It could be a juicy day—11/1 already in. Full house if Higgins wins

that's better. All 3 bets win
 

I use the algorithm so that I don't have to spend all my free time watching tennis. The algorithm is never going to pick 100% winners so losses don't bother me as long as I'm profitable,  which I am. 
Good luck with your betting. 

I mean the colours of the Ukraine flag at her hat is not provoking political action? I am neutral, actually i hate both USA and Russia, why somebody from sports to provoke my ideas? 
Or it was just a random colour selection? Okay if it was a matter of randomness i leave it here, and i go to check the men's final. 

Yes, okay, but if any sports person, any tennis player thinks that he/she is patriot, then why they don't donate money for the orphans of the Ukraine? Besides, they do NOTHING useful in their lives aside from hitting balls with a racket...What a shameful thing! To hit a ball by a racket and we the idiots pay them tons of money...Or to hit the ball by the foot and the cannibals on stands cheering them..and  they pay them again tons of money...This is unfair and not viable. The end of the world is NEAR, thanks.
I hope Ruud to give the lesson to Djokovic today. I noticed that Djokovic wins his opponents by the mental power and attitude more that any other tennis weapon. For me, Djokovic is not the same player as he was in Australia open. He looks much weaker in my eyes. I hope Ruud not to be scared as Katchanov who lost the tie break second set 7-0!
I think Ruud to win at least a set is stunning, however i have some reasons to compare this final with the 2015 final between Djokovic and Wawrinka.
Let's see...

Can you believe that. Ugh. 
I wouldn't normally be betting DVD to beat Michael Smith but today he is 11/8 playing Smith having a wrist injury. If he can't beat an injured Smith then he should really be going home.

Manchester United vs Chelsea
The Premier League action starts early this week with this Thursday night clash between Champions League qualification hopefuls Manchester United and Chelsea in a 7:45pm BST kick-off from Old Trafford. The home side are out of form and distinctly short of fit first team squad players heading into this game against a visiting team that appear to be well set to compete at the top table of European football again next season.
Manchester United are in complete disarray right now with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick adopting a defeatist tone as he knows he's set to be replaced imminently by Ajax head coach Erik Ten Hag. The Red Devils are in 6th position and 6 points off the Champions League qualification places having played a game more than 4th placed Arsenal with just 4 league games left to play. You have to say that it looks like a return to the Europa League is on the cards. Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Edinson Cavani, Fred, and Jadon Sancho are all likely to be missing for this game. It doesn't help that top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo has also now faced Chelsea 11 times in the league without scoring. United have lost 5 of their last 8 matches in all competitions. They have also now conceded 51 league goals this season which is only the second time they have conceded 50 goals or more in a Premier League campaign. The team have also taken just 1 point from their 5 league games against the top three clubs so far this season. However, there is a ray of hope in the fact they have only lost 1 of their 11 home league games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure.
Chelsea come into this game in 3rd place knowing that they are on the verge of qualifying for next season's Champions League. It's been a satisfactory campaign for the Blues having won the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and reaching the FA Cup Final and EFL Cup Final. Head coach Thomas Tuchel was disappointed to hear that star centre back Antonio Rudiger is set to leave the club on a free this summer but has insisted that life will go on after his departure. The club are currently on a record run of 8 straight away wins in all competitions. Only Manchester City have earned more points in the league on the road than Chelsea this season. In an even more impressive statistic, Chelsea have only conceded 9 goals in the league away from home this season. Kai Havertz is a decent shout for anytime scorer and could become the first player to score in 4 straight away league games for the club since Diego Costa in 2016.
OK, so Chelsea may have only won 2 of their last 12 matches against Manchester United but I really have no confidence backing United to win a game like this at the moment. It is 8 league encounters without a win for the London club and Chelsea have won just 1 of their last 13 visits to Old Trafford in all competitions but I feel that could change here. I'm backing a narrow away win!

Newcastle vs Liverpool
The opening game in the Premier League on this weekend is the classic clash of Newcastle versus Liverpool in a 12:30pm BST start from St James' Park on Saturday lunch-time. This fixture is packed with vintage moments and epic encounters but with the home team effectively safe from relegation and the away side aiming to keep their title hunt going will we see a one-way match here?
Newcastle come into this game now in an incredible 9th position in the league and 14 points above the relegation zone. It only seems like yesterday that Eddie Howe took over a team that was looking destined for relegation at the foot of the table without a league win to their name. It's a huge credit to Howe for the job he has done to turn the club's fortunes around. There is a chance that the Magpies could win 5 league games in a row for the first time since 2014. Home form has been crucial to their climb up the table with the club winning their last 6 home league games and losing just 1 of their previous 12 home matches in the league. Unfortunately, Newcastle have lost all 5 league games that they have played against teams currently positioned in the top four.
Liverpool are flying right now with their dominant 2-0 win at home to Villarreal in the Champions League Semi-Final first leg in midweek proof that they are determined to keep this quadruple dream alive. The Reds are 2nd in the league and just 1 point behind Manchester City but will move to the top of the table and put the pressure on their title rivals with a win. Jurgen Klopp's men have taken 37 points from the last 39 points up for grabs in the league and the only dropped points in that run was in that 2-2 draw away against Manchester City. It's just 1 loss from their last 27 matches in all competitions. The team are undefeated in their 10 away league games played during 2022 including 8 victories. Mohamed Salah is a decent shout for anytime scorer having bagged 6 goals in his last 7 starts in the league against Newcastle.
It's perhaps not the best news for Newcastle fans that their team are without a win in their last 10 league meetings with Liverpool. There is the opportunity for Liverpool to go 5 league games in a row without defeat at St James' Park for the first time since 1969. Interestingly, Liverpool have failed to take all 3 points in 7 of their last 10 visits to Newcastle. This will be a tough one for the title chasers but I think they'll get the win to keep their title dream alive. Only just though!

Aston Villa vs Norwich
The Dean Smith Derby, to give it the unofficial name, is coming up at 3pm BST on Saturday afternoon as the man who now manages Norwich will take his team to play his former employers Aston Villa at Villa Park. The home side might be getting a case of the twitchy bums about now as they slide dangerously closer to the relegation zone but they could ease their worries with a win against a visiting team that are still firmly rooted to the bottom of the table.
Aston Villa are a team in transition I think it's fair to say. Head coach Steven Gerrard is slowly bringing in his own players and ideas but it's a process not without its issues. Villa are in 15th place and only 8 points above the drop zone after a poor run of 5 matches without a win including 4 defeats. The losing run was halted with the 0-0 draw away to Leicester last weekend but it's still not brought about a much-needed victory. Villa's record against teams bottom of the table isn't great with the club losing 4 of their last 7 league games against clubs in such a position. That statistic is contrasted by the fact that they have won 7 of their last 8 top flight league games against Norwich.
Norwich come into this game as a team that could be officially relegated this round if they lose this game and Burnley win away to Watford. That is a scenario that is quite likely to happen so could this be a dour weekend for the Canaries fans? Smith's men have lost back-to-back matches in the league and conceded 6 goals in those two games after taking 4 points from their previous 2 matches when they played Brighton away and Burnley at home keeping clean sheets in both of those games. Norwich have now become the first team to concede at least 3 goals in 8 league games in three separate Premier League seasons. It's clear to see where their problems lie this season with the team possessing the fewest shots, fewest shots on target, and lowest shots to goals conversion rate in the division.
There is a chance that Aston Villa can win a fifth straight league game in a row against Norwich here. It won't help the already low morale of Norwich fans to hear that their team are without a win in their last 8 top flight league trips to Villa Park. I'm not sure I can see them getting anything here. They know they are Championship bound and Aston Villa remain a team with more quality in their ranks.

Wolves vs Brighton
The final 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League that I'm looking at is the clash between mid-table sides Wolves and Brighton at Molineux. It was a season that promised so much at different stages of the campaign for these two clubs but it now appears to be winding down slowly into mediocrity unless either side can get the win today to put together a positive run to end their season?
Wolves head into this game still with a chance of reaching European competition next season with the team in 8th place and just 3 points off the Europa Conference League qualification spot with a game in hand. It's been 3 losses from the last 4 league games for Wanderers though but Bruno Lage will be pleased that his team have already surpassed last season's points tally so you can argue that they are making progress and heading back in the right direction. Games played at Molineux in the league this season haven't been the most thrilling with the ground seeing the fewest number of goals scored out of any of the grounds. Wolves have only scored 18 goals and conceded just 16 goals in their 16 home league games so far this season.
Brighton are all but safe now in 11th place but there's no doubt a club like this will be keen to try and maximise their income revenue stream by finishing as high up the table as possible. The Seagulls endured a torrid February and March losing 6 league games in a row and scoring just 1 goal in that run but since ending that stretch of defeats it's been just 1 loss from their previous 5 league matches. Graham Potter's men have seen each of their 4 league wins in 2022 come on their travels. Neal Maupay may be the club's top league scorer with 8 goals but he hasn't hit the net in 9 league games now. Is it time for that barren run to end?
There is the chance that Wolves could complete their first league double over Brighton with a victory here. Wolves have either won or lost their last 17 games so it makes total sense for me to think the draw is coming! There's very little separating these two teams right now. Wolves have something still to fight for with European qualification within reach but Brighton are performing a lot better now and finding the net again. It's a big call but I'm going for Wolves draw no bet because I am wary that the away team might scrape something.

Watford vs Burnley
The relegation dogfight could take a major twist this weekend with two of the teams in and around the danger zone coming up against each other in a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon at Vicarage Road as Watford host Burnley. A win for either side would really boost their relegation worries and potentially drag other teams into the mess but a loss or draw could leave them facing a desperate future.
Watford currently sit in 19th position and just 1 point off the foot of the table in the Premier League with the club now 9 points off safety with just 6 league games to play. It's a grim-looking situation for the Hornets but a win here could give their survival hopes one last glimmer of hope. Roy Hodgson's side have now won just 1 of their last 9 league games including losing their last 4 league matches by an aggregate of 12-2. It's probably more important to state that losing this game would all but relegate Watford with Burnley being the team closest to them outside the drop zone right now. Watford could become the first team in Premier League history to lose 11 home league games in a row. The fact they have conceded in each of their last 21 home league games in the top flight doesn't bode well.
Burnley come into this game with their survival chances rejuvenated. I was one of many who questioned their sacking of former head coach Sean Dyche but the Clarets have gone unbeaten in their 3 league games since including winning back-to-back league matches with clean sheets. Both of those victories did come at home though and on the road the club are without a win in 3 away league games. This is the first time since 21st August that they are starting a game day positioned outside the relegation zone. The team have only picked up 1 away league win in 16 attempts this season though. 
If Burnley are looking for an omen from the past then they are unbeaten in their last three Premier League trips to Vicarage Road. It does kind of feel that the wind has gone out of the sails of Watford now. The players seem to appreciate the Championship next season is inevitable and you have to wonder how many players will be sticking around. I'm not sure Burnley will take all 3 points but I'd back them to at least get a draw against a Watford side that might try to put up one last hurrah to prolong their survival fight.

Southampton vs Crystal Palace
One of the dead rubber games in the Premier League this weekend is the 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon between mid-table sides Southampton and Crystal Palace at St Mary's Stadium. Both teams are realistically safe from the threat of relegation barring some miraculous set of circumstances so a lot of the players will know that the lazy time on the beach is just around the corner. Don't want any injuries to hamper the scuba diving sessions now do we?!
Southampton might still be within catching distance of the relegation zone in 13th place and 11 points above the bottom three with only a handful of league games left to play but they've reached the magic 40 point mark. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have once again be flawed by their inconsistency. It is just 1 win from the last 9 games across all competitions for the Saints. However, their home form has generally remained solid with the club losing just 4 of their 17 home league games this season so far but 3 of those defeats have come in their most recent 4 league matches at home.
Crystal Palace will be finding it hard to pick themselves up again for the remainder of the season after that FA Cup Semi-Final loss to Chelsea the other weekend. The Eagles are in 14th place and only 9 points above the drop zone but it'll take a big turn in form by the other relegation candidates below them to see them get sucked into the relegation quagmire now. Patrick Vieira's men are without a win in their last 3 league matches and have failed to even score in their last two league games. Their last two away league games have resulted in defeats. It's really not been a great 2022 for Palace in the league with only Watford, Everton, and Norwich picking up less than Palace's 15 points earned in this calendar year.
The head-to-head record doesn't make for pleasant reading for Crystal Palace fans with their team only managing 2 wins in 21 top flight away games against Southampton. That said, they are this season's draw specialists having drawn 14 league games this season. Southampton have scored in each of those 21 matches and I can see this game being another closely contested affair. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a score draw.

Cardiff vs Derby
The Championship offers us a single midweek game with the re-arranged fixture between relegation battlers Cardiff and Derby in a 7:45pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday night from the Cardiff City Stadium. Both teams are doing their best to stay up this season but with the 21 point deduction working against them the pressure is certainly on the away side to get the 3 points here more than the home team.
Cardiff might still be suffering from inconsistent results but the consistency of the performances is starting to show. The Bluebirds may have failed to win their last 3 league games against Blackpool, Huddersfield, and Fulham but all three games saw the team compete with clubs far higher up the league table. Steve Morison continues to move the club in the right direction and the defence has really tightened up. Unfortunately, the quality of the squad is still lacking so there are some big decisions to be made in the summer. The good news is that the club is up to 20th in the table and 13 points clear of relegation so barring an awful run of form it looks like the Welsh side are safe for next season. It is just 1 loss from the last 5 home league games so there is hope the team can get back to winning ways here.
Derby had looked like putting up a real fight for survival despite their mammoth points deduction. Head coach Wayne Rooney was winning plaudits for his management of the club in their testing times. The Rams are still down in 23rd place and only off the bottom by virtue of goal difference with bottom club Peterborough boasting a game in hand. However, they are 8 points from safety so the great escape is still possible albeit looking quite unlikely. Derby have lost back-to-back games in the league and have won just 1 of their last 15 away league matches including losing their last 4 league games on the road. The team have also failed to even score in 2 of their last 3 away league encounters.
This is a game I think a lot of Cardiff fans are expecting the team to win. Despite not winning the last 3 league matches, Cardiff have still been playing well. Derby are slowly starting to look like a team running out of time and hope. The fantastic form of December and early January has now faded and you have to wonder if the wind has now gone out of their sails as relegation to League One becomes more likely. In contrast, Cardiff fans are getting more and more optimistic of life under Morison and I would be surprised and disappointed if Cardiff don't win this one.

Burnley vs Tottenham
The Premier League delivers a midweek batch of matches consisting of fixtures that have had to be re-scheduled from earlier in the season. The first one coming up is the 7:30pm GMT kick-off between relegation battlers Burnley and Champions League qualification contenders Tottenham at Turf Moor. The away side are heavy favourites but the home team have started to show signs of recovery.
Burnley come into this game having lost just 1 of their last 5 league games leaving the club in 19th place. Sean Dyche's men are still 5 points adrift of safety but with games in hand they have an opportunity to close the gap in matches like this. The Clarets are hoping to have their key duo of Maxwel Cornet and Wout Weghorst available for this game despite being injury doubts. The 3-0 win away to Brighton on the weekend ended a run of 12 matches without a victory. However, Burnley have won just 1 of their last 20 home league games and have failed to even register a goal in 9 of those matches. Weghorst opened his scoring account for the club against Brighton and it now means that his previous 83 league goals have all been scored inside the opposition box.
Tottenham showed that they continue to be the bogey team of league leaders Manchester City on the weekend after an exhilarating 3-2 win over the Citizens. Head coach Antonio Conte will be delighted to see his team get that win that made it just 1 loss from their last 6 away league games. Spurs are up to 8th in the table and 7 points off the Champions League qualification pace but boast a number of league games such as this in hand on the teams around them. The victory over City ending a 3-game losing streak for Tottenham in the league. Tottenham have lost just 1 of their last 20 league matches against teams that start the day in the relegation places. Harry Kane could be an anytime scorer pick here having scored or assisted in each of his last 6 league appearances against Burnley.
Before the weekend, this was a game I could see ending in a dour draw. Now, both teams will be flying high after their respective victories out of the blue. I feel that Tottenham undoubtedly have the better quality squad and arguably possess the better head coach but Burnley showed what a difference Weghorst made to their team. I still think that Tottenham have to be backed for a narrow win here and given his performance against City I will back Kane to score!

Watford vs Crystal Palace
The relegation battle is the focus for the second 7:30pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday evening in the Premier League as Watford play Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road. The home side have given themselves a lifeline but they take on a visiting team who may be out of form right now but still pose a real threat with the attacking qualities they boast throughout their entire squad.
Watford ended a winless run of 11 league games with a narrow 1-0 win away to mid-table Aston Villa on the weekend. Head coach Roy Hodgson required the predatory finishing of striker Emmanuel Dennis to dig his team out of a bore draw. The Hornets are now in 18th position and 4 points from safety but that gap could be reduced to just a single point if they manage a win here. The club remains on a club top flight record of 6 straight defeats at home in the league. The team have also equalled the Premier League record of 17 league games without keeping a clean sheet at home. Scoring goals remains a problem for Watford in the league having bagged just 1 goal in their last 5 league games.
Crystal Palace currently sit in 13th place in the league table and even though they are 8 points clear of relegation the threat of dropping into the relegation quagmire hasn't vanished yet. The Eagles have only earned 2 wins in their last 14 league matches and are now on a run of 6 league games without a victory. Has Patrick Vieira been worked out as a head coach? Palace and Leicester are the only two teams in the top flight yet to win a league game during 2022. Away form has been troubling all season with Palace only picking up 1 win from their 12 away league games... bizarrely, that was against league leaders Manchester City.
The last time these two clubs met was back in March 2020 when Crystal Palace pulled off a 1-0 win at home. Before that game, Watford had gone unbeaten in this fixture in the previous 6 meetings. These two sides have already met this season outside of league action with Watford winning 1-0 at this venue in the EFL Cup back in August. I'm not anticipating a goal fest. These two teams have both failed to score in the first half of a league game this season and the last three meetings have seen 2 goals scored in total. I'm backing a bore draw.

Liverpool vs Leeds
The third and final game in the Premier League on Wednesday night is the 7:45pm GMT kick-off between title contenders Liverpool and relegation battling Leeds at Anfield. The home side come into this game firmly in a two-horse race title fight now after Manchester City's shock 3-2 loss to Tottenham at home on the weekend but can they add another 3 points to their tally against an away team that might be struggling to get results but who also don't stop fighting until the bitter end.
Liverpool had looked to be dropping off the pace of league leaders Manchester City a few months back but a surge in form and City dropping a few points has seen the title race blow back wide open again. The Reds are now in 2nd and just 6 points behind City with a game in hand. The two teams still play each other this season. Jurgen Klopp has the duo of Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota unavailable but he can start with the trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Luis Diaz. Liverpool have now won 8 matches in a row in all competitions. They are also undefeated in 16 Premier League games whilst also boasting the best home defensive record in the top flight having conceded just 7 goals at Anfield in the league this season.
Leeds are still struggling with injuries to their key players as they fight against the drop this season. Despite the team being down in 15th position and just 5 points above the relegation zone after 4 league games without a win including losing 3 of those matches, Marcelo Bielsa still has the full support of the fans. The Whites are set to be without Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, and Robin Koch for this game. Leeds have now earned just 7 points from the last 27 on offer in the league. Defence is clearly an issue right now with the team on the brink of conceding at least 3 goals in 4 league games in a row for the first time since 1960. The 50 league goals they have conceded already this season is just 4 less than the total number they conceded in the league last season.
There appears little hope for Leeds heading into this one. They are without a win in the last 11 meetings with Liverpool with the last victory coming way back in 2001. Liverpool have won their last 3 league meetings with Leeds scoring 10 goals in those matches. Leeds have also only won 1 of their 12 games against teams in the top half of the table. I foresee a solid Liverpool win here.
