@vella85 - I don't know if you heard it already, but Australian Alex de Minaur has won the Atlanta Open last Monday. This is a good accomplished for Alex, his 2nd ATP and what this makes this special is that he just lost seven first-serve points throughout the tournament and became the youngest winner at age 20. So a very bright future for this young player.

Nick Kyrgios? What a loss of talent, we have been debating for years now about the potential of this player. Too bad he has some attitude problem, so just a waste to see this guy's talent just go on the pipe.



Hello my friend, No I didn't even know and I didn't even see this on our local news about him winning. I must be honest, I haven't been following the lead up tournaments to the US Open this year. Hmm that has me thinking that I might put a small bet on de Minaur to win the US Open because as we know he is a very good hard court player and he did show last year that he plays well in the US Open.

Why not? Alex has a bright future, he is one prospect that I have been looking in the year or so. And now he proves that he can stay with the big guys by winning another trophy. Felix Auger-Aliassime is another young talent on the rise, let's see if he can at least maintained his form for this year.

CITI Open has started, it is already in the round of 32. Could be another lead up tournament before the US open, lots of good players is on the tournament, including our favorite Nick Kyrgios  Grin

Yes I agree he does have a very bright future even more so then Kyrgios as his mind set is more switched on then Kyrgios. I just haven't been following the lead up tournaments as much as I used to so I didn't even know he was playing. I don't know much about Felix Auger-Aliassime but I see he is doing good in the Washington Open. I also just read that Murray may return to singles in Cincinnati which would be great to see as then he could go on to play in the US Open, maybe he isn't done for just yet.

We should enjoy these matches and moments because it will not last long.
It's obvious that that Federer is nearing the end of a magnificent career and we have maybe just a few years left to enjoy in the magnificent matches of this ''great three''.
I believe this will never happen again to watch three of the greatest players at the same time.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that Federer no longer has the strength to beat Djokovic. 



In my opinion he definitely has the strength and he could possibly beat him but that's not his purpose anymore as he knows his career will end soon. The last match Federer and Djokovic played together was won by the player that was stronger mentally which was obviously Djokovic because he managed to save 2 match points and then win the tiebreak. Fed had 2 match points so you can say he didn't have the strength. It's just that he is not so focused anymore
The history of all sports games indicates that there have been great players at all times.  And I am sure that with the departure, even the Federer will get a well-deserved rest, others will replace it.

Focused or not Federer wont most of grand slams not playing vs Nadal or Djokovic when these two started play final Federed have negative score with both of them. However he is complete player and must say that all 3 of them are. And from some point I expect to see them battle for at least 3-4 years in all major finals.

It's really amazing that Roger Federer, 37 years old, can still play such great tennis.
Since he has stated that he plans to play for a few more years, we will surely see more tennis classics like this in Wimbledon.

Yep we sure have mate, its a shame to see Kyrgios go down like this but he is the only one who can change it and like I said, there is still time but he must hurry as there are some good players coming through the ranks now.

Anyone here watching the Washington open, for all the betters today we have some easy matches hopefully to wage a bet.
Here are my prediction for today.
Sloane Stephens to win against Rebecca Peterson
Sachia Vickery to win against Camilla Giorgi
Reilly Opelka to win against Christopher Eubanks
Nick Kyrgios to win against Thai Son Kwiatkowski

Just placing a small bet on these matches and lets see how this goes  Grin.

Kyrgios is a good player but he is very arrogant.
This makes me not to respect him so I would probably bet against him, and bet for Thai Son Kwiatkowski.
Some time ago I was sure Kyrgios is going to be in top very soon but soon after I watch his few matches and read about his behavior now sure is not a top class player because he is doing some bad things which are no good enough for him and his career.

I think we all thought this on here as he has the talent and potential to be one of the top players but he just can't get hes head in the right place and loses it during matches when things ain't going hes way. He still has time to turn it around as he is still in hes early twenties but time is running out for him as there are other talented players coming through the ranks and will surpass him.

Has anyone watched this amazing match between Lorenzo Sonego and Federico Delbonis in Kitzbühel?
Great Italian saved eight match-balls and went into the next round of the tournament, with the final result 7:6 (4), 6:7 (4), 7:6 (4).
Delbonis led 4:0 and 5:3 in the first set, but did not reach the set-ball.
The Argentine player had four match balls in the deciding set at 5:4, but Sonego saved them.
Two games later, again at the service of the Italians, Delbonis had four more chances to end the duel as the winner, but Sonego pulled it off as well
We've been really looking some great tennis matches lately.
Can't wait that US open starts.

Yes my friend, I know you are a huge fan of Tsitsipas, that is why I mentioned him. I'm also liking him more on hard courts which the US Open is played on so I think the $26 odds are very good. I'm thinking about putting $20 on him to win, Del Potro also plays well at the US Open and he has odds of $13 currently which isn't bad either, if they were at around $15 I would bet on him as well.

I'll probably go with Tsitsipas and put around $50 so let's see. I haven't betting on the women's side though, and I didn't check the odds. There might be some tempting odds out there as women's side as very unpredictable.

I'll probably wait what @Royse777 prediction on the women's, he has some good choices in the past so let's see.  Grin

Good luck my friend, I think it is a good bet for some value and as we know Tsitsipas is a great player on hard courts and can match it with the top players. On the Women's side I was thinking maybe Osaka at $8 odds if she is fit and healthy as she is another great hard court player, I just don't think she was suited with the clay and grass and now that she will be back on hard court I think she is a great chance at winning.
Tsitsipas is one of the biggest potential in the tour, hopefully he will change his attitude to seriously focus on his career get grand championship,  so far I haven't seen any player's in the women's side except Osaka whom able to  champion grandslam two consecutive time in hard. court.
Tsitsipas is above the current roster of young and upcoming tennis player. The problem is that the top 3 is still playing high level tennis that's why they kept on winning championship one after another. No problem with him focusing on the game itself, its that competition is very though, so if you get past he mid-tier players then you need to face the elite, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer to be able to win a grand slam.

That is true mate as we saw at the Australian Open Tsitsipas was able to beat Federer in the fourth round but was simply outclassed in the semi-final against Nadal. So even if the young talent can get through one of the top 3, they might still have to face another one in the finals or even the Grand Slam final where they always seem to fall. I think it will just take one of the young talent to beat one of the top 3 in a Grand Slam final and then I think it will start to change and we'll see the young talent start winning more against these top 3 guys.

I think Tsitsipas has the right attitude and is focused on winning a Grand Slam as he has shown he can beat the best like he did in the Australian Open beating Federer. I just don't know what it is with the young talent as even Thiem has the same problem when they get far in the Grand Slams they seem to lose it at the vital stage. Its like they get overwhelmed with it all and its something they need to work on mentally.
I  think these guys need  a coach that  can help to inspired them in winning in vital event special in crucial moment in their game, these coach can advise how to control emotions, so that they will not be overwhelmed by excitement and to much emotional

We should enjoy these matches and moments because it will not last long.
It's obvious that that Federer is nearing the end of a magnificent career and we have maybe just a few years left to enjoy in the magnificent matches of this ''great three''.
I believe this will never happen again to watch three of the greatest players at the same time.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that Federer no longer has the strength to beat Djokovic. 



In my opinion he definitely has the strength and he could possibly beat him but that's not his purpose anymore as he knows his career will end soon. The last match Federer and Djokovic played together was won by the player that was stronger mentally which was obviously Djokovic because he managed to save 2 match points and then win the tiebreak. Fed had 2 match points so you can say he didn't have the strength. It's just that he is not so focused anymore

At such high levels of tennis, when the best players play, usually small things decide.
Djokovic has tremendous mental strength and great psychological stability and for this reason he always gets the most important points in the match.
In short and easy matches Federer probably still has a chance against Djokovic but in difficult and long matches Djokovic is always in favor.
