It will go ahead I reckon. But some clouds hanging over the preparation events now.

The fact that Korda is still choky in pressure situations.

Well, Korda did almost choke the match away, it's a shame that Norrie threw in his worst performance of the tournament in that encounter. Hurkacz is the more experienced of the two and that might very well be the factor to decide the match. No recommendations from my side.

It's worth noting that there will be a break after today and that we'll get only one Challenger tournament in the upcoming week (unless I'm missing something).

Cameron Norrie to beat Sebastian Korda at 2.21 with Pinnacle I'm not quite sure what makes Norrie the underdog in this one, I think that it's 50/50 at worst for the Brit. Korda did beat Isner, but that doesn't count for THAT much nowadays and this will be a different match-up, closer to the one with Paul where he struggled big time on occasions. Norrie looked incredible in patches against Tiafoe and had only a few bad patches of play. Everything above evens is worth taking imo.

I'd definitely rather be on the over than on the under, but, as you've mentioned, Hurkacz is by far the better player. I can see him winning by several breaks if he's on, though Harrison has a good enough serve to keep in tight and that's why I'd stay away. Not only that, but he also has the right mindset and is having the event of his life.

@darko08 Didn't get to see the first set, but Alves had chances in the second. Even with the result, I think he was a bit underrated and shouldn't have been as high as 5.75 in places. About 3.75 perhaps. I'm pretty sure I'm going to back him on clay at some point.

Hi and welcome to the forum @Olymp! No, I do not grade my bets on the forums, but I can tell you that the last season was losing after a few profitable ones. Is there any data point you'd like to see or is that actually a dig haha?

Well, remember how Ostapenko won the French Open and then didn't get much for quite some time? 🤣

Veronika Kudermetova to beat Marta Kostyuk at 1.61 with Bet365 Fully agree with @darko08 here, even 1.61 is value, I'd go for something like 1.50 or even a tad lower as fair odds. She's been great so far in this season and is a level above Kostyuk in most regards. Unless she runs out of stamina, she'll win this comfortably.

Yep, Korda needed a treatment in the first set, carried a tape from then on. His movement didn't look limited, though, so perhaps that won't be much of an issue. I'd look for how the first games go to get a better grasp.

Yeah that looks like something that could easily happen @AgaRadwanska, Kostyuk is quite prone to self-destructing, very little consistency and it sounds like she had it easy against Zidansek. 2.75 is something I wouldn't be afraid of honestly, there should be at least a slice of value there.

Felipe Meligeni Rodrigues Alves (+5) to beat Tomas Machac at 1.97 with Pinnacle I suppose that most mainstream tennis fans are yet to hear about Alves, but I saw him a couple of times last year and he's a decent prospect. He even took a set off Thiem back in February and he had a tremendous end to the year, as he won the Sao Paulo Challenger before losing in the semis of the Campinas Challenger. In the qualifiers, he's already managed to dispatch Klizan 6-1 6-4 and I wouldn't make him such a big underdog against Machac. Machac is better than Alves on hard courts, no doubt about that, but

Alright, it's time for us all to move onto the second week of the season! Good luck!
