They're both good on clay and can play well on the surface and there's nothing suggesting this will finish in under 23 games so I think at least this will be 25 games and it almost requires a 3 set match to be played. All 3 previous matches today have ended after 2 sets so I think this one will likely end after 3 sets. Hopefully not a bad guess 2 out of 2!!!!

four-leaf Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ajla Tomljanovic/Madison Keys over 20.5 games at 1.90 with Pinnaclesports Have already taken this bet on a higher total, over 21.5 games acctually, but I think this looks fairly reasonable also at a little lower odds but still good enough for a bet. They've met 3 times and two times it's ended with 3 sets. My feeling says Ajla wont give up so easily this time as she lost in straight sets in Wimbledon this summer to Keys and it ended under 20 games and why this total is only at 20.5 games is probably because of that match or it would have been a higher total. So far in San Jose Ajla has crushed qualifier Georgina Garcia Perez in first round and it came as no surprise but she played outstanding on serve as she didn't allow even one breakpoint. She looked like a woman on a mission to go far in this tournament. She's awarded with this rematch and Ajla has beaten Madison once before in 3 sets and this is another possible 3 set match between them without a doubt. Why their encounter in Wimbledon ended in 2 sets could be explained by the surface that suits Madison so well as she's won for example Birminghams grass tournament before, the tournament Petra Kvitova has won several times and other big names. Last season Madison came to Stanford the former venue of this tournament and got Caro Dolehide in first round and she started really slow and lost the first set. Now she hasn't played since Wimbledon and comes equally prepared as last season. Ajla is mutch better than Caro Dolehide and should be able to hold serve enough times for maybe a tie-break and perhaps even take a set as previous 2 of 3 times in this matchup.

four-leaf Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Unfortunately Madison Keys have withdrawn from the tournament because of injury problems, so that's it with that total games bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Denis Istomin (+2.0) to beat Nicolas Jarry at 1.98 with Pinnaclesports I belive in Denis again. He was awesome yesterday when he easily dismantled the german Max Marterer but I play it safe this time and go for the +2 handicap since Nicolas is a really tricky customer and this surface is like bread and butter for him. He's hard to beat no doubt but Denis on a small handicap feels quite ok. Edited August 3, 2018 by four-leaf Rypcio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechPunter Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Johanna Konta to beat Elise Mertens at 1.50 with Bet365 Only one straightforward pick for me today, but I have to fancy Konta in her current form. I suppose that Mertens shouldn't, in theory, be a great match-up for her if the Belgian could channel her inner Clijsters, but their match from Miami and Konta's recent crushes of Serena and Kenin suggest that she's a strong favourite in this one. I'm not sure about the handicaps, but I'm willing to play the moneyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Denis Kudla/Andrey Rublev under 22.0 games at 2.11 Going against Denis here only because of his late finishing at night. I don't think his serving will be on it's highest level and Rublev has a good return game so under 22 for me. Alex De Minaur to beat Andy Murray at 2.09 Alex to win this only because Andy has no fitness enough for this match and he finished 3 am last match. He may have beaten Marius Copil but it should take it's toll. Double with both bets at 4.26 with Pinnaclesports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Andrey Rublev (-4.5) to beat Denis Kudla at 3.25 with Pinnaclesports I think Andrey will get his chances for breaks as I can't imagine Denis concentration level to be at it's highest level when he will serve. But it remains to be seen if Denis has enough mental strenght to go for big shots and big serves again. Big risk taken here but it could be worth it. Alex de Minaur (-1.5 sets) to beat Andy Murray at 3.61 with Pinnaclesports Andy will have his hands full in this one probably. Hopefully he takes to the court and doesn't retire because I see that as something not to unlikely. I just think Alex will run Andy down or serve him out of the tournament in straight sets. Andy has already played three 3 set matches and it's a lot to cope with when you're started to comeback from injury. He was already tired after his first match in Eastbourne and now he's played so long matches this tournament that I really question his ability to focus on the important points.

four-leaf Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Cameron Norrie to beat Fabio Fognini at 2.07 with Pinnaclesports Cameron has played well for awhile now and should have no problems holding serve in this match. He hasn't surrendered a set in Los Cabos so far and is serving impressively. Fabio who blows hot and cold must keep focus here to be able to hang around and I do think he will do that but it's still gonna take something special from Fabio to win this when Cameron executes his game as well as he has been doing.

liquidglass Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Linette vs Vekic Just a quick one i thought i'd quickly share before play resumes after the rain. Linette is currently 0-3 down to Vekic. Linette previously travelled some good miles from Nanchang half tired to play here in Washington. She also has qualifiers to play in Canada later on in the day which should be the priority concern than trying to play her way back into this match. Verdict: Vekic -6.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-leaf Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Even though the match isn't finished it still looks like Fabio Fognini is a little bit to good for Cam Norrie so next bet... Henri Laaksonen (-3.5) to beat James Ward at 2.30 with Pinnacle Henri beat Yibing Wu last time out and he did so convincingly without losing a service game. James Ward saved 6/7 breakpoints against world no.340 Roman Safiullin and that's not good enough to beat a guy like Henri and it's gonna take a lot for James not to drop serve more then once. So this looks like a match Henri should win without having mutch problems. James is not good right now and he should struggle big time here. Everytime James loses a match this season no matter where the opponent is ranked he loses often by atleast one double break and the same should happen here. He's losses this season have all come by at least 4 games to Jordan Thompson, Benjamin Bonzi, Ilya Ivashka, Sergiy Stakhovsky, Hiroki Moriya, Evan Furness, Harri Heliovaara, Filip Peliwo, Manuel Sanchez and more.

four-leaf Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Martin Klizan/Denis Istomin over 23.0 games at 2.09 with Pinnacle I think Martin will win in the end but it will be close since Denis acctually is playing very good on the surface. So Denis has played good tennis, Martin has played good tennis, conclusion: probably a 3 set match. Rypcio and CzechPunter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CzechPunter Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Personally, I'm calling quits on the week. It was good and with a decent profit despite Konta losing, so there you go. Good luck to everyone who's still getting involved ! MABS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
