The game is underway, same result in the first set, Djokovic very dominant with a 6-1 win against Medvedev. Although Medvedev is trying to bounce back in the second set, leading 3-4 and there's no break yet.
Good win by Khachanov, I thought that Carreno will win in 3 sets, but Karen blasted him out in 2 sets, score is 6-3,6-3. So he is just waiting for the winner of the Djokovic vs Medvedev match. I lost my bet on Carreno with the handicapped, good for those who got Khachanov, because last time I check he was like 2.x underdog ML.

Nice game we have right now, Busta Carreno vs Medvedev. Carreno took the first set easy, 6-2 but Medvedev is fighting hard in the 2nd set, score now is 4-4. Hopefully it will go to 3rd set to make the match more exciting.
Djokovic though is winning very easy, 6-2, 5-0 now. Nishikori can't do anything about Djokovic's super returns.
it wasn't as i expected it to be, i was hoping for a competitive match but Nishikori disappointed, it was a one sided match, Djokovic did all it takes to prevent Nishikori from coming back, Nole is a monster right now, but i think he can lose a set against Zverev and it could be in a tiebreak, If Sascha's serve is on point today, he can cause troubles for Novak, but to be honest at this point it seems obvious that Djokovic is going to win the gold medal.

Really difficult match to bet on between Djokovic and Zverev. ML odds on Djokovic are way too low and I can't properly judge handicaps since I did not watch them play at all at this tournament. Both played against relatively weak opponents and were not even tested so far. Both won all the sets so far but Djokovic was a bit more convincing. I will probably end up taking a handicap on Zverev if I find good odds for 5.5, maybe even first set +2.5.
I agree, currently standing @1.17 for Djokovic ML. But I'm thinking that with the way Djokovic is playing at this Olympics, he can do it like a 2 set even playing one of the best version of Zverev here. Under 21.5 @1.77 is what I'm thinking to bet. And then do some live betting on Carreno-Busta vs Khachanov good odds for +1.5/-1.5 handicap.
yeah, if someone could make troubles for Djokovic here, that is Zverev, although I clearly not do see this as possibility, he is just too dominant at the moment, and it does not matter what Zverev will play, if Djokovic plays as he can, it will end up in two sets
regarding other semi-final, Khachanov has a win over Djokovic in 2018, final at Masters in Paris, so he could also posses a threat in these conditions, but doubt that as well
it would be good to have at least one interesting match, but that is also far from expected, I expect 2 sets in both matches (semi-final and final) for Djokovic, he is probably more concentrated to double-gold at the moment

In the womens tournament its Bencic v Vondrousova, that should be a really close
match, both players going really well, im not betting on that one.
Your prediction have come true. Bencic played good and it was a retain from Rybakina. In the deciding set Rybakina was in the lead. Then Bencic took the lead, soon after the lead Rybakina got pressured, which was clearly visible. Vondrousova had marked her win against Svitolina with ease on direct sets. The finals for gold will be more interesting. It is surprising to know that Novak Djokovic haven't won Olympic gold in singles. match, both players going really well, im not betting on that one.

I know I am taking Cilic/Dodig +3.5, can't believe they are giving @1.7 odds for doubles final match. Those matches usually break on one ball.

Did not watch the match but I am really surprised how easy Djokovic won this match. I expected hot and moist conditions in combination with home crowd for Nishikori to be enough for a close match. Ah well another ticket lost but at least we have guaranteed gold and silver medals in double 
From the looks of the score, it was really a crushing defeat in the hands of Djokovic. Nishikori is really playing very well in his home court that's why it was quite surprised that he lost at this score, 6-0 in the second set? I have Nishikori +7.5 and obviously I lost my bet.
So who else we gonna think that can stop Djokovic from winning the gold and then inch closer to the golden slam?
Carreno won the match against Medvedev 6-2, 7-6.
@Jating Djokovic has found the Midas touch because he just can’t stop winning irrespective of the opponent or the venue for him only victory matters. Also Nishikori could have buckled up under pressure, because it’s never easy to play against an in form Djokovic.
Big loss from Medvedev makes Djokovices chances of winning the gold much much easier next match against Zverev will be big for Djokovic but how he is playing now i think Zverev dosent stand a chance. Nishikori plays tennis that Djokovic likes and thats why he was demolished
I agree, only Zverev is the obstacles for Djokovic to win gold here. Djokovic is really unstoppable, no one can really match him physically and mentally in this game. He can play at his own phase, lose the first set and then come back to win the next 2 with complete dominance. It might goes an easy two sets again. Zverev can play perfect tennis and still lose to Djokovic next game.
If Djokovic beats Zverev he will take Gold for sure, Zverev is the strongest of the 3
other players left IMO. I really thought Medvedev would make it through to the final.

Djokovic though is winning very easy, 6-2, 5-0 now. Nishikori can't do anything about Djokovic's super returns.
Djokovic won the game easily with 6-2 and 6-0 sets. There is a big quality difference in players, so it's not surprising Djokovic pass the round without showing too much effort. Now he is waiting for his opponent in semi final. I can see him getting gold medal in singles, other semi finalists are not half as strong as Nole.
I wonder if he can make both singles and doubles gold medal. That would be some extra achievement. Imagine having two Olympics gold medals and a Golden Slam, this would be the perfect tennis year for a player ever.

Ok job is half done for Croatians.
Cilic and Dodig really did great job in the first semifinals and now we are waiting for Pavic and Mektic to join them in the final.
What a day for Croatian tennis 😀
Job well done for all the croatians pavic and mektic has joined the other two in the finals and two medals secured for croatia it was a more difficult one than cilic and dodig match but in the end they were the favourite one and no surprises there and seems like the finals will be competitive and i think we can see three sets. Cilic and Dodig really did great job in the first semifinals and now we are waiting for Pavic and Mektic to join them in the final.
What a day for Croatian tennis 😀
Job fully done now! Čilić/Dodig vs Pavić/Mektić in the final 
Both pairs look in form and completed their semifinals matches with style, it has the potential to be a great final. I'm rooting for the Pavić/Mektić pair, although the odds on Čilić/Dodig might be tempting to take.
Anyway, 2 tennis medals, great job. We are going to 3 golds already.

I agree it could be close and Djokovic should win, my bet is Nisihkori +6.5 which should be a no brainier in close match. Put that on treble with Cilic/Dodig and Humbert ML. I already expect to loose this ticket on Cilic/Dodig selection but wanted to include it anyway since I got great odds at local bookie @2,0.
You are joking, right? I expected it to be around 1.30, they are playing against Daniell/Venus. I'm an idiot for not checking things like these, I decided I won't be betting throughout the summer but I would have broken my rules for this one.
They won the 1st set easily and are cruising in the 2nd one, they are 4-0 up currently. They will give a good game to Pavić/Mektić in the final, maybe even win it.
the Djokovich v Nishikori should be the most anticipated match. Home town hero against the top seed and unstoppable Djokovic. It's going to be close but I think Djokovic can win in 2 sets here.

Dodig/Čilić are matched against Venus/Daniell and are big favorites in that game and Pavić/Mektić are probably playing against Sandgren/Krajicek - they are currently in the lead against Struff/Zverev.
Since they are not playing each other in the semis - it means that Croatia already has a bronze medal guaranteed. I'm really confident though that they will face each other in the final.
Called it yesterday, I am also expecting Croatian final here and maybe even surprise result of Cilic/Dodig taking it. Since they are not playing each other in the semis - it means that Croatia already has a bronze medal guaranteed. I'm really confident though that they will face each other in the final.
Knew Tsitsipas will have problems but I did not expect him to loose again against Humbert. Should have put some money on ML as well, odds were much better than my 5.5 handicap.
Yeah, we already know that Tsitsipas will have difficulty in this surface. Lost also on my bet. Quarter-finals are hot, hard to pick who are going to advance, the Djokovich v Nishikori should be the most anticipated match. Home town hero against the top seed and unstoppable Djokovic. It's going to be close but I think Djokovic can win in 2 sets here.
