Well, I'm terribly sorry if you're insulted, we're all mostly friendly chaps in here, but we also like to have a chat about stuff, not only percentages, at least when we don't know where they are coming from. 

Arsenal Please

So this is where everyone is hiding!! Thought I was in the wrong thread.
Going to kick off with Felix AA @ 1.67 with Betfair to beat Lajovic
Mainly using the ATP Cup to forge my form/motivation guide for the Aussie Open but Felix is normally someone who gives 100%

Yecong He (+3.5) to beat Fabien Reboul at 2.00 with Pinnacle
I went through the ATP matches twice and couldn't really find anything interesting, so here I am with one Challenger pick instead. I don't claim to have any special knowledge about the players involved, but I tracked He's matches against Koepfer and Wu and he was quite competitive in those against opponents that are way better than Reboul, so I think that he could finally find something to celebrate in this one. He's got a decent serve, he's going to have the conditions on his side here, and Reboul is one of the more inconsistent players out there, he's actually reminded me of Paire on the (admittedly very few) occasions I've seen him play. The Frenchman is certainly the favorite, but I like the handicap against him.

Shuai Peng (-3.5) to beat Paula Badosa Gibert at 1.80 with Bet365
Peng has finally started to rediscover her standard level of play and I expect her to be very dangerous during the Asian swing, at least as far as this type of matches is concerned. Gibert has some big shots, but her defense is awful and Peng can defend quite well herself, so, with the extra home conditions motivation thrown in, I wouldn't be shocked to see this become a very one-sided affair.

Rather than continue posting about it I would suggest you put up your pick then for Medvedev to win the US Open. Go with your confidence.

I don't think Wang played that well, she basically just sat back and let Barty implode. Serena won't do that. Although i agree with Czech Serena won't win this title, I can't see her falling against Wang.

Personally think Federer will take it relatively easily, Evans is playing really well but he's not got explosive power. He'll rally with Federer and once Fed gets the measure of you I think its over. If your unpredictable or just nailing the shots you might have a chance but beating Fed at his own game is much tougher..

Giorgi to beat Linette at 1.7 with Betfair
Always been a fan of Giorgi's fearless big hitting. If it clicks on the hard courts she runs the opponent all over the place. What impressed me the most in her Semi Finals win was her stamina in the long rallies against a great defensive display from Wang and her mentality to keep fighting back. Not the greatest value in the odds but I'm going for the win rather than value on this one.

Room for a little one? Can't believe I haven't been doing this before.

Denis Shapovalov to beat Dominic Thiem at 2.3 with Betfair
Shapo is a big hitter although inconsistent, this bet is mainly against Thiem. Having just won a clay court tournament I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall at the first hurdle in this hard court match.

Millman to beat Cilic at 3.1 with Betfair
Will be interesting to see where Cilic is at the minute, Millman can give anyone a tough game with his persistence and calculated hitting. Think he has a chance here, especially at these odds.

Jan-Lennard Struff to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at 2.57 with MarathonBet
I'm not fully behind Tsonga again yet, think he's still got a way to go before he's back to his best. He's winning the H2H but I don't think they've faced much before on hard. Short points are likely so its whether Struff is hitting it clean and whose serving better. Maybe should look at taking the short priced handicap instead.
 
 

Going to try this one, always enjoy watching Giorgi
WTA Toronto Camilla Giorgi to beat Victoria Azarenka at 2.55 with Betfair
Few things I like about this;
Giorgi is coming off a finals visit so in good form. Azarenka is coming back into form but her serve is still not there yet. Giorgi is flat hard returner so if the serving is weak she will break, and break often, its whether she can hold her own serve. Giorgi also leads the H2H 2-0.
I think as underdog it's definitely worth a shot.

Stan Warinka to beat Dimitrov at 1.58 with Bethard
Will be pulling the trigger on this one, odds seem higher than anywhere else and Dimitrov is just a lay at the minute regardless. Stan can also blow hot and cold and it could come down to just whether he fancies it and whether Dimi can get his serve working
