Just curious to know What happened to Nadal?
By the way, he just won the first round match against Cerundolo 6-4, 6-3 and was looking in good form too.

Nothing has happened to Nadal, he's won the first two sets against Cerundolo and we're heading into the third set now.

It's just there is some concern over his fitness, with the injury he's been managing, and after he effectively won the French Open on one foot, with no feeling in the other. The pre-Wimbledon surgery apparently went well, which is why he's playing now... but it's difficult to tell whether his body will be able to hold up for seven matches in a fortnight, which is what it takes to win the tournament. If he can stay fit, then he's certainly one of the favourites to win the thing... but we just don't know for sure whether he'll hold up.

Norrie is an obvious pick, had him weeks ago on scanner, and now it seems that SF is an easy target for him

but yeah, this one does seem as Djokovic - Nadal in final, let's see Nadal today

FAA is having Nadal on his SF way, but will interesting who will pass from Berrettini quarter - Shapovalov could be the one, but basically anyone can enter SF from that quarter

With Nadal there is also a factor of health. We don't have any idea about his condition - we only know it is deteriorating more rapidly recently.

If he is healthy he should reach the final - but on grass and on an off day against a good server I can see him dropping out if he is not physically at 100%.

Anyways this covid thing has badly affected the tournament and we will miss some key players this season.

@buwaytress - your bet is safe now anyway !

With Berrettini out that leaves a bit of a void for Nadal to fill, that side of the draw favours
Nadal even more now

Ah man! I just found out now checking on things and coming back to this crappy piece of news. Think the Nadal backers will be rejoicing, but what a shame for Wimbledon to be missing so many already after the first hurdle...

I suppose I should be happy I did put the very first outright on Djokovic. Now he'll only have himself to blame if he doesn't actually go on to win it.

Don't even want to watch it anymore and it is still first round. Worst grand slam ever on men's side gonna have to switch to women's side of a draw Cry

agree that this Wimbledon will probably be remembered as one of the worst, but for Djokovic it is just the title that counts

nevertheless, Kokkinakis could make Djokovic troubles tomorrow, if he serve well, Djokovic lost too much his serves in first round, and similar play against Kokki, with 17 aces that Kokkinakis had first round could lead to more lost sets for Djoko, hardly a loss, but even that is possible

One of the few big names left standing on the men's side, Kyrgios isn't looking too great at the moment either. He lost the first set, but won the next two and it's currently on serve in the fourth (he's 3-2 down). He's also ranting to himself about the state of the grass. He's also playing against a Brit (who is ranked 219), so the chances of the crowd rooting for Krygios seem pretty slim.

Looks like the chances of a trademark implosion are rising...

Berrettini is out of Wimbledon after testing positive for Covid.

I hope that no more players will be eliminated from the tournament because of Corona. The other players will now be even more careful and also consider when they had contact with Berrettini.
It is a pity that he can not longer playing and the tension is less now. Berrettini could have gone very far.

And we also know he took pictures with his arm around Berrettini couple of days ago. Would not be surprised if we loose Nadal to covid as well.

With Berrettini out I feel like this Wimbledon lost last real title contender except from Djoko. Don't even want to watch it anymore and it is still first round. Worst grand slam ever on men's side gonna have to switch to women's side of a draw Cry

Breaking News!

Berrettini is out of Wimbledon after testing positive for Covid.
He was 8th seed, but obviously a lot of people had him down as a potential winner. With both him and Hurk out, the men's draw is already starting to open up a bit.
I'm sure he'll be really disappointed, as he had a genuine chance of winning the thing. On the plus side though, it won't make any difference to his ranking points - everyone gets a 0 this year!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/61966938

I have Just read this news and I am pretty shocked too.
I mean he was in a strong condition, and last year (Just last year) he was playing the final !
As a gambler I have a question...
In this case (player suspended due Covid19) bettings for the winner Will be reimbursed ?

I would say so! the match didnt take place

Wow, thats a shocker, I'd say he is absolutely gutted after fighting to get back fit and playing
and possibly targeting Wimbledon as a possible win.

Well, besides Đoković and Nadal that basically leaves.. nobody to win it?

Berretini and Čilić are out with Covid, Hurkacz lost the 1st round. Who are the dark horses now? Aliassime and Norrie perhaps?

Don't bet on Dimitrov either, he's now retired injured... I don't think he was really a contender, but still, it's another big name departing in the first round. I don't know about trying to find a dark horse, we're running out of horses altogether the way this is going! At least Djokovic and Nadal are still in the tournament... let's hope Nadal doesn't retire injured later today!

FAA definitely has a chance. Norrie maybe, but a bit of a long shot. Maybe add Kyrgios in there? But of course he's wildly unpredictable. You can probably get good odds on someone like Taylor Fritz, too. Ruud? Sinner? But I don't see them as winning the whole thing.

Alcaraz looked unconvincing, and Tsitsipas is, well, Tsitsipas, so I wouldn't bet on either of those two.

Yeah, looks like Djokovic and Nadal really.

I should have placed a few bets on the winners - considering that other than Đoković there is no clear favorite this year. Some of these bets would have already increased in value by a lot.

The elimination of Hurkacz is certainly a big surprise but this year Fokina is playing at a high level.
Another fact that may come as a surprise but does not surprise me that much is the victory of a set by Kwon against Djokovic.
The Korean also managed to win a set from Alcaraz this year in the Barcelona tournament.
It seems to be a peculiarity of him to win at least one set against tournament favorites Grin

What is certain is that such a result makes me think that it is always VERY RISKY to bet on the exact number of set in a match... Wink

So much for the Hurkacz hype in this Wimbledon, Lol, I will admit that I fall for it and my multi bet was destroyed because of it. If I'm not mistaken, Fokina play very good in clay so it's surprising to see him win against Hurkacz.

Tough match for Raducanu against Van Uytvanck. I'm not totally sold on her performance so I thinking to bet against her on the next match. Don't think he can go as far as the quarter finals.

Damn, Čilić - I had him as a dark horse. This is really a shame, I felt he would have gotten far this year.
He trained with Đoković recently - so it remains to be seen whether Đoković will test positive as well.

That leaves Croatia without a single player at Wimbledon - can't remember when it happened last.

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.

The player against whom Djokovic played is Kwon Soon-woo. South Korean Professional player who has been ranked 52 by the Association of Tennis Professionals. Djokovic losing a set isn't a big thing, because big players too slip at some points. However Kwon Soon-woo have played good, because in every set he have fought back losing the match 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4. Medvedev out of the tournament is a good chance. Let's wait and watch whats gonna happen with the upcoming matches.

@Zackgeno96 it’s clear to see that Djokovic is rusty, but in the end he somehow managed to win and that’ll boost his confidence for his next match. Furthermore I expect him now to put in an improved performance for the next game, and I feel that we’ll see lower odds for Djokovic’s victory as he’ll yet be the favourite to win despite his sloppy performance in the previous game.
