I don't think that Cobolli could be really able to win against Djokovic. Of course, physical condition of Serbian players must be taken into account.
But ... even if the italian player is actually doing well, Djoko should be much stronger for him.
Funny fact: Cobolli has won the last match against Wrawinka due a mistake Roll Eyes by referee

Flavio Cobolli, who has risen to world number 30 and has been making a name for himself lately, will face one of the toughest tests in tennis against Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, who beat Alex Michelsen in two tie breaks in his first match, looked a bit tired in that match but still managed to win. Cobolli is a different player, but in the current conditions, he might give his legendary opponent some trouble.

Tallon Griekspoor, who gave Jordan Thompson no chance in the second round, will play former Shanghai Masters finalist Sascha Zverev. Sascha, who easily beat Mattia Belluci, is undoubtedly one of the title contenders here. Moreover, he will carry the confidence of having beaten Griekspoor twice this year. Griekspoor is a solid player but I think Sascha will be able to dominate him in every department.

Upset Alert over at the Shanghai Masters.
Sinner has lost his first set against Etcheverry in a tie break. The Argentine is playing
some great tennis to keep just slightly ahead of Sinner. The odds here ATM are
1.36 - 3.20. Sinner to win the second set 1.16. The odds for a straight win for the
world no.1 are very good!
Etcheverry surprised me in the first set though I never thought for a second that Sinner was going to lose despite his ongoing doping case. The dude is still number one for a reason and I feel like only Alcaraz stands in his way for the title.

Also, I am excited for Federer's visit towards the end of this tournament since we all know how popular he is in China.

Yea Etcheverry was quite good in the first set but as we have seen so many times
with the lesser ranked players, they find it difficult to maintain the momentum for
the following sets. Sinner won the second and third, 6-4 and 6-2. Just as I was
saying the odds on the number 1 were great for the win @ 1.36!

Alcaraz also won today in straight sets and it looks like they are on the same side
of the draw so they will meet before the final.

That was an epic final between Sinner and Alcaraz, It was always going to be close
and Sinner player better than I thought he would but Alcaraz took the title.



Its on to the Shanghai Masters now with the rounds of 128 playing out.
The only upset I can see is Cilic losing out to Casaux in 2 sets. He won the
Hangzhou Open a couple of weeks ago and since then he has not been
that great.

Sinner won his final here in Shanghai without too much difficulty.
Interesting match by the Chinese opponent BU.
It seems that he has been playing in the major ATP tournaments for practically only one year and has already achieved this result. Wow really not bad.
now final Sinner vs Alcaraz.
Some interesting data = last two matches have been won by the Spanish...

World number one and defending Beijing champion Jannik Sinner struggled in the first two rounds, but made it comfortably through the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the final again. Finally, he beat young Bu Yunchaokete in two sets. Sinner, who has had a tough time off the court, will face the biggest rival of his generation in the cup match. Carlos Alcaraz, who reached this stage without losing a set, also showed his skills against Daniil Medvedev. Looking at the available images and arrival routes, Alcaraz seems to be one step ahead. 6-4 in all his matches, he also has a numerical advantage of 2-0 this season. However, Sinner loves this court and his 2024 record is at least as good as Alcaraz. The final set could decide the winner in this match.

Yea its a dream final between the two top seeded players. I watched some of both
semi finals, Alcaraz v Medvedev - Very strong 2 set win by Alcaraz. Sinner v Bu - Sinner
had a slightly tougher match and just getting the job done with a second set tie break win.

Judging both players on their semi finals, I think Alcaraz will win the title.



On the womens side Osaka was going very well but gave Gauff a walkover in
the round of 16.



Over at the Japan Open it was an all French final between Fils and Humbert,
Fils winning that one.

Hey Bitbollo it is a strange one, I'll throw out another strange one...all those players,
Tiafoe Fritz, Ruud and Tsitsipas all played the Laver Cup last week! The only one
who played the Laver Cup and is in Japan still playing is Shelton and he had a great
performance at the Laver Cup!

Staying on the Laver cup theme, over at the China Open all the europeans are still
playing, Alcaraz, Medvedev, Dimitrov and Cobolli. Sinner also going strong.

In Japan today there was a great loss today of "big players" ... some of these results was somewhat really curious and unexpected.
At least to me all these defeats sound really strange but as already said, at this level there is a strong competition and everyone has a chance...
Here a short list of some of these matches:
Aliassime vs Nishioka
Tiafoe vs Nakashima
Fritz vs Fils
Ruud vs Thompson
Tsitsipas vs Michelsen

What do you think guys?

2022 Tokyo champion Taylor Fritz returns to his favorite court shortly after the US Open final, the biggest success of his career. Arthur Fils, on the other hand, is looking for good performances in the fall to close out a strong season. World No. 7 Fritz is one of the favorites for the match and the trophy, but he has a tough opponent in the first round. Arthur Fils, facing him for the first time, might ask him some questions.

We have Frances Tiafoe, who has been in great form since the US Open. But the same can be said for her opponent Brandon Nakashima. who is also enjoying the highest ranking of his career. However, Nakashima has not been successful against Tiafoe in their past five matches. This will also have an impact on how this matchup goes. I think Tiafoe is one step ahead.

You made an error, HER pertains to women!

Anyway Tiafoe against the odds has lost his match with Nakashima, and lost that in 2 sets, thats not
great from Tiafoe, he is match fit, playing the Laver cup last week.

Fritz is also in action, its gone to the 3rd set, I would be surprised if Fritz loses this but I wouldnt bet
on the outcome at this stage.

I am also following the match between Sinner and Jarry in the China Open, its in the second set,
Sinner is a set behind and looking like he will win the second. I would e very surprised if he loses this,
He has points to defend being the reigning champion.

The women are also in action in China and I will be following Osaka who plays Putinseva tomorrow,
not a lucky draw!

Day 1 of the Laver Cup is coming to a close with a match tie break in the doubles.
Team Europe lead 2-1 ATM.

I had a straight bet on Dimitrov to beat Tabilo in the last singles match which he did,
Also Tsitsipas won the second match against Kokkinakis but Ruud lost the opener
against Cerundolo. Ruud is not in great playing form recently.

I think Team World have the stronger team but It doesnt mean much IMO
when a doubles match can have a big bearing on the days outcome.


EDIT


After the doubles match its Team World 2 - 2 Ream Europe!

Its also true about the saying "money talks" and it talks regardless of real world
issues a human rights issues.

Davis cup - is anyone watching, following or betting on this? Does anyone else find
it unbelievable to follow or even get up to date results?

Laver cup starts tomorrow, Sinner or Djokovic arent playing for Team Europe but
its still a stronger team IMO

Isn't the official website, available here: https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/archive/davis-cup-finals-group-stage/8097/2024/country-results usually updated fast enough?

Do you mean it is not updated fast enough?

I've seen the Davis Cup in multiple betting sites as well.

Ah I was checking on https://www.daviscup.com and I dont think the site is being updated
quick enough. This tournament seems to be really drawn out, we are still not even at the
semi final stage.

Quarter finales take place tomorrow to the 21st. Italy, Canada, USA and Spain are already there,
Argentina, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands are fighting to see who they play in the quarter finals.
When that is I dont know? its so annoying.

I normally get my updates and daily schedule from google results, very handy actually.

as the ancient Romans said "pecunia non olet" (money doesn't stink/smell bad).
It is clear that there are big financial deals behind these initiatives and it is really difficult if not impossible to say "no" for the players.

...

it's clear that they are pushing in this direction.
Influennce with billions football has not brought great results... with this event, they have practically already won Roll Eyes in any case...

6 Millions of dollars for the winner and 1.5 millions just for join the tournament.
These are the real figures in Riad for the "Six king Slam".
The players involved are Sinner, Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
Wow Roll Eyes It will be interesting to see (for gambling) if this tournament will have an impact on future competitions...

I dont know what to think of this . . . It seems very obnoxious in terms of the money involved.

Looks like Saudi Arabia has to and is willing to put up massive money to attract top athletes.
And lets face it  the players are only going for the guaranteed top plunder while setting aside
the face that Saudi Arabia has torrid human rights issues.

So lets look at who will be there:
Djokovic, Nadal, Sinner, Alcaraz, Medvedev . . . and Rune?

Also didnt Andy Murray hit out at some of the players complaining of the long busy schedule
and then go playing exhibition events . . .

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1870739/Andy-Murray-Novak-Djokovic-Rafael-Nadal-Saudi-exhibition
Money is doing his magic and things are taking huge changes Saudi Arab after spending huge funds in soccer now entering into another sport which is Tennis, and they are going to host exhibition matches which will bring top six players for the worth of millions of USD prize even there are serious criticism about their polices and trying to host WTA events as well but still things are going as they are planning for last few years.

While we are having serious debate about long busy schedule, but still money is important for them, and they can do anything for this while if we have this event which is carrying out huge money most chances we will have no complaints about work load or another else from player Saudi Arab influence is surely working, and they are stealing things with this for having more important events in coming years.
