Alcaraz had needed a little more effort than most had thought. The first set with four breaks in a row had to be decided in a tiebreak. In the second set, Alcaraz gave Molcan no chance and he deserved to be in the final. A great performance from Molcan. I am looking forward to the final, Alcaraz against Musetti.
Thiem success was put to an end in the semis, as he was dominated by Berrettini.
Same with the match between Ruud and Ramos Vinolas. Both Ruud and Berrettini won setting up the finals match. And they didn't give any chance against their opponents as they completely demolished them. I thought that it will be a close semis, but both won in 2 sets. Ruud even have 6-0 win against Ramos Vinolas. Berrettini 6-1 against Thiem.

Thiem is really coming back strong lately. After that injury and huge losing streak it looks like he is finally picking up pace. Semi final for him is a big achivement ,by the end of the year we might see him in a final or maybe win some of this ATP 250 tournaments
Alcaraz might struggle a little with Molcan,Molcan this year improved a lot but still shouldnt be a problem for Alcaraz. The other duel will be intresting because i think both players are pretty equal. Cerundolo only might be in better form then Musetti in last couple of tournaments.
Yes that is right. Molčan has really improved tremendously this season and it is also his most successful so far. The semi-final is the third semi-final he has reached and it will not so easy for Alcaraz. I expect a somewhat exciting game but Alcaraz will finish the match as the winner.
Alcaraz is just way too strong for anyone and should be fav to win the tournament. Even with Musetti being in a fine form himself. Should be a great match nevertheless as both the players are very strong on clay. Could potentially be a 3 setter nail biter but I can't see how Alcaraz loses this. His defense and movement around clay is way too good. Reminds me of a young nadal. Powerful and one of the best movers on clay.
The semi-finals of the tournament in Hamburg are taking place today. I think it is pretty clear that Alcaraz will reach the final. In the other semi-final match between Musetti and Cerúndolo I do not have a favourite. The odds are also very similar and therefore only small differences will surely decide victory and defeat.

By the way, did anyone watch this game yesterday: Elisabetta Cocciaretto - Caroline Garcia? Garcia was the clear favorite but lost the first set 0-6 (LOL) and then easily won the remaining two sets (LOOOOL). If I was looking for matches similar to fixed, then this would be one of the most obvious contenders. It turns out that the one who made a bet on the defeat of Garcia in the first set with such a score won at least x60 
Would definitely be fishy for someone to bet on Garcia to lose first set 6-0. Coz that's pretty rare to happen for a clear fav player. Even though, I think the tournament is played in the opponent's home country. Well, to be honest, this is what a classic WTA match looks like. Even Serena is prone to antics like this. She'd play like she cant even move over the first set and hit everything out and then absolutely destroy the opponent in the next set. 6-0,0-6 as scoreline is fairly common in WTA.

I dont think it was a fixed match it is just women tennis. Women tennis is just stupid some times. They dont have strong serves and breaks happen really often. If you watch other matches you will see it really often. But still a really big odd was won
I am aware of these features and would have taken this result normally if the last two sets had gone through at least with equal chances. But it seemed that Garcia remembered something and began to play much better. Too suspicious swing in mood and in results. However, judging by the news, this did not surprise anyone and I did not notice much discussion of what happened. I would like to know the opinion of bookmakers about this game.
''Novak Djokovic will be joining Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray to play for Team Europe in the Laver Cup.''
''The event, which pits six European players against six from Team World over three days, will take place in London between 23 and 25 September.''
''"It's the only [event] where you play in a team with guys you're normally competing against," said Djokovic.
"To be joining Rafa, Roger and Andy - three of my biggest all-time rivals - it's going to be a truly unique moment in the history of our sport."

As Djokovic said, it will be really very interesting to watch the joint team performance of the greatest tennis players in history.
Recently, especially after some statements before the GS in Australia, it seemed that Nadal and Djokovic are no longer on good terms, but they will still play together in the European team.
This will really be a special opportunity to watch them perform together, for the same team, and enjoy great tennis again even though the competition itself is not so important.
Does this mean that Nadal and Djokovic have reconciled?

Quarter finals now in Swiss Open, still the top seeds are in this tournament, Ruud, Berrettini, Vinolas and Martinez.
Berrettini vs Martinez should be a good one, I'm betting on the over for this one, and maybe doing a Ruud ML. I'm also expecting for Thiem to go and win, will be great to see him going into the finals but it's going to be very tough to go against this seeded players.
Ruud, berretini and thiem have made it to the semi final, its promising to be interesting we have the first semi final between thiem and berretini, thiem is slowly going back to his shape but i don't think he is at the level where he can beat berretini i think it will be close but berretini will win in the end i think we will see a Ruud vs berretini final.Berrettini vs Martinez should be a good one, I'm betting on the over for this one, and maybe doing a Ruud ML.

Ah its great to see both of these hugely talented players return to the performance which
is kind of expected of them. Berrettini is favoirite for that semi tomorrow, I think he might
be just that little bit ahead in recovery than Thiem.
Vinolas is having a tough set against Jarry, I would expect him to come through this one
to meet Ruud but I didnt bet on this one, Vinolas is @2.2 currently, It tempting to put
something on it now.
Oh well, I have Ramos-Vinolas at -0.5 at 1.85, and guess what the handicap score is? 18-18, damn, was very close. Anyhow, that's sports betting for us, LOL, was tempted to go with the ML, but I say that Ramos-Vinolas can easily covered that odds.
So it's Thiem vs Berrettini in the semifinals. Hard to decide who will win this match as Thiem is really performing at least 90% of his version that we used to see from him. I will not be surprised if he pulls a upset in three sets.
I think also that Ruud will go through and is favoirite.
Also as I suspected Berrettini beat Thiem fairly easily, Thiem has some more recovery
to get through but is showing promising hopes for the remainder of the season.

Yea Alcaraz for the final, I have been betting on him all through this competition although
I did lose on a handicap bet earlier in the tournament. I also have Cerundolo to beat Musetti,
this guy is on a high from his recent tournament win.

Is it worth to bet on Ruud? He should win but ML odds are around 1.15, way to low for me. I am taking -3.5 handicap or skipping. Just deciding about that and came here for inspiration.Berrettini vs Martinez should be a good one, I'm betting on the over for this one, and maybe doing a Ruud ML.

I couple a Ruud ML with the over on Martinez vs Berrettini for a 2.23 odds.
Thiem should win and odds are good I am just a bit sceptical about his match fitness.
Thiem won in 2 sets against Varillas, just lot of error on the part of Varillas and Thiem was able to capitalized on it. I should have included him in the parlay above but I put him at handicap -2.5 in a single bet at 1.74. Will be good match later at semis, Thiem vs Berrettini and Ruud vs Viñolas. I might parlay both on the over, I'm expecting nothing of a 3 set, a hard fought tie break match in this 2 matches.

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 
Sorry for your loss, but this again shows that there is no value at all in betting on odds of 1.14. By betting on these kind of odds, you only need 1 loss on 7 matches and the end result will always be a negative ROI. Surprises always happen in every sport.

It looks like Djokovic is still vaccinated. He has already accepted a ban from participating in the US open. We can have a whole discussion about that, but one thing is certain and that is that Djokovic will never be vaccinated against the drug. I actually think that the tennis association should act much harder and no longer allow tennis players who have not yet graduated from all tournaments. You also pose a danger to society and as a top tennis player you also have an exemplary function.

Edit: when I was writing Cerundalo had a set and 4:1 in second set. Then he lost 3 serves in next 4 service games so it seems my bet will be lost in the end. I can only hope for forfeit.
you got better than a forfeit there man! Had to battle for it, down a break in the 3rd, receiving to stay in the match and at the end in the tie break managed to close it off. nice run these last 2 weeks, will he make it to another final?! Jump to:
