What a disgusting day! First, Petkovic lost the first set 6-0, then at the beginning of the second set she completely withdrew from the competition. After that Jiri Lehecka was able to take his game (4th in the first set) from score 0-40. And more unexpectedly Rublev lost with a score of 2-0. full day of losses
Hard fought match, but Thiem pull through with a big win against Delbonis. It was close in the first set, and I thought that Thiem might lose in the tie-break. But when he won at the score of 8-6, I knew that he can overcome Delbonis easy on the 2nd set and that's what he did, at 6-3.
Let's see the Gasquet vs #2 Berrettini later, maybe this will go on 3 sets and Gasquet might pull another surprised run again.

A nice game developing between Carreno-Busta and Alex Molcan. Alex taking the lead now 5-2 in the first set, and If I'm not mistaken, Carreno-Busta was the favorite as far as betting goes.
Pablo Carreno lost the first set, come back strong in the second with a 6-1 win, but eventually falter on the third in the tie break.
Haven't bet on this tournament yet as I'm looking at the Thiem vs Delbonis at the Switzerland tournament. I wanted to see if Thiem has recovered already. I might do a multi betting with him at handicap and on the Rudd vs Lehecka match.
Seem that games in the Swiss Open has been suspended because of rain. So majority of the games has been reset in the next 12 hours. I guess you have to wait for your bet.
Regarding my bet early, it was a disaster as the first of my parlay was lost already, LOL.

Did anyone came across this picture spread around the social media platforms. An 8 year old girl watching the training session of Nadal. This was taken during the year 2006. Can anyone make a guess who is that little girl. Concerned person have confirmed the picture and felt happy seeing it.

Naomi Osaka !?

Also let’s say that hypothetically he applied for a change of citizenship which country would accept it?, because currently no country would like to associate with Russians, hence I feel that he would have had a hard time finding a county that’s willing to accept his request.

Austria would accept, his mother is born there, and he was raised by his grandmother, which is Austrian, and basically raised in Austria
would not say that this is definite, but as per Serbian papers, he has enough eliglibility to apply for Austrian citizenship, and that was the direction he is pointing in, when talked that he will change citizenship
not sure about that, dough, but could happen in the future
There you go, there are lots of Russians who dont agree with what their country is doing
in Ukraine, they should not be punished just for being Russian. Rublev is lucky to have
a strong connection with Austria, I would say he will be accepted, Which country wouldnt
want to have a top athlete representing them even though Tennis for the most part is an individual sport.

@Trofo why would the Ukraine player’s even consider this, and to be honest it’s a blatant PR attempt to get some sympathy because deep down even he knew that this idea would never work out.

For the first part, I am also thinking no Ukrainian player would agree to that.Regarding nationality, I am not sure for his particular case but majority of top tennis players have Monaco, or some similar tax paradise, stated as their address. Most countries award nationality if individual lives there 5 years or more. I sort of assumed he has some option like that or some other connection like one of his parents is from some other country. Then he just has to apply and that is it.
But what if the tournaments knows that they just change their nationality just to be able to play? Will tey allow it or not? because it seems that this players are exploiting the loophole and for sure once the war is over, they could just go back to their old nationality.

Did you guys see Rublev's press conference? Mainly he talked about possibility to change nationality so he can play all tournaments. He got hit hard with ban at Wimbledon and he says if some other tournaments go that route he will have to consider changing nationality.
Furthermore he said that russian players tried everything to lift the ban. There was one interesting idea that they take ukranian players as double partners but nothing worked in the end. Really courius if those ukrainian players thought this was good idea. Sort of feels like they would have got some bad press at home if it came to fruition.

did not heard about it, but interesting story, have to say, did he mentioned Medvedev as well (somehow I do think the have difference stance towards on-going situation)
idea to play with Ukranian partner in doubles looks good just on the paper, it is easy to manipulate it within mass media, in a way you want
having to change nationality is a radical step for him, but he probably wants to play and he is not interested in supporting politicians

I actually like Rublev, he is a good guy, he is very passionate about his Tennis
and seems laid back and fun off court. I didnt hear his press conference and I dont doubt
that they tried everything to have the ban lifted. They indeed probably fear for future bans
which will affect their livelihood.
That was a great idea to play with Ukranian partners in the doubles, will we ever know if
those partners would be willing to do it though?
Just thinking off the top of my head, I suspect the Ukranian players are very passionate
about the wrong that is happening in their country more so than how passionate the Russian
players feel, generally speaking. I'm not sure if those feelings and perceptions would be a
factor for the Ukranians NOT to play with Russian partners, IDK

I put a 4 game parlay to have some fun watching the games at ATP Hamburg, Germany Men Singles later evening my time.
It's Rublev + Carreno-Busta + Griekspoor + Fokina = 3.44
It's not a big bet, just enough for me to go through the match and hopefully not able to sleep watching, LOL.

Does anyone else remember John McEnroe? He was also very emotional. I sometimes try to compare him with Kyrgios. But I found McEnroe more likeable back then. He did not go below the belt very often but still had style. But Kyrgios gets personal very quickly. If he becomes more likeable in that area then he also gets different respect from his opponents.
Of course, who wouldn't forget John McEnroe, he is also emotional in every match, has an outburst but the fans love him. And one thing about John is that he can back his talk, become member 1, won multiple titles in Open era and on the greats.
As opposed to Nick who just wasted that talent, very inconsistent, attack the fans and even outside the court, he acts and said something that he shouldn't (like sleeping with a fan)., so he is a villain in the eyes of the players and tennis fans.
The odds are suggesting its going to be close, maybe a handicap bet on Basilashvilli might
be a consideration +4.5 @ 1.3 on Rollbit.
Basilashvilli this year has dissapointed, he didnt carry his in form momentum into 2022 he hasnt
really featured anywhere IMO. So yea hard to bet on that one.
Basilashvili is so inconsistent, and I noticed a big drop in Karatsev's performance lately, this one is tough to bet on, I would personally avoid it, however in the same tournament Carreno Busta will be playing against the Italian Nardi, I think it's better to bet on carreno busta to win in straight sets, the odds are not bad @1.57be a consideration +4.5 @ 1.3 on Rollbit.

That was pretty clear in the second set. While Basilashvili only had to give up a serve in the first set he did not win a game in the second. Maybe it was too hot or he did not want to win. Karatsev will play tomorrow against Galán. Karatsev should win that game.
Yea he has gone "off the boil", I didnt put a bet on, too unpredictable.
I did put a -4.5 handicap bet on Alcaraz which I didnt win because the last set ended in
a tie break win for Alcaraz.
Someone else to keep an eye on is Cerundolo, he won today, hopefully he can carry
his form from his tournament win at the Swedish Open!

Kyrgios needs to go long, he had got an opportunity through the injury of Nadal. Reaching the grand slam final by a player positioned at the 45th rank is really a big thing. If he could continue his performance in the similar way, surely he can make big wins in the future tournaments. In most of the matches to thrill the audience Djokovic used to give chance for the opponent to win the first set and come back with a win.
There is no doubt Kyrgios is one of the best talent from Australian current tennis generation but sadly due to his personal issues and behaviour he is facing many times fines and other penalties which is having bad impact on his career, but one thing is sure still he can do much better than he is doing because he is a good player and have talent to beat any big player at any forum.With Current situation which is having some setbacks for many tennis players with this he can develop himself and can go through at some better spot because now in coming years still we have few bans and restriction's for many players at different countries with this all there is good time for him to give his best and have some better honour in this game.

He did not go below the belt very often but still had style. But Kyrgios gets personal very quickly. If he becomes more likeable in that area then he also gets different respect from his opponents.
The final match did not go to the fifth set, but as I predicted, Djokovic opened late and lost the first set. After that, he put his weight on the game and always managed to do the right thing in the important breaking moments of the match that went head-to-head. Kyrgios's arguing with the audience and arguing with the referee caused a loss of concentration. I've never seen players doing this take advantage of themselves. It was a dream tournament for Kyrgios, straight to the final without playing Nadal but experience prevailed. He cannot yet match Djokovic's experience and game finishes. Still very admirable though.
It is the first time ever that Kyrgrios managed to reach so far in a grandslam, so hopefully he can repeat that. He played a very good tournament but it is a pity that he didn't won. He just needs to get his head straight and maintain his focus because he can easily go crazy again on small things.
