If pressed, I'd be on Ostapenko, but I don't see much value in the odds.

🥲

I would dare to say that Waltert has an above average serve (relative to her ranking), but Volynets should have a decent edge in rallies, Waltert is a bad mover.

Also worth noting that Ostapenko has a 5-0 record against Swiatek.

If anything, I like Griekspoor's chances to take a set off Zverev, has a reasonable record against him.

💫

Not so bad? It's excellent work mate!

Yeah all look reasonable, Zverev/Fils should have no motivation issues either hopefully.

Also worth noting that the Charleston clay is somewhat different than your typical European clay. Quite a few bad bounces in the qualifying around the lines from what I've seen.

😉

Perhaps I'd just stay around, wait for the start of the match, and see how Kyrgios plays before placing a bet. I'd love to see him play a good match for once, but he might actually retire before that happens.

@neilovan if he cares, that is. He didn't seem to care enough in Australia, his home country. Personally, I'd stay away from the match, but I couldn't bring myself to stake a cent on Kyrgios until he actually shows intent.

Camila Osorio to beat Victoria Mboko at 1.91 with Bet365 Unless there's a big physical issue with Osorio that I don't know about, I'm not sure where this liking of Mboko is coming from. Sure, there's a lot of talent and potential there, but Osorio is a top 30 player on a good day, and she has more experience with strange conditions if the solid wind shows up again.

Claire Liu to beat Linda Fruhvirtova at 1.72 with Bet365 Despite the good results, I didn't like Fruhvirtova's performances all that much in the qualifying, Marino gifted her the match on a platter honestly. She's been quite inconsistent in recent times, and Liu beat her the last time around. Solid fav imo, should be closer to 1.50.

Well, she refers to her faith A LOT.

Well, that's the story of her career. It's really unfortunate, but that's how she is. Plus she has a strange religious complex.

One point that goes in Gracheva's favour is the air quality, which should be suspect in Indian Wells currently. Kvitova tends to have breathing problems, so yeah, that'd put me off backing her. As I said, good luck, hopefully she gets the job done for you!

Good luck, though I think Kvitova will win at least a set there, she looked legit and is bound to improve. Gracheva can also be a bit of a headcase.

😆Indian Wells Qs starting today!

Even more strange given the stage of the tournament, you really should be used to the conditions and everything by now.

I'm quite surprised that Medvedev didn't fool around at all!

@four-leafMaybe don't post so many in-play chats here. Either in the live thread or here by editing a single post per match. Cheers (either one per match edited, or two, but not more for in-play comments over a single match).

Yeah, I might actually tune in for the Medvedev match, should be some hilarious serve/return dynamics! He should drop a serve somewhere just due to his shakiness, so Mpetschi looks like some value.

Well, she failed to practice her serves, 12 DFs (against 8 from Burrage).

Worth noting that Kvitova is back this week!
