I think Zverev is riding on that big win against Nadal. So for me it will be Zverev in 3 sets against Thiem.
Ruud vs Berettini - Again Ruud winning very easy against Bublik, 6-1 in the second set. He is more rested than Berritini who won in 3 against Garin although he bagel him in the third. But I will give my good on Ruud, I think he has face high level opponents and closing them in just 2 sets.

With todays loss from nadal only 2 favorites are in it to win it
Thiem and Zverev but i wouldnt be suprised if an underdog from the back wins Madrid. Really hard to predict matches on clay lots of suprises

And they are going to face each other so only one seeded player are for sure going into the finals.
The other hand, Ruud vs Berettini, I would go with Berrettini here, he is the underdog in this fight, but I think he has more experience and if I'm not mistaken, recently capture a clay court tournament?
for the Zverev and Thiem, H2H Thiem is leading, 8-2 overall and 4-1 in clay, and he is the underdog so the risk is high for Thiem but the reward is good.
We are completely wrong in our prediction, on the contrary, Zverev won 2:0 against the best court player in Nadal. I don't think that Nadal is losing step, it's that that Zverev really played a perfect game today.
Yes, really wrong, I hope this is a sign that for the French Open this year there will be a new champion or at least not Nadal who is back in the championship.
So it's Thiem vs Zverev, I still leaning on Thiem to win here, next to Nadal, I would say that he is the next best player. So let's see if Zverev can continue his winning or Thiem will stop him here. 2:1 for me - Thiem.
And you know what, in h2h Thiem is far ahead 8-2, tournament seed Thiem is in 3rd Zverev 5, but in the betting market, Zverev is the favorite to win this match, it looks like the win over Nadal has an impact on the betting market. I have the same prediction with you Thiem won by 2-1

It was really disappointed to see Nadal lost in a two setter, I thought that he will comeback in the second set and make the match more exciting.
And I agree that his win really affected the betting odds on his favor, but as you have said Thiem has the numbers as far as head to head is. Thiem though is notoriously known for being a slow starter so Zverev can take the first set and then Thiem coming back in the next 2 to win the match. And I wouldn't be surprised if there will be tie-breaks as well in this game so watch for it if you are going to live betting.

The Nadal vs Zverev match will be interesting, but I think it will end up 2:0 in favor of Nadal. Rafa so far has the easiest route and this is the first time that we will be tested. And he hasn't lost a set in those match, so I reckon it will be the same against Zverev, who somewhat has to dig dipper in the 2nd set as he was force to a tie-break.
I don't think that Zverev can win a set against nadal. Zverev also has not lost a set yet in this tournament but that is not so special to me because both of them only played 2 matches so far
. If zverev has a good day than he can beat everyone but nadal on clay is something different to me. If he reaches a good form or even only a average form then there is not much that other players can do against it on clay. He is already 34 years old so maybe the gap between him and the other players is already getting closer but as of now he is still ahead of them.We are completely wrong in our prediction, on the contrary, Zverev won 2:0 against the best court player in Nadal.

^And Nadal is out in another straight 2:0 loss. he is definitely not in his best shape on clay this season. Did not see the match but this result is very surprising. Best thing about this result is that bookies have put Zverev as favorite against Thiem. I am taking Thiem win for high stake immediately before the odds drop. H2H is 8:2 for Thiem and clay is his best surface.
Getting ready to watch evening part of the program now, I have bet on Ruud to win 2:0 since he was great yesterday. Not sure about Beretini match, I went with over 21.5 games but that was just for fun.

Yeah, Zverev pulled the biggest upset so far, it ruined my parlay as it started on Nadal winning 2:0.
I think Zverev becoming the favorite against Thiem is due to his performance today. And this is good though, we can put a beat on Thiem with that attractive odds.
Good call on the Berrettini match, it was over 21.5 so a win for you. I have Berrettini 2:1 with good odds as well, so still a win for us.
@Joca97 - I have Ruud and Berettini as outright bet to win this tournament @11.x a piece, I do hope that you are correct that an underdog can win this tournament.

Rublev,Tsitsipas and Medvedev lost today
Some big names lost already in the early part of the tournament witch makes Nadals chances a lot bigger now to win Madrid easily

For me also a surprise that Rublev lost, I'm also curious how Thiem is doing with Isner. So far, Thiem has won his games confidently after the break. The match between Zverev and Nadal will certainly be interesting, but assume that Nadal will win the match in 3 sets.
Matches today.
^^ That's what I'm talking about Karatsev, lately he has been tearing tournaments and even beating Djokovic. So I can say that he might be not as young as today's highly touted generation of players, he can still play and beat seeded players like Schwartzman who is #5 or #7 is this tournament.
So I wouldn't be surprised if he enters the quarter finals and be the giant killer again.
And then he goes and looses against Bublik, did not watch the match but this is the worst surface for Bublik so I expected Karatsev to do much better. Killed my early double, I had both Karatsev and Thiem to win 2:0.So I wouldn't be surprised if he enters the quarter finals and be the giant killer again.
Yup, I spoke to soon, Bublik really played superb here, no more comeback from Karatsev as he broke early in the second set.
And to be fair with Karatsev, there are a lot of upsets last night, Nadal survived but the rest, Rublev,Tsitsipas and Medvedev are packing their bags.
Casper Ruud and Berettini will be the huge underdog to win this tournament for me.

If I have to bet in this match, I will get Nadal 2:0 as well, I think Nadal can cover that spread.
The women's section has reached the final stage and will face A. Barty vs A. Sabalenka, what do you think about this match?
Their last meeting at Clay was won by Barty in 3 sets, it could be that this match will last 3 sets and favorite winner is Barty.

I will give Barty to won the Madrid Open in 3 sets as well, it will be a tough match but I think Barty has the tools to defeat Sabalenka. Both will be coming from a good rest, so they are fresh, so Barty being the stronger of the two to win.

Rublev,Tsitsipas and Medvedev lost today

i also think Nadal can win this tournament, but i don't know about it being easy, his next match is against Zverev which seems to be going for Nadal, but it won't be easy, then Thiem is still a good contender for the championship, and not to forget Karatsev who showed some good skills against Djokovic, so i think it won't be that easy for Nadal.Some big names lost already in the early part of the tournament witch makes Nadals chances a lot bigger now to win Madrid easily
Karatsev is already out as he was beaten by Bublik.

Yeah, my boy Tsitsipas lost, Casper hitting big and returning good against him.

I agree, I doubt that anyone who survived will have a chance to win against Nadal, it will be a big test for Zverev.
I took some risk, most concern on Berrittini vs Delbonis match, I thought that Berrittini will blast Delbonis early and I was wrong. So when I saw the score is going to a tie break, I said to myself that I have a good chance to win my bet. Over 21.5

Thiem is looking good and gaining more and more match fitness from the couple
of 3 setter matches, and gaining more and more confidence and positivity,
he is on the up.
Well done to Isner too after a tough one with Rublev, that match was not easy.

Bit of a top tier slaughter house today in the mens games, lost on my Rublev bet.
Medvedev and Tsitsipas out also, I was thinking they would be too close to put bets on
but I really thought Rublev was safe, looked like a close match with 2 Tie Breaks.
Beretini and Zverev came trough in the late matches but both had some scares, could have easily been 3 sets. I watched Tsitsipas and he was good today but made a couple of unforced errors in key moments. Ruud was very solid whole match and his serve + forehand combo was working flawlessly.Medvedev and Tsitsipas out also, I was thinking they would be too close to put bets on
but I really thought Rublev was safe, looked like a close match with 2 Tie Breaks.
Looking forward to see if Thiem will be able to break Isner tomorrow. I'll probably take Isner on some handicap, I don't see him loosing the serve more than once in the match.
