    I like to just watch the first round of tournaments before I shell out any cash. At least in the 2nd round you are looking at players who not only played recently, but you are also seeing players who won there last match and you can analyise how. I am in agreement with Neilovan regarding Jiri Lehecka and I think the price is fair however, I have asked for a bigger price on the exchange and expect to get matched. 
    I was impressed with Belinda Bencic straights sets performance today she looks one to follow ... weather permitting. Not looking great weather wise for today, Thinking of just going to bed and watch the action in the morning.

    The problem with Fritz is that it's really hard to keep serving well for the entire GS match, as someone like Djokovic will start figuring things out at least a little bit over time, and how many times can you realistically break someone like Djokovic if you're Fritz? Once or twice, possibly, but that most likely won't be enough. In the BO3 format, that's much easier to do, as Isner showed a couple of times against some of the biggest names, but yeah, it's incredibly difficult. I would add Medvedev to your list @neilovan, really, he has the game, and I think he would have a slightly better shot than Fritz. Nadal looks really poor physically, which is seriously unlike him, can't see him doing much away from clay anymore, and it will probably be difficult even there if Djokovic is present.

    As for the men's championships. I think picking the winner is quite easy. Whoever wins has to beat Djokovic. So go through the possibilities and se who could possibly do it.
    1st section (Nadal, Medvedev and Tiafoe) is probably Medvedev and Tiafoe in quarters.
    2nd section is probably between Sinner and Auger Aliasimme (Sinner for me).
    3rd Section Djokovic probably plays Holger Rune, who gets past Rublev..  
    4th section is Fritz and Ruud in the quarters for me. 
     
    Nadal (No) . He looks tired and worn out. I don't think he gets to the quarter finals.
    Auger-Aliasimme (No) Guy is very strong but his court craft and decision making is horrible.
    Hurkacz (No) just a dull strange version of Thomas Berdych for me. Can't do it.
    Ruud (No) decent but no spark to be able to trouble Djoko.
    Zverev (No). Mentally not ready after his injury. 3 wins will be significant for him.
     
    For me the winner (excluding Djokovic) has to come from Sinner, Tiafoe or Fritz. None of the others can beat him.

    don't think anybody was expecting a 6-0 thrashing but great to see Williams make the final. One more to win Mark.

    Huge match this afternoon them. Mark Williams takes on Jack Lisowski for a place in the Masters semi finals. The bet ill be going with is both players to hit a century. Williams has hit 2 in each match he has played whilst Jack has hit 1 in his first match and a 96 against Vafaei. 
    I was also quite tempted by Williams to hit 2 plus centuries. As I say, he has done that in both matches and you'd expect atleast 10 frames here.
    2pts Both players to hit a Century 11/8 skybet

    But there's one thing about Iga, she will most likely leave everything on the court. She won't go out without a fight like she did in Wimbledon when faceing Cornet. Aryna Sabalenka is also dangerous on the other half and I wouldn't count out Rybakina.

    Well, she has a potentially tricky draw in the first round, she dropped a set against Niemeier the last time out, and that was when her own form wasn't in any doubt. She should get better as she progresses as always, though, so the start is important. She definitely has what it takes to win the entire thing, but I wouldn't necessarily trust her. I have an inkling that one of the big hitters might win this time around.

    There's been alot of centuries in the first round but I think in general, the quality has been abysmal. Some shocking performances. Hopefully now we're in the 2nd round there will be abit more composure and better play. All starts with a huge match as Williams takes on Ronnie. Winner of this has Lioswski or Vafaei so every chance the winner makes the final really. It's a great opportunity. I think the best way to go in this match is the centuries. Williams has a good chance today if he performs like he did for the first couple of frames against Gilbert but both players won easily and hit 2 centuries each and so 3+ centuries in this match has every chance at 5/2. 
    4pts 3+ centuries (Williams Vs O'Sullivan) 5/2 paddypower

    Andreev must be worth a few bucks against Z. Bergs. His 1st serve worked like a charm and he looked quite confident on return. I haven't watched Bergs but at odds against, i will take my chances and bet on my compatriot.

    Another poor performance. Allen should have won 2 of the first 4 and although Hawkins played well to starve him of chances, even when Allen got in, he never looked like making a decent break. So odd and a performance completely out of the blue. Perhaps I put a hex on him. I'll now point my hex at Mark Williams tonight so expect a 6-0 Gilbert rout tonight.

    Barbora Krejcikova to beat Darya Kasatkina at 1.70 with Unibet
    Krejcikova looked more than decent to me against Riske, and I'm not quite sure how much to trust Kasatkina at present. With the situation around her and not-so-great form book, she really needs to get some easy wins against lesser or at least average opposition, but she's not getting any luck draw-wise in that regard.

    I like the chances of 3 or more centuries in the first match of The Masters. You would think that there is going to be a good 10 frames in this match. Murphy won the last match between the two 5-4 and 3 of the last 4 have gone to a deciding frame. Recently in the English Open, Neil hit 1 century against Selby in the Semi Final. 3 against Mark Williams. 2 against Pagett and 1 against Peifan Lei. He does tend to go after the centuries. Murphy is always capable of centuries and if we get a 6-4 or 6-5 then there is every chance of getting 3.
    2pts 3 or more centuries - Robertson Vs Murphy 6/4 paddypower
