Man, what is tennis going to turn into when Federer and Nadal stop playing. The tournaments become more and more boring. Djokovic is pretty much the only superstar here. At least we saw Djokovic being vulnerable against Zverev at the Olympian game. But I really can't imagine Djokovic giving the chance away to take the all time lead in GS wins. I am also doubtful that Federer will return for the Australian Open, maybe he does it one more time, but his end is now coming closer quickly.

That incident with the camera was just what I needed for my over games bet to pass. He seemed very rattled after that game and gave a speech that he will broke the camera into 1000 pieces and not pay for it if he looses the match. I immediately placed a bet on Rublev to win the set and another one to win the match. Too bad it was for very small amounts since it was more like a try at big odds then really believing Rublev can win. Before that incident it was all Medvedev and I was sure I am loosing my initial bet.

Yea "the incident with the camera" seemed to rattle Medvedev. He definitely wasnt
right after that. He was complaining that the court area was too small.

Maybe there is a reason Nadal only played that tournament once?

What a match in the semi final between medvedev and rublev despite being a set ahead medvidev couldnt win against rublev he was the favourite but rublev played his best game of the year especially in the second and third set,performing that well and beating medvedev who is in this great form is no easy thing and i think he will face in the final zverev which will be though too considering zverev is unstopable right now.

Rublev broke Medevedev and just beat him 2-1 and has reached the final. Was expecting honestly a lot more from Medvedev but an amazing match for Rublev. Medvedev after this loss will be again far from the #1 position

Just watching the Medvedev v Rublev match and Medvedev is in trouble, he has just
been broken and possibly again in this game, match point to Rublev....

There we go a win for Rublev, he played a savage game and I lost my bet on Medvedev
but I was able to throw on a quick in play bet on Rublev to break even.

hot and sunny day in cincinnati with 2 great semifinals to look forward to. yesterday was another day in the black with 4w/3l, and a bunch of voided bets due to the retirements of badosa and kvitova. making it 23w/13l overall here in this thread.

as i mentioned all week, i have medvedev and zverev making it to the final, the german takes his streak to 19-1 in sets won since wimbledon, i seriously doubt he will drop one today let alone 2.
medvedev continues his dominance here and i can't see how rublev could trouble him, daniil would love to save his energy for a tough final tomorrow, he will look to wrap it up in 2.
only one bet for me today;
medvedev and zverev double @ 2.1

good luck guys

In fact, it seems to me that Medvedev and Zverev will be much more serious competitors for Djokovic at the US Open.
The real question is actually how much Djokovic has recovered from the shock at the Olympics and how mentally ready he is for this very demanding tournament.
I know that Djokovic has already given up one tournament before the US Open and we don't really know in what condition Djokovic will come to this tournament.
Still, no matter what, even if he doesn’t win this GS, Djokovic will continue to play at a top level for at least a few more years and he will win a few more GS titles and officially become a GOAT.

So, Nadal dropping out of the US Open too?

With Federer and Thiem also out, Đoković's chances drastically improve. He's hunting the Grand Slam ynd a win would also put him ahead of both Federer and Nadal in the list of players with most Grand Slams ever. Federer is leading there for as long as I can remember and a part of me really wants that Đoković does not take US Open.

Still, he'll eventually reach the no. 1 spot - so it's irrelevant when. Shame about the tournament though, it was supposed to be a big fght for no. 21 amongst 3 best tennis players in the history of the sport.

Cheering for Zverev now, but Djoko is taking this home.

i wonder what the odds would be and if any bookie will offer a bet on the top 4 seeds reaching the semifinals at the us open.
since nadal won't compete in new york, it is quite probable that we'll see djokovic, medvedev, tsitsipas and zverev all reaching the semis. thereafter they would be the new atp top 4 for a long time. doesn't zverev move to the top 4 on the next rankings if he bags the 1000 points at cincinnati?

True, so the semis is really a very interesting match.

One thing's for sure, the match will go on a 3 setter here. Not seeing anyone dominating their opponents as this is the top 4 already. So might be safe to bet on the over.

Medvedev might be in his prime form, but for sure Rublev will try to hang it out and might take a set. But in the end, I would agree that Medvedev will have the tools to win in a 3 sets against Rublev.

I am thinking both matches will go deciding set today so my bets are simple over games on a nice tennis double. I am more sure of Tsitsi - Zverev match though so I will maybe double up on it and include in some other ticket as well.

That is his right as well as for any other person. While I believe we should get high percentages of vaccinated people I am totally against enforcing it. It should be a right of choice for any individual. I don't know if he issued that statement by himself or he was asked the question. Anyway that stuff should be private and especially famous people should not speak to public with intention of swaying their opinion.

Before giving you my pick, reading the news, I saw that Tsitsipas' being criticized a lot in Greece (and anywhere else) for his stance on the cov-19 vaccination. In fact, he stated that he'll vaccinate only if forced since he questioned the need to vaccinate for those under 25.
Back to tennis, which is why we're here, although Tsitsipas has dominated the rivalry so far, Zverev has closed the gap this year. This game's gonna be a close affair with a third set separating the two.
IMO, the Greek will eventually win it.

For the first time in a long time we are able to see first 4 top seeds in a tournament to reach a semi final. Also we will have a russian semifinal between Medvedev and Rublev that will be really intresting. But Medvedev is currently in top form and he might win the tournament

 ^ ^

...and there we have it, just like it was ceeded the too four in the semi finals

Medvedev (1) v Rublev (4)

Zverev (3) v Tsitsipas (2)

Very interesting pairings, Rublev will give Medvedev a good run but I think
Medvedev will win, there will be serious power shots on display in this one.

Zverev v Tsitsipas is really difficult to call so I wont, Im edging towards Tsitsipas though.

It was a three set match, AA did manage to win a set, however, his game is not over, he just scored a measly 10. And total games is 26. AA was able to come back strong in the second set, however, he just score 1 point in the third set as it was clearly dominated by Stepanos.


Zverev vs Ruud, I have a feeling that this could extend on three sets as well.

---

So Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Rublev already won, so it's going to be a good semis finals.

Medvedev vs Rublev

Tsitsipas just waiting for the winner of Zverev vs Ruud match.

I'm not very familiar with Tennis and only know some famous player names like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer
in the near future there will be a Tennis U.S open , who is your favourite? if you have a good understanding in this competition you can make predictions on Btb88.com and get prizes

i agree with all your picks in that match, i believe we'll see three sets there and i also think Aliassime can win today, i 'am almost sure that one of the favorites (Zverev or Tsitsipas) is going to lose, and i'am leaning towards Aliassime to win, Tsitsipas seemed bothered by the weather the other day, and it' no good today as well, Aliassime has what it takes to beat Stefanos, i am for sure adding Aliassime to win in my parlay, and if he doesn't win, Ruud to win is my second option.

i meant to post the over 9.5 for paire instead of him winning a set, at the end doesn't really matter as he managed to cash in both bets.

as mentioned before, here are my views on tonight's games;

mens singles;

auger-aliassime to win a set @ 1.75
auger-aliassime over 11.5 games @ 1.85
total games @ 22.5 @ 1.95
i believe this match will be very tight and the canadian has every chance to make it to the next round but it won't be a walk in the park.i expect tsitsipas to at least loose a set here which offers decent odds for felix.

zverev in straight sets @ 1.85
dropped one set in his last 17 on hard since wimbledon and that was against djokovic, i believe he will continue his dominance here and roll through in straight sets, i tip the german to make it to the final this week.

women's singles;

bencic in straight sets @ 2
9 wins and counting, definitely not opposing her streak, maybe tomorrow but definitely not today!

badosa over 11.5 @ 1.85
total games, over 21.5 @ 1.94
badosa @ 2.5
after her solid win against sabalenka, badosa followed it with another great outing yesterday against rybakina, she is playing at a very high level this week and surely must be full of confidence, she will push pliskova to her limit, and i believe she will be too much to handle for the czech. i see this match having a tie break or be decided in a 3 setter or both, as long as the future top 10 stamps her ticket to the final 4.

good luck guys

^^ Yeah, it's time for the young guys to step up now, this is there chance, they only have Djokovic as the only one remaining in the US Open.

I'm also not confident on Tsitsipas, this is not his specially surface, so we might see some upsets along the way. The Rublev vs Paire is about to start, I might go live betting on this one, but this could be Rublev in 2 sets.
