and Rafa was looking comfortable for the first 2 sets then Tsitsipas
turned it around, such mental strength on top of the skill level.

Rafa made some really simple errors though in the last set.

I'm happy for Stefanos, looks like the younger talent is pressuring
the old guard.
It seems that we have some happy bunny here seeing Tsitsipas winning against Rafa here, Lol.

This will bolsters Stepanos mentality in this tournament, h2h Rafa is ahead but it seems that he is developing to be a good player, and we have been expecting Stepanos to really play tough against Rafa or Djokovic here (if he got the chance).

So it will be Danil vs Stepanos in the other semi finals bracket. Djokovic vs Karatsev on the other side.

There goes my Nadal outright. I knew he wasn't at his best, but really, really didn't expect him to fall like this. It's different to lose and fight back to end up losing but giving up quick leads seems to be more draining. I thought his serves would save him but anyway. I still have Djoko outright, Osaka. I hope I was right in ignoring Serena even though I did bet on her beating Halep after seeing the game live:P

Djokovic has come out and said that the 14 day quarantine is one of the main reasons why we are seeing a lot of injuries at the AO this year and he could be right as I don't remember seeing so many players sustain injuries during a tournament. Yes he beat Zverev in four sets however both players have similar injuries with both having their midsection taped up for their match. It comes down to mentality and the will to keep fighting on which Djokovic continues to do and we see this with Nadal also, not many players can fight through the pain and win big matches.

Yes, I think the quarantine really affected a lot of players, including the best of them. I really don't know how Djokovic is still playing with that kind of injury. More of mental toughness and experience to go and fight and win against the odds.

I'm looking forward to watching the big match tonight between Tsitsipas and Nadal. Currently Nadal leads the head 2 head 6-1 and has won all four hard court matches against Tsitsipas so can Tsitsipas turn it around and get a win against Nadal on hard court? I'm hoping that he does and goes on to become one of the youngest AO winners since Djokovic in 2008.

Exactly mate, Tsitsipas is playing very good in this tournament so I will still be rooting for him despite playing Nadal in the quarter-finals. This is hard court so it might work against Nadal here, so let's hope that Tsitsipas can pull an upset here.

Dude have you seen the match or you're just shit posting to get enough posts and claim sig. camp. reward? I mean match was tight but saying that Zverev had him in 3rd and 4th set is clear nonsense. Novak committed 56 unforced errors (was his own enemy). He isn't known as an error-prone player.
Did you watch the match? I watched every single point in the match and wrote the above as a feeling which you have during the match but we can also look into results. When I play tennis and I have 3:0 and my opponent is making a lot of unforced errors I think I have him and I like my chances going forward.
3rd set:
Zverev had 3:0 with the break and was much better player winning most of the points when the ball is in play. Djoko managed to keep close mainly by serving well.

4th set:
Zverev again has 3:0 with break of serve and another 3 break points for second break. If phrase "had him" can't be used in this context when would you use it? When player is 6:0 up in Tiebreak and then looses?




Stay tuned 18th GS is coming. Lower your frustrations, it can affect your cholesterol which further leads to various health conditions. You are full of hate and that's why your tennis sucks. Also you constantly repeat "I think" "I think" leave that thinking to others and fu.k   .ff with that hatered.

After watching whole match today I think there is no need to mention Djoko injuries any more, he was back to his old rubber self and no way he would pull off some of the points even with minor problems.
That bad mood and becoming hulk (the racket took it all though) while he was 1 - 3 game down and one point away from 1 - 4 in the 3rd set - released some tension from Djokovic I guess. He lost that point but that was the last in that set. In the next game (his served) he won and won rest of the games in that set to make it 6 - 4 and 2 - 1 set to win.

In the 4th set he again had a shaky start but eventually he was able to break and stay in the games until the final point of the tie break.

I had several bets and all were backing Djokovic, I had this confident that the legend will not break but may bend a bit. All my bets had over 2.00+ odds so obviously my picks were when Djokovic was down. And he was down in this match in several occasions. I did not bother to cash out any of the selections so eventually I am happy with the result.

Only one match I have wached so far and can not complain at all so far.

I'm not worried about the health of djokovic at all, actually i am pretty annoyed of his behaviour.  Tongue The match is running right now and i'm watching it. During the first set djokovic seemed to be hindered heavily and he lost the set.
Than in the second set there wore no signs of any injury and he totally dominated. I think he is just a big drama queen. Of course i could be wrong though and he is really injured.

This is the Jekyll and Hyde guy I mentioned in other threads, which is why I tend to take two hedging bets on him: to win straight out effortlessly, or to win with some "difficulties". I think he might let this 4th set slip too, and I do need it after all haha, since my hedge bet was a 3:2 win, which won't give me any joy if he wins this one!
Zverev had him in all sets except 2nd one, but Djokovic is just on different level mentally. It is inhuman how good he plays those most important points. Almost like you have to destroy him with 2 breaks if you want to win the set. I lost my pre-match bets but managed to recoup most of the lost funds betting against the run of game live. Too bad I cashed out on Djoko to win 4th set which was taken while he was a break down and then cashed immediately after he broke back. Otherwise it would have even be profits for me but I really thought Zverev would scrape his way to 5th set.

I'll watch Đoković - Zverev tomorrow, it will probably be the best one of the tournament. I'm cheering for Zverev, the best final tennis-wise would be Zverev - Tsitsipas.
I am worried with the health of Novak Djokovic as he was struggling with his fitness in the match against Taylor Fritz and against Alexander Zverev if he is not in full fitness it is going to be hard and with that in mind i might be betting on Alexander Zverev to win the match and it depends upon how Djokovic performs in the first set.

Xa xa xa, what else to say. I can feel your anger bro. Stop bitching please, the GOAT is performing. The next time think twice about your bets. By your shitty posts it appears that Novak is the only guy not allowed to get injured. Dude he is made of flesh and bones just like anybody else.
As someone mentioned even a 1mm muscle tear is STILL the tear.

Nice one bud!

I am watching my first AO match this year. Can't say Djokovic struggled in the first set but Zverev was good enough to steal the set. When Djokovic was 0 - 1 down, there was a good odd against him. Hopefully some of the active poster on this thread used the chance to maximize their profit. 2nd set 3rd game is in play.

Good luck to Djokovic.

Don't remember last time when I managed to put 3 live tennis matches on the ticket and win it so I have to brag a little Smiley Anybody who tried that knows how many times the odds can change and your ticket does not pass trough.


I was checking early games in AO but don't see much value in odds. I ended up playing on Dimitrov and Hsieh to win more than 6.5 games. I am counting on Karatsev fatigue to kick in and hopefully that will be enough for Dimitrov. In other match Osaka is big favorite but Hsieh is a strange player and she can generate enormous power for her small frame. Looking at their H2H Hsieh managed to get a set against Osaka every time on fast surfaces and if she does it again our bet will pass easy.

Nice win, congrats! Not easy indeed to place a multiple on live bets as odds always change  Grin.

Dimitrov lost in 4 sets against Karatsev, so another nice win of the Russian. Where will this end? Definitely the surprise of the tournament!

The match between Djokovic and Zverev has just started. Wanted to place a bet on Zverev, but there is not a lot of value on it. Zverev to win the match is around 2.5, which is a little bit too low for me.

Tsitsipas pulled this one off but with a forfeit from Berettini. Damn I was looking forward to this match, it should have been a great match.

Same here, this one was on my 'must watch' list and it's a shame it was forfeited.
I'll watch Đoković - Zverev tomorrow, it will probably be the best one of the tournament. I'm cheering for Zverev, the best final tennis-wise would be Zverev - Tsitsipas.

I'm also surprised Nadal won against Fognini in straight sets. Expected it to be a bit tougher for Rafa.

It was a shame that the match didn't happen as I was also looking forward to this match. Tsitsipas gets the win with a walkover but not sure if its a good thing for him or not. Yes he gets more rest but the question is match fitness for Tsitsipas, that's what worries me a little but hopefully he is ready to go for his next match which is Nadal. Now that is going to be a great match and I'm hoping that Tsitsipas can pull off the win.

We saw 2 walkovers in the one day which we don't see all that often this late in a grand slam tournament. At least there were no fans as it would of been frustrating to not see a full match.

Tonight we'll see how Djokovic goes against a in form Zverev who should test Djokovic to see how he can handle his injury.

Mertens was the big favorite, especially after her 3rd round match against Bencic. Sadly, she couldn't deliver and lost in straight sets from Muchova.
I never like betting on players that base their play on counter attacking, they are basically always dependent that their opponent will make enough errors to gift them victory. Before the match I also thought that Mertens is favorite and she started well but then the match turned. I managed to score on Muchova but I pulled the trigger too late to get good odds since I waited way too long.

If Djokovic continues, I am curious to see the odds for him. Giving his injury, there might be some value on Raonic to win.
I am not betting on that before the match. Raonic is actually just sort of the player Djoko will be very happy to play in his injured state. There will not be many long points and Djoko will not need to generate power on his forehand and that troubled him most. He served and returned pretty much normally during the match and all points against Raonic will be finished inside first few hits. If the points go into long rally even Djoko without one leg would be match for Raonic  Grin

If he was playing against some grinder like De Minaur, Goffin, Bautista I would be all over taking them as value bet and I would do it on some bookie that considers forfeit as regular result. I am expecting Djoko to play just because he is against Raonic (11-0 H2H) and then he has another day off before next match. Of course that only stands if there is no risk of making the injury much worse.



You were right, didn't watch the match, but Djokovic won in 4 sets. The next match against Zverev will probably be a little more difficult and I hope Zverev can overcome Djokovic.

Anyone watching Elise Mertens match against Karolina Muchova, i had a bad time as i was expecting Elise Mertens to win the match easily and made a bet on winning the first set and win by direct sets and to my misery Karolina Muchova came back from behind even though Elise Mertens was leading by 4 sets and then all of a sudden Karolina Muchova won the set  Undecided.

Mertens was the big favorite, especially after her 3rd round match against Bencic. Sadly, she couldn't deliver and lost in straight sets from Muchova.
