I have placed the following bet:
Djokovic v Hurkacz 2-0, Nadal v Alcaraz 0-2, Rublev v Tsitsipas total number of Sets: 3, FAA v Zverev 0-2.

Unreal achievement. A living legend. Surely has to be BBC Sports Personality of the Year in December unless England somehow wins the World Cup - inevitably Harry Kane would be in the spotlight for the prestigious award.
Ronnie is officially in the same bracket of elite legends of sport as Roger Federer, Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan etc.
Is he the most prolific sportsman we've ever seen so far? I would say YES.

I wouldn't make him favourite, but it's definitely up for grabs now. Bad session from O'Sullivan.
I think Ronnie has always been a reliable frontrunner, especially at the Crucible. Hope he doesn't choke lol

KORDA choker of the month.
6:4 5:2 and match point
6:4 *5:3 and 30:0 and he managed to lose all that.
Incredible. Sometimes i really hate tennis and betting
The guy has no heart

Trump has alligator's blood... I hope Ronnie won't underestimate him in the big final.

I think Trump is bang in trouble. Yes Williams played out of his skin, but Trump still had chances in some of the frames he didn't win and if you don't take them then of course you can get punished and especially at this level. Should be a tense finale and a final frame decider wouldn't surprise me now, which would be remarkable given some of the leads that Trump has held. If Williams manages to win then this'll be one for the ages.
Trump has youth on his side though...and the stamina to last the course. Last night's heroic effort from Williams might take a toll on him today. All I'm saying is that all prospects are open.

wow Judd. 2-9, 4-11 & 5-12 smh.. ?♂️

Yeah, I think Ronnie beats Higgins and likely wins the title. Williams / Trump will be close for sure. Would love to see Mark/Ronnie final but you can't argue with the 4 semi-finalists in terms of quality.
I think Ronnie beats Higgins and Judd beats Williams.

Bingtao, Ronnie, Judd & John. My picks. Good luck.

Delighted he's finally won a big match against the tournament fave. Hope he can keep it going against John. I'm rooting for a Mark/Ronnie final but would be magic to have Judd vs Jack however fantastical that idea might be! We'll probably end up with a Yan/Maguire final?
Yan vs Ronnie final ?

It's hard to imagine Neil Robertson getting eliminated by Lisowski...I suspect a nice comeback win. Do you? @charliepie @Fader @Torque

Judd Trump after his win over Vafaei : "I think my cue action is one of the worst on tour".
That's a rather shocking statement by Judd, wow. Worst? He could have said "unorthodox". Personally I won't be surprised if he wins his Quarter or even reach the final. We all know he's out of form and perhaps he's feeling mentally drained, but he certainly possesses all the skills required to taste the glory of ultimate success at the Crucible again.

Can't find the frame scores anywhere(for Maguire), the McGill match is also a worry for the century bet! The -1.5 must have been for the session you would have thought...

No, turns out it was a huge mistake. Glad I took advantage of it. ??

@Fader @Torque @charliepie I've found Xintong (-1.5 frames handicap) to beat Clarke at 1.3 on my local bookie. This is a huge(?) mistake, isn't it?

True. I'm not sure but I'd guess he was in better form ahead of those 3 wins though.
Yeah but I mean, a player who's in bad form for an extended period of time isn't necessarily doomed to remain in this bad form. Also, let's not forget that this is a very prestigious and glamorous Masters 1000 event. I feel pretty sure that Tsitsipas and Zverev are cruising past Djere and Carreno Busta respectively today. Let's see what happens.

Linda Fruhvirtova to beat Ana Konjuh at 2.00 with Bet365
I don't trust Fruhvirtova to be a strong favorite yet, but she's the underdog against Konjuh, who was struggling physically in her most recent matches and who's on a poor streak in any case. Fruhvirtova will have to calm down from all the adrenaline, but, if she does, she will beat Konjuh I feel. At 2.00, this looks worth a shot to me.
Linda delivers ?

Good luck mate. Who you fancy for the night win?
MvG or Clayton.
Dark horse - Gary Anderson

Who else fancies Jessica Pegula winning a set (or even the match) tonight? So many consecutive straight set victories for Iga... I feel she's bound to drop a set. Jessica was the winner (5-7, 6-4, 6-1) on their only encounter so far in Washington (Summer 2019). On the other hand, Swiatek is fearless and very confident these days... Anyway, at 2.4-2.45 there is value I can not pass up.
Good luck.

Tsitsipas ?? leads 7-4 in the head-to-head against Zverev ??
The German won their most recent encounter at last week's Madrid Open in three sets.
I know the high altitude helped Zverev in Madrid, but Sascha is hitting the ball very well in Rome as well, so I'm going with him taking at least one set today. I think he can also win the match, reach the big final and even beat Novak in the end.
