Good spot!

Not for me, a strange scoring system and questionable motivations.

Kenin is a crazy case honestly. The talent is there, though. I think that she's going to steal a 250 title somewhere still.

Hi and welcome to the forum @ccdeville! I don't think that she'd go to 6-1 in the TB if she rigged the set, that's just too dangerous. She's always been a headcase, but yeah, hard to know the motivations now in this part of the season. She certainly didn't give it her best, just like Blinkova.

Yeah, I think I'm done until the AO prep events.

Bencic hasn't played enough yet to say, Osaka is all over the place and I can see her quitting soon again, Svitolina can still enjoy some reasonable results.

Anna Blinkova to beat Varvara Lepchenko 2-0 at 1.83 with Bet365 Blinkova seemed to be taking things seriously against Ruse, while Lepchenko struggled against Rouvroy, unexpectedly so as well. Solid odds among what you can find for these kinds of tournaments.

Welcome back @bymatrix!

Lucky? More like star treatment imo!

That's a massive handicap on Sherif, but fingers crossed!

Darja Semenistaja to beat Emiliana Arango at 1.50 with Bet365 Here I think Semenistaja is a very decent favorite, Arango hasn't played well for a while, and Semenistaja tends to thrive against lesser opposition. Rarely punching above her weight, but this isn't above her weight by any stretch.

Francisca Jorge to beat Leolia Jeanjean at 2.25 with Bet365 Same reasoning as when I was opposing Jeanjean in the previous bet. The conditions could very well frustrate her, and Jorge is one of those sticky players that are hard to get rid of if you don't have endless patience, which Jeanjean most definitely doesn't. Either she blows Jorge off the court or she loses.

Louisa Chirico to win a set against Renata Zarazua at 1.80 with Bet365 Chirico has always been a fair bit below Zarazua quality-wise, but she has a 2-0 record against her, with one of those wins taking place this year in Bastad. The match-up seems to be good, then, and Chirico's recent performances inspire enough confidence for me to back her to win at least a set today.

Good comeback from Carle. Hard to see past Sherif in the tournament though, she seems to be a cut above everyone else.

Pliskova has never cared too much, honestly.

Maria Lourdes Carle to beat Leolia Jeanjean at 1.44 with Bet365 Very specific conditions in Colina, somewhat hard to control the ball, and Carle looked fine against Anderson in how she dealt with them. Jeanjean tends to be very up and down, and she can be very erratic when things start going even slightly off in terms of bounces, etc.

Is anyone watching the BJK Cup?

🥲

Casper Ruud to beat Andrey Rublev at 2.50 with Bet365 This looks like a fair bit of value to me, should be closer to 50/50 imo. I'd even dare to say that Ruud has looked a bit better so far this week, and his mind tends to be present more than Rublev's.

I haven't seen either recently, but the pre-match odds look a bit short to me. I'd be happy to hope for him to get broken early and then back him though. He has that comeback factor and Rublev can go mental, as you say.

Yeah it's a bit strange that Ruud knew about it.

🤑

The Riyadh event is turning into a farce lol.

Well, some of those names aren't exactly new I think, and you have to give them some credit haha. I'm most surprised by Krejcikova this week, she shouldn't really even be in the tournament, but there you go.

He's playing until the French Open 2025 I believe, but good to see!
