Well..just one more step for Bianca and also for me  
Obviously it's a huge step cause Serena is playing pretty well and she crushed Svitolina in big fashion,so i feel (or better to say fear) that she can win the final as well. Unfortunately my local bookie don't offer me a cash-out option,so i guess i have somehow to "close" or "defend" this pick. 

The problem is the odds are very unbalanced and Serena is a clear,big favorite. So,my question to you guys is - how can i do this? Is there a possibility to do so,or i have to wait for some in-play betting maybe?
Help 

That really was atrocious from Berdych. He made Brooksby look like Djokovic. Incredible to think he's five years younger than Fed. He looks done to me - wouldn't be surprised if he calls it quits soon.

Berdych is embarrassing himself

Completely agreed, I also really like Bianca at this odds. Of course, it remains to be seen how she will progress during a 2-week tournament, how she will cope with the conditions, but currently I definitely rate her in the top 4 to raise the trophy.
Not really much else for me on the women's side regarding the outrights.
I think Lucas Pouille can have a decent chance to win the 2nd quarter and at odds 21.00 I have no choice but to back him  We saw him being able to raise his level of play on the big occasions, so why not?! I feel FedEx more than vulnerable and even the rest of the players are all but thrustworthy in a grand slam. Guido Pella in the same quarter is also very tempting at 67.00.
The 3rd quarter is also very interesting. Thiem no way, he barely played HC matches recently and was affected by a virus in Cincinnati, he even admitted that he does not expect miracles in this event, and that he does not even consider himself being able to reach the quarterfinals. I see no value in the bookies favorite Tsitsipas, but Bautista-Agut @7.00 could well do it. The Spaniard has the chance to finish in the ATP top 8, so he could qualify for London, this should be another good motivation for him to play a good tournament. I would also give a slight chance to Shapovalov and Rublev.
4th quarter winner: Nadal for me, without a doubt. Even at 1.66 I think it is clear value, there is literally nobody who can possibly bother him over there.
 

One early bet for me.

Bianca Vanessa Andreescu to win US Open - Yes - @19 local bookie

The young Canadian is a revelation of the season and a most pleasant surprise. She won Indian Wells this year. She got injured on Roland Garros but she's now back with a Toronto title.
The Grand Slam is a two-week long tournament and anything can happen of course and it's true that Bianca doesn't have much experience at that level, but that didn't stop Osaka from winning the title last year, for example.
No one is playing better on American HC this season than Andreescu and I think the bet is worth a small punt.

C.Moutet - D.Goffin under 31.5 games @1.75 Local bookie

Moutet is more clay court player and he suffered a convincing defeat to Goffin in RG last year. It was 75 60 61 for the Belgian. Moutet lost against Steve Johnson in Winston Salem last week 36 36,while Goffin played final in Cincinnati so he's in good run. I expect a easy win for David.

So who's doing the preview this time around? 

@DrO I see that you've managed to locate it on your own .

*Almost* nothing in betting is free money.

I think Albot will have a good chance today. Simon with bad results on north-american hard courts the last three years (2-10) and at Rogers Cup (8-9 total). he had not been in R16 since 2009 and he has not played here for the last three years. Albot makes his top50-breakthrough this year with SFs in montpellier and delray in the beginning of the yeat and last week here played SF too in los cabos. he's in good shape and he likes the conditions on faster hardcourts.

Hi and welcome to PL @Frenchloose! Please always post the bookie you're betting with.
Nikoloz Basilashvili to beat Alexander Zverev at 3.20 with Bet365
No explanation needed.

I'm not brave enough to back the straight sets win, but I am going to back Halep at 2.74 on the exchanges. That's too big in my book.

The third Grand Slam of the season is here and the one thing that I have to say straight away is that I would be shocked to see Nadal take it. He was pretty crap during the exhibitions, he's been handed a tough draw, and his health is always an issue during these short turnovers, so I think that he isn't going to lift the trophy. Not a big prediction, I know, but there you go. You know my form going into this tournament, but I was asked to write a preview and that's always a good motivation for some research, so yeah.
On the men's side of things, I find it really hard to see past either Djokovic or Federer, as it simply seems that the rest of the competition has fallen away in recent times and that there aren't any serious challengers. Someone with a big serve and good hitting can take them out, of course, that's just the nature of grass courts, but I don't know who's it gonna be and I don't really have all that much to add in terms of outrights. Betting-wise, I'm going to back Wawrinka to go further than Isner, as they have fairly similar draws in terms of difficulty and as Isner has been out of the game for so long that he's way more likely to suffer an upset somewhere along the way.
The women's side of things is completely open despite the obvious dominance of Ashleigh Barty. The pressure is going to be heavier than ever before, however, so I'm not too keen on backing her at what really are short odds for such a long tournament in which anything can happen. The only thing that I'm taking is Halep to go further than Konta, I just don't trust the latter at all at the moment. I will be watching things closely and I might play something mid-tournament, but I just don't see anything straight away. And yeah - don't back Kvitova, she might not even turn up for health reasons (there should be a press conference about that tomorrow as far as I know).
In terms of match betting, I am going for way too much and I'm actually surprised that things have turned out that way, as I didn't really see all that much when I first got around to check the early odds. Hoping for a good run, but my confidence is obviously quite low at the moment and I guess that I would just sigh if all the below lose.
First, I'm backing Rebecca Peterson to beat Yanina Wickmayer, as I think that she's a level above her quality-wise. The good qualifying run Wickmayer had doesn't change a thing considering the level of players she faced there and I think that she simply isn't good enough to compete on the main level anymore. Something similar can then be said about CSN, who'll be facing the resurgent Stosur that was surprisingly good in recent days. 
Eugenie Bouchard is spending way too much time modeling these days and her two recent matches were truly awful, so I'm taking the much-more-hard-working Zidansek there. Only a big trip down the memory lane can win this for Bouchard and that isn't all that likely to happen (although it can't be ruled out completely). Martic, Alexandrova, and Hercog are then my form picks over Brady, Siniakova, and Kuzmova.
In the men's section, I like both Garin and Schwartzman despite their obvious clay court preferences. They are both facing out-of-form opponents that have very little to offer by the looks of things nowadays. Fritz should also be able to deal with Berdych, who has been out of the game for quite some time and who didn't impress during the exhibitions, while Sonego should beat Granollers as well if he recovers from Antalya, which he honestly should with at least a day off. Finally, I'm also going for one long odds on Klizan against Chardy, as I don't think that he deserves to be a 4.00 shot in a match that could be easily decided by who's going to be missing less on the day.
Good luck everyone - and take care!

No,no,it wasn't.
I like to read it.

Just some info - they've already started to move the matches in Nottingham indoors, just for the men now, but I reckon the same could happen to the main WTA event if the weather stays like it should. Keep that in mind.

He never liked to play in those kind of conditions. At this moment, i can remember at least two such matches.
Both from US Open. One was against David Ferrer when he was two sets down,and the otherone was against Murray in the final (it could be that it was not in the same year). He lost that final btw. And i don't remember he was showing some shocking sportmanship then..

I fully understand why people don't like his attitude i i'm fine with that. Really,i am.
But one thing is not to like him or his behaviour and completely other is showing some kind of disrespect by placing,let's say,some kind of "fake news informations" like we had yesterday.

Don't get me wrong - Thiem was a better player and fully deserved to win. Kudos to that!

I'm just amazed at how Djokovic always has to land the villian part with some.

Talked to French Open tournament director Guy Forget, who confirmed play was called because of rain and high-wind forecast. Said Djokovic & Thiem informed together of decision by referee. "People thought Novak left, and that is why we canceled the matches, which is nonsense"

Courier on Djokovic: "There is no way he would disrespect the tournament and leave before he knew, he probably just knew before we did."


Barbara Schett:Unfortunately a wrong information was passed on to me during the show. Novak and Dominic left the courts after the referee told them play was postponed. I truly apologize for that and i will officially correct it tomorrow!

 
 

Apparently you're wrong just like most of the commentators.

I think that Nish will have some chance in the opening set. He'll stick to  TB,but he will lose it. Then it will be something like 62 60 for Nadal.

Yeah, I get it. I tried having blacklists once, but I found out that I would very quickly run out of players to bet on .

S.Tsitsipas (-5.5 games) to beat F.Krajinovic @1.65 with Soocerbet (local bookie)

Tsitsipas is in excellent shape. He won the first two matches relatively easily while Krajinovic had to play two marathon-matches. The second one (vs Baena) was especialy tough. Today Filip withdrew from doubles as a precautionary measure. He's not injured,but he is tired. Also,take note that Filip doesn't like to play against players of Tsitsipas profile.
