  1. the wta match the intrigues me today is the sabalenka vs anisimova. I have seen some of their previous matches. Saba has not been impressing me much, while i saw anisimova's match against bertens and she looked good. Clay might be more suitable to anisimova than to saba. your thoughts?

     

    another wta match which might offer some value is Bolsova vs sorana. Sorana struggled in her previous match while Bolsova has won 4 on the trot. at odds of 2.14 there seems to be some value. 

  2. the WTA card looks like a complete coin toss. However that represents some value for a medium stake bet.

    Osaka vs bertens

    I have gone against Osaka in both her matches. she has patches where she plays well, but when she has won a set, her opponent has helped her by spraying unforced errors. kerber was serving for the match against osaka and lost her head to lose the second set 7-5. Bertens was 3-0 down against stephens and lost the first set only on TB. Won the second and had chances to break in third but couldnt convert. KiKi i feel is playing the better tennis and has the game to trouble Osaka. So i shall be backing the dutch at 2 odd.

     

    Kerber vs Stephens

    Can someone confirm that stephens coach is not with her in this tourney? while a case could be made for both, i think kerber has a knack of putting alot of balls back in play. While Stephens will like to keep the rally short and go for her winners. Now i'm hoping stephens has an off day so Kerber can capitalize. Kerber has made me win money in both her matches, so i will continue to back her.

     

    Both results could be completely different but this is my read on what i have seen so far. BOL

    Good pick .. I was leaning Kerber but I didn't want to give my opinion on the match.. Kerber has let me down so many times.. I also prefer Kerber in the next round vs stephens as well.. Does anyone have thoughts on this ? 

    :drums

    Thanks. it wasn't an easy win..kerber in the second set serving for the match loses the set 7-5. Sloane and kerber really is a coin toss. guess will make a decision on it by tomorrow.

  4. great to see the tennis thread active:ok

    The match i am intrigued by is the Kerber vs Osaka match. I saw both of their first round matches. While both lost, really do feel Osaka was worse. Kerber vs bertens in the third set was break after break so it could have gone either way. Osaka struggled big time against Sloane, and the 6-1 third set score reflects that. I dont understand how she is the fav. So i'm gonna be backing Kerber at 2.03. BOL

  5. Did anyone get to see Sloane's match against Anett? Was she playing remarkably well or did Anett just crumble? 

    I saw the Kasatkina match, she broke very first game and then when on her game gave three BPs by 3 consecutive Dfs.Tthat was put down to her playing for the first time on that particular court. Through out the match anypowerful returner could have smashed the first & second serves being put up by Kasatkina. While the young russian has all the talent in the world, this will be uncharted territory for her. All remaining players will be highly motivated as this title is there for anyone to win.

    Really feel value lies with Sloane.

  6. I saw both of serenas previous two matches.. excepted her to struggle in both of them. Against Barty in the first set. it was Serena playing bad rather than Ashley playing particularly good. 2nd & 3rd set,,Barty threw everything at Serena and she came top everytime. 

    Maria against KaPlis was a less intense affair. KaPlis hardly had anything to offer making it way easier for shara.

    Really feel if Shara can keep her first serve percentage up, she has a chance. but expect it to be a tight match.

  7. Klizan..what can be said about him..his performance in the qualies was an utter joke..he saved mps yesterday to progress..3 setters in 3 days is bound to take a toll on him.Agree with most of Czechs picks but Klizan i'm not gonna be touching. Having said that he'll probably cruise home.

    Best of luck everyone for this years french open:ok

  8. Really feel there is money to be made in both the WTA matches.

    I backed Kaskatina in the previous match giving into the whole "Petra  has played 8 matches in the past 10 days". But from little bit of what i saw of the match, she blew away her opponent. Now Pliskova was much more impressive in her match against Halep. But she is infamous for going missing in the later stages of the tournament. I think it will boil down to the first set, if petra loses it, its hard to see her winning the next two. Backing KaPlis.

     

    KiKi has made me alo't of money this tournament. Backed her agaisnt Woz and Shara and she won both of them. It feels she has her head screwed on straight this week. Garcia has been impressive for a couple of weeks now. She is keeping it simple and it has been paying dividends. As much as i want to back KiKi, i feel garcia can win easy points on her serve which might prove to decisive in the end. She is yet to lose a set this week. Backing Garcia.

  9. Really feel all the dogs have a chance. Wouldn't touch any of them to be honest. Anderson couldn't serve out the second set and got broken. Then choked a mini break in tie break and was down set point. Philip choked hence handing him the set. So i would be careful.

    Denis has been a surprise in this tournament given he doesn't have much exp on clay. But beating Milos is no small feat given he just beat an Dimi in the previous match. Kyle can easily go missing.
