do you want me to continue?
Nah! Give him a break mate  Grin
Not sure how much he lost but I am sure in his live he will never bet against Nishioka LOL

It was a boring game to watch. There were no excitement. The win was straight 2 - 0 (6-4)(6-2). Harrison only managed to win 2 games in the 2nd set. Who is going to win in between Rublev and Pouille you think to face Nishioka in the 2nd round?

Ryan Harrison was never convincing versus lefties, throughout his career he played 71 time vs left hand opponents and achieved 37 wins and 34 defeats (including this one against Nishioka).37-34 win-loss indicates his issues with left hand. Some recent matches vs lefties: 28-May-2018 defeated by Marterer (Roland Garros), 2-Jul-2018 defeated by Mannarino (Wimbledon) then he took win against Cameron Norrie and now again defeat vs Nishioka.

It was utterly stupid pick (harrison to win against nishioka)... ok the match is finished now and we can see it was routine 1h12min win for Japanese player. You guys didn't do a homework, you need full study before the event. Nishioka took win here with ease, two sets probably never get tight and competitive. Reasons why I see this stupid bet: 1. Head to head (Nishioka has already a win vs R. Harrison, match played in Acapulco 2017. 2. that win came in pretty much same conditions (hard court and Australia / New Zealand means hot and humid), 3. tennis is not only service (Nishioka is more stable player, simply moving quicker around the court). 4. Nishioka already played more matches in 2019. 4 matches played so far and this was only 2nd appearance for American in new year. 5. japanese played qualifications here so he already acclimatized and took scent of court and playing conditions.

do you want me to continue?

Who is watching match between Harrison and Nishioka ATP Sydney? Nishioka is leading the first set by 4 - 3 and going to serve now.
I am following the livescore, I have a bet on Ryan Harrison, of course he is down  Smiley But it's not over. I must confess Yoshito Nishioka is insanely talented, he won a title last year, his game is special, very good left hand but I really thought on this surface the American could prevail thanks to his serve. Not over yet but not looking too good at the moment.
I feel you. The odd for Harrison is now 16/1 since he is 2 games down in the 2nd set. He must need to hold this game and rest of the games of this set or he is out unfortunately.

Nishioka is playing really well.

This was my leet post by the way. Just thought to capture it Smiley


Well done man  Grin

For tomorrow, I captured some odds.
Here you go:



Straight away I really the odds of Frances Tiafoe, I mean why on Earth John Millman should be that big clear of a favorite in this match.
Ok, Millman plays very well at home, managed a win over Federer last year but come on he should not be favored that big.

Tiafoe's forehand, even though it looks awkward, is a big weapon. And the guy is so quick on the court. I think his odds are the results of the exhibition tournament he played last week. But well, different week and official tournament, he will try hard tomorrow, I really like his odds @ 2.53.

Anyway I have the feeling Zverev will finally mature and prioritize the slams this season. 

Yes, I have the same feeling that Zverev will gain more experience this year and it's just a matter of time before we can see him at least get a Grand Slam next year.

These odds seem decent indeed.
However he often gets stronger as the competition gets harder. I wouldn't take these odds myself Smiley

Best of luck tho.

I agree. I wouldn't say that Novak is overated. He can still perform high level tennis as competitions gets harder and he seems to perform better under pressure. Let's see how he perform this year to gauge he still has the itch to compete against a lot of young prospects.

But I still like the field: young guns: Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and maybe older players too (Kei Nishikori or Marin Cilic). I go for a small sake here.

However Zverev just got literally wiped out by Federer.
An exhibition, I would not read too much into it.

World Tour Finals in November 2018, Alexander Zverev was much more composed and won in straight sets. However the surface will be quick again for Roger Federer (Rod Laver trying to rig things for his favorite?).

Anyway I have the feeling Zverev will finally mature and prioritize the slams this season.

And about the Australian Open, I am very tempted to bet on Novak Djokovic NOT to win the title, odds: 1.70 (bet $100, $wins 70). He is becoming vulnerable, so I like the chances of the field.

These odds seem decent indeed.
However he often gets stronger as the competition gets harder. I wouldn't take these odds myself Smiley

Thanks man. I just think he is overrated lately, of course these odds are also explained by the fact that:
-Rafa Nadal could withdraw from the event (and don't think he would be a threat anyway)
-Roger Federer is old and done in best of 5 sets format (IMO)
-Juan Martin Del Potro pulled out
-Andy Murray is done
-Stan Wawrinka, well who knows

But I still like the field: young guns: Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and maybe older players too (Kei Nishikori or Marin Cilic). I go for a small sake here.

Switzerland have once again won the Hopman Cup against Germany, it came down to the mixed doubles match where Switzerland won it in three sets. This now makes it Federer's third Hopman Cup win which is now the new record for any player winning this tournament. It was nice to see him win it for the third time as it may very well be his last time playing in this tournament.

You're right. Might be the last Hopman Cup appearance for Roger Federer so its nice to see him win it in dramatic fashion. So let's see how Federer will perform at Australian Open now as he looks formidable winning in straight sets as far as I can remember.

I'm looking forwad to watching the Brisbane International final between Nishikori and Medvedev, I think it will be a close fought match with both Men in top form. I'm leaning more towards Nishikori as he is very good on hard courts but it can go either way.

Ken Nishikori won the Brisbane International and finally ending a three year drought. He dominated Medvedev right from the opening. So he has the momentum as well going to Australian Open, I'm sure he will be in the discussions to win the  trophy as well.

This was nice to see Nishikori win the Brisbane International as he hasn't won a tournament in a long time, I believe his last tournament win was in 2016 so it was nice to see him finally win one. He looks very good for the Australian Open and as we know he has always been a very good player on hard courts so the Australian Open has always suited him. Now we move onto the Sydney International that starts today so there is plenty of tennis before the Australian Open as there is also the Hobart International but this is mainly for players trying to qualify for the Australian Open.
Kei Nishikori was 0-9 in finals since winning Memphis in 2016 indeed. Big won for him, decent odds pre match too (1.65).

The bet I like today is Ryan Harrison in Sydney, odds: 2.20. He plays Yoshito Nishioka, a good player but lacks power.

And about the Australian Open, I am very tempted to bet on Novak Djokovic NOT to win the title, odds: 1.70 (bet $100, $wins 70). He is becoming vulnerable, so I like the chances of the field.

Yes, Bencic gave a good fight but came short.

Medvedev will play Kei Nishikori then for the finals. I thought we're going to see a break out season for Tsonga because he was absent in the circuit for the last 7 months or so. But it's not his day as Medvedev easily won the second set. It's another intriguing match as Nishikori will be chasing his first title in 3 years.
Tsonga  is a good player I have seen some brilliant games from him but unfortunately his career he could not win many major trophy. My expectation from him (I guess to the world too) was much more then what he achieved so far.

Anyway, looking forward to see the final in between Medvedev and Nishikori.

Tsonga is an entertaining and fun player to watch (like Monfils). They both have a lot of talent, but talent nowadays is not enough to win titles.

They are quality players but nothing more. Main problem with these two are injuries which significantly marked their careers. Tsonga became father last year so it was another factor to lessen his interest in tennis. I expected lot from Pouille last year but he dipped in form heavily....just ups and downs and generally inconsistent player.
Right , consistency is a key in Tennis ( well other sports too but hell lot more important in tennis ) if you want to make a name . That's why Nadal , Fed are legends because they have been in top positions for over a decade .

The whole french tennis team seems to have forgotten what hard work means.

They have no ambition. Cashing in their  7 digits salary is enough to satisfy them. They have 0 drive to win. Lazy fucks.
