Opelka to beat Michelsen @2.30
Opelka has made a strong return with a bang! With his experience over the youngster, I think this is a value bet.
Only saw part of this match but Reilly started well and then totally lost his way, and got his ass handed to him in that second set especially, going by this he's still got a lot of work to do to get back to the player he was.

Intriguingly poised in terms of the approach in question @neilovan
It's incredible how many breakpoints Nakashima has saved, including two match points! Humbert might be thinking "how on earth am I not done with this match already and preparing for the next one?". Psychologically it might play on his mind, then again the best professionals can deal with this and close off the match on their return. But I think if Humbert loses that tiebreak then the psychological edge is all with Nakashima.

Fascinated to see how Alex Michelsen gets on tomorrow against Berrettini having won both his qualifying matches at the weekend in straight sets
Played the 250-1 outright...just in case with Bet 365
Well I threw some small change on him for my sins but I'm not that confident! 😁

Ah shame, one breakpoint so far for Paolini and she took it alas, at 6/1 though it was worth a go.
-
Swiatek to win the match without losing a service game, 6/1 with Skybet. If Paolini is overawed by the occasion, and doesn't perform(which could happen), then this has a chance of coming in.
-
Complete implosion from Andreeva..
I wonder has the big occasion gotten to her? She's playing even worse than Rybakina did yesterday. Paolini playing solid but nothing remarkable but Andreeva just hasn't showed up at all, particularly in this second set, could be a breadstick at this rate. 😕

Absolutely. Paolini didn't win the match, Rybakina won it for her. Looking like Sabalenka is going out too.
Sabalenka looks to have righted the ship now, a break up in the third, so long as she doesn't go on a double faulting spree, she should be home and hosed in another fifteen or twenty minutes time.

Rybakina on about 20 unforced errors and it's not even the end of set 1 lol
I don't know what the heck happened to her, 🙈 completely unfocussed out there, dreadful performance, Paolini did well but Rybakina pretty much handed the match to her with that shocking effort.

Paolini is due to play in the doubles today with Errani, as well her singles match vs Rybakina. It's still not clear from the schedule as to which match she will play first, but if it's the doubles, then I think her winning the singles match afterwards is even less likely. Even if the singles match is on first, I still can't see Paolini winning, unless she plays out of her skin, something I don't see happening. Doubling Rybakina with Sabalenka gives you .55 or .6 to 1 generally. Not exactly great odds but I really cannot see either underdog winning here.
-
Unbelievable... From a double break up in the final set, Griekspoor is now in the process of handing the match to Zverev on a silver platter. Give me strength.. 🙈🤦♂️
-
Ha, they finally spotted it! He's into 100/1 now all of a sudden! 🤣
-
Griekspoor making a game of this, great to see. And I know he's highly unlikely to win the tournament but even so, Boylesports still have him at a gargantuan 1000/1 to win the title. At those odds, its surely worth a quid e/w.
-
Danilovic still available at 500/1 with Paddy Power and Vekic at 275s. Either could feasibly make the quarters, alas Swiatek lies in wait there most likely..
-
Crikey, Danilovic seems to have clicked into gear and Cocciaretto is still ahead, let's hope both can close the deal! 😎👌
-
Damn I think we've jinxed her! 🤣 Just blew a matchpoint and made several unforced errors in that last game, some really bad ones. Nerves playing havoc with her it looks like, Swiatek has a great chance now.. 🙁

Tomorrow looks like great day of tennis. Hopefully the weather plays along.
I really do like Monfils to beat Musetti. Monfils was pretty good in the 1st round. He's no spring chicken but he is an incredible athlete. For me Musetti has just stagnated, Burst on the scene taking 2 sets of Djoko years ago, and his game has not moved forward since. An added factor here will be a partisan French crowd that will definitely help. Should be the best match of the tornament so far.
I was very impressed with Etcheverry last round. Really tough match against Cazaux. Crowd against him, and losing the 1st set, was not easy. Yet he hung in there and won the next 3 quite easily. This is a strong guy, mentally and physically. I think he wins against Rinderknech. The consistency and patience from growing up on clay at sea level makes tough competitors.
Woman's draw packed with great matchups tomorrow as well
I think that the way Vavare Gracheva is playing she looks a really good bet against Bernarda Pera. Just beaten Krejcikova and Sakkari, and I think she continues her run here. She looks like she is playing with freedom and really enjoying herself. I was so surprised with her shot making (in both previous matches). Hardly missed a ball. One of the two biggest surprises for me. The other Cociaretto blitzing Haddad Maia.
The Kalinskaya v Andreescu match is anybody's guess. Both undercooked and not match ready. Kalinskaya should really have lost 1st round to Burel (7-6 7-5), who had so many opportunities to win. Neither of these two serving particularly well. I think that Andresscu has more than an even chance here and is worth a bet.
Kostyk v Vekic. I think Vekic is gonna win this one. Kostyk with some weird recent loses (Sherif). She is vulnerable. Vekic is a decent price here, and her recent loses have been to very good players.
as a note... I'm watching the Swiatek v Osaka match. Best I have seen Osaka play ... ever!
WIping the floor with her, which is not something that happens often ...
Also watching Osaka and she is playing insanely well! Really hope she goes on to win it, it's one helluva performance from her, right up there with her best!

Can't argue with that thought process at all. Djokovic tanked without a shadow of a doubt - being broken from 40-0 at the end confirmed it for me - whether Ruud will or not I'm not so sure, but it's got to be possible. The only thing I would say is that Ruud has been in the routine the last couple of years of winning in the week before the French, and so he might want to try to continue with that despite the possible time constraints.
Looks like you're were on the money Fader. Cobolli gave it a really good go but Ruud outlasted him in the end and now Ruud looks to be in control in the final and on his way to another Geneva title. 👍
-
This comment is relevant to both the French Open and the still ongoing Geneva tournament. Ruud's semi vs Cobolli has been delayed til tomorrow morning and as of now he is scheduled to play his first round match in Paris on Sunday morning. Am just wondering is he really going to fancy it. 🤔
We saw Djokovic giving a very poor effort in the third set today after blitzing Machac in the second set. I'd say it's highly likely he strategically decided not to play his best in that final set so as to be somewhat fresh for Roland Garros. If Ruud wins tomorrow morning I think he would have to play the final later that day, if I'm not mistaken? Considering he's a contender for French Open, I would be somewhat surprised if he fancys playing two matches one after the other pretty much, just before Roland Garros. With that in mind, a small speculative bet on Cobolli might be worth a go, and perhaps a couple of quid on Machac for the title, as he'll be have had significantly more rest time than his opponent.

incredible stuff from Littler. I had the 9 darter at 25s but mainly, I have him to win the Worlds now at 18s
Nice, I had him to score a nine darter too but don't think I got those kind of odds. Am also on Littler for the Prem League and Worlds double! Go on my son! 😁

4-1 up Cross. Loses 6-4. Let me tell you if I went for MVG then Cross would have won. Trust me on this. Cross never misses when I'm against him
Unbelievable capitulation from Cross. MVG hung in there when he was behind but Cross completely lost focus with the finishing line in sight. From hero to zero in less than a week. Shocking stuff. 🙈

I'm not in favour of it. I think that regardless of hormone replacement etc, someone with a male physiology, no matter if they have already transitioned, will still retain those physical advantages over women, even if they are less pronounced in less physical sports like darts.
