One deciding frame away from all 3 wins today. Would agree with Maguire but he let's me down so much.
I know right. He might perform very well tonight though.

Paula Badosa/JJ Wolf Parlay: odds 5.5
first meeting matches for both players, and I think I have the more talented player both ways.. Collins beat Trevisan on hard, and tired player now Garcia. I am not impressed with these results at all, and the only advatange for Collins is the home country imo. Badosa traveled from Ostrava to here, and seems to be in form with more work to do.
GL Gents, and stay humble my friends! I've already place the wager clearly in bold text!
ALSO WANTED TO ADD THAT JJ WOLF is an indoor specialist. if you look at his record it's something like 55-26. I don't the exact reason for his success here but it is pretty clear. I think the wrong American is favored to win their match. Albeit. they are some tricky betting lines I will admit.. but should be a hell of a watch.
Agree about the Collins vs Badosa match, disagree on the other. Ymer is on fire.
Meanwhile, Iga opened a new bakery in San Diego lol.

Thank god a winner came at the end there. I was contemplating laying everything I liked
More winners to come when the event really starts hopefully. Well done with Jones.
yeah.. the longer the format, the better for us I think. Thanks.
9 hours ago, Fader said:We're getting a winner this afternoon. In the 2pm matches we have Ben Woollaston taking on Chris Wakelin. I think Woollaston is a solid pick. He made the last 16 of the British Open and beat along the way Mark Williams. He has also beaten Selby this season, at the Championship league and beat Day 4-1 prior to that run from Day. I think he's a better player than Wakelin.

I couldn't agree more. I also believe Jamie Jones will beat Jak Jones.

In the Ivashka vs Feliziano match in Gijon, I'd suggest the following: Total service games - under 19.5 & under 18.5 or Ivashka to cover -5.5 games. Or both.
The game has started. Good luck.
Neither comes in. A really bad day for me punters. Hope your luck is much better.

Ronnie O'Sullivan won the Hong Kong Masters final 6-4, in front of a world record audience of 9.000(!) fans.
It's Ronnie's first title on the tour since sealing a historic record equalling 7th World Championship crown. The Rocket was in control of the match throughout the final, not trailing even once.
"It’s unbelievable. Forget winning the tournament, to play in front of 9,000 fans is just incredible. I’ve been to the ATP tennis in London before and it felt something similar to that. I’ve never experienced it and I didn’t think I would experience that. It is just incredible. The best event I’ve ever played in my life." - Ronnie O'Sullivan

Barbara Krejcikova to beat Iga Swiatek at 3.05 in-play with bet365
Iga in a final might look like a big lock, but today she may actually lose. Krejcikova has looked that good.

Nice call!
I had my doubts cause Tiafoe is in the best moment of his career, but I also think Fritz is the better player and the h2h speaks by itself, as you mentioned.
It's been a close first set, but Fritz has been a little bit more aggressive and that has made the difference.
In the second set Fritz has been clearly the better player but Tiafoe managed to save all those break opportunities... Unlike Fritz, Tiafoe suffered in almost all of his service games so Fritz clearly deserved the straight sets win. Fortunately, Fritz had no problems to win that second tie-break. It wouldn't have been fair to Fritz to go to a third set.
It's never easy to face a player who has beat you the last 4 times, as you said. Again, nice call!
I really like Fritz backhand. I would love to see a backhand battle between Sascha and Fritz peak versions... that would be epic.
Thanks but I was awfully wrong on the other match though. Thought Tsitsipas would manage to win a set... the guy didn't even earned a break point chance.

Stefanos Tsitsipas to win a set - Yes @2.1 with bet365
Taylor Fritz to beat Frances Tiafoe at 1.72 with bet365
Taylor Fritz is one of the best players in the world these days. He has made great progress over the years and it's very pleasant to see him living up to his potential. He captured his first Masters 1000 title at the 2022 Indian Wells in California earlier this year (def. Nadal 6-3, 7-5). With this win he became the first American to win the title since Agassi in 2001. He also ended Nadal's 20-match winning streak. Three months later, Nadal came from behind to beat Fritz in a five-set quarter-final at Wimbledon (Nadal was trailing by a set two times)... Fritz almost had him, Nadal literally gave everything he had that day, which admittedly cost him a severe injury. Anyway my point is, Taylor Fritz has gained immense confidence by these performances and he's no longer "a talented young player"; he's an established true force who can beat anyone on the court.
Tiafoe has also done great things this year. He became the first man to beat Nadal in a major in 2022, after pulling off the upset in front of his home crowd in 2022 fourth round match at the USO (6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3). Nadal certainly wasn't at his best though, looking almost indifferent in many parts of the match. I think he was dealing with family problems, as there had been concerns about the progress of his wife's pregnancy at the time. Tiafoe recently gave Team World their first Laver Cup title after his big win against Tsitsipas (saved 4 match points).
The h2h is 4-1 (all matches played on hard court) in favor of Taylor Fritz. Obviously this is a good match up for Fritz. I'm confident it'll become 5-1 in a few hours.
Tsitsipas has lost in the early rounds at so many tournaments this year, I've lost the count. He kind of redeemed himself this week, by winning two big matches in a row (Hurkacz in straights, and a comeback win against Rublev). Can he make that three in a row and lift the trophy? I'd say yes. But my approach is much more conservative, so I just want a set from Stef.
Good luck.

What a great 147 from Fu in the decider in front of 7000-8000 people! That must the highlight of his career, I must say he's playing a lot better than we all expected - I hope he goes on to win the trophy.
Congrats to Fu for the maximum break he scored in front of his home crowd, that was certainly impressive.
As for the big final tomorrow morning (for us Europeans), I'd say there's a very slim chance he beats Ronnie. And to be honest, I'm rooting for Ronnie, because, aside from the fact that I'm a big fan, I feel that this prestigious Hong Kong Masters trophy would boost his chances of becoming the eventual BBC Sports Personality of the year.
-
Hmm, Rybakina on serve is just awesome right now. She's driving the ball wherever she wants, almost toying with Petra. She has this weird disbelief on the break points she earns though. Cannot convert so far (0/9).

Ronnie vs Robertson tomorrow, the expected blockbuster semifinal we wanted to see. It's a 50/50 match, but Robertson is cynical, not showing excessive respect to Ronnie in general. He's actually one of the very few players who are routinely beating Ronnie over the last few years.

Selby/Robertson final, I reckon
I certainly believe they're both winning against Fu & Williams respectively.

An event we've not seen since 2017 in which Neil Robertson won, we're in Hong Kong for this invitational event. Just 8 players here. 2 matches a day tomorrow and Friday. Semi finals on Saturday and the final on Sunday.
I like Mark Selby this weekend. He looks to have put his issues behind him recently and looked solid at the British Open. I think he beats Marco Fu tomorrow and then he would face Trump or Higgins. I don't think he would fear playing either of those. I actually thing Higgins would cause the biggest issue for Selby. I'll take him to win this event.
3pts M. Selby to win Hong Kong Masters 9/2 bet365
Perhaps. But it's highly unlikely that John will overcome the obstacle called J-Trump. Judd owns him.
I think Ronnie, Judd and Mark will all prevail. My choice will be Zhao Xintong to beat Neil Robertson, although I cannot find this match anymore... Something must have happened.

Can fully understand that, with Lewis. It's a tricky card, tonight.

We have 32 players and it's best of 3 sets in round 1, best of 5 sets in round 2 and the Quarter Finals. Best of 7 sets in the semi finals ans best of 9 sets in the final. Each set is a best of 3 legs.
Peter Wright vs Krzysztof Ratajski - Total sets: over 3.5 at 1.44 with bet365
Ratajski will fight hard to get his long awaited first win against Wright. I think he may come very close tonight.
MvG to beat (-1.5 sets) Stephen Bunting at 1.61 with bet365
MvG might look a bit vulnerable at certain times, but I won't be surprised if what we witness tonight is him toying with his opponent. He can destroy Bunting if he's focused from the start of the match.
3-1 or 3-0 for me.
I agree with @Fader on Lewis vs Dobey, but I just can't trust Lewis these days, no matter how good and effective he was the other night. It could well have been a short glimpse of his glorious past, I don't know. Clayton somehow finds ways to win matches he shouldn't have won, I completely agree. Very difficult to predict, but I'd go with him beating VdB if I had to choose.
Good luck.

So you think Chisnall beats Van den Bergh tonight? Shit, I have already backed the Belgian to win...
1 hour ago, Fader said:Really depends on how Chisnall reacts after his first big title. Even if he had lost though, he normally performs in this event. Van Den Bergh has gone out R1 in 2 of the last 3 attempts. Out in R2 in the other. Doesn't mean Chisnall wins ofcourse but we'll see.
Van den Bergh wins.

Day 1 I'll be taking a few boosted trebles with PP. I think Ratajski beats Rydz. I like experience in this event and Chisnall has a great record, here. Bunting Vs Dolan could go either way really but I think aslong as Bunting doesn't lose the plot with the Double in then the 5/1 looks a solid pick. MVG beats Anderson for me. DVD Vs Clayton could be the tie of the night.

Hmm, I cannot resist the temptation of buying Ryan at 3.2, it's such a juicy price to ignore.

He did until he was 3-2 up. Choked big time in frame 6 and that was it. Williams wins 3-4 in the end.
