Yeah, well. About right that the only bet I've thrown into this Italian tourney is a losing one. All over too quickly, and the Greek gods didn't help Tsitsi, he needed everything against the dominant force in men's now. Oldest man to win Roman, 1001 wins, guy even said he surprised himself haha.

Yeah, Djokovic really got into a great start, Stefanos tries his best in the second set, but Djokovic is too good this day. Well time win for him leading to the Roland Garros.

At least you got the Swiatek expected clean sweep, huh Trofo? 28-win streak but it's all up again with Jabeur as favourite for RG. Ons is at 16/1 though... something in me itching for a bet.

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

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.

Tsitispas had all in his hands in second set. Just needed to serve it out one more time and I would have gotten a perfect day. But it is what it is and new tournaments are starting tomorrow. Plenty of opportunity for some winning bets.

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

Yea straight forward enough win by both Djokovic and Swiatek and I would say both
are guaranteed finalists for RG.

The only player able to trouble Djokovic currently is Alcaraz and 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 !!!}. I put a bet on Djokovic to win after the first
few games at 1.47 so not too bad odds.

Finally Djokovic returned to play as we are used to knowing him... as number 1. I missed his performance "out of the ordinary".

It must be said that today probably was not the best day for Tsitsipas.
It is clear that he was really tired, a bit angry. In the first set he smashed a racket at 4-0 against his bag... and even in the second set despite a clear advantage (4-2) he was unable to capitalize on the victory of the set.

What a start by Djokovic in the first set, when I checked the score it's 4-0,

.

Maybe it was not the time of Tsitsipas tonight, and if you give Djokovic that kind of confidence it's going to be very difficult to beat him.

So let's see how Tsitsipas can turn this game around or at least make it a decent first set and not to lose 6-0.

First set ended with clean sweep, 6:0 for Djoković with plenty of winners thrown into the mix. Only good thing about set like this is that player starts second set without emotional baggage. It would be even worse if he lost in tie break. This way I am still believing Tsitsi can make this interesting. He can't possibly play any worse

@Kemarit handicap and not straight sets?

I have Tsitsipas ML, Grin

, odds is too tempting not to bet on him. Maybe this will be his chance to beat Djokovic who knows.

I remember that there is a tournament last year that Tsitsipas was leading, won the first set and was in the middle of the second. However, it was raining so the game has to be suspended for a couple of hours. However, when they come back, it was a different Djokovic and Tsitsipas has lost the momentum. So perhaps this might happen again but this time, Tsitsipas will have the mentality to win.

Last years Roland Garros final, Tsitsipas was up 2 sets to 0 against Djokovic than Djokovic
flicked a switch and won the remaining 3 sets!

TBH I cant see him beating Djokovic in the final today. Djokovic is playing great, Ruud
didnt get a chance yesterday. Djokovic sees the #21 GS ahead of him and this tournament
is the launch pad for RG.

The problem for young players is that they are used to playing shorter matches on two won sets, and they have not played many matches on three won sets and don't have enough experience in such matches.
Due to the rule of three won sets, it is much harder to win the GS tournament because the players need a lot more physical and mental strength, and Djokovic and Nadal have an advantage over the competition here, when they are completely healthy and ready.
However, I'm not sure how much Nadal and Djokovic will be ready for the RG. Nadal suffers from injury and Djokovic has not played many matches this year and has not yet reached his playing peak.
Maybe this year we get another winner at the GS in Paris? Cheesy

I've gone for a 2:1 Tsitsi win at 6.06. He's not even 3/1 ML and I should have been alert enough to get an early final appearance, but I think if he wins, he'll still lose a set. You're talking about the French Open, where he was my outright pick actually, broke my heart since then, as he actually led that last meeting 2 sets before the weather ruined his flow, like you said.

I am also expecting 3 sets here, it seems all their clay matches have a tendency to go the distance. I have chosen safest over 21.5 games @1.86 bet which can pass even in 2 sets. Really can't decided who will take the title and odds for exactly 3 sets is just @2.3 so over has better value.

In the women's final we have untouchable Swiatek against Jabeour and I am taking Swiatek 2:0 @1.55 here. She did not drop a set here yet and absolutely destroyed Sabalenka yesterday while Jabeour looked done and dusted in the first part of the match. This one should be easy even though H2H is favoring Jabeour a little.

Well, I've been so caught up with football I missed out on my usual fav darkhorse Tsitsi taking his place in the final against high-flying Djoko. Don't see odds up yet, but don't expect anything interesting except maybe to back the loser of the first set in the final in live betting.

@Kemarit handicap and not straight sets?

This duel will be intresting but i see Djokovic winning 2-0 in straight sets against Tsitsipas. Also i think Tsitsipas is really tired because of how many sets he played against Zverev ,while Djokovic won against Ruud in straight sets pretty easily against a top 10 player

Really hard to predict how is going to win in this match, Tsitsipas has had a good game although he has to extend a lot of effort betting his opponent as compare to Djokovic who has a good line in the semis.

But I'm thinking of Tsitsipas at least winning a set against Djokovic?

Or is Djokovic really too good that it's hard to win a set against him?

Djokovic will be riding high with his 1000th career win with that match against Rudd to reach the final:
https://www.atptour.com/en/news/djokovic-ruud-rome-2022-sf
Nice cake they gave him after the match with the 1000 on the top.

Don't think he will have much trouble against Tsitsipas tomorrow cause Rudd didn't give him a long match as it was done 2-0.

Now read somewhere that Nadal might be missing Roland Garros due to an ailing foot injury from this tournament.
We will just have to wait and see closer to the start of the French Open.

Roland Garros will also start again soon. Of course, all eyes are on Nadal, but he has already indicated that he is dealing with a nasty injury. There is also another Spaniard who knocked home the entire world top last week. That could well be the new winner. If he doesn't win this year, I think it will certainly happen in one of the coming years. And the audience will love it too.

If Nadal plays Roland Garros i dont see him going far at all in this tournament. His injury looks serious and he cannot give 100% like is expected from him. I think the main favorites for Roland Garros are Alcaraz and Djokovic for sure the best in form so far

What the big three of world tennis have done in the last 20 years is truly amazing.
It’s an amazing fact that we’ve watched the three greatest tennis players of all time play at the same time and push the boundaries of tennis.
Something like that will never happen again in any sport.
There were other good tennis players in their time like Murray or Wawrinka, but they didn’t have that mental strength like these three tennis players..
It seems that Carlos Alcaraz could be the natural heir to these three magnificent tennis players, but it all depends on how he will cope with the great pressure and expectations of the public and whether he will have problems with injuries.

Never say never, but I don't think we will ever see this again (at least not the first 50 years). There are a lot of young and very talented players but I doubt that anyone of them will be able to win 19 or 20 grandslams as Federer, Nadal and Djokovic did. Alcaraz is a big talent but he is very young (19 years) so it will be interesting to see how much more he can develop in the next couple of years.

^^ True, main difference with Djokovic an others are his mental strength (Nadal and Roger has this one as well). So it's really hard to defeat a Djokovic who is focus to winning the game whatever it takes.
