I overlooked the "Home Olympic game" factor TBH.
It must be a big boost for guy like Nishikori who left for USA to train very young. There is not many big tournaments in Japan so this is his "once in a lifetime" chance to play on biggest scene in front of home crowd.

^^ Yeah, I agree, it is also unpredictable:
Nishikori vs Rublev - huge upset, Nishikori won. But we all know that the game was held in Japan and the weather is hot and for sure Nishikori is more adjusted to it.
P. Kohlschreiber vs S. Tsitsipas, third set now, 6-3, 3-6 in two sets, so 1/1, third set is 3-3, gonna be close but hopefully Tsitsipas can pull it off.
I was not happy to how it got in nishikori vs rublev game because i made a bet on rublev i thought that with nishikori a bit out of the game since wimbeldon that rublev will get past him but that was not the case maybe the weather played a role in it as you said and for tsitsipas he won with difficulties and with this performance i dont think he will make it far. Nishikori vs Rublev - huge upset, Nishikori won. But we all know that the game was held in Japan and the weather is hot and for sure Nishikori is more adjusted to it.

Ah for me that game was too close to make a call, Rublev has not really been performing
but neither has Kei. I overlooked the "Home Olympic game" factor TBH.
On the ladies side there are more appealing matches with better odds than on the mens side:
Osaka v Golubic
Sakkari v Stojanovic
Muguruza v Wang
Pliskova v Suaraz Navarro

Naomi has won her first round, so I'm really happy for her.
And Barty is out!
I need to pay more attention to the ladies...
Naomi was expected to win and she was my only pick (-3.5) from ladies side. Naomi is the most complete player on WTA tour for me and if she manages to overcome her mental issues she could rein for a long time. Happy for her as well.And Barty is out!
I need to pay more attention to the ladies...
Bigger surprise for me was Nishikori win against Rublev. I guess he likes to play in his home country.
Murray pulled out from singles but he will still play doubles with Salisbury. He has a small thigh injury and physios told him to not force it.

Tsitsipas won already 6-3 in the 3rd set. He broke Kohlschreiber and that's what he needed, as he didn't let him score after that huge break.
Some good seed in the womens side is also winning, including home town crowd favourite Naomi Osaka.
Djokovic vs Struff tomorrow, Dkokovic -5-5 favourite at 1.85, I think he can cover it.
Oh yes, he can cover that for sure, 1.85 is a decent price.
My two bets with Tsitsipas and Swartzman have been realised but Andy Murray
has pulled out of the singles tournament while continuing with the doubles, recommended
by his medical team
Max Purcell replaced Murrays place against Felix AA and wins, thats an upset.
Naomi has won her first round, so I'm really happy for her.
And Barty is out!

Djokovic as expected won in straight sets and went in under 16.5 games as well. 6-2 6-2 for Djokovic,also the weather was too hot today in Japan today anyone who have watched the game seen that Djokovic isnt used to this weather currently.Djokovic is playing against Struff in the next round and that wont be easy at all
again, Djokovic is still on fire even after the transition from grass to hard, but i don't think he can win the gold medal, he's playing so good that makes you think he can't lose but you know he's going to lose a match for sure, you know it's gonna happen at some point, i would be really surprised if he managed to win the gold medal, for me who i think is going to win it, is Medvedev, he gets angry sometimes, but he can't be under pressure, even when he was not well known and he played against top 10 players, he kept his cool, he is the favorite for me to win the gold medal.Djokovic won without too much effort, his opponent Dellien played for the first time, he was so excited about the game. Medvedev also passed first round. Now today we will watch other favorites Andy Murray and Tsitsipas, also Monfils will play. I expect all of them to pass to next round with 2-0 set wins. There won't be any surprise results in first and second round. I think we will see more competitive matches after quarter finals.
There are still opportunities to make some winnings, even with low odds in these early rounds.
Some really close hard to call games coming up today, Fucovics v Hurkacz
Murray v Felix AA
Rublev v Nishikori
I'm playing safe with bets on Tsitsipas, Swartzman and not so safe with Felix AA.
This will be my first time betting on any Olympic sports, I really hope all 3 win for my maiden bets!
I also had a parlay bet on the ATP Los Cabos, Mexico tournament, C. Norrie and J. Isner at handicap -1.5. Hopefully my winning streak will continue.
Sad to break you the news that Isner lost in this match against Nakashima. Although Norrie won convincingly and more than enough to cover the -1.5 spread.
Yeah, unfortunately, Isner lost in a two setter, he never has a chance to come back and force a 3rd set.
Luckily, got two wins back with the Kopriva vs Ruud and then Gaston vs Djere match.
So finals setup, Ruud vs Gaston, I might go Over 19.5 with this match currently at 1.91 odds.
I'll catch up with the Olympics thingy later.

Wow, Čilić - simply wow. He did it so many times already, I think it cannot frustrate me any more, but somehow he manages to do it time after time again.
He had 5-0 and 40-0 against Joao Menezes, he didn't use neither of like 10 match points, he managed to lose 6 games in a row and then ultimately managed to win 9-7 in tie-break. At the end, he made me cheer against him, even if he's a Croat and is representing us at the Olympics.
Such a frustrating guy, it would have really been fair if he lost.

Yeah simply an incredible match that didnt happen in a long time. Cilic with such experience letted this happen and then ended up winning the match bearly. I dont know how far he can get but this win should have been in straight sets

Wow it was a really unexpected game i almost made a bet on him in the third set we all thought the match was over at 40 0 but menezes had another say and after that big performance i wished for him to win i think this is the best game of his careere and it seems that we will see a lot of surprises on this olympics.

Damn, did not watch Cilic antics this time since I was driving to the summer house but I just know the feeling. He is such frustrating player even when he is in form let alone when he isn't at his best. To be fair he got me some nice bet wins over the years, still remember when Del Potro turned him in Davis cup final. I placed a bet on Del Potro to take 3rd set and another to win the match when he was 2:0 down and started to put pressure against Cilic in 3rd set. He had 5-0 and 40-0 against Joao Menezes, he didn't use neither of like 10 match points, he managed to lose 6 games in a row and then ultimately managed to win 9-7 in tie-break.

Such a frustrating guy, it would have really been fair if he lost.
Watching Ruud vs. Kopriva just now and I must say this Kopriva guy has some power behind his ground strokes. Too bad he is making too much unforced errors to really push Ruud.
I'm also watching the Ruud vs Kopriva match, as Trofo said, too many unforced errors, the game will be much closer if not for that one. Ruud already taking the first set 6-3.
As for the Djokovic match, yeah the heat might affect him eventually as he is not used to this kind of humidity and weather.
Wow, Čilić - simply wow. He did it so many times already, I think it cannot frustrate me any more, but somehow he manages to do it time after time again.

If I may add some tennis in the Olympics, Medvedev won a tough match against Bublik 6-4, 7-6 (10/8). Poland's Iga Swiatek also won in straight sets against Mona Barthel, 6-2, 6-2.
Djokovic might play later and Osaka so let's see.
Gaston vs Djere now is live, hard to predict who are going to win, but I would say. that Djere might take this one in 3 sets.
And then Casper Ruud will end Kopriva's giant run in this tournament with a 2 straight sets win prediction.

I seeing a Djere vs Ruud in the finals here. Djere -3.5 is a good bet for me.
But I won't do a parlay though, much safer to do a singles.
