Who do you guys think is going to win Miami's tournament ? I would love to hear what you guys think, so far I'm guessing it could be Alexander Zverev, the odds are pretty high @5, Medvedev the favorite is not doing well this year and I don't think he's going to win this, also Zverev did not win a big one in a long time, this could be his chance to do so, if his serve is on point it is hard for him to lose.

Not really confident but my money would go towards Kyrgios or Alcaraz, probably not gonna happen but both of them can take it and odds are really good. I never make bets on outright winners since there is much more money to be made if you back them in every single match. Those are the guys I am keeping my eye on and betting every round. I have Alcaraz to win 2:0 against Cilic today @1.75.

Well he despatched Cilic in the two sets anyway!

Yea, so far I'm impressed with Kyrgios, If he can continue with his professional attitude
and super form he can go to the final for sure, Alcaraz is definitely a contender too,
neither players have dropped any sets so far. I havent seen either Alcaraz, Medvedev
or Zverev play yet.

The highlight for tomorrow has to be Kyrgios v Sinner, Nick is favourite @ 1.5 against
Jannik being 2.55. Rollbit are giving the following handicap on Jannik +5.5 @ 1.19,
+5 @ 1.22 and +4.5 @ 1.37. I would like to do Kyrgios to win and Sinner +4.5.

Just watching it now, I have my bet on Kyrgios. I heard today that this is Nick's
most successful tournament, he has reached the semi-final's twice.

The match seems a little subdued ATM, both players are keeping things under
control, Nick is very business like, and Fabio is looking his usual lethargic self.

Kyrgios has broken Fognini twice so far in the first set, serving for it now.

Nick Kyrgios was once one of the greatest talents according to the expert in the tennis world. Wasn't it in the top 10 for a while? He is not that old at all, but seems to have never really reached the top of the world. What could be the cause of that? He always walked the track very casually and uninterested, as if he didn't care that much. But in his best days he could beat anyone. Still a good player, but not the player from years ago. Fogninia has also been active on the tennis circuit for a really long time.

One of the unexpected results today for me was shapovalov losing against Lloyd haris and with 2 0 score especially after haris poor performance recently, today shapovalov was really bad 6 double faults in this game, even so congrats for haris even if i don't think he will make it far.

That is just the way Shapovalov plays with taking a lot of risk on second serve, often even serving it as it was first. It is great when it works but looks a bit stupid when it does not go his way like today. Did not watch the match but I saw performances like that from Shapovalov many times in the past so I can imagine

yeah, easy win for Kyrgios and he can make something on this tournament
on the other hand, Sinner is playing Busta tonight, and odds for a win are fair enough to give him a try

without old guards, Medvedev is playing much better, it seems that seeing top ones in a draw makes him less good

He finished the job easy in the end and his serve was never under pressure, I don't think Fognini had a single break ball in this match. Even though I said I will not bet on him I placed a nice multi with him on it. There just wasn't anything else to play on. A bit sad I did not take Badosa 2:0 as well since I already had it on the ticket and then changed it to ML.

Now I just have to wait for Sportsbet to grade it so I can play another night ticket. I am looking at handicaps on McDonald +5.5, Kudla +4.5 and Monfils -3.5.

Anyone noticing Nick Kyrgios at Miami?

He seems to be on a bit of a stormer, he beat Rublev in his round of 64, Final score
3-6, 0-6, thats remarkable! He beat Mannarino in the round of 128 in straight sets
and faces Fognini tomorrow in the round of 32.

Has he knuckled down and taking the matches MORE seriously or is this normal?

Wow just seen this now,didnt follow him in Miami but this results is just insane. Rublev is one of the best players in the world and Kyrgios destroyed him. I think he is finally getting serious,he is back on tournament and i think we can expect big things from him

Yeah, he is looking good at the moment. Talent was never in question, it was always about motivation for him. I am not betting on him against Fognini even though he should win that easy. I am afraid he will do something stupid and lose. I would actually prefer if he played against some big name tomorrow like Zverev. That would be a perfect bet.

He will win against Fognini easily i think. He is much better plus Fognini is struggling on hard court so this should be an easy win by Kyrigos honestly. The only way like you said to lose if he goes into some crazy mode and starts doing some stupid stuff. Who knows what can click inside his head

In women’s tennis, there has been a change at the top.

''Miami Open: Iga Swiatek to become world number one after Ashleigh Barty retirement''
''Poland's Iga Swiatek says becoming world number one is "surreal" after a second-round win in Miami that means she will take the mantle from Ashleigh Barty, who has retired from the sport.''
"I never really imagined that moment because, truth to be told, I was working day-by-day and playing tennis well," Swiatek said.
But I never had the strong belief that it can actually happen. So, it's even more surreal for me.''

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/60885024

Swiatek is a young 20-year-old girl who is just at the beginning of probably a great tennis career.
She has already made history as the first Polish to top the rankings.
Barty had been world number one for 114 consecutive weeks.
Can Swiatek surpass that?
Unlike “boring” men’s tennis, women’s tennis has a lot more changes at the top and a lot more different winners. Grin

Jeez, I've been sleeping under a rock I guess. I just heard that Barty retired - seems like a weird choice at first glance. She could have cruise controlled to like 30 mil $ extra prize money in the next 5 years or so - but maybe she decided she's got enough money already.

The article I read mentioned a couple of other names that I didn't recognise, also GS winners. The only one I remember myself was Hingis as I mentioned above, IIRC was No.1 also at the time but Barty's probably the most accomplished being #1 for over 2 years. Apparently, she was damned good at cricket, and has a handicap at golf, which her partner's active in. Some kind of sports prodigy or something!

Her story should give hopes to the likes of Osaka -- also took a long break in her teens and then came back strong.

P.S. Lost your passion for your job? There's such a thing as passion for job? haha

I wonder if the likes of Osaka and the top 10 on the womens side will be
more driven now that Barty is out of the picture.....hmm it probably doesnt matter really.

Osaka is playing Kerber next, Rollbit have Osaka as favoirite @ 1.37 which is probably
right and they are giving Kerber +7.5 handicap @ 1.13, I've taken both. This might be a nice
double bet on one match.

Pretty easy win by Osaka in this match but i guess you won both bets. Exactly 7 games so the handicap of +7.5 on Kerber is a bearly win. Also the odds were pretty low,but a win is a win and thats important when it comes to betting on these odds

Osaka won convincingly. Bartley has retired from tennis (at least for now). I think Osaka is/was also one of the few players who could really match Bartley. The women's top is now drawing closer together. Bartley was in a class of her own, it's really a shame she stopped at such a young age. Could possibly be the hormones, I suspect she will come back to her decision at some point.

I really dont know why Barty retired from tennis. She is playing the best tennis of her life and wins all of the big tournaments most of the times and to retire from tennis out of nowhere is a huge shock for sports and tennis world. Hopefully she comesback to tennis.

I can't imagine it is worth it to play +7.5 handicaps on WTA. Odds are very low in this case and WTA match can always have 6:0 set in it. Much better bet for me would be Kerber +5.5. Pays much better and WTA side matches are either very close or total stomps. At least those that I look at.

I have a bet on Raducanu tonight even though I don't trust her at all but there isn't much to bet on. My tip of the day would be Thompson to win against Tsonga @1.65, I expected much lower odds so I took this one as well.

Comment that did not age well

Congrats on your two winning choices but this second one you can thank me for. No way it would be exactly 7 games difference if I did not write that

My choices are not going so well at this moment. Tsonga won first set and Raducanu just lost second.

Now that the coronavirus is also slowly extinguishing, can all tournaments soon be played again under the watchful eye of the spectators? Especially at Grand Slam tournaments that was a really strange sight to see. It sometimes seemed like a training party because there was no cheering from the audience. And there are also players who will perform better if there is a large audience. It remains strange that Djokovic simply still does not get vaccinated and that he is refused, unimaginable that he has his own ego so high.

Surely it's very good news for many sports fans and players in many countries restrictions are ended with life is coming to normal after nearly two years, and we will be able to have some good things back like hopefully in coming weeks we will have tennis events without any restriction with full of audience in ground. But recently we have few bad news as well because Ash Barty is already announced retirement and now Nadal is also out of tennis for 6 weeks which is surely the worst news hopefully after end of these restrictions we will have Djokovic in action again in coming few weeks.

Next big event is Roland Garros which is going to start 22nd May with Djokovic is going to defend his title.
