I watched parts of the match and Federer also gave a lot in that match, I am taking handicap on first clay player that plays against him. Have a feeling Nadal, Djoko and Tsitsipas are only players able to fight for the title.

so you are basically saying that Tsitsipas is one of the finalist and Djokovic and Nadal would have their match for another, it makes sense
of course, Tsitsi has to overturn Isner prior to that, but that is still very possible

Zverev is also playing some good tennis, after losing two sets in the start, he is playing solid matches, and even tough he is not a clay specialist, could make things difficult for Tsitsi and Medvedev, because he does not have real opponent till semi-final at the moment

Tsitsipas would be favourite to get to the final, I'm watching him against Isner
ATM and Isner has taken the first set from Tsitsipas, both the first set in this match and
also in the tournament. This is a tough one for him against Isners strong serve.

Because of Sportsbet rolling odds during each match I was able to grab a bit better
odds on Tsitsipas while Isner was in a dominant phase.

The favorites and old masters, Federer, Djokovic have advanced to the next round and Nadal also looks like he is climbing without any effort. He'll definitely whine a little that his backhand needs to be improved, but that's a high level whine.

Federers match vs cilic was the first one after his long break that i saw big parts of and i have to say federer looks pretty good to me. I mean he is almost 40 years old but you can't see that while he is playing. He looked just as good as he did before his break. Tomorrow he is also the favorite in his match vs koepfer even though he has to be careful because koepfer played very well against taylor fritz if federer advances though he is in the round of the last 16 which is already a success for him given the fact that clay is his least favorite surface and his long break.

Federer still plays great tennis, don't get me wrong. But Čilić always gives too much for free to the best players - they don't even have to work hard to beat him. He does it all by himself.
That was always the case, for win against Cilic in his prime you had to be able to return his balls maybe 4-5 times and then you get an error. Now it is enough that you return 2-3 balls and the point is yours.

I watched Čilić against Federer yesterday, it's always the same. 50 unforced errors once again, his 10th loss in 11 H2H games.
I think Roger would beat him aged 50 by simply appearing.

Lol, if that is the case then we should beat against him in his next matches.

Federer though still has it, this is not his favourite surface, but I think he could still win more in this tournament until he faces a young and very though clay court specialist.

Fognini and Delbonis, I can't make out of this match, both are good clay court player, might extend to 5 sets if needed. Delbonis is the underdog, @2.55, might be good to bet on him.

I watched too and thought it would be 5 sets especially when Cilic was able to win the second set and when the third set had to go through a tie break seems Cilic will get that but no. In the 4th set Federer knew what he had to do to finish the match without having to go through the fifth set. Next round Federer will play against D. Koepfer.

Love this term, high level whine. We have a similar term which translates to "god problem" when we play football and someone scored a goal and he isn't happy because he should have slotted in further into a corner or shouldn't have headed so direct etc:) Looks like all the big guys are through setting up an exciting ending.

Weird, when I look at the current score in the ladies side, Barty lost the first set 1-6 against Linette.

So I smell a big upset right now, start of the second set and hope that Barty can come back and take the last 2. Berrettini up by 2 sets already, he might close it out against Coria.

Barty eventually lost very convincingly, 1: 6, 2: 6 which is quite a surprise as she was one of the top favorites for the title.
It seems that in other matches today there were no major surprises and Svitolina, Kenin, Jabeur, Muchova won.
Unlike men's tennis, there are always a lot of surprises in women's tennis and no one has dominated for a long time.
She lost because of her injury, and as she pointed out, she was lucky to even at this stage of the tournament. So the women's side, is open, no Osaka, no Barty. Defending champion Swiatek chances are high although there are still rank players and then some who can pull an upset in this tournament.

Nadal going thru the next round easy again, 3 sets win against Gasquet.

Sinner vs Mager, maybe this could extend to 4 sets? over 33.5 might be a good bet on this match.

Nadal vs Gasquet - another intriguing match, but I have Nadal over 25.5.
I never play over on Nadal matches, he is bully and will play every point like it is super important even if he has 5:0 in the set. I make an exception sometimes when I believe his opponent can outplay him but Gasquet is not in that category.

Barely made it, total score is 26.

Sinner vs Mager in 4 sets as I thought, total score 37.

Barty withdraw from her game, left hip injury, must be very painful as a tennis player, so she has no option.

Good match to watch, Tsitsipas vs Isner - I will go with Tsitsipas here, 3-0. Stepanos hasn't lose a set here and I don't think that Isner will be a tough cookie to crack.

Yes they are all very strong but I don't think all the three will be able to qualify to the quarter finals. At the next round (the 4th round) Roger Federer will certainly meet Matteo Berrettini and odds will be low for an easy victory of Roger Federer. It will be very likely a hard fight for him. For Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal the way to reach the quarter finals will be certainly way more easy.

Serena Williams has been quite impressive today against Mihaela Buzărnescu at the second round of the French Open (6-3, 5-7, 6-1) I think she can reach the final of Roland Garros this year.

If all of the top seeds keep dropping out at the rate they have been so far, then she'll be the clear favourite before long.
It's been a weird tournament so far. But then other sports have had some very unusual results this last year, too. With the lockdowns and the enforced breaks, it can really throw out normal rhythm and normal predictions... and with tennis being an individual rather than team sport, I suppose the effect can be more extreme.

Well I didnt get to watch the match but RF won in 4 sets which was a big win against
a top player, RF will be happy with that for sure, it looks like he is playing better.

TBH I was close to betting on Cilic.



Bit of an upset today on the mens side I think with Ymer beating Monfils. I dont think
Ive heard of this Ymer?

Also on the ladies side with Barty pulling out with injury, no party this year at RG.

The game of the old master Federer starts now, I'm curious how he will do but I think he will come to the next round. Later on, Nadal will play today and imthinkmhe will win in 3 sets. Yesterday there weren't any big surprises for me, for your all any surprises?

will be interesting to watch Cilic vs Federer, it could be advertised as veteran match as well, and one would not seen any difference
I was even questioning myself, is this regular draw match, or they have some side competition for old ones (joking)

nevertheless, do not see any possibility for Cilic to take Federer out, both are out-of-touch lately, but played solid matches in first round, this will be my match-to-watch today, and put something on Federer -1.5

^^ Much better to just parlay 3 matches, it seems that it is really unpredictable. You will expect someone to be a great clay surface players and then take a 2 set lead, lost the next 2 and then tight 5 set.

I'm maybe speaking some games tonight, but I will probably go with Berrettini, Karatsev and Musetti combine either ML or over/under.
