[KJ]

Hurkacz ML +100

Down 0-2 2nd set

 

[KJ]

Good lord going to try to play Osaka on every return game and getting her at -400 on serve is a gift for a few minutes

 

[KJ]

Not that anyone is watching right now but Zverev just hit a 2nd serve that might have hit the court before it hit the net lol

At best it hit the very bottom of the net

Went to bed feeling pretty good about my over 21 in Bencic match….woof

2am in Melbourne, let's get it going!

 

[Brewers888]

Bencic is terrible and its the last time I waste futures money on her.

 

[Brewers888]

Its all going to be just fine when Keys wins the tournament at 80-1.

She looked like she was running in mud

Osaka was insane but of course had a little mental fidget in there, not enough to make a difference in the match but it showed

Now gotta see how Emma responds after drilling Sloane tonight. Naturally assume it's not as sharp but I'm curious

 

[KJ]

Also I actually watched Monfils after probably 10 5 minute naps. Man he looks like young Monfils but with a ton more control. I know he went through the depression of the Covid thing like some of us probably did (raises hand) but he looks like he's better than ever.

He blames it on the marriage lol, hard to blame him

 

[Brewers888]

I've actually been betting Bencic futures at every grand slam for a few years since meeting her a few years ago at the US Open. I was sitting at one of the outer courts and she randomly sat next to me and we spoke for awhile. Belinda is a solid player and a nice girl but I'm probably wasting money hoping she wins one of these grand slams.

Monfils can be solid but he has no chance against any of the big guys.

 

[Brewers888]

I think I'm going to really enjoy watching Kyrgios get destroyed by Medvedev.

 

[Brewers888]

I was looking at Anisimova futures and then saw that all she has to do is beat Osaka and Barty just to reach the quarterfinals.

 

[KJ]

Monfils can be solid but he has no chance against any of the big guys.

No that isn't where I was going but it was awesome to see him play his game again

 

[pressitup]

Inglis -101
Sabalenka -5
Kov/Rab O19
Rybakina -5.5

 

[KJ]

Ugh Caesars live tennis is down right now, hope they get it up here shortly

ATP

WTA

Bouzkova +120
Inglis +100 2*
Kontaveit -4.5 -130 3*
Konjuh +175

 

[KJ]

Looking like a terrible read on Kontaveit, working hard just to win a game and pretty easy at giving them away

I just live bet her +145 expecting Tauson to fall apart.

 

[KJ]

Live betting back up for me, probably jump on it as well

 

[Brewers888]

Kontaveit can't handle the power from Tauson.

 

[Brewers888]

Tauson is like Sabalenka in that its all power and no touch. Hopefully the errors pile up and Kontaveit pulls it out.

 

[pressitup]

Kontaveit can't handle the power from Tauson.

I wanted to take Tauson at +money, but this match was really a toss up.

 

[KJ]

Mugu and Kontaveit both out, shaping up to have some live dogs in WTA per usual

baptiste needs to lay off the carbs
just sying

Haha I said the same thing about Ostapenko last night, she got meaty in a hurry

 

[pressitup]

does Swiatek look like a completely different person each tournament?

 

[pressitup]

Anastasia needs to lay off the stroganoff

 

[Big daddy naught]

Anyone taking a flyer on king Kyrgios tonight

 

[HUNT]

Anyone taking a flyer on king Kyrgios tonight

Me. 300/1350

 

[Big daddy naught]

Me. 300/1350

If he’s on he def has a shot

 

[HUNT]

If he’s on he def has a shot

Absolutely. He will win an aussie open at some point in his career. It' all or nothing so gotta take ml

 

[HUNT]

If Alcaraz beats Berrettini I'm taking him to win it all.

 

[teejay]

Auger over 49.5 live

 

[Big daddy naught]

Absolutely. He will win an aussie open at some point in his career. It' all or nothing so gotta take ml

Agreed. If he loses the first set he could go off the rails

 

[Big daddy naught]

Murray cooked.

 

[Big daddy naught]

Great start for nick

 

[HUNT]

8th game 2nd set was insane

Entertaining thus far. Hope nick fights this 3rd and doesn’t tank

Most likely tanks. That's who he is. He's bitching he knows hes done.

 

[Big daddy naught]

Most likely tanks. That's who he is. He's bitching he knows hes done.

He’s gotta keep pace. If he gets down the early break it’ll unravel

 

[HUNT]

He’s gotta keep pace. If he gets down the early break it’ll unravel

It's what happens when you are used to not giving a shit...can't just turn it on and off against the best in the world. I would say it's part injuries, part mental, and part women.

 

[HUNT]

Break him

 

[Big daddy naught]

Well it gets interesting if he serves this out
