As I have said, F. Auger Aliassime vs Humbert is going to be close and it can go either way. And in the end, it was Umbert who muscle enough energy to close the game in the time break.

So it will be Umbert vs Rublev in the Halle final. I will go with Rublev by 3 sets win.

Yes i'm with you on that, I have a bet on Rublev to win also with Berrettini to win
at queens against Norrie.

Rublev won Rotterdam in March and hasnt featured much since so he will be looking
to win his second tournament at Halle and I think Berrettini will just be too strong
for Norrie [hopefully]

You give me some idea, so I parlay Rublev and Berrettini here @1.90 with boosted odds.

ML is not too attractive to me, so I'm on a parlay to increased the odds. And I felt that the two can win their respective matches here and I do hope that there will be no surprises here.

Berrettini won, unfortunately Rublev lost his match against Humbert so my parlay got destroyed. Sad

Too bad I thought that Rublev had this game against Umbert, but during the first set, he was broken early and can't get back in the match, although he has chances of on two break points but he wasn't able to capitalised on it. In the second set, it was close, going into tie-break, but again, he was overpowered by Humbert as he was very aggressive.

Grass is the best for hard hitters such as Berrettini, Rublev and Humbert, all of them play aggressively, Berrettini won and it was kind of obvious, unlike Rublev vs Humbert, it was a risky one there since both are good hard hitters, and grass really helps, it was a close match between them, too bad for you Humbert managed to win.

As I have said previously, Rublev is not sho-in for the title as Humbert is really playing very well.

So it's a tough call to bet on Rublev, probably the best bet is on handicapped, although I haven't check it prior to the match.

For Berrettini, I really admire his player, grass or clay court, he is on top of his game. Look for him to develop in the future.

It seems to me that Osaka has a predisposition to become a great champion if she overcomes her psychological barriers.

Absolutely agree about Osaka. I have a feeling she would have had much easier time if she played 20 years ago when there was not so much media demands on the players. These days with all TV conferences plus social media it is much tougher on players who don't fish that kind of exposure.

WTA and media should have been a bit more understanding as well. I know it is against the rules but if somebody has serious documented mental condition I think it would be in everybody interest to let her miss a couple of conferences if that is what it takes for her to compete.

Osaka is by far my favourite player on the womens tour and I am still in shock at how
she was not given any concessions for the media duties she had to comply with, it all
seemed a bit blasé at a time when mental illness is getting more recognition about
how serious a matter it is.

It's often about the legends in the men's tennis world, but have people ever thought about what it was like in women's history? Steffi grave was virtually unbeatable in the 90s, was dethroned by Hingis and then came the Williams sisters. Unfortunately, those generations ran into each other, so that no real showdowns were forthcoming.

You forgot about another top tennis player, Monica Seles.
Between 1990-1993 she was the best tennis player in the world and Steffi Graf might never have become the best and won so many GS and other tournaments that Monica Seles career was not tragically interrupted after a fan attack at a tournament in Germany.

Yeah between those years she was able to win 8 GS titles which was an incredible achievement including the record as the youngest player to win the French Open, unfortunately after that incident, she had a hard time getting back to peak form.

It seems to me that Osaka has a predisposition to become a great champion if she overcomes her psychological barriers.

4 Finals GS and being able to win all of them proves her ability to become the next legend, She needs to overcome psychological problems.

In fact, it is a pity that after Serena we do not have a great champion in women's competition, because that is why the interest in women's tennis is falling.

Matteo Berrettini dreams of being the first Italian tennis player to triumph on the grass of the historic London tournament of Queen's, a warm-up cup before Wimbledon. No one, from Travaglia to De Minaur passing through Murray and Evans, has been able to counter his very powerful first serve. Maybe the most lethal weapon he has together with that forehand cross court that can become a pain for anyone. And today's final against Cameron Norrie's nothing but the right prize for this fantastic ride.
My bet is on him

Nadal skipping Wimbledon is bad news for the tennis world. Would have liked to see a final between him and Djokovic. I don't see Federer making it very far. The young players outpace him more and more and he needs a ton of outstandingly amazing days to compete with the younger generation. Who knows, maybe it is his last Wimbledon is he fails early in the tournament.

Nadal skipping the Olympic games and wimbledon is big news. This will affect the tournament big and its quality i really dont see anyone from the younger generations making a dent on Djokovic, maybe tsitsipas to get close or some good serve player but other then that this should be an easy win for Djokovic

it is getting a little boring with Djokovic dominating, i don't see Tsitsipas being the next number one player, maybe Medvedev or Thiem, Tsitsipas showed good quality tennis on clay, but still did not defeat Djokovic, from my opinion i think Thiem would be the next number one player, i have seen him play on hard with no problem and actually pretty good, and also on clay, didn't see a lot of grass tournaments though.

Tsitsipas could become it as well. Did you see the last game between Medvedev and Tsitsipas? Mevedev played like a girl. I know usually he is really good, but Tsitsipas destroyed him without effort. Every time Medvedev hit the ball it looked like the ball crosses the in slow motion. No power and permanently stop balls as the only weapon. I have no idea how he could compete with the best if he plays that way. It seemed like he didn't even want to try to win against Tsitsipas. That was quite a disappointing game from him at the French Open. Zverev may have a chance if he manages his emotions over a longer period of time.

True I also forgot the Olympics, that's sad as well. I somewhere read that Nadal was injured prior to playing against Djokovic at the French Open? I understand he might have to skip Wimbledon, but Olympia as well? Damn they have the best doctors in the world 24/7 at their sides, I wonder if Nadal's injury is really severe or if he is just cautious. Both Federer and Nadal will now keep skipping more and more tournaments while Djokovic seems to be as fit as in his 20s (or even fitter). If he doesn't get frequently injured and has to skip any majors, I have no doubts he will definitely take the lead in the majors title ranking. And to be honest, just by judging him as a player, he deserves it.

Tsitsipas is not good at grass or fast surface, he is a clay court specialist. I'm seeing either Medvedev or Zverev from the young gen to challenge Djokovic in the Wimbledon. They have what it takes, but they have to be 110% ready and prepared not just their body but their mind as well that they can win against the top seed. Otherwise, Djokovic will have an easy grand slam victory again.

The very best who should be able to play well on any surface. There are exceptions of course, haven't federer, Djokovic and Nadal already won all Grand Slam tournaments once? Nadal always excels on clay, but this year Djokovic was too good / tsitsipas is the future number 1

Maybe that now gives Serena a chance to finally win one GS tournament after a long break.

Don't think so. She does not have the constant any more and I believe she will not be able to beat players Like Barty, Sabalenka or Andrescu. They have the fire power to make her run and then her game just falls apart.

Rublev started strong against Basilashvili, hopefully he will continue in the same way since I have him on my morning multi ticket.
