have a very
interesting semi final tomorrow, Djokovic v Medvedev - that's going to be a close one
and I have no idea what way that will go, neither player has dropped a set so far.
TBH I'll probably skip betting on that.
The other semi final is Korda v Nishioka, again Korda has not dropped a set either, I fancy
a win for him.
The issue of vaccination against Covid-19 is catching up with Djokovic again. He is allowed to participate in the Australian Open because the new government lifted the ban for 3 years. However, there are still some countries that require a vaccination for the entry. Here it is the USA. The vaccination requirement has been extended until at least 10 April. During this time there are two tournaments in March. Indian Wells and Miami. So it will probably be the case that he will not play there.

Djokovic is again complaining that he has to miss a number of tournaments. This time it is not about Australia, but about America. The masters are scheduled in a few weeks / months, but America has a strict entry ban due to the increased number of corona infections during this time. And Djokovic is not vaccinated, and also refuses to be vaccinated. I don't think he gets much support from his stubborn attitude. It has been proven that a vaccine only makes you better and stronger, so a kind of immunity has also been built up. People like Djokovic are ruining it all over the sports world. People like that should be role models. Good news is that he can play at the Australian open that will start soon.
Đoković really struggled against Halys - a mediocre player with a terrible 2022 record. I planned to go for handicaps agaisnt Đoković throughout this year's AO, games like these make me feel better about these bets.
I will follow how Đoković is performing in the tournaments leading to AO, I still think he will go far there but I expect him to struggle a bit more than what we were used to so far.

@cryptofrka while he did struggle but in the end he won, and that’s what the difference is between him and the other player’s that he just won’t quit and his winning mentality is the best when compared to the current generation of tennis player’s.
Also I would yet advise gamblers to wager on him in case anyone is having second thoughts, because he’s bound to win many tournaments this year and I further believe that it’s only a matter of a year or two before he too retires hence he’ll try and win maximum tournament’s before calling it quits thus wagering on him makes sense to me.

Djokovic will win this for sure. But if Shapovalov dosent serve well i think it will be a straight set win for Djokovic. I think it might even go under games in this match. Maybe 6-3 6-2 for Djokovic,he looks really good so far in the tournament

Back to his match with Halys, I had a -6.5 bet on him but it seemed it was a tough match for
him, I'm a bit shocked with the result. So the upcoming quarter final match against Shapo,
I'm just taking the crap ML odds of 1.14 but doubling my usual stake. I am thinking of taking
him @1.6 for an outright win too!
I got click baited today with the headline "Ash Barty returns to AO" or something to that effect
and yes she is returning . . . to mentor the younger Australian players.

At the Adelaide tournament, Sinner, Djokovic and Medvedev made it into the next
round. Djokovic plays Halys next.
I took a bet on Djokovic against Lestienne, -6 @ 1.67 and luckily he won 6-3, 6-2. The next
match against Halys could be a very similar result.

Oh, I was not aware of this tournament. I thought it was connected to the United Cup. So that the games take place in different places in Australia. But it is a completely independent tournament. I do not understand why they cannot agree on one tournament at a time in a country?
Rublev and Rune also played in this tournament in Adelaide. But both were surprisingly eliminated in the first round.
And training will only benefit a player so much but it's actual competitive game time
which offers players so much more in feedback, skills, tactics and brain training.
I couldn't imagine any player rocking up to play the AO straight from the training court
and having played the last competitive match 2 months prior.
That is usual stuff when Grand Slams are played. There is 128 players in Grand Slam main draw and I believe another 64 or something like that in qualifications. All those players would like to get match feel before the main tournament starts and Australia is so far away that all tournaments have to be there, nobody takes that long flights just before the matches.
Yep you are right in that but it is also a bit depends where they are flying from. For most players from Europe, the timezone is a lot earlier ( +9 or more) and that is really difficult to adapt to and takes some days. Flying "back" in time is easier for the body to get used to (at least that is how I experience it).

Does anyone remember the great tennis star - Martina Navratilova - she has announced she has cancer and she is going to battle the cancer with all she has. . she has also battled breast cancer in 2010. ...won 59 grand slam titles across single double and mix double
That is really sad. Cancer is an ulcer of our humanity and I hope it will be cured.Martina Navratilova and the following generation around Steffi Graf and Boris Becker have shaped a whole generation. I still remember the final in the French Open in 1987 when Steffi Graf beat Martina Navratilova at the age of 17.
This is truly fortunate news I believe that she was diagnosed at a quite early age of her cancer. I think the treatment of the proper kind is going to be able to cure her. But the problem is, she’s going to face a lot of difficulties going forward. After all, it is cancer. And it is going to leave a mark on her body. And another thing is it will probably take a little time to cure, but I believe it is still a very early stage of cancer. So it is curable by proper treatment.

Medvedev will play against Sonego tomorrow he is clearly far superior in this match @1.09 for him. Also low odds @1.01 for Djokovic in his first match in Australia. This 2023 opening tournament is good for Djokovic as preparation for the Australian Open for sure he is targeting a champion to add to his collection of GS titles.

Baustista Agut vs Rublev now, I'm taking Rublev at ML 1.53 + Shapovalov ML at 1.53 for a 2.29 odd parlay.
