Does anyone know who has the longest consecutive run of wins?

snip

Yes that statistic is controlled by 6 players, Djokovic features a lot, no surprise
there, nice to see Andy Murray in the mix and Pete Sampras but I dont recall
Thomas Muster.

And then on the Zverev vs Sinner, maybe I will go with the underdog Sinner 2.6 ML.

.

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, Zverev is just playing below par but Sinner is slowly getting into the rhythm and there is a possibility of a upset (in terms of the odds for Sinner).

And if this goes to a 3 set then an over bet is also good.

Or if Zverev win this match, Sinner could at least get one game here.

Tricky match to call between Zverev and Sinner, Sinner to win a set could be a good bet.

And the same for Tsitsipas to win a set against Swartzman

That's quite a good one, actually. I think Zverev has been below his usual standards, and Sinner is rising fast and is still under-rated. Those are decent odds for Sinner to win, in what would not be a huge upset at all.
They have played each other once before on clay, at Roland Garros in 2020... which Sinner won in 4 sets.

^^ Still a surprised though that Alcaraz was booted out by Korda, but the match was intense and I thought that Alcaraz can survived this round. But Korda can't be deny though.
...

they both played a high intensity match and in the first two sets they always went to play tie break.
Personally I believe that Alcaraz young age is still evident.
Against savvy or more experienced players it is not the first time that he has struggled to impose himself, just matter of time to see him dominate the field Roll Eyes

!?

Experience is still a big factor in tennis and i think he is really missing it. He won a big tournament and came to the next big one and lost in the first round. That is dissapointing,we see this always in women tennis but not always in mens tennis. Also i think he even didnt prepare much for the clay season

Yes, usually we seen this in the women's side, but maybe Alcaraz body is not yet prime for this kind of grueling tennis run specially in clay season.

Still lot of tennis in Monte Carlo.

Fokina's run is still continuing as he will be facing Fritz in the quarterfinals.

This one is good, Sinner vs Zverev and Tsitsipas vs Schwartzman.

I will be betting on the Over again for the Fokina match against Fritz, Over 22.5 at 1.89.

And then on the Zverev vs Sinner, maybe I will go with the underdog Sinner 2.6 ML.

Tsitsipas vs Schwartzman - Over 21.5 at 1.86.

The answer is quite dull, and not particularly surprising. All of the usual suspects are in there. Plus Thomas Muster! I know he was good, particularly on clay, but that winning streak comes as a bit of a surprise.

Ah we have seen this type of performance before, last year it happened with Tsitsipas
and with Sinner. Look also at Ruud who is out also. I recon its hard to continue performing
at a top level without the body and mind having a break.

There have been some surprises recently, yes, I didn't see this one coming - although Korda is a very good player and is quite under-rated.
I didn't anticipate Djokovic losing, either - even a rusty Djokovic should still beat just about anyone put in front of him.

That is still probably true. I think he would have won that first match against majority of players in the draw and that he would have been better with each match. He had bad luck to play against Fokina, who is in a good form and who wanted that win against Djoko more than anything. I have never seen a player working that hard on every point in the match. Not even in the grand slam finals.

Would not be surprised if Fokina takes the title here. He showed more than any other player I watched so far. Did not see Zverev so far and I believe I watched at least some games from other players.

Korda vs Fritz current match, score is 6-5 Fritz but Korda is serving next. Another good match I reckon, could be another Over score.

Another one is Ruud vs Dimitrov - Dimitrov leading 5-3.

Yea well I had Ruud to win this one also so not a good pick on that match.

Fritz had a tough win against Korda in two sets 7⁷-6⁴ and 7-5, I didnt
bet on that one, I figured it would be too close either way.

Interesting match coming up shortly Carreno Busta v Zverev, I have Zverev
to win this.

Kim Clijsters has officially retired again from tennis and now foregood. She is 38 years old and made a come back 2 years ago without any success. She was just able to play 5-6 matches (which she all lost) and it was always my impression that she came back to make some more money as the chances she would win another grand slam were very low.

will this be the final time too?

Anyway, I always wonder why these "flashbacks".
At a certain age and without that competitive constancy it is practically impossible to win anything decent.
who knows if we will see the Australian A. Barty on the field again ...

Its more than likely about earning some funds, I would definitely expect Barty to
make an appearance in the future. She might be focusing on other things now but
there is a high chance Tennis will call her back.

At the Monte Carlo Masters today Alcaraz got despatched from the competition by
Korda, I suppose it was to be expected given his high performance levels over
the last two tournaments, Pity I couldnt see that 24 hours ago!

And Djoković is out... This was a really good performance by Fokina and I expected him to crumble after loosing 2nd set in tie break but he won that decider easy. i guess Djoko is a bit rusty from not competing but still he was not bad and this match had to be won. Fokina really gave his everything and ended the match with bunch of cuts and bruises. He was diving every other game to get to the ball. You don't see that so often these days

Did you predict this result coming into the match, there is no way i was able to predict this outcome and there were huge bets being placed on Novak Djokovic even after loosing the first set and after watching the second set i knew it is going to be a tough match for him as it is not his day and i had to cash out and it turns out to be a good decision even though i lost half of what i wagged.

No I did not predict it but I skipped betting on it since I expected something crazy from this match. I couldn't decide if Djoko will play like crazy and destroy opposition or if he is gonna be rusty from not competing. That is why I watched the match to make my choice easier in the future. Rusty it is Grin

Djokovic indeed needs game time to get back to his performance and sits currently
on 8420 points

Djokovic won less than 500 points this season, and still sits on top position, which is really good for him, but he has to get back on tournaments in other half of the season to stay there
Nadal and Medvedev are out, which suits him, and Zverev is simply not no.1 player (Medvedev as well, but there is no competition currently there)

IMO, Alcaraz is closer to getting there in medium term, especially with good results on clay tour

Well we just seen a great match by Fokina and a terrible one from Djokovic. Its now known that Djokovic is missed too many matches this season and now it effected his gameplay and monte carlo and with this i think he will lose the first position again. He needs to start playing better and get much more matches if he wants to stay first or win matches

Yeah, probably just a bad game from Djokovic and Fokina taking advantage of it and played perfectly.

@babygun - probably for the money or maybe there is still something in her and thinks that she can make a good comeback. But we all know that women retired early in their career in the last 5-10 years. Just like Ash Barty who retired just earlier, I think women are more prone of the wear and tear of this sports.
