all the easy 3:0 today, except for Isner, that is out 2:3
one is currently not expected, and that is Norrie to be out by Khachanov, currently really close to happen, 0:2 in sets, 2:4 in third set
Alcaraz is on track, with 1:0 in sets, but struggle in second set, could be another longer match for him in the end

Well, Čilić actually won quite easily - not what I expected. He is playing against Simon next, here the expected outcome would be an easy win but knowing him - it will probably be a struggle.
Still - I will probably hunt some handicap odds on Čilić if the odds will be tempting. He will want to win quickly - his next opponent would be Medvedev and he'll want to get to that match well rested.
That is great draw for Čilić, especially on clay. Simon is quite bad on clay and it is least favourite surface for Medvedev. This is a nice opportunity for him to get far.Still - I will probably hunt some handicap odds on Čilić if the odds will be tempting.

Dimitrov is out, in 3 quite easy sets. Did not see this one coming since he was quite good on clay this season. Loosing only to Tsitsipas.
I watched some of the Sinner v Baena match and he struggles a fair bit, the score
line actually flatters him a bit. Funny about Sinner, he doesnt seem to be progressing
IMO, he is a really solid player but I actually cant see him winning a GS or beating the top
5 or 6 or even getting further up the rankings ATM.
There have been a few upsets but currently all the usual suapects are progressing through
the rounds, Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Nadal and Alcaraz.
Nadal might have a tough day in the office against van de Zandschulp and Alcaraz the same
against Korda.

you are probably right I share your point of view about Sinner.
Probably he is lacking maturity and experience, but he has all the credentials to "explode" and play at very high levels even against a top 5.
Yesterday against Baena he dominated the match, apart from a point break in the 4th set, for the rest he seemed to always be in control of the match.

Live Right Now there is an interesting match between Sinner vs Carballes Baena.
First Set was win by the Spanish, but in the second set Sinner has made a break point just now (3-2 current score).
Odds are not the best (I have seen @1.30 in stake.com) but it's always interesting for this match...

Sinner is now on 2:1, but Baena has break in fourth set, we could expect fifth in this setup
Tsitsipas is also losing one set, and leading 2:1, Rublev won 3:1 against Delbonis, will be interesting to see who will reach final from this part
Medvedev won 3:0 against Djere, and showing best tennis so far, but Rublev and Tsitsipas should be favorites against him in eventual matches

Damn it Halep. You ruined everybodies parlays and bets due to an injury in the second set.
She was cruising and looking like a solid win but then that happened and screwed up her chances to win against the 74th seeded player:

Looks like she had a panic attack or something that physical therapy could not cure during the match as she didn't take a medical timeout.
Yet another top seed for the women's side out of the tournament from a lower seeded player.
That looks to be the 10th one out of Rolland Garros sent home early.

Medvedev won 3:0 against Djere, and showing best tennis so far, but Rublev and Tsitsipas should be favorites against him in eventual matches
Tsitsipas though has to eventually make another huge comeback, Kolar can't convert a for set points in the fourth set to force a fifth and eventually Tsitsipas won the tie break.
Yeah, Medvedev is really playing very well in clay, Nadal and Djokovic will have their match later, and I don't expect anything funny going to happen against them.
Medvedev also made a nice against a really good player on clay Laslo Djere. I think the advantage of Medvedev was that Djere had a leg injury as far as i seen. Medvedev playing much better on clay then usual. How far can he go that is the real question

Yeah, Alcaraz was really living dangerously for quite some time. Still - he managed to win and will be equally dangerous going forward. He has Korda next, then probably Corrie.
I was surprised to see Alcaraz struggle. Compare this with how Nadal, Djokovic and Medvedev are breezing through their matches without being even slightly troubled.
If Alcaraz has Korda next, then that could be a really tough match against another rising star. I wouldn't be too surprised after the last match if Alcaraz gets knocked out earlier than we were all expecting.
I am not betting on him for now. Just watching and waiting to see how he will look in next match.

Odds ML, Alcaraz is 1.13 sa favorite.
In the women's side, there's a lot of upsets already.

Yes I dont think anyone figured the Alcaraz match was going to be a 5 setter, judging
by the pre-match odds anyway. I only saw the last set and Alcaraz's odds were 1.15.

Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, the handicap is like -7.5 or higher for him. I didn't bet though, maybe later when I look at the odds and who is facing each other.
That was a great test for him, his press conference revealed that he is very
mentally strong and said he remained positive right up to the last point.
Zverev had a tough match while Nadal and Djokovich came through as expected.
Tricky one up next for both Korda and Alcaraz when they face each other

Same with Zverev, another come from behind win for him as well. It seems that he is tired on the 5th set and on the verge of losing. But he manages to survived and broke Baez.

2 Croatians already got knocked out in the 2nd round (Čorić was especially disappointing once again - Dimitrov gave him 7 games in total) and our last representative Čilić is having a difficult game against Fucsovics today. I might even bet on Fucsovics, odds at around 3 look really tempting.

What a great comeback by Alcaraz against compatriot Ramos-Vinolas. I thought it will be a breeze for him after winning the first set 6-1. But then Ramos-Vinolas, gets into the zone, and couple of Alcaraz missed drop shots, he was able to win the next two set. And then Alcaraz, save a match point in the fourth and win on the tie break. Then on the 5th, he was down 3-0 if I'm not mistaken with superb back hand pass and win the set 6-4.
I am also curious what Botic van de Zandschulp will do against Nadal. assuming that Nadal will make it to the next round. The Zandschulp's was still 150 of the world around this time last year and is now top 30. Nadal is in a class of his own on clay, would he manage to win the French open again? Djokovic has little support from everyone I think because of his behavior lately.

Too much politics has been in sports lately.
Too much politics has been in sports lately.
it is not lately, it was always the case, but it is a chicken and egg situation
while I do not support Wimbledon to ban Russian players (and Belorussian especially, for the matter), it is a fact that Medvedev rushed to see Putin after winning US Open, so not sure who mixed politics and sport first
I do understand when some heavy lifter, taekwondo champion or swimmer (where earned money from sport is small, especially in emerging countries) are depending on politicians for support, but Medvedev and other big stars do not need to rush to see politicians (and other sportsmen for the matter, as well) after big success, and they do that regularly, so mixing politics and sport first
it is always money all around, those that do not have it (taekwondo, for example) rush to politicians for financial support, while top stars rush to politicians to support their investments in the country they are living
They will all eventually play - they play for money first after all. Winning a Wimbledon will always carry extra meaning as well.
I am glad the players are complaining though, and I am glad that the ATP put some pressure on All England Club. I support the decision 100%, punishing individuals due to their nationality is a discriminatory act and should never be used as a 'balancing' mechanism.

@cryptofrka you’re wrong for this situation because you have conveniently ignored player’s emotions, and secondly why would player’s risk playing with zero points to earn when they can keep themselves fresh for other tournaments, hence I agree with the above posters that we’re going to witness an mediocre Wimbledon this year.
I think it will be a mixture. I'm sure some will withdraw, and equally others will play. Some will be tired and carrying injuries, others will be returning from injury and wanting to play to get some match practice in, some will want the money, some will avoid it because no ranking points, some will still want to play just because it's Wimbledon, some will play just because they're in England anyway playing other tournaments such as Queen's that do have ranking points... it will be a mixture.
