I don't really think that nadal is the clear favorite in his semifinal against berrettini. I mean he just came back from an injury, we should not forget that. I saw his match against shapovalov and i have to say that nadal Was pretty lucky that he won that match. He was complete exhausted in the last 2 Sets and i think he really can thank shapovalov that he made so many easy and totally unneccesary return errors in the last Set otherwise i am pretty sure that nadal would have lost that match.
If he is able to get a quick 2-0 lead in Sets against berrettini too then i think nadal will win. If not it will be very hard for him.

I have high hopes for Shapovalov to win that match especially when he can make the match to 5 sets, not thinking that Nadal still has enough energy for this match but unfortunately Shapovalov is too insistent with his service so it becomes a lot of mistakes, that's the weakness of young players often wrong strategy in dealing with experienced players like Nadal.

Sinner vs Tsitsipas, Tsitsipas 2 sets ahead I think it's only going to last 3 sets, his game was very solid this time and Sinner still looked nervous even after 2 sets.

@Cnut237 the absence of Djokovic has definitely boosted Nadal’s confidence, and it’ll be a disappointment if he now fails to win it. @aoluain while Berrettini looks good, but Nadal seems to hitting top form hence beating him now is very difficult hence I expect Nadal to win and proceed to the finals, and let’s hope we get some good odds for him for the finals.

I'm starting to think Nadal should be the favourite for the title. Obviously him and Medvedev are the big two, and Nadal had a 5-setter today, but...

Nadal plays Berrettini in the semis, and Berrettini had a 5-setter, too. This is arguably the easy draw for Nadal, given the other semi is likely to be a really tough one, Medvedev vs Tsitsipas. Whoever (probably Medvedev) comes out of that the winner will probably be more tired than Nadal come the final.

This next match between Nadal and Berrettini should be another good one.
I think I will back Berrettini, he seems to have found that fighting spirit while
Nadal is still not 100% fit.

There is another very interesting one coming up, Sinner v Tsitsipas with Sinner
being favourite 1.68 - 2.20. I would have thought Tsitsipas would be favourite,
does Sinner have it to go to the Semi's? I would love to see him do it.

@Yaunfitda yeah managed to tune in a little but work's a bit tough on Mondays so I'm going to have to wait till a bit later to see if I can catch it, but hopefully Tsitsi gets out of this intact before then.

Yep, it's a lot of work, but I still managed and won on the Tsitsipas match.

Got to see the match between Monfils and Berrettini because I put and roll the money on him from the Tsitsipas win, -2.5 at 1.87. He won comfortably the first set 6-4, but still a lot of work to do for him as Monfils is not an easy opponent.

Too bad with your Monfils vs Berrettini bet, it was very close and the handicapped is just -2.

On the women's side we might see some upset?

Kanepi winning the first set against Swiatek, just the start of the second set though, but Swiatek needs to play perfect from here to get back and win the match.

Madison Keys vs Barty on the first semis tomorrow.

Shapovalov will have a hard time sleeping tonight. He looked like a winner after the 4th set but feels like he gifted this one away. Nadal being Nadal taking his opportunities and that's worth a new semi for him.
Burned a lot of energy today so let's see how restituted he is on Thursday.

Looking forward to this semi, going to be a thriller. My money is on Berrettini but getting past Nadal is always a huge challenge

Quote from: Trofo on January 25, 2022, 06:39:24 AM

Berrettini looks too good for Monfils at the moment. Basically both guys are holding serves until Monfils gets a bad game. Feel like there could be some drama in this one if only Monfils manages to get one break. I expected another 5 setter here.

Nice prediction there Trofo.
Looked like Berrettini would take a "easy" 3-0 after the first two, but Monflis fought back and dominated the 3rd and 4th set before being completely outplayed in the 5th and losing 2-6.

I'm afraid that if the match goes longer, Nadal's chance of winning will only go lower because he has aged and he will get exhausted more compared to Shapolov if the match gets longer and longer.

That was logical assumption but Nadal experience and calm proved to be enough in the 5th set. Shapovalov was a bit rash and gifted an easy break and later on Nadal did not even give him a chance after confirming that break. It was last game where Shapovalov had chance to turn it around once more.

Nadal won the mental game once again, Shapovalov should have been on top after getting back to 2-2. He probably got too tired, both mentally and physically.

Nadal has played a million of matches like these, he took advantage of his experience and calmly waited for his chance that came early on in the 5th set.
Whoever wins today will be an easy semifinal draw for him, the lower part and the battle for the 2nd finalist will be much more interesting.

^^ Nadal won the first 2 sets very easy, 6-3, 6-4, but Shapovalov turn on the heat on the last 2 and now leading the 4ths set 4-2 and serving.

So by the looks of it, we are going to see a final set, I have Nadal winning here by ML, super boost on Sportsbet and I put a decent money because I think Nadal will have a 3 set win. But now it's going to be a tough match for him and he will be extended in 5 sets for the first time in this tournament.

Nadal seemed very good in the first part of the game but Shapolov has recovered that and paying him back.

I'm afraid that if the match goes longer, Nadal's chance of winning will only go lower because he has aged and he will get exhausted more compared to Shapolov if the match gets longer and longer.
Let's hope that the best player wins.

Nadal will want to convince everyone 4 hours definitely will have taken its toll on the man, but I feel like this just made him an even stronger contender. Not sure of the routes but does anyone know if he gets to meet Tsitsi if both get past QFs? That's still something I haven't quite figured out how to look for.

Quote from: jostorres on January 24, 2022, 02:42:04 PM

Shapovalov vs Nadal surely it's going to be very cracker match because history is also having some interesting facts both have 2 - 2 in last four matches and after giving shocking defeat to Zverev now his confidence is very high, and he can do another upset against clay king Nadal, but it's going to be not easy for any player.

Definitely didn't disappoint. A bit surprised this didn't end up as an epic final set, but gotta give credit to the Canadian for showing up (albeit only to delay the inevitable).

After the Madison Keys win I was able to see most of the first two sets and Nadal looked like he was in a trance (not focused, just trance like) while his oponent was trying to channel his inner JohnMcEnroe.

I don't think even McEnroe would ever have used the word "corrupt" but yeah pretty grinworthy Wink

I nearly did the same thing I did a couple of days ago. I logged into nitrogensports.eu and was about to start placing bets on my list of women's games I feel will win then realised I'd done wagers for the day prior, but had included the following day too.

Which is Okay when they win as they had been doing, tough when they loose as a few of my selections have done yesterday.

Hmmm, Havent done that myself yet. Yea fine if they are winners!

Just watching the live scoring on Google, this is looking like another 5 setter.
Shapovalov has done well so far in this match to get it to 5-3 in the 4th set.
This could go either way.

...so its gone to a 5th set, it seems even enough based on set results

3-6
4-6
6-4
6-3

Do you think Rafa will have extra motive to win this year, I know it will
be tricky for him but to win this 21st slam and get one up on Roger and Novak
will be something very special. ?

Rafa will have extra motive but I don't think he has a chance. Medvedev, Zverev and quite possibly a couple more players like Rublev, Berettini and Sinner have much better hard court form at the moment. Despite his age I still think best of 5 works in Nadal favor so Nadal will do well but I don't see him getting to the final. Semi final seems like most probable exit point for him since he has solid draw.

snip

Lets see if he can go at least 1 step further.

After few hours we are going to have another very exciting match between Krejcikova vs Keys even Krejcikova is doing very good from start of this tournament but Keys hard work also paying good dividend as she is also doing very good in this event and have equal chance to reach into last four.

It will probably be a good match, but in the long end, given how good Nadal is playing this tournament, he will probably win it in 3 or 4 sets. I didn't expect Zverev to loose also.
In the long end Tsitsipas won with 6-4 against Fritz; next round he will play against Sinner.

I am not at all sure that Nadal will have an easy match with Shapovalov, despite all the matches already held at the tournament. Although, of course, it is in Nadal's interests to finish his matches as soon as possible due to his not so young age Wink

Still, this court cover is not a crown for Rafa, despite all his successes on the fast surface. Although I sincerely wish Nadal success in this match and go as far as possible in this tournament. Tsitsipas had a tough five-set match and at times was not as convincing as his American opponent. But still, in the end, Taylor Fritz faltered, making mistakes at key moments in the endings of the fourth and fifth sets and allowed Tsitsipas to become the last participant in the quarterfinals.

Čilić was playing well - but if you lose both tie-breaks you will eventually lose the match. Aliassime was better in the key moments and in tennis that is often the difference.

I'm most looking forward to Nadal - Shapovalov, Shapovalov was fantastic against Zverev. I will go as far as to consider him a favorite.

Shapovalov performance improved in this tournament by each passing game his game against zverev was the best so far but will he be able to perform that well again against nadal i highly doubt that i would go with more than 3 sets for this game since i think it will be competitive.

Competitions for women can often go either way. Service is much less determining. In the past there were a number of players with hard serves, the Williams sisters for example. I don't see a favorite yet for the women's win at the Australian open. With the men it should be that Russian but he had a hard time in the last round. Nadal is also doing well and a mountain of experience. I have read somewhere that Djokovic could lose his number 1 ranking in the world.
