Polona Hercog to beat Maria Lourdes Carle at 1.91 with William Hill

Hercog looked better than Carle last week in Colina, and their last meeting was so close that I think she should have a slight edge here. Hercog played less this season, but she's coming back now, and could also have more energy than Carle if it comes to that.

I'd say I can agree on the fact that it was a close match last time they met and another such would make it likely for Polona to have the upper hand and do what's required to win those deciding points. At the same time it's hard to beat the same opponent twice in a short space of time.

Nadia Podoroska to beat Polona Hercog at 1.57 with William Hill

I was happy to see Hercog win yesterday, but I didn't particularly like her performance, while Podoroska looked more solid than usual against Bouzas Maneiro. She's the better player of the two by now as well, and, if they repeat their yesterday's efforts, she should take this one.

Here we are for the final stage of 2023 Davis Cup, in Malaga, Spain. Who'd have thought that there'd be neither France nor USA at the quarter-finals, right? 

Australia is already in the semifinals after a thrilling comeback against Czech Republic (2-1).

Serbia vs Great Britain - Tie Winner: Serbia at 1.5 with bet365

Short odds, but the current Novak is simply unplayable. Djokovic and Serbia last won the event in 2010 so I expect him to show up extremely motivated to reach the finals again. 

"It's the last week of the season, so one final push is necessary from each one of us," world number one Djokovic told reporters.

"I couldn't be happier with the way I performed in the semi-finals and finals of Turin, so hopefully I'm carrying this kind of energy and performance level to the Davis Cup."

He continued: "As I said many months ago, actually (at) the beginning of the season, the Davis Cup has been and is one of my greatest goals of this season and always is. Hopefully I will be able to contribute to win."

Another Sinner Djokovic coming up tomorrow most likely 😆.

Denis Yevseyev (+6) to beat Roberto Bautista-Agut at 1.75 with Pinnacle (should be others soon as well)

I don't expect RBA to lose here by any stretch of the imagination, but +6 is a big handicap in a Bo3 match, and Yevseyev has proven himself to be capable on the surface. RBA hasn't really crushed anyone here just yet either, and he isn't the force he once was anymore.

Nice blast from the past tomorrow, RBA against Fognini in Valencia finals! They haven't played each other since 2019, H2H is 8-3 in Fognini's favour.

I root for Fogna by tiny margins as he always seems to rise to the occasion
