Christ CLS63 and Trofo yea, has to be the biggest upset and for sure killed a LOT of tickets (saw most days him being the most popular pre-tourney bet). Tough fightback only to lose in the end, though Alcaraz got the lucky end of that.

There's got to be more upsets coming so yeah, might be a good idea to just pick the top 3 seeds and bet against them all. And then cover it all live if they actually do go behind.

I really can't believe that Hurkacz has said goodbye to the Wimbledon in the first round already. Frankly, today has been quite bad for me. I'm having quite big difficulties in winning in my betslips except e-sports in the recent times. Cheesy

Today there were some nice and especially exciting matches. Djokovic managed to qualify for the 2nd round, but it was not convincing at all. He even had to give up the 2nd set to his opponent, certainly not a top player. I don't believe Djokovic can win this tournament, his game was too sloppy today. Although his chances are of course bigger because Medvedev has been banned by the tournament organization. That still remains a tumult thing that exclude Russian athletes. They are welcome at some tournaments and not at others.

So I had 3 favorites for Wimbledon this year. By favourites I mean players I intended to back in every round, either as ML or maybe even 3:0 victories. Hurkacz was one of them and he lost today.

Čilić was another and he got covid and cancelled his match. Really though for him since he was in good form and this was great opportunity for him.

Now I only have Berrettini left but odds on him will be less juicy then odds on those 2 I mentioned before. At least Djoko won and got us that first free bet, thanks to Sportsbet promo.

Wasn't expecting Bencic to lose in the first round to Wang. I was just looking at her career stats and other than the Olympic Gold(which is a big achievement and everyones dream) she has a pretty poor showing in most slams. Just 1 Semis appearance at the US Open and she has never gone past the 4th round at any other slam. Surprising to say the least and now, she's out of Wimby in the 1st round with Wang up a set and 5-2 in the 2nd. Serving for the match.

yeah, Hurkacz out is a big surprise, and he was a candidate to reach far
probably best result for Djokovic, since he is also not on top of his play, but having Hurkacz out from his part of the draw leaves Alcaraz as main contender, and he also struggles to pass through

Bublik just kicked-out Fucsovics, and Sinner is close to kick-out Wawrinka, maybe he can be here in second week? Murray is up in third set, cheering for him

not that smooth, but Norrie is close to straight sets in first round, played well
Djokovic lost his serve in both first two sets, but eventually will win straight sets, as it now seems
did not know that Verdasco is back in action on Wimbledon, but he is already on a way home (could not be easier way to get 35k EUR, or what is now reward for starting Wimbledon in main draw)

Age had catch up to verdasco its been years since we have seen him in advanced rounds of major tournaments, the best he can do now is compete in chalengers and as you said its easy money to just participate in wimbeldon, it seems that djokovic is not in his top form he had difficulties against kwoon and he lost that second set, i wonder if we will see nadal win the third grandslam in a row.

What an unbelievable effort by Hubi Hurkacz. He was down 0-2 sets to Davidovic Fokina and Fokina serving for the match, up 5-4 in the 3rd set and 40-0 up..but still somehow Hurkacz broke back and won the set and the 4th. Unluckily lost in the 5th set tie breaker but a commendable effort from Hubi. You should never take it easy until the match is actually over. Fokina learnt it the hard way today.

It's a shock that he's out in the first round, many had him down to go far in the tournament. Other news on the men's side, could have been a shock but wasn't in the end, Alcaraz is through unconvincingly after winning a five-setter. He's not looking like one of the favourites so far.

On the women's side, Raducanu is through what was a potentially tricky first-round tie, playing some decent tennis at times, but will need to improve to progress far.

Lot of strange results all around but Hurkacz loosing has to be the biggest one. I had him as a favorite from shadow and expected him to come really far. My ticket today did not have a chance. Don't remember last time when I had results as bad as today on tennis.

Ah well, if we learned anything, it is to bet against the favorites rather than on favorites to cover 3:0 wins or handicaps. Will try it that way tomorrow.

No, Djokovic has just lost the second set. He's looking a bit shaky. Nevertheless, he does often lose a set or even two, but win anyway. Even at one set all it would be a big shock to see him lose this match. Even if he goes 2-1 down in sets, you'd still expect to see him win it in five.

Having said all that, there are a few signs in the second set stats that Djokovic is some way below his best. 0 aces. 58% of first serves in. Forehand unforced errors is quite high, too, at 7.

Just checked the markets for first day and there isn't many value bets for me. Here are a couple that stand out and I will include them in some form on all my tickets.

Monteiro to win @1.65, he comes after solid performances and a win against Humbert, while Munar never won a match on grass

Van Rijtoven to win 3:0 @1.8, Delbonis is terrible on grass and this one should be very easy.

Haddad Maia to win, cover handi, or 2:0 in sets. Can't make my mind which market to take but she should win without much problems.

Be careful about Alcaraz, I am thinking he wil lose against first solid opponent and and Struff from couple of years ago would be good enough for sure. Today I am not so sure so skipping this one.

Yea I was going to go with an Alcaraz bet but aside from the threat of Struff the odds
arent great. I have definitely gone with Haddad Maia, she looks very strong on grass,
its a no-brainer really.

I have also gone with Murray to beat Duckworth and Norrie to beat Andujar, He is one
set up 6-0 so far.

First round of Wimbledon will start in about 5-6 hours from now, my time.

I'm excited because we will have another very tough grand slams and of course our chance to bet and win again. Hurkacz vs Fokina might be a good one in this first round.

Djokovic vs Kwon and then Alcaraz vs Struff, Sinner and Wawrinka as well. Time to put some parlays for higher odds.

there are a lot of interesting matches even if we are in the first round.
Some quite "simple" at least on paper, but in my opinion they are not worth the risk of a bet ... No one has indicated the match of Tiafoe vs Vavassori just as example Grin

Every year I look closely at Rosol's performance. In 2012 he disintegrated Nadal ... Wink

and he always considered an underdog but he has one of the most powerful first service of the whole tournament

Djokovic vs Kwon will be probobly an easiest match of the tournament for Djokovic. I played under 27.5 games because i think it will be too fast .
Also Alcaraz is playing against Struff that is really good on grass and with his serve and volley he might even surprise Alcaraz in this round

Agreed with Struff match. He is a dark horse who's really good with his serves and could easily cause an upset. Could actually go for that match to go over 3.5 sets. Wawrinka vs Sinner is scheduled today as well. Another interesting 1st round match. Sinner might have the edge with match practice and fitness but you can never rule Stan the man out.

What a rested and recovered Serena can do at this Wimbledon?
She obviously wants a dignified farewell to Wimbledon and we may be watching the last performance of one of the greatest tennis legends in history.
It will be very interesting to watch her in the coming days.

She's a living legend finish her career at a major tournament like Wimbledon would have been an honor for her, but make it in final and say goodbye seems like it would be difficult but if she do it will be remembered as a beautiful farewell.

Wanted to place a bet on this match but seeing h2h the two have never met on grass so have no clue how this match will turn out, Hurkacz has a better history here as a semifinalist last year.

Just looking at the matches for tomorrow, does it seem strange that some of the top
seeds are playing on the first day? Djokovic, Norrie, Alcaraz and Hurkacz.

Not at all, it is always like that at Grand Slams, top half of the draw plays on first day and bottom half on second day. It gets confusing since top seeds are free in first rounds of most tournaments from ATP 1000, 500 and 250 series. That means they usually start on second or third day but nobody gets a free pass on grand slams.
