CzechPunter Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 He really is that kind of a player that can fail spectacularly here and there. raduvlad1995 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of years ahead to get more consistent, which will involve developing a more rounded game. Right now it's all about taking the skin off the ball and painting lines, but if he can introduce some variety and better point construction that should enable him to cut down on errors and play with an extra margin of safety.

But auger was stellar , hope he doesn t flop in the next match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delfino Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Today the big match between Alcaraz/Nadal The new legend Alcaraz ready to give the lesson to his grandpa Nadal! Alcaraz you for ever my hero! No mercy to anyone, no mercy to Nadal, ok? I can't wait to see you! Robinnho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinnho Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Yes, it's time for the youngster to avenge the 2 defeats and Alcaraz is ready to take over as the No. 1 Spanish player soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carina007 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Well, I can't predict anything here in Madrid. But what I have seen Alcaraz should win against Nadal. And Nadal resulst in Madrid are not the best from clay tournamenst... It's not advice, only opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo_Fighter Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I have placed the following bet: Djokovic v Hurkacz 2-0, Nadal v Alcaraz 0-2, Rublev v Tsitsipas total number of Sets: 3, FAA v Zverev 0-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Obviously it's early, but so far it's the same old Rublev against Tsitsipas. First serve at 36 percent, second serve getting hammered even by an opponent who's poor on return and instantly a break down which probably means he'll be a set down soon as he's not much cop on return either. It's a bit like in a football match where the underdog goes behind really quickly which makes an unlikely win even more unlikely. Going a break down so quickly because of poor serving has put him immediately on the back foot and facing an uphill battle to get anything from this match.

I wasn t sure from the start that stef will win this one since rublev legit has the weaponry to blast him off the court if his mindset is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raduvlad1995 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I ve heard the english commentators say that djokovic and alcaraza played a practice set this week and novak beat the kid 6-1, just felt like putting this out here for what's worth.. Even with that taken into account I can t see djokovic so easily dispatching alcaraz Edited May 7, 2022 by raduvlad1995 CzechPunter and rainz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amity Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 That said though Djokovic really should have won that match, he had several winning positions in Alcaraz' service games in that third set, but couldn't close the deal. He'll be kicking himself he let that one slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raduvlad1995 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 yeah dunno what training set the commentators were talking about, cause carlito might have played that set blindfolded to lose it 6-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible price IMO. Best of five is a totally different animal and takes time to get used to. Just ask Sascha.

carina007 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) I don't like odd on Alcaraz vs Zverev. And to be honest that was not the best performance from Nadal and Djokovic this week. I wrote after matches against Monfils and Kecmanovic that I don't like what I have seen. Come on, Djokovic lost in Belgrade from Rublev 6:0 in third... We need to give Zverev some credit: -last year winner -huge win vs Tsitsipas yesterday -H2H 2:0 vs Alcaraz For me only bet on Zverev has some value. Good luck! P.S. Alcaraz is monster and future NO 1 for sure. No doubt about that Edited May 8, 2022 by carina007 Foo_Fighter, CzechPunter and mark22 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcaraz is monster and future NO 1 for sure. No doubt about that problem is his 1st serve percentage was 56 % , otherwise I d also think he'd beat carlito .

four-leaf Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Hamad Medjedovic to beat (-1.5 sets) Alex Marti Pujolras with Betfair at 1.68 Hamad is the next Nole from Serbia trained at Tipsarevic Tennis Academy. He is steamrolling these small ITF Futures events and he's also 18 years old and climbing fast. Soon to be a challenger prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I can just stake 5€ on Hamad sethandicap but for those who can stake somewhat bigger I post him to beat Marti Pujolras easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
