Swiatek v Sabalenka - here we go again, a Madrid Open final replay between these two!
Both are in top form and its going to be another close one and hard to pick a winner.
Over 20.5 @ 1.87 is my pick.
Jarry yesterday beat Tsitsipas in 3 sets, I watched the first set and I didnt think he would
make it but he turned the match around. Thats 2 Chileans in the semi finals. I wonder what
odds you would get for the two to reach the final?

As Trofo had mentioned above, some strange results in Rome to say the least.
So it is basically anyone's game at this point.
And with that being said I will go with both Chilean players to advance.
With what aoluain had also mentioned with Tabilo not dropping a set yet in this tournament, then him going farther is in his favor since his performance is far beyond than anyone else.
And his form thus far says it all.
Watched Sabalenka vs Ostepenko and her performance is improving since she didn't have a double fault until later in the second set. Which is an accomplishment for her.
So we just might see a number 1 vs a number 2 finals in Rome - Sabalenka vs Swiatek

I am a tennis super fan, and made lots of profits on tennis Grand Slam, but I seldom bet on other tournaments cause unexpected results happen easily, I don't wanna lose my money on them. I prefer 3 out of 5 sets matches, but not 2 out of 3 sets.
Wow I think with your perception you're a guru in tennis league and I want to explore more on this too and see the difference probably I can get amazing results and fun.
Iadide football game I want to put in more effort on another sport and I think tennis is the one I pick interest on and I'm sure gonna give it a try.
FFS - bringing up a post from "Page 1" from a member who hasnt been active since 2016
Some strange results in Rome this week. Tabilo having the best week of his tennis career. Managed to get him against Khachanov but I sort of expected him to lose today. WTA side easier to predict this time around. Got some nice money on Sabalenka and Collins today.
Yes Tabilo through to the semi finals and plays Zverev next, the guy hasnt dropped a set either.
Another stat is that he isnt the only Chilean in the semi's either, Jarry plays Tsitsipas today.
Both Chileans are underdogs but still strong contenders particularly Tabilo, over 21.5 @ 1.74
might be an ok bet on him.
Yea the tournament becomes a little more predictable when the top guys are not playing or
eliminated. Its not necessarily a bad thing though IMO.
Collins v Sabalenka, the odds are close enough to suggest another over bet 21.5 @ 1.8

Now Alejandro Tabilo who was the player who took out Novak Djokovic just might be taking out another one of those pros on tour Karen Khachanov, as he just took the first set.
The young Chilean player is looking like the surprise hopeful in this tournament in Rome.
That was a very close 2 set battle, Tabilo took the win in 2 tie breaks! He is a quarterThe young Chilean player is looking like the surprise hopeful in this tournament in Rome.
finalist now and takes on Zhang today. The odds on this one are Tabilo 1.59 - 2.34 Zhang.
I wasnt expecting Paul to beat Medvedev yesterday, Medvedev lost easily to Paul
6-1, 6-4. Paul plays Hurkacz next, hard to know which way this goes but its more than
likely going to be a 3 match encounter, Over 22.5 maybe @ 1.67
Thus having both Chileans in the quarter finals is quite the achievement where Nadal and Novak were playing.
So these can be the new age of the sport if they can go farther into the tournament.
Roland Garros is just around the corner too so keep an eye on these two going into that tournament too.

Bye bye Dominic Thiem: he announced that this ATP tour 2024 will be the last of his career. He is 30 years old now and well, he earned around $30 million in prize money and he feels it is the right decision.
He has played some amazing games I think, but his trend was pretty much only negative in the last few years. Unbelievable that his last win on the ATP tour was this amazing match against Zverev in the US Open final. Best ranking ever was 3rd and he can say he won a Grand Slam. Sounds like a successful career to me. Can't compare everyone to Djokovic, Nadal and Federer.
Thats a real shame to hear. To retire during this tour and at such a young age but I guess he saw his performance on the court not improving as it hasn't the past couple of years from what I remember.He has played some amazing games I think, but his trend was pretty much only negative in the last few years.

Those names are some of the best to ever play the game.
Djokovic and Nadal both left this tournament in Italy early unfortunately.

I suppose we could take it as an excuse for a poor performance IDK, it surely had to
havs had an affect though to some degree.
Its hard to know what way this tournament is going to go without Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic
and Ruud. We still have Tsitsipas, Rune, Zverev, Dimitrov and Medvedev.
In the WTA side I find it interesting that Osaka has made it to the round of 16, she is out now
but it seems that every tournament now she is getting better.

I don't really understand that this incident was the cause of Djokovic's defeat, I just saw that he performed very badly in that match, two of his games were broken in the first set by the Chilean player, and the second set of the match ended in defeat due to a double fault, it was clear that it was a very bad performance.
I think he will soon return with his old coach Marian Vadja to better prepare for Roland Garros, because that is also what many people are talking about after he split with Goran Ivanisevic, and interestingly if Djokovic doesn't return to his best and fails to reach the RG final then Jannik Sinner will be the world number one, and could be this will be a bad year for Djokovic as he fails to defend his two GS titles and loses his position as number one.

Really shocking that he lost so heavily against a really solid opponent that shouldnt win against Djokovic. This is bad for him ahead or RG and will need to be more serious and change his gamestyle. Also i dont think he was off due to head injury because honestly that wasnt a serious hit to the head.
Yeah, I agree that hit wasn't serious enough. And frankly I didn't see a metal bottle there. I suspect, Djokovic being an asshole in real life, acted just to show the security guys didn't do a great job to protect him (partly true). And later he showed up with a bicycle helmet on his head to meet the fans! It was a joke but kind of an asshole joke, typical for Nole. 
Djokovic is out guys! he was beaten earlier by Tabilo 2-6 and 3-6.
He was suffering after that incident with the water bottle hitting his head, his coordination
was off so it affected him.
I didnt realise it when I heard it first but that was a metal water bottle so it would do more
damage than a plastic one.
Also Nadal is out, Hurkacz beat him and now Nadal is wondering whether to play RG or not.

I think its the right decision for Dominic. The game has moved on, the younger players
sre hard to beat and older players find it difficult to get far in tournaments after coming
back from injuries. Its best I think to retire on a positive vibe i.e whole still playing, similar
to what Rafa is doing, last week he bade the Madrid tournament farewell as it was his last.
I fully agree and he was talking about a wrist injury as far as I remember and that he has plans already for the future. There is no point in wrecking your body and then throw the towel when it is too late. I wanted to say that I didn't understand Murray but I do understand him, because if you are a professional sports man and dedicated your whole life to it because you loved it, it's to stay "I am going to stop here". But Murray, a successful player and multimillionaire who has many years to go in life, gets all these surgeries and still wants to go. He has a hip implant and I think no matter how hard you try, but tennis such a taxing sport. How in the world would he compete with the Sinner and Alcaraz guys?
That's why I think Thiem got the timing right. Still fresh, rich and has plans.
Murray is an anomaly, he like Thiem is rich, has his own clothing business, he doesnt
need to be playing and wont be beating any top 10 players.
Gasquet is another player in the same scenario, he should also retire after this season
and Fils also is approaching that time although his performances are still decent.
Yes but this is purely talking about age. If we talk about age, Federer should have stopped earlier, Nadal should have stopped earlier. I think there are special circumstances that require individual approaches. Federer was competing for more GS titles and won titles at the age of 37 and 38. He also had a certain responsibility towards the sport as a whole and he understood that. Nadal is the same.
Murray has a different story. He has done a lot for the sport and he is a GS winner, there are no unfulfilled dreams. And he is rich of course. Running around with a hip implant, I am not sure that is the right decision when in fact he reached his last semifinal in a GS in 2017. Look at Wikipedia what this guy is doing. He keeps going and could not get past the 3rd round in a GS for 7 years now. I find that weird. I can't imagine he is playing without pain.
Djokovic might be getting back in shape. Nadal got destroyed, but he is going there and at least doing it for the fans. He wants to win, but I think he is realizing that it is ok his time has come, but he didn't want to say goodbye in an Instagram post. Good decision.
-snip-
Here I have to point out that WTA players can't choose which Masters series tournaments to play and which ones to skip. All Masters tournaments are mandatory and many star players have been commenting on this topic recently mostly saying that quality of tennis drops significantly because of the tight schedules and several long Masters tournaments in a row.
Djokovic experienced a strange incident, but he has stated that he is fine and tomorrow he will play against Tabilo.
First upset was Casper Ruud losing to Miomir Kecmanovic, Kecmanovic didn't get a single game in the first set so I thought this would be an easy win for Ruud but he managed to comeback to move on to the next round.
The show in Roma must go on... but accident for Djokovic after the match tonight was something unexpected....

He get injured by a "canteen" that by mistake was lost by a fan. well it seems he lost blood and have also nausea due the accident...
However strong performance as usual even against of player that was pretty far from his tennis level.

I dont know what is wrong with people how can you throw stuff at a player dosent matter who it is. Especially something that can hurt him,this guy who threw that should be banned permanetly from ever coming to a tennis match. On the other hand amazing start for Djokovic and shows that he is in good form.
Looking at the video from bitbollo I'm taking it that the guy in the green jacket was
the offender and that it was a mistake, a freak accident but costly to Djokovic,
it unfortunate but strangely IMO it could only happen to Djokovic.
