Grigor Dimitrov had an amazing comeback win against Jerzy Janowicz after losing the first set. The crowd played a big part in his win as he was looking really shabby with his shots. He almost went down 3-5 in the 3rd set after being down 15-40 on serve but managed to hold and then broke janowicz's serve. Good match. In another tournament, Tsonga looked impressive with his win against countrymen Herbert 6-1,6-2.
Tsonga plays really well against all until quarter or semi finals and then he screws up against a high seeded player . He never gets pasts through semi finals , that's his problem . He gotto be more consistent and change his strategy a bit against big players.

Yeah its a lot of herd mentality approach too, but ultimately this is useless and misleading. I was talking about odds.
Yeah this is very similar to following a tipster and betting on a match which we have no idea about . This is like technical analysis vs fundamental analysis. I think technical analysis is useless most of the time, but sometimes due the herd mentality, it can become a self fulfilling propecy. Maybe if the players look at the odds they get influenced by it but I doubt it since they are top profesionals with strong minds, so I think it's better to look at the fundamentals and forget what other people are betting, so bet on the players and their performance and health status and not bet because the majority is betting a or b.
This was exactly what I was referring to . Usually the bigger odds makes people scary and they believe that the lesser odds player will win the match whereas actually the odds are less because 900 people out of 1000 think ( Assume , predict ) player "A" to win , so going with our own guts will surely help . Well I would have never counted Roger Federer out, he is a future hall of famer and a legend in the sport of tennis, so I would never be that surprised of him winning against anyone including Nadal. But yeah it's pretty dificult to guess the outcome of matches but it's all about odds. Nadal had the better odds but that doesn't mean Federer couldn't win.
The pre-live odds depends on how people bet actually , if more people bet on Nadal then the odds for Nadal keeps decreasing and odds for Roger keeps increasing . Its not complete analytics , its how majority of people think and act . Yeah its a lot of herd mentality approach too, but ultimately this is useless and misleading. I was talking about odds.

Its not complete analytics , its how majority of people think and act . It was the final I wanted, Rafa Nadal vs Roger Federer, what a classic match, unfortunately I lost money because I went for a Nadal win, but at least I had fun watching the match, you can't always win... it was really close.
Considering Rafa is still 30 and Federer is 35, it proves Rafa has at least 5 more years to become number 1 again with realistic possibilities.
Well yeah many would have gone for Nadal to win the match as he was in ultimate form ( Better when compared to Federer ) but Roger just gave his 100% and luck favored him many times but it was one hell of a match and a fantastic final . Happy for Roger and as you said Nadal still has time , I am sure he will get to top soon.Considering Rafa is still 30 and Federer is 35, it proves Rafa has at least 5 more years to become number 1 again with realistic possibilities.
Luckily I didn't gamble a lot of money on the match. It's also really interesting to look forward for more Federer performances. He is 35 already and rich as hell, has demonstrated that he can still win major tournaments, so we will see if he has the motivation to keep playing at top level.

Not only gambling, the games too happens based upon luck. No one could have thought that Nadal loose the match. And Venus Williams reaching final too is unexpected, because she is quite not stable in her play. On the consecutive match after final have lost to Mladenovic without winning even a single set. All forms of gambling or anything luck is necessary if he or she is a good player too.
If you are capable of taking the chance and wagging the bets then luck might be in your way.If you take into consideration the age of Venus Williams and the long journey she had in the Australian open i expected her to not perform at the best and i expected Mladenovic to win atleast a set because it was obvious she will be pretty tired to play the match without much break.

Sure Roger won ,and already started talks that he will be on final masters of this season even if he dont play, interesting is that will do it. Second part of this season will be for him good, why? He didnt play last season second part due to injury so he might be in good position in the final masters at the end of this year.
I think Roger should give it a last try to win a couple more tournaments. When you place 1st you get extra motivation to keep going. He may be 35, but he is in good shape, and as far as I know, he does not suffer from any injuries. On the other hand, Nadal is 5 years younger and he is carrying injuries since ages ago, i think he is worse shape than Federer.
