Caroline Garcia vs Danielle Collins
Danielle Collins is having a great performance in her favorite tournament. Collins has lost only one set so far and has looked tremendous on his serve. Garcia has shown his form by beating two grand slam champions in Osaka and Gauff. Collins has the advantage in front of his own fans, but Garcia can take the game to the top. I think it will be an enjoyable match.
I also agree that this match is going to be a very interesting one. in this match, Caroline Garcia should have the upper hand. Because in my opinion, she is a better player. But I guess if we take the current form of both the players into account, I think we will see that both of them are performing well. So looking at the current performance, I think Collins has a good chance to beat Garcia. This is the quarter-final of the Miami Open. So I am expecting both the players to give their 100%.

Yekaterina Alexandrova vs Jessica Pegula
Alexandrova won comfortably against Iga Swiatek and pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the tournament. Swiatek is weak against strong tennis players like Alexandrova. Pegula, on the contrary, can be effective against tough opponents with her consistency and patient play. Although Pegula is one step ahead in this match, Alexandrova will not give up easily with her confidence after the Swiatek match.
This match is going to be a much closer and more competitive one compared to the one we just talked about. On paper in my opinion Jessica is a better player. But I am not going to say that one is completely better compared to the other for this match. Even though I did pick a favorite in the Garcia versus Collins match, I think this one is going to be anyone's game.

Medvedev has just won the first set against German player Koepfer at tie break (7-5).
It was not easy at all... but after this score odds in favor of Russian player collapsed below @1.05
Let's see what has to offer the second set but I don't think here we can see any surprise anymore

Iga Swiatek shockingly loses to world no. 16th Alexandrova. Odds on Alexandrova to win were over 8x. Talking about unexpected losses, Musetti beats American teenage sensation Ben Shelton in straight sets.

Sinner v O'Connell in 2021 compared to 3 years later is a different match up. I would be very
surprised if the result was the same as back then. I'm not saying its impossible, just surprised.

The last two matches of the day are very interesting, Musetti v Shelton and Alcaraz v Monfils.
I might do a handicap bet on Monfils, he's been playing fantastic, Under 21.5 @ 1.63.

Medvedev has also made it through to the round of 16 beating Norrie

Sinner will play tomorrow against O'Connell.
I think the odds are relatively low Sad  since odds are of course in favor of Italian player (@1.04) but are too low.
During the only match they have played (2021) the australian player has achieved the victory! (2-0 in Atlanta).

I wouldn't be surprised by an increase during the match like we have seen yesterday during Griekspoor match.
Sinner does have good chance of getting win over O'Connell but he will get relatively low odds from the house if we make Sinner the betting favorite, I sure he will get the win as before but I hesitant to take him in the bet because of that very low.
Sinner previously won and everything went easily, this is why he really has the advantage on paper even though later I not sure Sinner can really get the title at this Miami open.
Maybe the next match will be able to give us much better odds with decent odds but no one knows who the opponent will be in the next match.

Yesterday match with Griekspoor was quite surprising and the first and second sets really looked quite fierce even though in the end Sinner recorded victory over Griekspoor.

I am also stoked to see Osaka through to the round of 32 after beating Svitolina, she
now faces Garcia only the fourth time this year!, Fourth time lucky perhaps,
She does seem to be getting stronger with more match time and she is favourite at 1.43,
I'll try a straight bet.
With Osaka talent was always there, problem is mental state. I don't know what is happening with here and if she is in "good place" now but she is not going on any tickets I am playing. One wrong word from the audience is all it takes for her to break apart, there is just too much variables involved to bet on her. I feel sorry for her and would love that she manages to overcome those issues but I can't even phantom circumstances that made it happen first time. I hear much worse almost on daily basis when playing with my mates  Grin

I always thought that Osaka would keep on winning more grandslams after her first US Open in 2018, but her mental state is indeed the problem. She could probably be greatly helped with a sport psychologist and be on the right track. For some sports man it has done wonders, best example is probably Ronnie O Sullivan. The greatest talent of all time but his mental state was not the best, he started working with a sport psychologist and since then he is back on the winning track and keeps breaking record after record.

Im following her but not betting on her, as Trofo posted I'm waiting to see how she performs.

I'm watching Griekspoor v Sinner but following the Garcia v Osaka scoreboard and she lost
the first set on a tie break and its on serve in the second.

She said herself she is working on her mental state, the talent is there, I think she is getting
stronger.

Anyway Sinner is back on track in the third set so there shouldnt be another upset.
Rune got despatched by the giant killer Marozsan 6-1, 6-1, anyone have a bet on the Hungarian?

Yea and I agree with you there too but unfortunately we cant manufacture our own player
pool, that will happen organically. On a positive note the GOAT's have laid down a legacy and
a target for other players to work hard to try and emulate their successes. There are records
there which I would like to see broken, hopefully there is someone to do that.

And also from a betting point of view, there is definitely money to be made when there are
the likes of those top 3 players around.

And on top players Sinner plays today against countryman Vavassori and is 1.02 favourite,
best to parlay him with someone else like Humbert 1.23 who plays against van de Zandshulp
and maybe Paul 1.10 who plays Damm?

There is really no use in using that odds in parlays; yes they are the big favorite but surprises always happen and there is simply no value in odds like that. Everybody has a different strategy but more often than not, the bet with the lowest odd in a parlay will fail. I don't really play a lot of parlays anymore, prefer single value bets.

...and surprise surprise Paul is out after getting injured so yea anything can happen.

I dont do that many parlays myself and as Trofo above points out a handicap can
be more rewarding.

Sabalenka is out of Miami Open: she lost to the Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina in three sets - 4:6, 6:1, 1:6!

Another surprising result (at least for me) is Murray defeating Etcheverry and going further into the Round of 32! Very nice performance by the British veteran! He is going to meet Machac tonight.

Yes Murray defeating Etcheverry a seeded player is kind of surprising alright and in
two sets.

I am also stoked to see Osaka through to the round of 32 after beating Svitolina, she
now faces Garcia only the fourth time this year!, Fourth time lucky perhaps,

Totally agree with this. Odds that low are usually not worth it. I am always looking for handicaps in situations like that. I mean we all agree Sinner is favorite but if bookies are offering 1.02 on his win and 1.6 on his opponent covering 6.5 handicap I know which one I am taking.

Rainy day in Miami today so matches got delayed.

The most anticipated encounters include:

Rublev v Machac
Humbert v v.d. Zandschulp
Shapovalov v Tsitsipas


Nothing happening ATM in Miami, everything is suspended because of extreme
weather. A few matches got played, among them Rublev v Machac. Rublev was beaten
in 2 sets 4-6, 4-6. The Czech player is continuing his great performance.

Humbert beat van de Zandschulp too as I expected 6-4, 6-3.
On the WTA side Sabalenka beat Badosa and wins also for Gauff, Navarro and
Azarenko.

Looking at the weather forecast it doesnt look like there will be any matches played
until tomorrow.

Ah yes the 3 way competition has been discussed a few times but do we have to have a 3 top
players like Federer, Djokovich and Nadal all the time? It had been brilliant for everyone to
witness that era of those 3 players but things change, we might have only 2 going forward for
the next 10+ years or there might not be a even 2 dominant players.

Its an interesting discussion, would Tennis suffer if all the competitions over the next 10 years
was to be won by a mixture of players in the top10? would that not be refreshing?

If I could make a comparison to F1 in the mid 90's and early 00's when Michael Schumacher was
racing and won almost every race and won 7 drivers championships, for me F1 became Veeeeery
boring and I switched off.

Ok that didnt happen when we had the 3[4] top players in Tennis but I dont think it would be a
bad think if we didnt have that scenario again.

I agree with you, but there is an important differentiation that should be made. Let's take a scale of 1-10 where a 1 is a bad player and a 10 is the highest a player can achieve. If over the course of the next ten years we will see a mixture of players win the titles, then it would be amazing if that mixture of players has an average of 9+. If it means that the whole sport experiences a significant drop in quality and the mixture of players averages a 6, it would be bad. If one player is a 10 and five players are hunting the best player down to steal titles from him, then I am cool with it.

Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all were a 10 like Messi and Ronaldo in football were a 10. Formula 1 is a bit different because so much depends on the car and overall the technology. I am certainly ok with several players owning the tennis courts, but please let them be high quality players. But I admit that being spoiled can be a problem. Witnessing Messi vs. Ronaldo in the same league in football and the three GOATS in tennis is a pretty unique situation.

A lot of people will be watching Monfils, he is having a great season lately and is definitely
a contender for another quarter final at least.

Anyone watch the Murray v Berrettini match yesterday? was it me or was it a tedious 2 hours
and 48 minutes watch over 3 sets?

Berrettini and Murray both had great shots and were kind of on similar levels, Berrettini was
obviously just coming back to playing high intensity tennis but couldnt beat Murray.
It would be nice to see him increase his form but has a long way to go IMO.



On the WTA side, I'm following Osaka again, she won yesterday against a player I havent
heard of before that I can remember Cocciaretto. Osaka plays Svitolina tomorrow, big
challenge ahead.

Auger Aliassime vs Adam Walton
Walton came through the qualifiers, but both the players he beat were clay court players and were not really tested at this level. Felix, on the other hand, has not been able to reach the level he dreamed of, but he is one step ahead with his effective serve and powerful forehand.

Dusan Lajovic Vs Gael Monfils
Gael Monfils narrowly missed the quarterfinals in Indian Wells and will try his luck this time in Miami. The experienced racket is playing very professional tennis at the last stage of his career. Lajovic, on the other hand, is not very effective on hard courts. I see Monfils one step ahead.
