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!

You're not wrong on that, he tends to be a mess tactically for sure!

🤔

So much drama here, guys! 🥴

@Grass Cash I only like Czech women's tennis players🫢

Well done Schevchenko and thanks everyone for contributing!

Shevchenko +5.5 to beat Zverev at 1.90 (general line) I don't dabble in the ATP too much these days, but I watched a bit of Zverev tonight, and he didn't look comfortable. His form comes and goes, and it seemed to me that the AO defeat is still haunting him. Shevchenko can take advantage.

Just so others know, we are having the debate actively now. If you have any opinions, you can direct message them to me, I can promise you that I'll read and take them into account.

Correct, please refrain from posting any amounts, @neilovan. There clearly was no ill intent, so I'm letting the post in, and I understand, but I don't want it to be a regular occurrence until we change the rules, which might happen.

Considering they both folded so easily, they certainly didn't try their best, for whatever reason. But you see that on the men's tour as well.

Katerina Siniakova to beat Marta Kostyuk at 2.37 with Bet365 I think there's some value in Siniakova here. She's had a fair bit of rest, she's recovered from her thigh injury, and she can hit Kostyuk off the court with her shots. She's looked really good so far in this season when not injured/tired, and she strolled through the qualification as well, which should help her at least a bit.
