Rafa Academy employee spying on Novak during today's match

I would like to say something about the Nadal - PCB match. It is true that the handicap line is set very high and it seems that PCB should cover it, but keep in mind that the PCB went deep at the US Open, that he literally played a match against Zverev five days ago. I guess he flew to Rome the next day which means he lost a whole day on the road. He only had three days to prepare for this match. And there are also factors of fatigue, jet lag and in the first place - the factor of changing the surface. Changing the surface from hard to clay is one of the most difficult and demanding changes in tennis. On the other hand, it is true that Nadal did not play a competitive match for a long time, but he trained on clay all the time and had excellent preparations for this clay season. I'm not saying this to "distract" anyone from their picks,but because it should be kept in mind.

Why are odds so high on Brady tonight? Is it because of Osaka's reputation? Brady didn't do nothing wrong in tournament so far..Can she snitch a set at least?

Whoever come as a winner from Cornet - Pironkova tie,stand zero chance against Serena.

Is Pironkova injured? She called mto,did she?

I think you're wrong,but if this is your opinion,what can i do with it? Only to disagree..

Are you serious writing this stuff? What character? It was a f***** accident..

Looks like their in hurry for their sits

Two more picks for me today and no more,i promise Dimitrov G. - Paul T. over 3.5 sets @1.60 (local bookie Soccerbet) I don't fancy Grisha too much these days to be honest. His game have too many ups and downs and except of last year his US Open record is very modest. Paul is no world beater but with his big serve and ground strokes he can be dangerous. They met in A.Open earlier this year and it was a long,five setter match. Jabeur O. - Kawa K. under 18.5 games @1.65 (local bookie Meridianbet) I expect a pretty routine job for the Tunisian player. Jabeur was solid lately,i think she have a good mentality and game stability. About Kawa i don't know much but this pick is all about Jabeur and i hope she will deliver. GL

One early pick RBA - Sandgren T. over 33.5 games @1.65 (local bookie "Soccerbet") I think that Tennys is underrated here a bit and could take something out of it. The line is not that high and it could be cover in three long sets. GL

I completely agree with Torque over Zverev - Anderson and Goffin - Opelka matches. So,my choice is going to be: Anderson K. - Zverev A. over 3.5 sets @1.70 (local bookie) Opelka R. - Goffin D. over 3.5 sets @1.60 (local bookie) Also,i'm going with one match which is my original pick: Krajinovic F. - Ymer M. under 35.5 games @1.90 (local bookie) You never know with Filip Krajinovic,but i hope he can deliver an easy victory here. He was very good last week in Cincinnati. Yes,he struggled with Caruso in first march,but then he was briliant against both Thiem and Fucsovics. He even served for the match against Raonic. Ymer debuts in the main draw of US Open. Swede player lost to Harris last week,and also lost to Krajinovic in Montpellier early this year by 61 61. Like i said..it's not easy to trust Krajinovic,but with this line and odds i'm willing to take risk GL

Novak was given a soft draw. Isner could be a possible problem in R4 and then Tsitsipas in semifinal. Other part of draw is way trickier.
