There's good chance that Medvedev becomes world no.1 if he wins Acapulco. Djokovic has to win Dubai to stay close. It is uncertain if Djokovic will get a chance to play in the US swing of tournaments(Miami, Indian Wells) as he's not allowed to enter the United States while being unvaccinated. He will likely apply for exemption again and it rests in the hands of US authorities. Medvedev will have a really good shot at staying world no.1 until the year end. Its unfortunate to see that a GOAT contender tennis player isn't allowed to play because he doesn't want to inject a vaccine. Not like tennis is a contact sports and the players aren't monitored at all.

I think it's almost inevitable that Medvedev will become number 1 very soon. Djokovic is 440pts ahead, and is defending 500. And, as you say, it's highly likely that he is going to miss quite a few tournaments due to his vaccination status. But it's so close anyway that even one missed tournament now could put Medvedev ahead of him. I can't really see any way that Djokovic remains number 1, there is close to zero chance of him getting vaccinated.

Damn, just saw the video of Zverev going apeshit on the umpire. Don't recall recently seeing an umpire pissing his pants heh. So out goes the defending champ. Makes me wonder how bookies settle this type of thing, I haven't actually bet on tennis and got my pick thrown out of the tournament.

Winner of the day: Peter Gojowczyk, who gets a WO.
bookies handle this one as any other WO, probably, and it depend on each bookie, how they handle that, it could be a void, or it could be Peter to win, but mostly would just void this one, since it was not starter at all
I don't know any bookie that counts walkover without playing as regular bet. I know few that count it as regular play if one game or one set has been finished. All respectable bookies void all ML bets in any walkover situation. Most fair solution for all parties.



WTF happened with Vesely? He destroyed Ćilić yesterday which can happen but then he destroyed Bautista Agut today and that is very big surprise for me. Bautista is the guy in form at the moment. If Vesely can repeat this performance he can even take out Djoković tomorrow. My bet will go on some handicap, should be nice ones like +6.5. @buwaytress this the one for you to play Vesely 2:0 against Djoko

I didnt have any bets on today for Dubai but last night I was looking at backing
Bautista Agut but didnt place the bet? Luckily and yea he has been
performing really well.

Vesely? ranked 123, Beats Cilic in 2 sets and Bautista Agut in 2 also, thats Tennis and
what makes it so interesting and sometimes frustrating to bet on. Well done to him
anyway but he has a serious match tomorrow, it will be a massive upset if he beats Djokovic.

He has a +5.5 handicap on sportsbet.

yeah, Peter is a winner, he gets WO, and pass through

Not like tennis is a contact sports and the players aren't monitored at all.

I don't think he will get an exemption though, the Tennis Federation already knows what is the consequences already as they have seen it in Australia and I don't think the US will want to make a story out of Djokovic. So good if Medvedev can overtake Djokovic and become the number 1 player even if for brief moment. The pressure should be on Djokovic now, to get vaccinated to be able to compete. If not then it's his call.
Thought I saw Djokovic in a match earlier in Dubai. I guess their vaccination policies are different than from France & Australia.
Just as restrictions in those countries are lifted, Australia are starting to allow more flights in and out with more passengers onboard a flight - the fortress moniker has be removed as well, maybe those policies will be lifted their too.
But he still has a 3 year ban put in place from his choice(mistake?) of entering in the country with falsified documents.

There were quite alot of retirements from the Dubai Open/Mexican tournament. I counted three which I had two of those matches on my betslip, so they counted as voided.

Djokovic seems to be looking forward to it again, I read in the news. We can deduce from his statements and thoughts that he will never be vaccinated against the virus. Anyway, of course he is a top tennis player so I only try to look at that. It would be a real shame if he doesn't attend the grand slam tournaments, he's part of it. People want to see his play, he can play magnificent.

Yes, interesting to see Djokovic playing today against Musetti. Looking at the
schedule for Dubai it looks like some of the "Big Names" are there, Rublev,
Sinner, Shapovalov, Bautista Agut, Basilashvili and Murray.


looking at draw, it would not be that easy for Djokovic to pass through, all players that have beat him on best-of-3 matches in the line, first Khachanov, then Bautista-Agut (three wins over Djokovic during career), semi-final should be an easy one, and final depend on opponent Rublev or Sinner should be a bit harder, but nothing special

I remember even GS's, where he did not have this hard line of opponents to reach final

Super match today between Davidovich Fokina and Sinner!

Sinner lost the first set and was a number of match points down in a second set tie break
to win that set and absolutely blows Davidovich Fokina away in the 3 set to win.
Sinner didnt play well in the second set [I didnt see the first set] and Davidovich Fokina
was hitting some amazing winners.

I had Sinner to win but had a real cluster muster of a micro betting session on this match
to break even in the end almost

Sinner to win
@ 1.28 staked 0.01mBTC Then after realising he lost the first set I bet again on him
@ 2.50 staked 0.01mBTC Then thinking he was down an out in the second set I bet on
Davidovich Fokina to win
@ 1.52 staked 0.01mBTC and topped it up
@ 1.12 staked 0.02mBTC and topped it up again early in the tie break 5-2
@ 1.55 staked 0.01mBTC then after he lost that tie break and the set I went back to
Sinner to win
@ 1.35 staked 0.02mBTC then went all in with what was left in my pot
@ 1.01 staked 0.015mBTC

Absolutely crazy, I'm said it before I wouldnt do In-Play betting and thats it, not doing it again.

What is actually the reason that Nadal refers the tournament in Mexico over the one in Dubai?
~snip

it is probably sponsors
Nadal is playing in Mexico, since that is Spanish speaking country, and sponsors probably like it that way, while Djokovic is better suited on Middle East and Far East (he often have sponsors from Japan, Uniqlo for a long time)
nevertheless, Djokovic will vouch for Nadal, since Medvedev could be first if win in Acapulco Smiley, will be interesting to see his performance in Dubai after all the drama

~snip
I think the question is more why Djokovic is playing in Dubai? I guess he can't go to Mexico cause of covid pass.

Djokovic plays Dubai every season, probably sponsors as well

Sinner, Shapovalov, Bautista Agut, Basilashvili and Murray.

The Top6 bar Djokovic are in Mexico so he has a good chance of
winning Dubai and the others in Mexico dont have to face him.

I have a good few micro bets on favourites for both tournaments, the usual
suspects to win.

What is actually the reason that Nadal refers the tournament in Mexico over the one in Dubai? Would have liked Nadal to finally meet Djokovic again after all the drama. Interesting enough though that Djokovic announced he might refuse to get vaccinated in the future and rather skip on tournaments and potentially lose titles because of that. The guy is crazy. He can't be so paranoid about the vaccination damn it.

Tournament in Mexico is much stronger, Medvedev, Zverev and Nadal all playing there. Just Djokovic missing.

Anything can happen over the course of 1 year or less but 2+ years
is another thing. If he can stay injury free he will still be a major force but there
are a lot of players developing their game and 2+ years of development is huge,
so I will go with a 50/50 chance.
The chances weren't 50-50. I'm sure he'll loss, more and more young players are making their entry. He's a legend, no doubt in it. With such a long break and getting on track isn't an easy thing. Even now the players who are around the age of 35 is ruling the tennis world. This won't work for a long, because those are days which were much on tricks and techniques along with stamina. Nowadays the practice and the body strength has a major role as young players give hard competence.

A very good start to the year for Ostapenko and the first title after a long time. Is this an announcement of her big return to the top of women’s tennis?
I watched almost all her matches this week and she was really on fire. Had a handicap on her in every match she was not favorite and ML on the ones she was. All bets passed easy.

She is maybe the biggest hitter in women's tennis and she has all the usual pros and cons associated with those players. When momentum is on her side every ball clips the line and she can win sets 6:0 against almost all opponents. If it isn't her day, those same shots will go out and she will lose sets 6:0 against mediocre players. No plan B in her game and that is why I believe top 10 is her maximum. To get to number 1 she will need to have much more consistency and I don't think that word can be placed in same sentence with Ostapenko Smiley


Alcaraz is set as big favorite against Schwartzman. I feel like this is unfair to guy like Schwartzman and I believe he has enough quality and more than enough experience to make big problems for young Spaniard. I am taking +5.5 on Schwartzman and him to take a set on another ticket. I am a bit afraid for the bet since this match is firmly in Alcaraz hands and he will be the one to either win it or loose it.

More tennis news:

''Jelena Ostapenko secured her first hard-court title since 2019 with a commanding victory over Veronika Kudermetova at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
The former French Open champion won 6-0 6-4 in just over an hour against the Russian world number 31.''

''
World number one Novak Djokovic says he plans to compete at Paris 2024 as he bids to add Olympic gold to his 20 Grand Slam titles.''

''“An Olympic medal, especially gold, is always a big wish,” Djokovic, who will be 36 at the time of the Paris Games, told Radio Television of Serbia.
I rewound my match with Zverev in Tokyo many times, trying to figure out what went wrong," he said. "I played superbly up to that point, but I did feel I was running on fumes, both mentally and physically.”


Do you think that Djokovic will be at the highest tennis level in three years and fight for gold?
Or he missed his last chance for Olympic gold in Tokyo last year?

Ah yes, great win by Bautista Agut in two sets which was consistent to most
if his wins bar one in Doha this year. I will be interesting to see if
he can carry this super form into the next tournament.



In Delray Beach Norrie got past Paul to get into the Final against Opelka, looks
like seeded players 1 and 2 face off against other. It also looks like Opelka is carrying
some good form into this final after winning Dallas last week but Norrie 1.78 is
still favoirite (Opelka 2.05) I think I'll stick with Norrie.

I haven't followed this tournament to be honest, but Norrie as favorite with that kind of odds? I think ML would be great bet already.

For the recent Doha tournament, I did see some highlights an I will say that Bautista Agut has improved a lot.

In the Marseille, France Men Singles FAA again vs Rublev in the finals. FAA is not the favorite, but Rublev has a decent odds of 2.38 ML.
