I think Gasquet winning Medvedev was enough for him to believed that he can still perform high level tennis and fought with the best thats' why he is now on the semifinals. He is 35 years old and we have seen his prime but maybe he still has some left in his tank in this tournament and perhaps he could upset and go to the finals and win this tournament.

Medvedev on clay is nowhere near his levels on other surfaces. I play against him every single time on clay. It was 3,2 on Gasquet in that match if I remeber correctly.

That being said I watched Gasquet a bit in his latest matches and he looks quite good. No chance of him winning against best players on clay but he should pass a couple of rounds in RG if he has ok oponnets. He is not a seeded player so he could get someone like Djoko or Alcaraz in first round and that is game over for him.

I got Sousa +3.5 over against Ivashka at 1.90 and Sousa win in straight sets.

While Gasquet destroys Majchrzak also in 2 sets but i didn't bet on the handicap, but Gasquet easily covered it.

So it will be Ruud vs Opelka on semis and Sousa vs Gasquet on the other side. Not yet put my bet here, will mostly go with the handicap again, but we will see.

Yes Opelka v Ruud would have been a great final match up between two top seeds 4 and
2 respectively. Its impressive in its own right that Ruud carried his form through from
Rome so I'll bet on him again.

Its quite remarkable to see Gasquet performing so well right before his home tournament!

And I agree that Khachanov is like hot and cold in this season, very inconsistent and so it's kinda disappointing if you have bet on him and suddenly seeing his performance against Molcan in the first set.

Khachanov has always been that inconsistent type of player for me. Even when he is playing great there will come a match where he just disappears.

Did not watch him yesterday or had any bets, real life got super busy, but I had a bet on him against Simon in first round. Khachanov to win and under 20,5 @1.8 which passed super easy. That was my first time I saw that market on Sportbet and I hope they will keep it for the future.

True, one of the most inconsistent players we have.

I'm looking at Geneva Open quarter finals, I have Opelka -1.5 against Griekspoor. First set already and Opelka 4-2, score is 40-15 but Griekspoor is serving. So let's see if he can break and then serve for the match. Also have Casper Ruud to win against Kokkinakis next.

Opelka already covered that handicap although it was a very close match. He won the first set, but then Griekspoor come back strong in the 2nd to win at 6-3. But I guess that's all he got because Opelka won the 3rd with the same score to barely won that handicap. Kokkinakis vs Ruud is almost on the halfway of the match, score at 2-2.

Yea well that was dissapointing by Khachanov....onwards to tomorrows quarters I'm
going with two bets on Norrie to beat Baez and de Minaur to reach the semi's beating Watanuki.

I too wand to keep some "powder dry" so to speak for RG.

Khachanov this season is really dissapointing. I was thinking before that he had a lot of potencial and talent to be in top 5 but currently for me he is a top 40 player only and even that barely honestly. Norrie will have a hard time against Baez because he is a clay player but if Norrie does what he does he shouldnt have much problems

True, and that's why I take this bet when I saw what was going on in the first set:

Over in Geneva the Quarters are scheduled for tomorrow, the one to watch is Ruud,
he is top seed (no.2) and faces Kokkinakis, also to watch is Opelka v Griekspoor.

Hopefully those top seeds make it through to the semis...

Medvedev was playing Gasquet today and lost in 2 sets, 2-6 and 5-7 in a tie break
at the Geneva Open.

Dissapointing for Medvedev who would have wanted more game time to get up to
speed for Roland Garros next week. It also doesnt bode well for his chances there
especially when Djokovic is in seemingly top form and the threat of Alcaraz and
possibly Tsitsipas. Maybe depending on the draw he can grow into the tournament?

He admitted though after the game that he doesn't feel confident on clay surface. So for sure he will not be one of the favorite come Roland Garros. And he just come from a hernia operation so maybe that's another reason why he is not on top form.

Anyhow, lots of tennis games, maybe will try my luck in ATP Lyon Open. It's already in round of 16 so the game is becoming more interesting to watch.

Norrie^{no.1 seed} has booked his place in the quarter final against Baez, as has
de Minaur who faces Watanuki. de Minaur has been performing well lately.

Couple of interesting matches today, Carreno Busta the second seed plays Coria and
Khachanov, seeded 5 plays Molcan, both seeds should win their matches. They
are obviously both favoirites, I have gone with Kachanov @1.5 to win.

I agree, Carreno-Busta and Khachanov should be the easy favorites so the chances to win is good for both.

I have both of them in a handicap parlay, -3.5 for Busta and then -1.5 Khachanov for 2.38. Just minimum bet for this one as I'm preparing to bet more on RG. Goodluck.

Edit: Busta lost ot Coria 7-5, 6-3 so my parlay is lost already. Nevertheless, Khachanov lost the first set 6-2 as well and trailing the second set.

in terms of Swiatek
I dont think there is anyone currently who can beat her. ^{maybe Barty saw her potential and
decided to retire rather then face her !!!}.

Barty afraid? Nah, she actually has a perfect record against her -- though there is something to be said about Swiatek revelling in an period where the best are either retired or out of form.

...and nobody being able to compete on her level ATM.

Swiatek is playing amazingly, but we can't say that she'd beat Barty if she hadn't retired. Personally I'd still favour Barty, but I suppose we'll never know. Swiatek has lost only 3 matches this year... including the one time she played Barty, just before the AO, and lost 6-2 6-4. Has Swiatek raised her level since then? Yes. Enough to beat Barty? Impossible to say for sure, but Barty was a long way ahead of everyone else.

Anyone been following Dominic Thiem's progress since he is back playing? He was
playing Cecchinato today at the Geneva tournament and lost 3-6, 4-6. He will be
rightly frustrated with his progress.

I had a mini bet on him to win today but it wasnt to be, Its frustrating because be needs
game time to continue building but if you get knocked out early you dont benefit, obvious really

Let's see how this women goes into RG, me thinks as well that Ons might be a good underdog here. Grin

Very good odds, no? Wink

Waiting for final outright rather than winners, as I just haven't been able to pick a winner for yonks unless it was a huge favourite and only time I pick that kind of favourite is when there's a nice promo to go along with.

Swiatek looks unstoppable at the moment. We just need to force her all the way trough RG.

Yes, she really does. Unless Barty makes a surprise comeback? Cheesy

I would love to see Barty playing Swiatek in this sort of form, but sadly won't happen. It's difficult to see anyone stopping Swiatek at RG.

On the men's side, Djokovic's return to form looks quite ominous for everyone else. Nadal is clearly not 100%, Medvedev will be rusty on his return to the tour but is poor on clay anyway, and the usual 'nearly' contenders (Tsitsipas, Zverev etc) are likely to make the later rounds but then fall. Unless Nadal can miraculously get back to full fitness very quickly, it probably leaves Alcaraz as the only real challenger. Hope he's on the opposite side of the draw to Djokovic, or else the biggest match at RG might happen before the final.

The way swiatek is performing is really impressive its been a while since we have seen a women dominating in such a long period of time but the question is can she keep it up which i highly doubt so i think we may see her lose in the grand slam as for men i think djokovic will win the next one alcaraz is indeed a strong opponent and a treat on clay but we have yet to see how he perform in a grand slam.

I put a bet on Djokovic to win after the first
few games at 1.47 so not too bad odds.

I can't believe you got odds like that after first few games. It was 1.5 before the match and after leading 2:0 or 3:0 I sort of expected odds like 1.15 or 1.30 max.

Apologies it was 7 minutes from the start time so I could have been the first game.
