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.
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.

Thiem should win and odds are good I am just a bit sceptical about his match fitness.

Cerundalo going strong and looks good to cover my ML bet and -2.5 handicap bet. Always like to start the day with a win, much easier to make following bets then.

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.

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  Roll Eyes

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  Undecided
{..snip..}

On the other hand, I bet on Jiri at +4.5 but he lost the match so it's a L for me.

Fortunately, I also put a bet on Ramos-Vinolas,



At least the damage has been controlled on my end. Probably will continue to bet on Ramos-Vinolas against Jarry in the quarterfinals.

Good match for Thiem as well, chances for him to move on the semifinals. He will be facing Varillas.

Rublev for me was the biggest shock to lose. He just went into a bad mode and with 4-2 in first set for him and a game point he was able to lose that set 4-6 and later lose 2-6 the second set. Some really unexpected results today

Yeah, the worst day for punters and Russian top order players both Rublev and Khachanov lost their matches in straight sets which is big setback because I was expecting something good from these both as they were not in Wimbledon, so they need to perform good but sadly both down and out without any serious trouble Karatsev was good and win his match in three sets but losing other both matches was shocking news for me.
 
In Switzerland Thiem and Berrettini both won their respective matches without any serious trouble in straight sets, Gasquet is also going down day by day as he is losing his quality but still hanging around which is good for this veteran player.

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.

Rule : Don't go search on Google.

Naomi Osaka !?

-snip

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. 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.
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.
Not sure if this is a good idea as well, regardless, you can see the some players just wanted to go on with their careers unfortunately this war really took a toll of them.

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.
