Daniel Evans had a really rough match yesterday with Alex Alex de Minaur having issues with his fitness in question at the end of the second set.
He had to have a medical timeout while right in the middle of game:

After treatment he was certainly questionable to continue as he had both sets bageled:

With that win he is the first Australian in 20 years to make it to 4th round of the U.S Open with shots like this one you can see why he made it on to the quarter-finals:

Hijikata vs Dimitrov
Rinky Hijikata, one of the rising stars of 2024, has been putting in some decent performances in preparation for the US Open. Now at the highest ranking of his career, Hijikata has a tough match in the second round. Grigor Dimitrov, who was impressive in his first match here, will take to the court with the confidence of having dominated Hijikata in both of their previous meetings. The former world number 3 is likely to put up another comfortable match.

Well it did end in an easy win for Dimitrov, we have mentioned here a while back that Dimitrov
is having a fantastic time now for at least this season, he moves to Round 3.

Ruud vs Monfils
Former finalist Casper Ruud performed well in his opening match at the 2024 US Open. 37yo Gael Monfils beat Diego Schwartzman in four sets to advance. Ruud is undoubtedly my favorite in what promises to be one of the most enjoyable matches of the second round, but we have to remember that Monfils recently beat Carlos Alcaraz. So Molfis still has the power to get big wins. I expect a competitive match.

Monfils also won the recent UTS New York tournament, albeit with different rules, But Ruud came out
on top over 5 sets. Not sure how far Ruud can go on the hard courts, its not his strongest surface.

Sinner goes today and has dropped a set already against McDonald in the first round. I wonder how
his mental state is with the "Drug" scenario going on in the background? He is massive favourite at 1.02
while Michelsen is 14.1, I wonder if an over bet 29.5 is on the cards here @ 1.62 ?

On the womens side I am watching both Osaka and Paolini. This is Osaka's favourite surface, its the big
stage and has probably been targeting this all year. She isnt getting easy draws recently and plays
Muchova tomorrow in the second round. Paolini plays Pliskova today which she should win.

Anyone follow the UTS series in New York?

This was .y first time actually seeing this event and I have to say I really like it, so
much so that I completely forgot to check it there was odds available!

The rules are very different and I found it hard to predict who would win each
match. Gael Monfils came out the champion beating Biblik!

it seems that Sinner is not completely out from doping claim... or at least until september 6th he could have a notification regarding further investigations by WADA....
Today he has officially fired his athletic trainer and his ("famous") physiotherapist.
in addition to losing a team selected with dedication, he has lost about 1 million dollars in prize money (Indian Wells).
so many difficulties for the number 1, who knows if they will have an impact on his performances.

I think some other players have an issue with the fact that this was kept quiet for
a number of weeks. Is the head of WADA Italian?

I was reading some news about Sinner who took a drug that will penalize him and the last tournament he won he won't be awarded points so I don't know now what the federation will do with him but in my opinion it was a mistake and it wasn't a desired thing so it's not right

AFAIK Sinner didnt take any illegal substances. His Physiotherapist used
medication on his own hand before treating Sinner and a very minute amount
showed up in Sinners test.

US Open kicks off with round 1 on Monday, qualifiers have finished so the matches
have been set. As it stands on both the mens and womens I cannot see any upsets
on the cards for the top seeds.

On the mens side Dominic Thiem got a wild card and ends up playing Shelton, thats
bad luck!

On the Womens side Osaka has bad luck too in having to play 10th seed Ostapenko.
Osaka is slight favourite at 1.65 v 211 for Ostapenko.

Funny, I just read that 10 mins ago!

I was fully acquitted though, seemingly one of Sinners physiotherapists was
the substance which is sold over the counter in Italy for a cut he had on his hand
or something like that.

Sinner is clear to play but will lose his points and prize money from his semi final
in Monte Carlo - this is when all this happened!

Sinner has just been found positive in a doping test!
It seems the Italian guy from San Candido has taken "Clobestol" - anabolic-androgenic steroid.

However it seems that has been a very low amount and much probably not directly linked to a doping case.
No issues for US Open participation... Roll Eyes

Closing stages of Cincinnati and we had a battle royale in the semi final between
Sinner and Zverev, 3 sets with 2 tie breaks and the middle set 5-7. If you had an over
bet on you were a winner!

The other semi final was an unlikely pairing of Tiafoe v Rune, neither player has
been lighting up the courts this year but Tiafoe with his new coach are on a mission.

Sinner v Tiafoe - 3 sets could be on the cards here

In the womens side its Sabalenka v Pegula. Sabalenka put out Swiatek
and Pegula put out Badosa. This has to be going to a 3 setter?

Bit if a upset yesterday when Monfils beat Alcaraz over 3 sets! I'd say the odds
on Monfils were very good.

Two other players going well are Rublev and Fernandez.

Rublev is pitting some reall solid performances in now for the last few weeks
and books a spot against Sinner today. This has the potential to go 3 sets.

On the womens side Fernandez is in great form, she has already beaten Rybakina
in the round of 32 but unfortunately plays Pegula in the quarter final

Sinner has already got his Cincinnati campaign up and running by beating the
next gen American Michelsen. I am expecting nothing less than a tournament
win from Sinner.

On the womens side even though Swiatak is playing and had a 3 set mixed bag
result over Gracheva whom I'ce never seen before I would still like Paolini to at
least end up meeting Swiatek.

and its Popyrin who takes the title beating Rublev quite easily 2-6 and 4-6 which
killed my idea of a double with Rublev /Pegula.

Pegula won her match and took the title in 3 sets.

So its over to Cincinnati now and from yesterday I'm really disappointed that
Osaka got beaten in the qualifiers by Kreuger. My interest now is on Paolini,
she plays tomorrow.

...as does Sinner who faces Michelsen. Keeping it Italian Berrettini plays Rune
tomorrow and is favourite at 1.7, hard to tell if this will be a 3 setter or not.

Sinner getting knocked out over the weekend was another top seeded player leaving the tournament along with Zverev and Sabalenka early. Really rough for those who had these players winning their matches disappointed on their bets.
But with all the rain delays where there were 13 matches being played in one day when there are usually 7 was rough on the those players.
Sinner didn't look so good when he lost that last match. He was on the court more than what he is used too and it showed.
Surprised to hear that Rublev lost to popyrin. But his match of course was under a rain delay before it reached the end of the second set.
So that probably caused his rhythm to be off because the previous match he blanked his opponent to take the match easily.

We are having some surprised at the end of this event Montreal Open Hurkacz and Zverev both lost their matches and have early exit like Sinner now we are having final between Popyrin vs Rublev with these results look like players are in hurry for having their matches in Cincinnati Open because I was expecting easy wins for both top seed players, but they fail to manage things. Popyrin and Rublev both won their games in straight sets for having spots into final which is going to play after few hours with Rublev is hot favourite for the win of this title at the @1.36 but most chances we will be having tense game between these players for the win.

In Toronto, we are having good final with all Russians are lost their games, and we are having final between two Americans Pegula is having good advantage against Anisimova, but this is also going to be good contest for the trophy.

Amazing that the two Americans are putting together good performances before
the US tournaments. Timing is everything!

In Pegula's case she has indeed had a poor enough season, she is favourite at
1.49, I think she will win.

Over at Montreal its surprisingly Rublev v Popyrin. Its amazing from Rublev to bounce
back from his recent meltdown at the French open to making the final here. He's favourite
at 1.33.

Could be an interesting double bet on Pegula and Rublev?

Pegula vs Anisimova
Pegula has recovered from a not so good season. Pegula has been playing consistent tennis in this part of the season and has made it to the final here as well. Anisimova, on the other hand, is trying to find her old form after a long break. However, she only lost one set in this tournament before reaching the final, and she has knocked out some big names. This match will be a clash of two different styles. Pegula is the favorite with his experience on the court where he has been champion before, but you have to be open to surprises. I think it will be an exciting match.

Currently, as we are having challenging schedule for the players things are going more complicated because players are having injuries concerns and many other problems so they are trying to avoid from few events which they feel are not good Rafael Nadal are withdrawn from the US Open and his career is hanging in limbo because most chances now his body is not allowing him to have more tennis at the top level like he was playing few years back.

Now we have another news as Novan Djokovic is withdrawn from event Cincinnati Open as this was going to have warmed up before big grand slam now he will be going to play US Open after having some rest because winning Gold Medal in Olympics is surely amazing for the player and his country.

Novak will be fine, he can actually turn up and play and get better as the tournament
progresses. Especially in a grand slam when its the best of 5 sets. We have seen him before
losing the first two sets and coming bact to win the match.

Sinner didnt play at the Olympics
Alcaraz is not playing this week
But everyone will be ready for the US Open.

Over at the Canada Open Womens quarter finals its all USA v Russia. 5 Americans
play 3 Russians.

Navarro v Townsend
Anisimova v Sabalenka
Pegula v Stearns
Snaider v Samsonova

Aaaand just like that, Aryna Sabalenka is out 4:6, 2:6. Her 5th loss against Anisimova.

Yes looks like Anisimova has the beating of Aryna. Its 3rd set against Navarro ATM
and on serve. Later its Snaider v Pegula, this could be an all American womens final.

If I'm not mistaken, there were times that he skipped the Cincinnati Open if he doesn't feel right. And obviously, after winning the Gold medal in the Olympics, he was pretty banged up, specially his knees as we have never seen him play that kind of intensity.

Although correct me if I'm wrong from other fellow tennis enthusiast here, Djokovic might lose some points here not playing on Cincinnati Open. However, I do not think that he cares about it, what's important for him at this point is to win another Grand Slam.

With his current state of form we can expect another epic fight for the win against all new generation players after having Gold Medal in Paris his confidence level is surely high because he is doing amazing stuff and now having enough time for rest as well even he is facing cut in points but as mentioned he can recover this all in US Open where things are favouring him for another win and having some good stuff for the rest of his career after sad ending of Rafael Nadal in Paris most chances he came back is not under scrutiny.

Sinner is also having not ideal start after illness, but he is having good time in Cinci where he can catch momentum and having good chance of win as well Alcaraz is also surely going to have fierce game after lost in Paris.

Yea Djokovic will drop points just like Sinner dropped points already at the
Canada open by being beaten by Rublev. Sinner had to play two matches
yesterday though and after his match he mentioned that he has to work
on his confidence.

Two quarter finals on there ATM
Korda v Zverev - surely Zverev has to win this?
Popyrin v Hurkacz - Hurkacz should win this too
