    Dayana Yastremska to beat Garbine Muguruza at 1.95 with SportingBet
    I'm a big fan of Ms. Yastremska, and she has deposed of her previous two opponents with relative ease. Obviously Muguruza will be somewhat more of a challenge than her two previous opponents, however, Yastremska beat Muguruza in Luxembourg last year in straight sets (6-2, 6-3) despite having to back up from her win in Hong Kong the previous week.

    Doesn't look strange to me, Goerges with some health problems and this kind of comebacks is fairly standard in WTA.

    @four-leaf I don't think that KennyDelight was implying that Niculescu is such a player, at least from what I can read.
    Victor Estrella to beat Liam Broady at 2.25 with William Hill
    I'm giving Estrella one more chance after that big disappointment from last week. He wasn't all that poor, he just missed a couple of BPs, gave away his first one and fell apart. Broady isn't as good or talented as Altamirano though, no interesting recent results, and the only thing that can give him some hope here is his serve. Things are probably not going to be easy, but I'd have the odds the other way around here.

    Dayana Yastremska to beat (-1.5 sets) Arantxa Rus at 1.82 with Unibet
    Dayana shouldn't have any problems taking out Arantxa in straight sets. I don't see any obstacles for this favourite not to win this in two since she is the far better player. Arantxa seems to have gone on a bad streak to not winning as mutch as she'd wanted last few months and Dayana is clearly a player on the rise since last season.

    Rafael Nadal to win Australian Open 2019 at 1.80 with Bet365
    If a miracle happens and Pouille wins tomorrow, this is going to be a massive value, but the real reason for me going for Nadal now instead of tomorrow is that I don't think that the odds are all that likely to increase. Djokovic would need to play really well for that to happen and I'm not convinced that he will, as he's had plenty of strange blips in this tournament already. I was looking forward to Tsitsipas getting something today, but Nadal was just spectacularly good and I think that he's the best player of the remaining trio at this moment in time.

    True, however, unlike Djokovic, he has not lost a set. He inexplicably lost a set to Shapovalov and was in command of the 2nd set against Medvedev but then lost it in a TB. Djokovic's serve looks quite vulnerable to be quite frank, something that I'm sure Nadal has noticed.
    Nadal is playing on another level...

    Petra Kvitova (-4.5) to beat Danielle Collins at 1.80 with Pinnacle
    Skipping the Tsitsipas bet, I wanted to get evens for him to win a set. I am, however, going to back Kvitova to build on her run and beat Collins in a better fashion that she did in Brisbane. She's certainly improved since then and, most importantly, she's already been to Grand Slam SFs, which tend to come with a lot of pressure that isn't easy to deal with. If Collins drops her serve early on, this could be over very quickly.

    Djokovic (-7,5 games) to beat Nishikori at 2.10 with bet365
    Nishikori can't have much energy left in his body after that gruelling 5-hour marathon match against PCB. Nishikori had to play couple long matches before that too (against Majchrzak and Karlovic), and I believe that will show in this match. Great odds on Djoker here IMO.

    Rafael Nadal (-6,5 Games) to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas at 2.00 with 888
    Nadal started here with a bad match against Duckworth but since then he has played better and better in every round. He has not dropped any set and he has covered this line in all his matches. He has improved his serve and only Duckworth has break him in his first match here (his only bad match in this tournament). Tsitsipas is one of the biggest surprises here but I think that he still doesn’t have enough weapons to hurt the actual version of Nadal.

    Haha, I put a bet on Kvitova yesterday @5/1 thanks to @darko08. Was still fairly good odds, but obviously the odds have considerably shortened since she won against Barty, so not sure if it is worth it now.

    What? The final score of the championship is going to be Stefanos Tsitsipas d. Lucas Pouille 7-6 4-6 6-4 6-2! Seriously though, I think that Tsitsipas could take a set off Nadal, let's see what the odds are going to be.

    Pliskova to beat Muguruza @ 1.80 with SportingBet
    This pick is largely based on Pliskova's big lead in the H2H, winning 3/4 times in 2017 alone. I do confess that I have not managed to watch any of Pliskova's games, however, having watched the Muguruza/Bacsinszky game, I do think a better player, like Pliskova, could better take advantage of Muguruza's serve, which was looking a tad vulnerable (in contrast to the game vs. Konta).

    Muguruza does look opposable from certain points of view, but I'd just like to say that I watched her match against Konta and that it was a really good one with a lot of splendid hitting and without any of the big errors that you typically see in WTA matches. If she plays on the same level, I'm not sure what Timea will be able to do.

    Rafael Nadal (-5) to beat Tomas Berdych at 1.85 with Marathon
    I watched both today and I can't see Berdych doing much even in his current form. The mental handicap is still going to be there most likely and Nadal's somewhat improved serve should be crucial in making the Czech suffer.

    Wow Sabalenka got destroyed. I didn't think Anisimova could keep up consistency but if she is going to keep playing like that she could create more upsets.

    Maria Sakkari (+5.5 Games) to beat Ashleigh Barty at 1.72 with 888
    Barty at 1.22 against Maria Sakkari is ridiculous, I expected higher odds so I think there is value on betting for Sakkari. Barty is playing so well but Sakkari is in a good shape too so I expect a close match.

    Raonic was struggling at the end with an injury. I'd be very cautious in backing him any further.
