I just wonder if Murray can break into the top 100 rankings before the year ends, if he is able to do this then that would be a huge achievement for him coming back from a hip injury. I haven't been able to see any of the tournaments going on right now as I have been busy but I do hope to watch some tennis this weekend.

Andy Murray's current ranking:

So he can easily break into the top 100 rankings easily if he could won another masters 250 tournament. But I don't think that there's enough tournament in the tennis calendar 2019. So most probably he can accomplished it early next year.
Yes, I think so, maybe right now He is not focusing on His rank but preparing for AO, yes it is still a few months, but he needs extra preparation. Grand Slam more presticious and competitive, many players make extra preparation for this.

I agree that he is focusing on big tournaments, like Grand Slam but he needed this extra boost by entering other tournaments as well just like the recent Antwerp open wherein he won the title.

@Chydro - Coric has bee inconsistent and so is Monfils, but yeah, surprised to see Monfils come back and won that match.

The matches early lost when goffin didnt put away a match which should of been easy for him.
So instead I put about 1.79mbtc more on my next parlay for rublev in straight sets and it hit. Grin

In these tournaments the favorites are put away in excess the past couple of days. So these matches are not so cut in dry as they seem to be. Undecided

In Vienna Open, Kukushkin defeated Boric, and Monfils had to go to a 3 set to get past  Novak, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.
I was expecting Mikhail Kukushkin to win alteast a set in this match but he won both the sets in grand fashion  Cheesy, i was having doubt with the way Borna Coric was performing and i expecting Kukushkin to create some problems in the match and he won and glad to win the parlay as Gaël Monfils won the match, on seeing the first set i thought i lost the bet but then he came back and won the game  Grin.

Today we have some matches to wage a bet and in Vienna open today there is Gael Monfils facing Dennis Novak and considering their form i am going with Gael Monfils to win and in another match Borna Coric is facing Mikhail Kukushkin and considering the bad form Borna Coric is in for the past few weeks i am expecting Mikhail to win a set.

Odds on Monfils are too low at ~1.20 range.

I prefer to test my luck with a Basel's game:

Goffin D. vs  Cilic M. 

Cilic may be underdog, but lately, he's playing better and I expect today to take this match. ~2.51 is a worthy risk.


Sadly, Cilic lost his match against Goffin.

Almost seeded players gets to the next round lead by Roger Federer.  Interesting match to watch, Wawrinka vs Tiafoe, Fognini vs Krajinović.

In Vienna Open, Kukushkin defeated Boric, and Monfils had to go to a 3 set to get past  Novak, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Yes!!!, Andy Murray won his biggest match in his career, winning the Antwerp Open against Wawrinka, 3-6 6-4 6-4. To be honest, I thought that Murray's body is stretch to it's limit in this tournament and Wawrinka is the fresher of the two. But I guess no one can deny Murray. Both are hitting super winners, and Murray was down in the first set and Stan was even up 3-1 in the second. But Murray come back strong and was able to hang on. Congrats and I would say that this is the biggest win for him.

What did I say my friend, I thought that Murray could win this match and he did after losing the first set. Like I said the fresher player doesn't always win the final like we have seen in the past in Grand Slams and other tournaments. This is an amazing win for Murray even though its a small tournament but it did look like he was almost finished but now he is back and lets hope he has a big 2020 and we see him challenge for Grand Slam titles again. Congrats to Murray on an amazing comeback from injury.

Correct, Murray did give us a good showing in this tournament, no doubt that Wawrinka is also in his best form coming back from an injury, butt Murray couldn't be deny.



Switzerland Open on the way,

(2) Zverev is out already, (1) Federer, obviously is the crowd favorite here,  winning easily against Gojowczyk, 6-2, 6-1. (4) Tsitsipas is also thru to the next round. Interesting match, (6) Goffin vs Cilic next.

-snip- So kudos to him and wish he can climb back in the rankings.
Murray rank up to 127 previous 243, still in the hundreds. The match against Wawrinka is not an easy match so it wll be a valuable moment for him because He can win the trophy again.
As he lost first set and in second score was 4 - 4 I  was upset and leave out as I was feeling he is going to lost in just 2 sets after nearly few hours I came back and check score this was really stunning for me as Murray was winner and Wawrinka lost this final just amazing stuff from Murray lets see how he response in new year and against top seed players and in grand slam good come back.

At least it was a big jump to his ranking by winning this tournament. And I agree that it was not an easy task for Andy Murray to reach the finals and win it. And for this kind of high profile tennis players, what they need is just one tournament wins to be able to get back on track.

And we all know what he went through, I mean that injury he suffered. It is also interesting to note that his injury worsen or being really painful for him is when he face Wawrinka in 2017, I can't remember what tournament it was, but after that, Murray was not the same anymore and he had to undergone hip surgery. So it's like him going into full circle here.

I'm not surprised at all by his winning this match and the trophy. I mean getting into this finals, he had to climb back and win the third set. It means that mentality he regain his focus already, but maybe not 100% yet on his body.

But he regain some confidence here specially beating a tough opponent in Wawrinka. So kudos to him and wish he can climb back in the rankings.

If you have noticed by now, Monfils, the top seed here and last year finalist was defeated by a young player Jannik Sinner still 18 years young but he shock everyone when he upset Monfils in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Maybe this kid has some potential, maybe not.

He will be going against a solid player in Tiafoe so let's see if his streak does continue.
Monfils is out of form after losing from US open so we can say its usual upset now real test of this kid as Tiafoe is in some better shape this is going to be tough match if this match is won by Sinner then hopefully peoples will notice about him as defeating two players in same tournament is not ususal its difficult for any new player.

I think we can still consider it an upset regardless because the kid is inexperienced and was able to win against Monfils and Tiafoe. But facing against Wawrinka, Sinner melted under pressure, but for sure lots of experience gain in this tournament for him.

So for tennis fans, he will be on the radar for sure, maybe in the next two years his name will be in the top ten so better watch for this kid in the future.

Dream match is on: Andy Murray vs Stan Wawrinka in the finals.

Earlier, Wawrinka goes on and win against the youngster Sinner. And so it's Andy Murray time to keep his part of the bargain, and definitely worked hard on it and beat Humber, 11 years his junior, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2. He dropped the first set but eventually recovered and now will face Stan in the finals this Sunday. It was a hard fought battle for Andy, as we all know had a hip surgery, went back unsuccessful in 2018, retired again, come back in 2019 and now we are seeing him in his first finals appearance after his hip injury.



This will be a real est for Murray to see if he can win against Wawrinka. I actually think he is starting to get back to the top form he was in and can beat Wawrinka even though he had an easy win over Sinner. I sometimes think that having tough matches help when making the finals as we have seen it many times before where a player has had a tough tournament they come out and win the final so we could see the same happen here.
