    Switching sides and going Krunic to beat Wang at 1.76 with Unibet tomorrow. Wang was actually quite lucky today, and I'm not convinced that she'll be fully fit for tomorrow's showdown.

    The worst Wimbledon ever in modern times. 
    A big shit for those who decided to ban Russian athletes, a major political manoeuvre from the corrupt British government. What an athlete of any sport has anything to do with wars you idiots? 
    Get Lost all of you politicians. You DESTROY everything. 
    Congratulations to the God Novak Djokovic.

    Shame we didn't get a fifth set, agree about the politics but at least we got a Russian ladies winner which was quite ironic!

    Tsitsipas to beat Kyrgios @ 2.14 offered by Meridianbet.
    I watched carefully both of them. Tsitsipas is now different player on grass. Perhaps the contribution of the new coach in his team? Probably. He moves better, and he is hitting the ball very accurately. In addition he managed to hold his upsides and downs better than even just a couple of months ago. He stopped doing silly mistakes. He continue of course to make mistakes, but much less than before. 
    Kyrgios is a fool. I wonder how he escaped with the victory over the inexperienced Briton Jubb. Actually Jubb lost it, and not the other way.
    I am highly confident on this one.
    10/10 for me. 
    I know that some others will pick Kyrgios, because they probably didn't notice what a fool is on his head and on his game the Aussie, especially lately. Kyrgios won few weeks ago against Tsitsipas on grass, but now the circumstances are totally different.
    But i like to take the risk. Besides, betting means risk. Everything has price, even the 1.01 may lose. Happened to witness this in horses final stages when the leading the race was the huge favorite from the beginning, and the last horse that stage which was pricing 1000/1 finally won the race. After the race- back in year 2011- i learned that the rider of the winner horse was a legend rider! 
    I am sure that the fans of British horse races have in mind this story. I was just spending my time on betfair following the lay method. With this lay method on horse races, you may win small amounts of money but with risk to pay a lot if one of your layers finally wins the race, but to me never happened during that era because i stopped in year 2012. This is the best method of betting, providing that you have money, you have time because you have to stay in races for many hours as you understand! And is absolutely no need to know anything about horses and riders. It is pure luck, but luck rarely disappoint you. You just have to select a horse and lay. Many times i selected top favorites, and none won! Now i stopped because i don;t have time and motivation to do such a job. I have my income, i am satisfied, no need to spend 4-5 hours every day to secure 50-100 euros profit. Good luck to Tsitsipas!

    Not a single cent on Alcaraz and Kyrgios any more till the end of this tournament. And i don't care if Alcaraz for example lifts the trophy at the end. For Kyrgios what i say is that he deserves a permanent ban from the ATP tour. As player, has nothing to offer, and Kyrgios will be  beaten soon.

    After yesterday's punishment let's see if today is any better. I've still got Baez, Dodin and Tomova to run and I'm going to add a favourite and a couple of dogs to that, plus adding to my position on Djokovic in the outright market as his price is still similar to before the first round - I was hoping he'd drift but I guess the market is used to his flat performances in the early rounds of Slams by now and how they have little effect on his progress. I'll also back another 'Brit' double at a boosted price and I've got another couple of multiples as well.
    The favourite I want to back is Auger-Aliassime against Cressy. Whilst I think Cressy is well suited to grass and his results back that up, Felix is at a higher level right now and should really have designs on a deep run here. He's on record as saying he loves the grass and whilst I'll be surprised if he manages to win in straight sets, I do think he wins this and most probably in four sets. Tie-breaks are likely to come into play in this one and that's why I think Cressy can take a set, but in the end it should be Auger-Aliassime that advances to the next round due to his extra quality.
    The two dogs I'm looking at are Lopez and Kozlov. I'm hoping for one last hurrah with Lopez as there's nothing in his form to suggest he can beat Botic, but at the same time Botic hasn't shown any consistency on grass these last few weeks whereas Lopez is much more stable on the surface as he's had plenty of success on it over the years. He'll probably need tie-breaks to pull this off, but as they can be a bit of lottery I'm happy to take a chance on him to turn back the clock and get a big win. With Kozlov I'm mainly wanting to go against Schwartzman, who's shown very little aptitude for grass in his career. Kozlov is no great shakes right now but he did win the juniors here years ago and that's no bad thing. If he plays well and if Schwartzman continues with what's been a very mediocre season so far then this match could see an upset.
    The boosted double features Broady and Evans and I think it's got a decent chance of landing. Broady is the one most likely to let the double down, but he gave Cilic a scare at Queen's and a repeat of that level should see him beating Klein. Evans takes on Kubler and that could be a tricky assignment and it's a match where I don't see him winning in straight sets as he sometimes makes things difficult for himself, but like Broady I do think he'll get over the line in the end.
    The first multiple I've taken comes in at even money and consists of Sock, Nakashima, Thompson and Novak. They're all playing players who prefer clay and that should be enough to see them all winning. The second multiple has the first multiple as its foundation, and then like yesterday it's all players at short prices who should win. After yesterday my hopes aren't high, but I'll stick with the idea of getting good odds by rolling up short prices and see if I can hit one eventually.

    I like Berettini and Kvitova. I haven't check the draw, but for WTA is no need really. 
    Kvitova to reach QF looks decent. She is at top form.
    Berettini improved his return game, and looks top strong to go deep in the tournament.
    Of course i can't pick him as winner because Djokovic and Nadal are there. Especially for Nadal i must remind that he has solid chances to go for all major in the season 2022, which is something incredibly difficult, and i can't remember who achieved that. If i go to google to search, i guess that this is going back decades. 
    I expect many many upsets in all rounds. A lot of super talented young players are now active. 
    I have small doubts about Alcaraz. He must prove who is. Don't tell me mad if i said that he is already heavily overtraining at the age of 19. But i am not sure. There are no guarantees in this life, no certainties neither, so lets see what Alcaraz will show to us

    Tsitsipas is the most overrated player. To lose from Ivashka is something not shocking. I mean i don't trust Tsitsipas any more against any player. And especially on grass, he looks weak player. Dozens would beat him on grass. Zero progress in the last three years on his game. Actually is moving backwards than forwards. And i hate his father. If he doesn't fire his idiot father for ever, don't expect anything from Tsitsipas.

    I presume Badosa and perhaps Sakkari too decided to give themselves a few days off before Wimbledon to rest up and recharge. Although that said, with Badosa you're never quite sure, as she has had some shocking losses at times this year for a player who's considered to be top 5 in the world.

    A few words about Garbine for anyone of a mind to back her anytime soon - tread carefully. Conditions are a little tricky in Eastbourne right now due to wind, but even so the unforced error count from her is too high and shows why she's been losing so often recently. If you can't keep the ball in the court then literally anyone can beat you, and a quick look at Garbine's record this season shows that's exactly what's been happening.

    Katerina Siniakova (+1.5 sets) to beat Simona Halep at 2.41 with Pinnacle
    Something just isn't clicking with Halep, she's good in patches and bad in patches, and she had a very disappointing Sunday when she lost against Haddad Maia. If she's still in a bit of a slump, Siniakova can certainly steal a set, as she did against Andreescu last time out. Given the odds, I much prefer the set handicap over the games handicap, as Siniakova can produce a meltdown in the decider.

    2 youngsters vying for the RG WTA title.  Swiatek and Gauff added age is still less than Serena Williams!  Can Coco win a RG title in this edition?  Yes but she has more chance to win the double partnering Pegula vs the French pair of Garcia/Mladenovic.  Unless Swiatek cannot hold her nerves and choke during the final match which is unlikely to happen at this stage, she should be able to go on and win the title in 2 sets.

    Ruud makes the final and the Zverev bet was voided after he retired, which is fortunate because based on what I saw he wasn't going to be able to win that match. Popular opinion suggested the contrary as he was very much in it when he got injured and Nadal didn't appear to be at his best and looked as though he would tire the longer the match went on, but every time he got ahead he wasn't able to hold the advantage and his second serve became a complete liability. He had all the tools to get the win except the most important one which was in his head. Even if he'd gotten himself into a position to win, it's hard to imagine he'd have been able to keep himself together and finish the job.
    Moving on to the Women's final tomorrow, I'll be hoping for a Swiatek win as I've got a pretty big red on Gauff. She's a big favourite and so should win, but you never know and certainly there's recent precedent for a Gauff win in the shape of Andreescu at the US. For the Men, I'm red on Nadal and green on Ruud. Most likely Ruud will succumb like all those before him, but he served really well against Cilic and kept unforced errors to a minimum and a repeat of that plus any physical issues for Nadal and he may just stand a chance.

    From the bottom half nobody is even near to challenge either Alcaraz and of course Djokovic
    Rune is good, but i am not crazy of what i have seen from him today. He has potential yes, we are talking for now.
    So now Rune no chance to beat either of the two. Tsitsipas was playing as having only forehand. Not a big issue for me to beat Tsitsipas these days...

    I'm backing a few more outrights, all on the exchanges. On the Men's side I think Djokovic's price is skinny  so I'm putting some more on Alcaraz, Tsitsipas and Rublev. For the Women, it's hard now to look past Swiatek so I'm putting some more on her. If she doesn't win though I've already backed a few others and I'm adding Gauff to those I've backed and also topping up on Fernandez.
