I notice that all the talk is on the men's side... is that because everyone knows that Swiatek will win the women's?  Grin

It seems she's listed at around 2.5...

TBH, did not consider it, but seems as better value than Djokovic @1.83
she is playing in life-best form, and yeah, it is harder to win in a row, when you play best-of-3, because there is no room for mistake, one set down, and you are under pressure, but eventually she should win it

Serena is playing for media attention, it is hard to see her in second week, at this point

It seems she's listed at around 2.5... not sure if that's good or bad. Obviously there is always some uncertainty around a player making it safely through 7 matches in 14 days, irrespective of how good they are. TBH though I did probably expect something less than 2.5.

Serena seems to be around 17-19, but obviously no-one knows what sort of condition she's in.

Otte is improving every single day and his good serve again pulls him to a win. After losing the first set he was able to comeback to an amazing win. He destroyed Bashilashvili in second set and won the match in his own country.

I also find that he is getting better day by day. On Monday he will be ranked 41st in the world. I really hope he can play a lot this year. At the moment he is playing in the quarter-finals against Khachanov. Here too, he lost his first set.  A tiebreak in the second set will probably decide whether there will be a third set or not.

When Kyrgios wants to play he can be the best player in the world. But when his mind goes black he will lose instantly and not care about anymore in the match. This happened in his last loss when he lost the first set and didnt care anymore for second against Murray

I have the same feeling like you. When he is the good mood, he can win against the best players in the world but sometimes he just doesn't care. I like to watch him, it is always very entertaining, but betting on Kyrgios is always dangerous as you never know in what mood he is.

Definitely true. With Krygios it is probably better betting on single matches... it's unlikely he'll maintain his mental attitude for a whole tournament, and he often falls apart playing top players when they start to put him under a bit of pressure. His unpredictability makes him exciting, but for betting he's a lot of trouble.
He is also very good candidate for live betting if you are watching his matches. You can just see when something starts bothering him and then it is downward spiral.

Problem is that he is actually talented, so sometimes, even though he serves underhand, or plays all drop shots in the game or attacks every ball like there is no tomorrow it can work in his favour.

Should win against CB without much problems on grass though,  I have him on one ticket.

I actually watched the match on replay (not live) and OMG he is unbelievable, there is
always controversy with him. Early in the second set he got a tim warning while not
on serve, obviously it didnt go down well with him, he went to his bench, sat down and
had a drink, the tournament supervisor was out talking to him.

Now well done to him for pulling himself together and working the win, but no I
wouldnt bet in him either.

He plays Carreno Busta tomorrow and is favoirite for that.

Today at 1500 Medvedev will play against Ivashka. This year it is not going well for Ivashka. Medvedev should win this match.
My bet is just the opposite. I would take Ivashka @6 every time against Medvedev in this form @1.15. I still believe Medvedev will win, but it will be though and my serious bets are on Ivashka +5.5 @1.6 and Ivashka to take a set @2.8

Sorry. I was mistaken. The game between Medvedev and Ivashka starts now at 1615. I am curious whether your bet will be right.
The game between Basilashvili and Otte was at 1500. Here again the second set was interesting. Otte still won the first set. But in the second set he did not winning a point. So it was exciting in the last set and it was decided in a tiebreak.

Hell, there is just few players in whole world that managed to achieve that. He has at least semi-final on all grand slams which shows how versatile he is. I know I mentioned the whole big 4 but I feel that if he just did not have to contend with Djoković he would have won much more titles.

yeah, basically with top4, Cilic, Wawrinka and Del Porto were the ones that could win something

and Berdych, for example, was most of the time above them on ATP,  but you knew that he is below, and never competitive against top ones, but had constance to win over lower ranked players

in the end, Cilic ran over Bublik in two sets, or Bublik won over himself in that twelfth gem, and Finn is next

Cilic won 1 GS, but if he had been mentally stronger and more stable, he could have achieved much more in tennis.
I also had that feeling in his matches often but when you look at it from outside he achieved incredible things. He won grand slam in era of Djoković, Nadal, Federer and Murray.

Kyrgios is back to his old self, playing one game perfectly with couple of very crowd pleasing shots and then arguing with that same crowd few games later and breaking the racquet.

Looking forward to see Cilic play tonight. He has a though opponent and this match should do nicely to see how good he will be on grass this season.

Well done to Kyrgios, I have stopped being overly interested in him
and wont bet on him. I didnt see the match but Tsitsipas is not
going well on Grass so far.

Yes, that was a good performance from Kyrgios. He will meet Carreño Busta in the quarter-finals. He also needed 3 sets, but played the second set completely without winning a point. A bit strange.

are you following Cilic?
he was 5:0 down in tie-break, to win first set after all, than had clear situation in second set, to lose his serve on 4:3 with break, and Bublik is now again in match

had to put small bet on Bublik just for fun, @6 it has some value, especially if they enter tie-break in second set, than third is all open
I was watching parts of the match, but unfortunately only boring parts. They were both holding their serves quite easy in the games I followed and of course I missed all the drama and breaks of serve Smiley

Čilić struggling a bit in his first grass matches but winning them, which is most important. Bublik is a though opponent on grass, so win 2 sets is a good result even if it could have been a bit easier.

When Cilic plays, nothing is simple and easy  Grin
Cilic can win even the toughest matches against top players, and the next day he will lose a match to a much weaker player.
If you’re a fan of his, you really need to have good nerves and a lot of patience  Grin
Cilic won 1 GS, but if he had been mentally stronger and more stable, he could have achieved much more in tennis.

@Trofo smart and I've been getting big heartbreaks from my outrights losing in finals (I'm looking at you, Tsitsi) so now I think my next GS outright will only be for a final appearance. The problem for me was I never did that anyway until damned Sportsbet did those freebet specials (every win gets you freebet). Think Osaka and Djokovic were the first two and they both happened to win, so ended up with really fat wins PLUS the freebets.

@Cnut237 @cryptofrka  Tsitsi yeah, stay away from. I've been banking on him quite a bit but stepped off the pedal during the last few tourneys to get to grips and see him more. His higher seeding/ranking hasn't really affected odds previous though, at least -- Nadal outright odds were incredible though, shame they've now adjusted back.

Tsitsipas is a very good clay player and nothing more. I never bet on him on other surfaces. Of course he has quality to get far on hard as well when he is in form but grass has never been good to him. Hell, he has 3 seasons where he did not win even a single match on grass and usually first round of Winbeldon gives really easy opponents to seeded players. Bet against him on grass whenever possible, works like a charm most of the time.


Agreed on Tsitsipas, his results on grass are mostly disastrous. He just lost easily to Murray who is still a decent player but can barely move and needed 3 sets to beat Benjamin Bonzi before losing to Kyrgios.
My plan will be to bet on the first decent player that will be paired against him.

Since July 2019 he has played 6 matches on grass in total, winning only against Bonzi and Stricker.

I'm still going to go for a surprise bet anyway for the winner and I'm going to wait for this for 10 more days. The name that is in my mind for now is Tsitsipas Stefanos

Personally Tsitsipas is one I'd stay away from. He'll be a high seed, so probably not very good odds... but his recent performances haven't been as good as his ranking. His record at Wimbledon is his worst of all the slams, and he's only once got past the first round there. He has the ability to do well because he's a great player, but I don't think his recent form or his Wimbledon record work in his favour.

Lol good to see he's back then, what happened to that decision about sanctioning him (I forgot the right word) after the abuse incidents in Miami? I thought they were going to sanction him or is that already finished.

Anyway, your Croatian got through pretty straightforward in the end Smiley Good for his confidence going forward.

Frankly, even if Nadal plays in the tournament I think that Djokovic would still win the tournament very comfortably as long as he doesn't have any problem like an injury. The betting odds are also confirming my opinion already. I'm still going to go for a surprise bet anyway for the winner and I'm going to wait for this for 10 more days. The name that is in my mind for now is Tsitsipas Stefanos
