And Rybakina indeed won that final, and quite easily too, 6-1, 6-4. She isnt 5th in the WTA
world rankings for nothing!

Over at Marseille in todays final my hunch about Humbert actually became a reality, unfortunately
I didnt back up my hunch with a bet. Humbert won in two somewhat easy sets, 6-4, 6-3. Dimitrov
to be fair to him looked tired after his 3 setter yesterday.

Humbert also has won every final he was in, 5 from 5, if he keeps going and can perform well
outside France he could be a top10 player.

Yes, Humbert winning the title was a bit surprising to me. Dimitrov has been showing exquisite performance so far, but it seems that 32 yo Bulgarian veteran was exhausted by previous intense matches.

They were both 3 set semi finals. Haddad Maia put up a fair fight against Kasatkina but
failed to pull through. So its a Rybakina v Kasatkina final, I fancy the top seed Rybakina @ 1.29.

Over in Marseille its a Humbert v Dimitrov final!

My guess on Humbert beating Hurkacz came true, he got the job done in 2 sets 4-6, 4-6.
Dimitrov had a tough battle against Khachanov over 3 sets with 2 tie breaks.

Dimitrov is still favourite but I have a thinking Humbert could pull off a surprise victory!

Rybakina should have no issues with Kasatkina, one way traffic expected. Kasatkina's defensive playing style is very physically demanding and I'm sure she doesn't have much fuel left in her tank.

As to Marseille, I somehow suspect Dimitrov is going to win. Yes, he wasn't particularly convincing yesterday against Khachanov. The Russian had pretty good chances to win, his serve let him down a bit. He was even leading 4:2 in third set tie-break but managed to lose somehow. Some psychological barrier most probably.

At WTA Abu-Dhabi no surprises today as well: all favourites are through to the semis and all matches were won in straight sets. Semi-finals tomorrow:

Kasatkina v Haddad Maia
Rybakina v Samsonova

Second semi is much much more competitive and interesting in my opinion. Rybakina is a favourite, but Samsonova played flawlessly in Abu Dhabi, she hasn't lost a set yet! This is going to be a real battle!

ah yes, apologies for the error 🤦🏻

EDIT

So we are all set for the semi finals at Marseille for tomorrow. The matches today went
as most people expected because the favourites won. Its looking more and more like a Hurkacz
v Dimitrov final.

I thought Zhang would have troubled Khachanov today bt the Russian won easy enough,
4-6 & 1-6.

Hurkacz v Humbert - odds are 1.56 v 2.45 - Humbert has been really good this week, I
might do a small bet on him to beat Hurkacz, I imagine it will be a close one.

Khachanov v Dimitrov - odds are 2.60 v 1.50 - eventhough the odds are essentially the same,
I dont expect Khachanov to beat Dimitrov, it will be hard to break Dimitrov's service game.

Quarter finals are set for the Open 13, Marseille and there are no straight forward betting
opportunities IMO.

Humbert v Davidovich Fokina - seeds 4 and 5 play off, I have an itch to back Humbert
again but IDK, he is favourite @ 1.59 and is playing at home...

Hurkacz v Machac - is there an upset coming here? can the french player beat the no.1 seed?
The odds are 1.49 v 2.90, I'm not going to do it but i give Machac a closer chance.

Zhang v Khachanov - I'm surprised to see Zhang big outsider here @ 3.20. He played
great today to beat Felix AA.

Rinderknech v Dimitrov - Dimitrov the second seed is going great in this tournament,
he might even win it outright.

I would avoid the first match as well. Too risky, too close. As to the remaining ones, there's pretty high probability that guys like Hurkacz, Khachanov and Dimitrov are going to win. Dimitrov is sooo freaking good, it should be easy for him. He has good chances to win the entire tournament. Hurkacz has also improved lately, I guess working with that Isner's coach is benefitial for him. Big serve!

P.S. Tomas Machac is Czech not French

Heather Watson had a bad start to the season but found her groove here and recovered mentally to beat Kenin and Kudermetova. Bucsa also managed to beat Wang in three sets. Obviously, we are facing an even match. It should be an enjoyable match.
Rybakina is back on court for the first time since the Australian Open. Danielle Collins, who seems to have recovered from injuries, looked in fine form against Osaka, winning her last three matches without a set. Rybakina is the favorite for victory, but Collins will not give up with her good serve.

Rybakina v Collins live now. The American is in the lead right now 3:2. Was watching Sevastova v Avanesyan in Cluj-Napoca, quite an exciting match and superb play by the Latvian veteran returning from a maternity leave: Sevastova is winning 6:2, 6:5.

I don't know why the new coach was not suitable for him to be honest. but I think his recent performance has played a part in it. there might be something personal as well I don't know. what I know is that he was clearly in a lot of pain in the last match of the semi finals. he was actually playing well even with the forearm injury. I believe he could have gone to the finals of the tournament if he did not have any injury and he was 100% okay

Anyway let's talk about the coach, I think he will be able to find a new one quickly. That should not be a big problem for a player like him. Undoubtedly, numerous personnel will express interest in the position.

Perhaps, perhaps... well, we can only speculate on who could become a new coach of Rune. Who's available atm from the big names? Toni Nadal? Mark Philippoussis? Dani Vallverdu? Or is Dani back to working with Grigor now? Perhaps some academy? Rafa Nadal Academy? Back to Mouratoglou? Any thoughts?

Actually, I don't have any good guesses about it, to be honest. And I am also not hearing anything about who is going to be the new coach of Rune. I literally have no news so I do not start any rumors as well.

But maybe whoever the new coach is, he will have a longer time with the players. I really did not expect the last coach to be already stepping down.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, there could be a personal element to this
especially the timing after that last match where Rune didnt bother to finish it
even though he was losing. Becker probably had words with him and Rune probably
threw a strop and ended the partnership, I could see him doing that.

Just watching an all French R16 match between Gaston and Humbert. I have a bet on
Humbert the favourite to win. Should make for an interesting match.

Earlier Machac was able to continue his good form to beat Musetti who was seeded 6.

Well, it is not impossible for them to have some disagreement after the player had to walk over the match because of injury. It is already frustrating as a player. And I also think it is somewhat equally frustrating as the coach as well.

So maybe they had some disagreement. Otherwise, this is definitely something that looks like happened out of the blue.

That was a short collaboration. Rune and Boris Becker wanted to work together for a longer period of time. But now after 4 months, they have ended their collaboration and Boris Becker is no longer his coach. Very surprising. But it seems to be the case that Boris cannot look after Rune as it is necessary. So there was another coach, Severin Lüthi. But he has also end the work with him. Hopefully Rune will quickly find a coaching team that suits him better.

Offhand it sounds like something similar to that Gold tournament that was supposed to
rival the normal competition organisation ^{I know very little about Golf.....}

I'm still hoping Naomi can get back to winning ways and soon!

Wins for Korda and Lehecka as predicted but all in 3 sets.

I was watching the Gaston v Shapo match earlier and when Shapo broke Gaston in the
third set I switched off but Gaston won by breaking back and winning that set 6-3, that would
have been a perfect time to put a bet on Gaston, I recon he had great odds then....hindsight is great.

Yes, Gaston is through 7:5, 1:6, 6:3. Shapovalov is still on the miserable losing streak, perhaps should consider firing his coach too? Gaston is to meet his compatriot Ugo Humbert in the next round. Some other interesting matches in the Round of 16 include: Hurkacz v Shevchenko, Machac v Musetti and Korda v Dimitrov. This is going to be fun!

Yea, last year Murray was good for the early rounds against a lot of players outside
the top 20 but Machac has been around for a few years and is only 23, he is ranked 66
and Murray ranked 49.

Looking back to this years AO Andy got beaten in the first round, I cant say its going
to happen tomorrow too and he is a good price but I playing it safe and not
betting on him, maybe a bet for him to win a set or something like that?

Hi did you place bet on Murray??

Andy Murray lost the match pretty convincingly, to be honest. I definitely did not expect him to lose this match but somehow that happened. I am not trying to take anything away from the player who was able to beat him, Etcheverry. He definitely played well in this match. I was actually surprised to see Murray not even win a single set. I thought he would at least get one set. But it is what it is.

Sorry for your loss... Cry

No loss, I didnt bet on him or on him winning even a set. As I've been saying his is way
too unpredictable. The odds on him winning were appetising and I'm sure some
people made a bet with those odds of 2.75. IMO that result kind of sets a theme for
this year for Murray for any top 50/60 player he meets. He might get lucky and meet a lower
ranked player in a first round.

Just watching Gaston v Shapovalov ATM and some interesting matches coming up

Korda v Grenier
Lehecka v Goffin

Both Korda and Lehecka should won those matches.

Yes, should be easy money, however, Goffin may surprise us with some extraordinary performance. The Belgian can show some solid play from time to time.

Exciting match between Naomi Osaka nad Danielle Collins today. Collins won surprisingly 7-5, 6-0 (Osaka was up 5-4 in the first set). Danielle will have to face No.1 seed Elena Rybakina in the second round of her deadly draw.

All in all, lots of news recently: Rune fired Becker, Pegula parted ways with her coach Witt. Not a secret to anybody who is close to the tennis world that many players evaluate coaches' performance after AO and most coach contracts are being terminated or extended based on performance at the AO. Frankly, Rune's decision seems pretty logical but Pegula firing her coach after 5 years of cooperation came completely out of the blue.

Have your heard anything about the "6 Kings Slam" tournament? The concept looks interesting...
