Very good to see Federer back on tour. Its been such a long time since he has been playing.
Hopefully there will be no mishaps and obviously he has a green light to play after a lengthy
recovery from the two operations.

He is playing later today and interestingly sportsbet have him at 1.32 ahead of Andujar at 3.30.

He is focussing on winning games and building towards Wimbledon.

what a terrible start for Roger today, even though it was on clay against a spanish player who preforms well on clay, but still a bad look for Federer, maybe in the upcoming tournaments we'll see something different from him and he will start to get on his feet again.

ATP Lyon Open now:

Karatsev vs Sinner - two of the hottest and upcoming tennis players are going to face in round of 32.
This should be an interesting match to see. Sinner is a slight favourite base on the current odds @1.66, Karatsev 2.19.

Who do you think will win this exciting match? It could be extended to three sets, I reckon.

If Sinner will start hot in the first set and will not be the one doing the catch up, I'm sure it will end up 2-0. But we all know that Karatsev has the mentality and have the tools to come back, so there is no safe bet here.

And then we have Thiem vs Norrie in the round of 16 already.

Same here, Thiem has not been performing very well in the last tournament, so there is a chance that Norrie can pull an upset.

I agree mate, he seems to be fully recovered, and we will see if this will translate to a good year as he is focus on Wimbledon. So let's hope that he can live up to his 1.32 betting odds.

Sinner vs Karatsev, another big test for Sinner here, but I wouldn't be surprise if he disposes of Karatsev in two sets, hard fought match.

Maybe the bookies favorites Sinner's to win in this match based on his ranking, Sinner is higher than Karatsev, at their first meeting Karatsev won 3 sets on surfaces hard, like you said this match very likely for 3 sets Karatsev is a pretty tough opponent for Sinner.

Roger Federer have started playing again he will play at the Geneva Open, and He will face Pablo Andujar, good to see he back on court.

I am going against the popular opinion on this one. I watched Djoko yesterday and he was unbelievably good in some patches of the match. I believe he has more than enough to take at least one set and it pays better than Nadal victory. I even have Djoko to win for small stake, Nadal is not his usual self so far on clay. Should be a good match however it ends.

Wasn't able to watch one of the matches in this tournament, but also placed a handicap bet on Djokovic based on your input. Not a fan of Djokovic, but will, for once, be happy when he wins lol Grin

The women's section final, it looks like Swiatek will easily win the match against Pliskova, the first set winning 6-0. Their first meet was last year on clay and it had to last 3 sets but apparently not for this game.

Edited: Swiatek won straight sets 6-0 6-0, I don't think this is the ideal final that's tennis lovers want to see

Wow, nice win of Swiatek! This must be one of the one-sided finals of the last few years.

That's the worst result for a tennis player and this at a WTA 1000 final -> unbelievable!!!

At ATP:

As clearly as Djokovic won the second set, so stronger Nadal fight back in the third set. Nadal is simply a class of its own on the sand, also Rome has Nadal won 10 times.

Nadal wins the final set 6-3 after losing the second 6-1.

Master of the clay out, his definitely in his element, congrats to the lad for his 10th Rome Masters title.

While on the ladies side we have Iga Swiatek who was the 15th seed won Karolina Pliskova 6 love 6 love close to a reverse scoreline against her twin sister,

for a final this was a ruthless score line perhaps lack of respect to some degree from the teenager, i guess age is everything in a game of sport.

Congrats to IGa on Breaking top 10

Edited: Swiatek won straight sets 6-0 6-0, I don't think this is the ideal final that's tennis lovers want to see

I had a strong feeling that Iga would win the encounter, especially after she dismantled 2 great opponents in Svitolina and Gauff in straight sets. I was expecting better from Pliskova though but Iga's defensive prowess and the ease with which she moves around on clay surface definitely came in handy. Pliskova anyways, is a tall hard court player who likes to hit winners by going for corners, not that easy on clay but surprisingly, she did it consistently enough to reach the finals. Too easy for the current French Open champion though.

I agree, she seems to be moving very well and there are images of here with twisted ankles but still she came back strong and bet Pliskova easily.

French Open will be a big test for Swiatek now, but with the strength of her winning this tournament, she will be one of the favorites together with Rafa.

Oh yes, both Swiatek and Rafa had super games, cant believe Pliskova had two Bagels,
her service wasnt working well at all. Swiatek though was very very strong, great performance.

Rafa had a tough one though, I really thought after the second set that Djokovic was in
the ascendancy but Rafa fought hard to get back and win.

RG will be very interesting.

^^ As long as the big 3 is still winning, these young generation will have a hard time against them. We might see Federer coming back again to join the party so it will be very difficult unless someone really step up their game.

As expected, Nadal is in true form and it will be hard to beat him at the French Open. Djokovic really push him in the finals, but Nadal still prevails.

The young generation is coming closer and closer but they need to take the next step. If Thiem could reach the final of the French Open again and win it against Nadal, than the turnaround is really started.

So it's Nadal who win and in 3 sets. And as Djokovic said post interview, they are the new generation of tennis. Perhaps he was joking, or really wanted to send the message out there that they are still going to fight and win every tournament even if we have the young guys coming in from behind.

As for the ladies, damn, that score, if I'm not mistaken that 6-0 is like 100x or at least not allowing your opponent to score is very huge odd, and Swiatek did it twice in a finals game.

Since Leicester won the EPL in 2015-16 season, the bookmakers have regressed when it comes to giving out massive odds. Even though the actual odds of that even to happen would be about 60-70x, the book makers are giving at best 36x for 6-0 scoreline(from what Ive seen). You will never find the odds of 5000x that was given for Leicester to win the league after that season. they have reduced max odds to hundreds instead of thousands. Which in a way discourages gamblers to put money on very unlikely events.

Nadal wins the final set 6-3 after losing the second 6-1.
This made him the first player in history to win the Master Championship 10 times .
Now he has become the first historical player to do so in two different tournaments .
No matter what opponents he plays if he is fit enough he is nearly impossible to defeat on clay.

Both really play great tennis, I thought that there will be an upset when Djokovic took the second set and it seems that Nadal doesn't have any answer. And Djokovic made the match more exciting to me, although I lost my bet.

Nadal is still at his prime, maybe it will take years before someone can really challenge him in clay court.

Big congrats to my fellow country men Pavic/Mektic on another title, they really took doubles tour as their own playground this season. Nobody came even close to their results. I was always wondering why they aren't playing together before.

6 trophies and 3 master trophies this year, and still very likely to increase because there are still about 4 more masters tournament, and of course it will be more complete if they can win the GS, this is a great achievement for them.

Every time one of the big three wins a title there will be a new record, and it will be even more difficult for a young player to surpass the big three records.

So now the dream match up, Djokovic vs Nadal in the finals. I will go with Nadal, this is his surface and just in time for him to peak. I will say Nadal by 2:0, hope there's no more rain delay.

I also think and hope that nadal wins against djokovic. Both players are absolute legends and without a doubt in the top 5 of all time greats (Federer is No. 1 obviously) but i think on that surface nadal should still have the advantage. I also have to say that i did not really like the way djokovic behaved in the last few weeks and months on the court with his complaining all the time. So i would indulge it nadal more.
1-1 so far after two sets.. Momentum should be on Djokovics side now after he won the second set with 6-1.

I wanted to play on Swiatek but odds were very low so I skipped, I guess bookies saw it coming. You don't see bicycle every day and especially against player Pliskova who is usually very solid on her serve.

Big congrats to my fellow country men Pavic/Mektic on another title, they really took doubles tour as their own playground this season. Nobody came even close to their results. I was always wondering why they aren't playing together before.

And now starts the main event, players just worming up while I am writing this. Hope for a 3 setter and lots of good tennis.
