  1. My best pick for the match among all the bets placed on the final would be Nadal to win first set.For motivation purposes and from a mentality perspective, many see this game going the distance even the bookies. But Nadal will come out swinging from the fences. He knows Medvedev has better conditioning and his recovery, stamina and age here are a clear deciding factor ; hence why the bookies favour Medvedev, however Nadal would least like this match to go the distance as if it goes to the 5th its 60/40 simply because of age and fatigue. The first set is likely 7-6,7-5 or outright win for Nadal. Otherwise Meddy carries the day.

  2. It's kind of incredible how Berrettini got this far without a solid backhand. Nadal absolutely smashed him and made him pay dearly. The difference between BIG 3 and the rest is just that there way more cerebral about the game than the rest. The reason why Medvedev might accomplish more than Tsitsipas in his career is purely mental. I'd say Tsitsipas is more naturally talented but Medvedev is just smarter and more hard working to improve his game. Coming back from the Felix game shows how composed Medvedev is, he had no right coming back but he was unfazed.

    It was a good slam for anyone who was patient with their picks, I'd say the tournament is more 50/50 than the bookies make it to be. Nadal has an extra gear which he hasn't had to pull most of the tournament. Medvedev has faced some long matches though recovery isn't a problem for him. I have no clear favorite for the final.

    See you in May for the next slam.✌️

  3. The bad boy of tennis Paire will definitely taking Tsitsipas the distance. Unlike most players Paire here won't be intimidated by Tsitsipas status in the tennis universe, infact thrives better as the underdog. Tsitsipas should be occupying Medvedev spot or the world thought so when he dispatched Federer here back in 2019.But the guy's only obstacle to his talent and stature is mental. Cue the bathroom breaks and ability to finish off long tenous matches. Probably top 3 on his day, Paire is his worst opponent. Paire's only enemy is himself(Motivation).

    I haven't bet big this year but I smell an upset .Because if Paire doesn't let up there's no telling if Tsitsipas holds up. At these odds Paire looks too enticing.

  4. I'm liking the odds of Gianluigi Mager today.I think he's a player on the up and had a decent showing Vs Kyrgios at Wimby and even though it's a different surface today it's clear to note he also like clay. No reason why Alex Molcan is better than him.

    I'd suggest him to win a set pre match and go for good overs if it goes on live.

    Will also be backing T Griekspor and Etchverry on the challengers today though I doubt there's good value there from the bookies.GL

    I really don't think Djok has been playing particularly well. Opponents have been average at best. They all looked a little scared, playing the man rather than the opponent. I thought Anderson might bring some game, but he looks to be heading the same way as Murray and Fed. Maybe it's the center court camera angle (Aussie open has the best center court camera angle/coverage. Framed fantastically well), but it seems they are not hitting the ball that hard.

    Shapavalov and Berretinni will be his two toughest challenges. Berrettini is just ridiculously good behind his serve. He is able to serve himself outta trouble over and over again, something tha Djoko is pretty good at too.

    My betting is somewhat skewed because I just don't like Djokovic !

    Even though Berretini is destroying Hubi as we speak Shapovalov is a bigger threat than whoever he meets in the final. Gameplay wise Berretini is tidy, Shapo will be aggressive and fearless with nothing to lose today. I guess only time will tell.

    make it 11..lol.. khachanov has again missed a golden opportunity and whoever holds the serve will win now.

    Khachanov is saved by his serve. Seb Korda is definitely the American to watch. What a match. Experience at a senior level has saved Khachanov today.

    Just messing around with some tennis data that I got from tennis-data.co.uk

    image.thumb.png.468c52170b82e64e71abf521c515b347.png 

    Felix has lost to Karatsev, Humbert, Delbonis, Cilic, Isner, Garin, Evans, Ruud this year. He has the right build to be solid on all surfaces, but he just makes a mountain of mistakes. An uninjured Kyrigos destroys him.

    I think he's been average to poor this Wimbledon, and will hit a Zverev buzzsaw today. The way Zverev has been serving, I cannot see Zverev dropping a set here.

    True anyone who watched the Kyrgios match was taken aback by the lack of competition from FAA.

  8. Even though Isner was largely immobile I don't understand why people are underestimating Nishioka .He dealt with Isner's serve within reason and the match with Bedene(with a good serve) should be close. Bedene is a better player on a faster court but I'm surprised people are underestimating Nishioka here.

    Mikael Ymer to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at 1.95 with William Hill

    Someone posted a little while ago how bad Tsonga has been since returning from injury, and in particular against Gerasimov (his only grass match since 2019). Ymer has played at a decent level recently, defeating Monfils and Carballes Baena at the French Open - before losing 3-0 to Sinner. Ymer will have a big fitness edge, and the confidence that comes from actually winning matches. 

    Tsonga on the other hand has won 1 match since the end of 2019. In 2021 his win:loss is 1:6. He has won a total of 3/17 sets played. 

    I know we're all punters but it's sad to see this guy go this way esp if you watched him in his prime 08-12.Ymer had 28 breakpoints but could only convert 6.The match could have ended sooner but it was down to Ymer making many unforced errors. Sad to see the guy go down this way.

  10. I'll be watching Tallon Grieskpoor today. Clearly anything less than a win for Zverev will be a massive shock, but this guy has the ability to serve bot some matches on faster courts like he did in the qualies. His overs are around 10,11 and rightfully so but I'll be keen when the match goes live. I've watched him over the last two years in the challengers and is clearly someone on the up like Popyrin was 2 years ago. I believe he would have caused an upset were he not facing Zverev like a decent player in the top 50.Even if he doesn't win this today , he'll be someone to watch in the future.

    I haven't watched Kevin Anderson matches.I believe he's a solid top 15 player on his day, any reasons why he's been playing poorly or is age catching up with him .I have an intuition to back a set from Barrios Vela despite this being one of Anderson's favorite surfaces..

    BOOM ?

    It's already underway but I'm taking overs by Barrios Vela. ?

  13. Sorry to say this but going forward consider Tsonga finished. If you have watched him this year and as one of his biggest fans watching him in Barcelona and Lyon was watching a ghost.I doubt this is just a phase given his past injury problems.I was surprised to see him as a favourite today vs Gerasimov but going forward any battle VS anyone ranked in top 70 I'm betting against him on any surface.

    Dominic Thiem (-2.5) to beat Andy Murray at 1.81 with Pinnacle

    Should be the end of Murray honestly, Thiem is a giant step up from Norrie and Murray shouldn't have the fitness to fight against one of the fittest players on the tour. Could be somewhat similar to the match with De Minaur from last week in many ways, but Thiem is obviously even better and (hopefully) isn't going to choke like Berretini did.

    Most solid bet of the week imho so far.
