I think I'm going to back Rublev to win this. As mentioned he has a lot of
momentum going into this final and will be super confident especially
after beating Nadal somewhat comfortably over 3 sets.
Should be a great match.

Its nice to see two young talented players make the final. Stefanos Tsitsipas has not really had much competition in this tournament however he has played well without losing a set. I think this is he's time to shine and step up to become a more consistent player and when tournament finals but it won't be an easy match as Rublev has also been in good form and even upset Nadal so he will have all the momentum going into the final and confidence to win. Its going to be a great match.
Exactly, he seems to be very comfortable with clay court and been playing very well in this tournament. But the last time they fought, Stepanos lost to Rublev, so it's a revenge game for him. It will be very tough one for Tsitsipas here, Rublev is slight favourite as per odds, nevertheless I will put a bet on Stepanos ML @2.05 boosted, and goodluck to all bettors.

I f*ked myself up on a big bet too. Picked 2:1 for Nadal, thought the odds were good value, but I did NOT hedge because there was no way for me Nadal would slip up, but oh he did. Didn't see the match either, but lost that third set badly.
Tell me one guy who saw that coming, cause no one I knew did;)
That's my final bet for this tourney. I normally don't talk about it either but yesterday pinched me pretty bad heh heh.
My dad also wanted to place a bet on 1-1 in sets for nadalI f*ked myself up on a big bet too. Picked 2:1 for Nadal, thought the odds were good value, but I did NOT hedge because there was no way for me Nadal would slip up, but oh he did. Didn't see the match either, but lost that third set badly.

But odd was 1.40 and decided not to bet because odd was low. And i told him to bet on rublev 4.00 odd was was a good odd was watching the match and seen he was clearly better
Don't know anybody who expected it but I am thinking you did not do yourself any favor with that bet. What were the odds for that market?
In my experience when you have a big favorite as Nadal is on clay, him winning the match 2:0 will still be bad odds, him winning 2:1 would be good odds but that is all because you are playing that opponent will take one set. Now that means you are expecting sort of surprise but if that is a case you have much better bet that his opponent takes at least one set. Odds are usually quite close to that what you played and it is a bet which is much easier to win in the end. At least I am always taking that one or handicap when I am smelling a chance of upset. Never against Nadal on clay though
But who am I to preach, my super secure games for today was E. Frankfurt x2 and West Ham x2 and we all know how that went.

It was 4.34 for me. 2:0 wasn't even 2/1 boosted, I don't recall odds for Rublev taking a set -- maybe you're right in that case BUT the price boost was for picking a correct score, which is why I went for it =) Silly me!
Keep on preaching, man, I actually silently pay attention to what others do. Especially tennis, since I'm afraid I'm almost completely out of date with current forms.

I am also thinking Rublev will win in Monte Carlo and I will go one step further and say he will win easy. He should destroy Ruud today, H2H is already 4:0 in Rublev favor and I don't see how Ruud can take even set today. I am sure he will find the way though just to screw with my bet 
In other semi final Tsitisi should also win quite comfortably against Evens but I am not betting on it. Evans already costed me so much money since I played against him in all matches so far. Staying away from this one.

When i seen how rublev played against nadal he killed him. And i think tstispas dosent have a chance against rublev even tho he smashed Evans today.
But cant wait to see the game tommorow. Also rollan garros is o most here.

You didn't have to worry so much, as expected Tsitsipas beat Evans very convincingly, 6-2 6-1
Evans beat Djokovic and probably made the biggest surprise in tennis in the last few years, but he couldn't do more than that in this tournament.
I think we can expect a very exciting and uncertain match in the final between Rublev and Tsitsipas but I bet on Tsitsipas.

-snip@ What's your prediction in the finals?
Will it be Tsitsipas vs Rublev?
The two names will be the ideal final. If this happens, it will be difficult to predict who will be the winner because their H2H is equal and I guess the odds offered by the bookies will not differ much.
My assessment of Rublev is more consistent in every tournament he has participated.
I also have Rublev to win if the two faces again in the finals.
I'm sure others will disagree with me, but I will say that Tsitsipas is not a clay court specialist, or at least his physical is not fit for clay.
I thought that Nadal though will beat Rublev, unfortunately, I'm wrong, Rublev really play very hard so if he ever wins his SF, most likely he will be the champion.

I watched the match only until the second set between Rublev vs Nadal, Rublev played really well especially in the first set, but when he lost in the second set I thought he would also lose in the third set because Nadal was able to find his best again, but when see the final score is sure to make the bettors who choose Rublev will be happy because the odds for him when the match is quite high.
Hopefully, someone will be able to do the same thing at the French Open, beating Nadal, isn't it very boring when we see him has to continue to win French Open.
French Open will be different though, perhaps Nadal is just starting to get going and warm up his body. So still a win-win for him even though he lost, he can make some adjustments and going the a tournament wherein he is the king, maybe we will see the best version of Nadal and let this be a motivation again.

Ok, so it will be Rublev vs Nadal QF. I think Nadal being the king of clay is unstoppable in this tournament. And the last person to beat him in clay is Diego Schwartzman who exited in this tournament very early if I'm not mistaken.
Djokovic lost is a big shocker, Tsitsipas vs Fokina on-going, Fokina leading the first set 4-3 but Tsitsipas serving to tie the score. ML for Tsitsipas is not that attractive just @1.14.
The Novak Djokovic loss was a shocker but the most shocking was the Rafael Nadal loss as i did not expect that to happen and glad that i did not place a bet in the entire match and i have seen many making huge bets on the second set for Andrey Rublev to win but Rafael Nadal was able to come back and win and i thought he could win the third as well but today was not his day.Djokovic lost is a big shocker, Tsitsipas vs Fokina on-going, Fokina leading the first set 4-3 but Tsitsipas serving to tie the score.

Ah the beauty of another upset, now Nadal falls to Rublev, another unexpected turn of events.
So my boy Stepanos has won and set up a tough semis with Djokovic conqueror. Huge underdog as I checked the money line today, @5.x. While Stepanos is @1.14 favorite. I might do some live betting, see first what Stepanos looks in the first set.
Rublev is obviously the favorite on the other bracket, currently @1.30, against @3.45 for Casper Ruud.

Only problem - Fognini will probably lose today
Only problem - Fognini will probably lose today
you had right on this one, and when saw that, Nadal obviously did not want to pass either, so he lost on Rublev
it is a shock, maybe even more than Djokovic to see Nadal out, and it would be interesting to see who will take the crown now, Rublev is probably on fire after this (did not saw the match), but Tsitsipas seems as better pick in the end
If rublev continues to play like this he will be a really big player one day
Oh yes Rublev has a very bright future. The thing is he isnt afraid to play anybody
especially Nadal. He isnt phased by having to play him whereas others would
certainly have a degree of doubt about playing Nadal on clay.
Rublev is a power player who can make an opponent work hard and run a lot.

I never bet against players like Rublev, he takes the ball so early and if he has his day and hits those timings he can win against absolutely anybody. Did not watch him today but he must have been on fire to leave Nadal on 2 games in first and third set.
