Just a single today and it's Teichmann to beat Azarenka. The Swiss has a couple of clean wins behind her, compared to Azarenka who's had to dig in for both of her victories to reach this stage. I wouldn't give Teichmann much of a chance on a hard court, as evidenced by their meeting at the AO where Azarenka was an easy winner, but on clay which is Teichmann's best surface and Azarenka's worst, I think she should be the favourite.

Quiet day today with only the treble and one outright in action. The treble just about came in, but it wasn't looking good when Sinner, who was the shortest leg, lost the first set and then headed towards even money at the start of the second when facing break points. Thankfully he managed to save those points and then break before serving out the set from 0-40. After that he won the third set without much fuss, before going a break behind in the forth after failing to hold from 40-15. Carballes Baena then repeated that trick to hand the break back and then Sinner held after saving a break point before Carballes Baena outdid his previous service game by getting broken from 40-0. That seemed to break the Spaniard's resistance as a relatively easy hold from Sinner followed, before Carballes Baena had to save a load of break points to keep the deficit to just one break. Sinner then held serve in another nervy game where he had to recover from 0-30, which left Carballes Baena needing to hold serve to stay in the match. He got to 30-0 before losing four points in a row to hand victory to Sinner. Based on that performance, Sinner is going home as soon as he meets a better clay court player than Carballes Baena - he just doesn't have nous to win on clay at this level yet.
The outright of mine that was in action was Tsitsipas, and I'm not going to add too much to what I wrote earlier whilst he was playing his match. It's going to be very difficult for him to go much further, both because of fatigue and also because his return game just isn't there right now. For as well as Kolar played - and he did play really well - creating only twelve break points and taking just three of those points across four sets isn't good enough, particularly when you compare it to someone like Alcaraz who although wasteful created nearly twice as many break points during the first four sets of his match against Ramos-Vinolas. That lack of cutting edge on return is what led to three tie-breaks and such a long match and it doesn't matter who you're playing against, your chances of winning a set diminish at the tie-break stage. Tsitsipas won the second set breaker, lost the third and should have lost the forth. On another day he'd have been taken to five sets and maybe even have lost the match because of his inability to break.
Last year's Tsitsipas > This year's Tsitsipas
Don't know why though. Makes no sense. You would expect him to improve but he's getting worse. Worse serve, worse bh...

fellow punters, how does the following Bet Request I made look to you?
French Open 2022 Winner (W) - Rybakina or Mertens or Anisimova or Kasatkina or Tauson at 10.00
Starting to look, kind of, promising? All four girls remain in the tournament so I'm just hoping for the much and long-awaited upset. Who's gonna eventually stop Miss Swiatek from winning another FO title? Better yet, can anyone stop her? Rooting for my girls (Elena, Elise, Amanda & Daria).

I must be the only one who doesn't like Teichmann coz I feel that I read great things about her game everywhere. Just hope you guys are right and she overcomes today's hurdle. A hurdle who never stops grunting lol.

Seb Korda to beat (+6.5 games) Carlos Alcaraz at 1.9 with bet365
Alexander Zverev to beat (-7.5 games) Brandon Nakashima at 1.8 with bet365
Zverev faced a very dangerous opponent on clay in the first round. Baez has potential to achieve great things in the future. Nakashima on the other hand cannot be a serious threat to Zverev. I feel that the scoreline will be something like 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 or an even more comfortable win for the German.
Alcaraz and Korda are tied at 1-1 in their h2h. The Spaniard won in straight sets (4-3, 4-2, 4-2) at the Next Gen ATP Finals in 2021 but Seb avenged his heavy defeat with a 2-1 victory (7-6, 6-7, 6-3) at their recent encounter in Monte Carlo. I expect Korda to be close and I like the line of 6.5 games.
Good luck.

no words for dimitrov.... will never ever bet anything on that guy again, what a complete clown. Doesn t even have the courtesy of abandoning when he's literaly hitting every single ball out and puting 0 effort.

Ever since he came to the spotlight I believed that he was just a huge copycat of Federer (in terms of style) and nothing else beyond that really.

Gille/Vliegen missed a couple of bps at 5-5 and now they lose the breaker. Typical.
Placing several bets on the Belgian couple to prevail though (2.00+). Mahut is no longer the player he used to be.

Gille/Vliegen to win set 2 v Herbert/Mahut in-play at 2.55 with bet365
The French fellas haven't created a single bp in the match so far, which is pretty unacceptable if they wanna achieve something substantial in the current FO.

Holger Noedskov Rune to beat Denis Shapovalov at 2.2 with bet365
Emil Ruusuvuori to beat Ugo Humbert at 1.66 with bet365
Elise Mertens to beat Mari Bouzkova at 1.9 with bet365
Rune aspires to become an established force on clay, and I think that he proceeds slowly and methodically in the right direction. He's a young guy with plenty of ambition. Sure, someone may argue that he's still mentally fragile, but so is his opponent. As far as the game is concerned, I expect Rune to expose and eploit Shapovalov's bh which remains unreliable and weak after so many years; I believe his game is ideal only for grass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruusuvuori and Humbert were considered as hot prospects for the future a few years ago, when they were dominant forces in the ATP Challenger Tour. Both have failed to live up to the expectations of the global tennis community so far. I think the Frenchman thrives on a very specific type of hardcourt (Tokyo Olympics). His game seems to be inadequate, especially on clay. Ruusuvuori possesses more firepower and builds the point better than Ugo on slow surfaces...
------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot understand why Mertens isn't a clear favorite against Bouzkova to be honest. Personally I evaluate her as a much better player than Mari, on all aspects of the game (serve, fh, bh, retrieving skills, creating angles, footwork etc).
Good luck.
Rune ✅
Ruusuvuori ✅
Mertens (walkover) ☑️

Rune was a bargain when he lost the first set to Guinard. I'm pretty sure he's winning this. (ATP Lyon 250 event)

rafa got injured , otherwise the first set was his good clay level. I think shapovalov should do okay on clay actualy, all with his big backswings and being a lefty.
I mean, he's kind of limited, most players manage to expose his backhand, which remains unreliable and shaky most of the times, especially on surfaces with a high bounce like clay. On grass and hard however, he's feeling more comfortable, playing first strike tennis, taking the ball on the rise etc.

shapovalov realy starts to remind me more and more of wawrinka, such talented shotmakers marked by mental frailty and inconsistency.
Shapovalov is gonna be a factor in Wimbledon. He's rather weak and irrelevant on clay, despite his win over Nadal in Rome. Nadal is so far from his best these days...

Okay so Novak is rightfully the slight favorite to win the French Open now....
Who else have you got? Personally, I happen to find the prices of Nadal and Alcaraz awfully short. I wouldn't bet a buck on those guys.
My pick: Novak Djokovic (2.90)
My two dark horses: Sinner (35.00) & Zverev (20.00)

question, are day conditions faster or slower than nigt conditions in tennis ? it seemed like djokovic's ball wasn t as fast in day conditions than yesterday against ruud
Day conditions are always faster. Ruud was hitting the ball with a lot of pace, enabling Djokovic to also hit with similar pace, therefore make his balls look faster than today. Tsitsipas certainly wasn't giving as much pace.

Pavic/Mektic to win 2-0 vs Schwartzman/Isner in-play at 1.75 with bet365
They're now 4-3 down on serve in the second set. They've taken the first set 6-2. Seems like a straight set victory to me. And I like the price - 1.75!
Lol 5-2 up in the breaker and they lose it. Very typical.

Alexei Popyrin to beat Quentin Halys at 2.00 with bet365
Both players have had a great week in Bordeaux reaching the final. However, Popyrin's wins were more convincing and came against stronger opponents compared to Quentin's. The Aussie is surely a tough nut to crack and I think Halys will fail to lift the trophy in front of his home crowd.
Good luck.

Well, the value is on Zverev of course. Zverev to win at least one set at 1.65-1.70 is outrageous.
