Kalinskaya is on a winning streak, she eliminated Coco Gauff today in three sets: 2:6, 6:4, 6:2.
Another surprise is Rybakina withdrawing from her match v Paolini. But if we look into it, it's not much of a surprise anymore: Elena is playing 3rd consecutive tournament. She played 2 finals in a row: one of them she won, the other one lost. But anyhow, it's a sold performance from the Kazakh she probably was too tired to play on.

Just reporting in on the ATP Doha,
Bit of an update and a bit of an upset today in the quarter final stage between Rublev and Mensik,
It was a two setter where Mensik beat the top seed. I'm not sure what odds Mensik was before
the match but he had to have been a good price.
Humbert was also up against Fils today and lost. The veteran French man is going really well here
and now plays the "Giant Killer" Mensik in the semi final tomorrow, thats a tough call to bet on IMO.
The second semi final is Popyrin v Khachanov - wont be betting on that one.
Meanwhile Alcaraz isn't the same player that we have seen up to know. I am really curious to see his performance in Indian Wells.... hoping that he will solve his physical issuess.
ah yes they are really good friends.
Alcaraz has said that ATM he recons Sinner to be the best player , it all bodes well for Jannik
and unfortunately Alcaraz is not going well ATM.

Odds today on ROLLBIT are Sinner 1.23 v 4.30 de Minaur. Is the Australian that much
of an outsider? I dont think so TBH.
...
This is brilliant for Jannik to be reaching #3 in the rankings, ok Medvedev is taking a break but
we all know Jannik deserves that position.
De Minaur is the player that normally Sinner has for the double. Italian guy know very well him and as I have reported De Minaur has never been able to won a single set against him! this is not a minor aspect in my opinion. Yes finals are differents but Sinner was in a great shape.Odds today on ROLLBIT are Sinner 1.23 v 4.30 de Minaur. Is the Australian that much

Watched Ostapenko vs Kalinskaya today. Gotta watch out for Kalinskaya more often as she looked solid in rallies as well as serve. An upset by beating an ex-Grandslam Champion, who's been having a fairly consistent season. If the draw is favourable, Kalinskaya could reach quarters or semis at least.
I thought Ostapenko would make it to the quarterfinals and have a chance to meet Swiatek in the semifinals but because as you said Kalinskaya played well and eliminated the Latvian player to meet Cocco Gauff in the quarterfinals who managed to stop Pliskova's 11-match winning streak.Swiatek doesn't seem to have experienced any problems in this tournament, unlike Rybakina who had to play three sets against Frech.
Alcaraz walkover against Moteiro makes ATP Rio no more interesting than ATP Los Cabos because there are more top players like Zverev, Tsitsipas and Ruud and all three advanced to the quarterfinals and also have a great chance to the semifinals, and Tsitsipas as the defending champion is certainly motivated to defend this title especially his current ranking is already outside the top 10.

Yes, Kalinskaya is a very talented player but she is also very prone to injuries. Every tournament she played lately where she has progressed to later stages, she had to withdraw because of an injury or some other health issue: Rome, Beijing, Miami, Wimbledon and that's just last year! I agree, she has huge potential, as long as she stays healthy!
I have bet rarely on tennis but I wanted to try a lot of games with odds of 1.10 and below in many different parlays and almost all of them were lost tickets.How come the bookies risk so big by giving these high odds to the opponents of the favorites,from what I have seen if we place single bets tickets to each one of these guys and some of them win we also win,how come such a strange situation in this type of sport.
I would say because most of the time or the vast majority of the time players, particularly
on the ATP side with odds around 1.10 win!
A lot of people betting on the ATP wont bet on players with odds lower than 1.25, others
here can correct me.
Also IMO from what I have learned if I'm doing a parlay I keep the amount of bets
to a minimum, around 3. Obviously the more you add the higher the risk and the higher
the reward.
I have found that the WTA is more unpredictable.

Andy Murray has been in a slump lately and is struggling to win matches. Murray has lost seven matches in a row and has one win in his last eleven matches. Murray is looking for a way out and now he needs to get back on track to turn his career around and he will be looking to do that in a tournament where he reached the final last year. Muller came to Qatar in good form and has won three of his last four matches. Muller is one step ahead of an out of form Murray in this match, but Murray might want to get back on track with this match. It's a critical match.
So Doha is the next tournament a lot of us will be following and yesterday Murray beat
Muller in 2 sets 6-1 and 7-5 in a tie break. He plays again today against Mensik who
I have never heard of but the key here is Murray is playing again within 24 hours and
he is the underdog at 2.2, anyone going to risk a bet on Murray at a good price?
Couple of interesting matches today, Bublik plays Fucsovics, Humbert plays Kotov and
Monfils plays Zhang.
Zhang has been playing and improving over the last few weeks and Monfils had
a tough'ish match yesterday against van de Zandschulp. Odds there are Monfils
1.65 v 2.15 Zhang, a bet on Zhang might work out!
Ok the best possible scenarios for Sinner are:
Top 2 by the end of March
Top 1 by after the Summer.

about Alex vs Sinner, honestly, I thought it would be a little more interesting, to be honest. But I also did expect Sinner to win. His future looks really bright.
But on the point of his future being bright,
did you guys see this though? 👇

I actually kind of agree with him to be honest. But at the same time, I believe if they actually do that level of hard work they will probably surpass Novak Djokovic. In my opinion, both of them are young and definitely have the capability. What do you guys think?
This looks like a gimmick to create more hype and also to make Carlitos work harder. Imo, he chose Novak as a role model and is exaggerating his performance so Carlitos feels more motivated to reach new heights.

Not an impressive performance from world number two Aryna Sabalenka as she was immediately eliminated in the second round of Dubai Tennis to Croatian player Donna Vekic.
Vekic played very impressively, especially in the second and third sets, trailing 0-2 in the second set but managed to turn things around and the third set gave Sabalenka no chance at all to get a single game and closed the deciding set 6-0.
With Sabalenka's elimination, Iga Swiatek is the favorite and maybe this will be her second title this year ubut it's still quite a long journey so anything could still happen, including Swiatek being knocked out early.

Another, perhaps not really surprising but interesting result in a Rybakina v Azarenka battle: Azarenka was ahead 6:4 and then she seemed to pick up an injury and quality of her play deteriorated and she lost the second set 2:6 and withdrew. It's a shame it could have been a great match and a spectacular deciding set.

Griekspoor and Grenier. Two players with good serves and big strokes face each other. Griekspoor had a great week in Rotterdam but was helpless against Sinner. Grenier is also in great form and has won four of his last five matches. His win against an effective player like Cressy was impressive. Griekspoor is one step ahead but Grenier is a tough opponent and can take the match to a different level.

Well there isnt a massive amount of points between the top 3, 835 separates Alcaraz and
Sinner and 1585 separates Djokovic and Sinner, very doable.
Just watched the final over at Delray Beach in the U.S between Taylor Fritz and Tommy
Paul. It was a different level of Tennis than the Sinner v de Minaur final and there was no
atmosphere at all - altogether it was a bit lack lustre.
Fritz won 6-2, 6-3.
Just watched

He is now number 3 in the world.
Do you think he can reach number 1 in the upcoming months?

Yeah, Sinner defeated de Minaur in the final 7:5, 6:4. I think that's totally possible, hopefully he won't get injured. If he stays healthy, there are several guys who can stop him: Djokovic, Alcaraz and Medvedev (he defeated each of them this year btw). But I can see Sinner is improving, his tennis is getting more and more mature every day so I'd say his chances are pretty high.
Alcaraz loss against Jarry. It was not expected as result but personally I have seen him a bit "tired" in his game playing.
Sinner will play today against De Minaur. Australian player has lost all match against him but moreover he has never won a single set in 4 matches ... Odds as usual very low (Italian bookmakers @1.22)
Thanks to the Final Sinner will reach the third place in ATP Ranking. This is a record also for all Italian tennis player
Yeah, Alcaraz losing in the semi was a huge surprise (also for bookies I guess). All in all, Carlitos doesn't look that hungry anymore, has he achieved all his life goals already? Money, fame, World #1 at such a young age... Sinner will play today against De Minaur. Australian player has lost all match against him but moreover he has never won a single set in 4 matches ... Odds as usual very low (Italian bookmakers @1.22)

Dubai WTA is live starting today. Russian tennis prodigy Mirra Andreeva unexpectedly lost to Peyton Stearns of the USA 2:6, 6:2, 1:6. For the world nr.65 it's just the second time in her career she beats a top50 player.
Another unexpected result is Ekaterina Alexandrova losing to Magdalena Frech 6:7, 3:6.
Tons of interesting matches coming up today including Paolini v Haddad Maia, Mertens v Tsurenko and Kenin v Cirstea.
Are we not all to harsh on Alcaraz? The guy is only 21 years and he is going through a period that not all things are going his way. It happens to all of us and I am pretty sure he will recover from this losses. The pressure on him and expectations are very high and that is not always easy to handle also.
Yes maybe, maybe he is training differently and trying new techniques and building
on shots or maybe there is a motivational lapse, or he will be winding up closer to
the French open, he is still a very sought after guy, former #1 and currently #2. Maybe
we shouldnt be on his case or worried for him.

Yea it was a very close match eventhough it was over in 2 sets, they were able to break
each other on a few occasions and some long rallies with super shot making.
#1 - yea maybe, it depends on what tournaments Djokovic plays and what Sinner can win,
I'm not sure how far away he is on the #2 spot, maybe we get an ATP update tomorrow on points?
