I watched part of the match, and other games he played... and I am avoiding to bet on him (even if he is a strong layer with "strong" tennis and strong first serve).
Against Hurcacz was able to win the first set "easy"... break point at end of the set and easy 6-4. But Probably he is not in the best physical and mental form (you can see just counting smashed rackets...).

Berrettini has the potential to place himself on top of Wimbledon, I will not surprise if he can reach another final even this year.

Indeed, the reason I have been taking your tips in tennis on ocassion is your proven rate of hits -- the way I deviate is something of a bad habit. Need to find a way to include them instead of my own picks when doing the famous 5-leg acca from SB. Well done on the straight set win too! Didn't watch it after the first 5 minutes or so, but well worth the bet, and 5/1 is a sweet spot to hit in any case. Let's see if I remember for a final/last 4 outright for Berrettini!

Congratulations Trofo. It seems to be a really good betslip. By the way, my decision about my surprise tennis player in Wimbledon is going to be Hurkacz this year. As far as I have followed so far, he is going to be in a very good form when he comes to London.

Hey man, piece of advice, if you are taking tips from somebody take them as they are I am usually putting a lot of thought in my picks when choosing game handicaps and set handicaps. Then I am mixing them cause of turf difference and player serves. Medvedev played as bad as usual on grass this season and it is just a question of his opponent being good enough to use all those gifts.

Berrettini also continued with his good performances and I am considering him as top favorite for Wimbledon this year.

Tough luck leea, tennis on accas, been there done that cried the same tears heh.


Nice one, just took it before match. I think this one seems better value too and to ensure one of us brings home some prize from the bookie, I went for correct score 2:1 to Hurkacz 6.06. was 5/1 for 2:0 so either one looks nifty.

Hurkacz started well on serves, now's just got an ace, but time for me to go watch some other non-sports. Heh

That's all my betting for today, I'm being a good boi saving my BTC for July!

So,,, I did not place a single tennis bet for months, maybe even I did not place one this year IIRC and yesterday I started by doing it on Nick Kyrgios, on a freebet multi that I won from Sportsbet promo. Guess what happened next?  



Was he just so bad or did his attitude once more cause him to lose? What a shitty way to start weekend  

Medvedev will face hurkacz in halle ATP final to be honest i did not expect medvedev to get to the final in a grass court and without losing a single set which is impressive but he faced less tough opponents than hurkacz and to be honest the odds are tempting a 3 odd for hurkacz to win i think its a good chance to make some money.

This is fair enough. It is up to the individual whether they want to get vaccinated or not, it is totally within their control. But an individual cannot control where they are born.
It's Djokovic's personal choice not to get vaccinated.
Whereas Medvedev etc have no control over the fact they were born in Russia.

Djokovic has a very difficult character and he is very stubborn.
He has some personal principles, he pays close attention to his diet and what he brings to his body, and because of those principles he doesn't want to be vaccinated.
However, what about when the right to personal choice and personal freedom comes into conflict with public safety and public protection?
If the right to personal choice and freedom were more important than public safety and protection of the population, there would be chaos and therefore states have the right to ask visitors to vaccinate.
Visitors can agree to such decisions, get vaccinated and come, or refuse vaccination and accept the decision that they can't enter the country.
However, Djokovic tried to put pressure on the government of a sovereign state to change the rules, just because he wanted to play and believed he is known enough in the world to be able to change the rules that apply to all other ordinary people. That was wrong.
I already read somewhere that Djokovic will most likely not be able to perform at the last GS season in America, because America doesn't allow unvaccinated foreigners to enter the country, much like Australia.
Is a new court drama waiting for us? 
However, Russian and Belarusian tennis players will be able to perform if they play under the neutral flag.

If you need one risky game for today, I would go for Hurkacz to win 2:0, should be good odds. I have him to cover handicap and as ML @3.0. Never liked Medvedev much and it seems to me he is quite vulnerable and easy to loose nerves at this time of season.

In the other final I feel like Berrettini should have it done in 2 tight sets, so I rather took him as 2:0 then handicap.

@aoluain at this stage the only thing that'll surprise me about him is if he actually ends a game (win or lose) without an incident. Think sometimes he's even doing it to live up to his reputation

@Joca97 Tsitsi max final agree, Kyrgios I don't even rate him as a final 4.

@Trofo yeah the Djoko case was always weird, but the world's so weird now with everyone trying to make some kind of reputation for themself. Think that one was a cut-and-dried "win votes" move though. Aussies didn't want him in and they saw it as a chance to win popularity.

The way Australia handled that case was a total disaster. They let several more players in on the same basis and they already played matches and nobody had problems with that until "high profile anti vaxer" came. Then they all got deported, proving once again it is all about images and actually nobody cares if it isn't public.

One of the times that fame worked against famous person, usually they get better treatment than us mortals

I personally don't agree with the things you said as a person who took three doses of Biontech jab. It should have been up to the will of individuals whether to take a jab or not. Australia would have been rightful if they hadn't accepted Djokovic to the country in the first place. But I think that it was wrong to deport Djokovic because of public reaction after saying to him that there was no problem about coming.

Djokovic has of course had a strange year because he refused to be vaccinated. Was an extremely bad example for the rest of the world. What really annoyed me is that he thought he could still participate in everything. I remember the Australian Prime Minister personally expelling him from the country, and rightly so. He has not made himself popular with tennis fans, except from his own country. Players like Djokovic are of course so good that they need little preparation. Maybe he just has a good training schedule with high-level opponents.

agree, this could be it, although Djokovic is as injury prone, as one can be
RG loss was not good on him, and it is probably mental strength that he is keeping, not really sure, but as I remember he started grass season on Wimbledon last season as well

one more loss on some small tournament would not do him any good, and it is probably hardest to win in a row on grass surface, since one/two mistake can put you down against good server

It was a strange match for Cilic on serve, he had about 15 aces so you think he must have served good but then you realize he also had just about 50% of first serves and bad conversion on second serve. Did not expect Krajinovic to do well on grass but he was very solid this week.

Berrettini is winning and what is even more important he is getting better and better with each match. He was a bit shaky last week but it already looks much better this week. As it stand, top favorite to take Wimbledon title. Not sure why Djokovic isn't playing anywhere? He needs some match on grass for sure before Wimbledon and he will not have any. This makes me think he is maybe quietly nursing some injury.

so, second week into grass season, and second final for Berrettini, he is setting his candidacy for good result at Wimbledon
Medvedev is also in second final, and he lost last week, Hurkacz is certainly not an easy one to beat, will be interesting

Krajinovic reached final with Berrettini with a win over Cilic, a bit surprise for me, but key points were on Filip side, and Cilic did not worked out break in second set first gem

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas are for me two players now that need to be avoided in later rounds of tournaments. They just cannot win a tournament for Kyrgios max is semi final and for Tsitsipas max is final. Plus Kyrgios is a hot head so he should be avoided most if the times

Yea I agree, Osaka is only 24, she has plenty of time to get back to winning ways.
It is a pity that she misses Wimbledon and TBH she has been off the radar for
a good number of weeks while everyone talks about Swiatek.


Gea I stopped backing him a while ago, today the bet on Hurkacz paid off, he beat Nick
in 3 sets, I didnt see it but I'm sure there was plenty of giving out and the odd raquet
smash too

It is too bad for Osaka as I liked watching her play and for one moment, she really dominated the field and won 4 grand slams. I don't think all hope is lost yet, if she can find some good mental health coaches, it can do wonders for her and she may start winning again grand slams. She still got the talent.
