And Azarenka quits. Why doesn't she just go through the last 3 games. Only takes 5 minutes?
Of course she quits lol. I don't care though, the Czech wonderkid grabbed the 1st set so ✌️?

bet365 has a few enhanced odds. I fancy Nicole Kidman (Being the Ricardos) to win Best Actress in a Leading Role at 7.00 (was 6.00)
I also like Licorice Pizza to win Best Writing - Original Screenplay at 2.25
Good luck. ?

Okay so I decided to go with the Czech wonderkid today. Watched how she beat Mertens and I really liked her attacking mentality and the set of skills she possesses. She's almost 17 which is ridiculous lol. I see tremendous potential on this girl, let's hope the fruition will come in the (near) future for her.
Linda Fruhvirtova (+1.5 sets) to beat Vika at 2.2 with bet365

1.55 (McDonald +1.5 sets), 1.4 (Koolhof/Skupski), 1.3 (Nakashima +1.5 sets) all coming in. ?
What's even more impressive is that both 7.5 (St. Peter's Peacocks win) and 2.7 (+8.5 pts game handicap) are coming in as well. I hope at least one of you folks followed me.

St. Peter's Peacocks to beat Purdue Boilermakers at 7.5 with bet365
St. Peter's Peacocks to beat (+8.5 pts handicap) Purdue Boilermakers at 2.7 with bet365
The little-known college from New Jersey has a terrific roster with really good and awfully underrated players. I think they can actually win.

Mackenzie McDonald (+1.5 sets) to beat Grigor Dimitrov at 1.55 with bet365
Brandon Nakashima (+1.5 sets) to beat Frances Tiafoe at 1.3 with bet365
Wesley Koolhof/Neal Skupski to beat Lloyd Harris/Matwe Middelkoop at 1.4 with bet365
Good luck folks. ?

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs Jordan Thompson - Total Number of TBs in the match - Over 0.5 @1.83 with bet365
I just think we'll see at least one breaker on this one. Wouldn't be surprised if the odds were shorter so I'm gonna chase the tie-break here.
[Over 1.5 TBs in the match is at 7(!). I'm chasing this one as well].

Many Americans still in the tournament (Opelka, Brooksby, Fritz, Isner). My gut tells me that the trophy ? will eventually go to one of those guys. It's time an American did something significant in men's tour
Indeed an American lifts the Indian Wells trophy ?, congratulations Taylor Fritz. Amazing progress, beautiful to watch ?

Onto the second semifinal, I'm going with Nadal to win the match, plain and simple. No matter how talented Alcaraz might be, I just don't think he can stop Nadal from reaching another big final. We're probably gonna witness the legendary Spaniard retrieve almost every ball landing on or near his baseline. At some point Alcaraz will start missing the target and Nadal will grab another win.

You should have been braver @Foo_Fighter The match line and straight sets came in. Seriously though, the bet you took was safer and was a good price and that's always better in the long run.
I also had 6€ on Taylor Fritz to win the match at 3.00 but where I really had plenty of faith was that he was going to win at least one set today.

I'm not sure I remember Berdych, Wawrinka or Tsonga as reliable set closers, but certainly Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have been and maybe that's a big reason why they've been so dominant over the years - getting into a winning position and being able to cross the finish line without fuss.
I meant they were (along with del Potro) more reliable than the current top players (Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev, FAA, De Minaur, Rublev, Kyrgios, Taylor Fritz etc). Anyway, we have another straight set victory for Taylor Fritz against Rublev.

What is it this tournament with players serving out sets... lost count of the amount of times there's been a break when a hold would have been the end of the set.
Goes to show the lack of mental fortitude in the current generation of male tennis players. We seldom watched Berdych, Wawrinka, Tsonga etc. failing at serving out sets a decade ago. Now it is a common thing to see Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Taylor Fritz etc choking big time at crucial moments serving for the set or the match lol. I'm really starting to believe that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic might be the three best players of all time, by far.

I think a bit of both. I'm sure Korda has said in the past that Nadal is an idol of his, so when he realised that he had a really good chance to beat him then nerves probably set in, plus Nadal had obviously decided he wasn't giving up and so battened down the hatches and started to play really high percentage shots, probably sensing that Korda was getting nervous.
Exactly.

I agree with all of that. All I would say though is I haven't been impressed by how Fritz has served this week. He was very close to losing right at the start here against Munar because he wasn't serving well.
I know right? Crazy how Taylor Fritz and Nadal have managed to survive against certain players in this tournament. Seb Korda was serving at 5-2 in the deciding set lol. Mental midget? Pure greatness by Nadal? A combination of the two?

It's just that I regard Rublev as a bit of a one-dimensional player. An exceptional one-dimensional player though. Taylor Fritz has evolved immensely throughout the years, he is no longer a raw talent anymore. He's trying to work the angles during the rallies in order to get the edge of winning the point, he's also added significant power to all of his shots without missing the lines... always a trustworthy server as well (as most of the Americans). My point is he's a versatile tennis player. @Torque

Taylor Fritz to win a set at 1.72 with bet365
The h2h stands at 2-2 (all matches played on hard court) so far. Taylor Fritz came out on top on their most recent encounter in Paris (a straight set victory for the American). It is remarkable to say that Rublev has defeated Taylor Fritz in Dubai (straight sets) and in Milan Next Gen ATP Finals (in 5 sets), whereas in two Masters 1000 Event matches played between them, Taylor Fritz has prevailed an equal number of times in straight sets (IW 2018, Paris Masters 2021). I've watched both players in the current IW and I'd say their level of play seems to be quite equal. Perhaps the American's fh can turn the scale in his favor. At least that's how I evaluate the match.

I can see what you're saying, but I lost faith in Dimitrov a long time ago. I'm no big fan of Rublev either, but out of the two he's the one I want to side with.
Also, Rublev's double handed backhand might cause serious trouble to Dimitrov's one handed bh. He can target and damage his opponent's weak backhand relentlessly throughout the whole match if he wants. I expect him to do so.

She's definitely a wonderkid. But expect her results to be volatile in the short term, even though her potential is far beyond Ignatik's.
So you think she's gonna beat Ignatik?

Is Brenda Fruhvirtova a wonderkid? I've read comments praising this girl over here. Do you guys think she'll get the win tomorrow in Turkey?

Murphy v Trump, who you got?

Friday 24 Dec 2021 09:19AM
Judd Trump will have his eyes set firmly on the £100,000 top prize when he competes in the inaugural Nirvana Turkish Masters in 2022.
The venue for the new world ranking event was confirmed last week – the magnificent Nirvana Cosmopolitan Hotel in Antalya. The tournament will run from March 7 to 13 in 2022 and it will be the first professional event staged in Turkey, under a four-year agreement between WST, the Turkish Billiards Federation and Big Break Promotions.
"Looking at the money and the £100,000 first prize, it is actually one of the bigger events of the season,” said Trump, who is an ambassador for Select Car Leasing.

I expect Trump to show up extremely motivated and probably reach the Final again, right after the Welsh Open Final which was a big failure for him - a lopsided defeat at the hands of Perry (9-5).
