Sri Lanka vs India

Today is the 10th Asia Cup match of Super Four Zone. This is the second big match which will India play. And India already played a match with Pakistan with great performance. And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka. So I can't say anything at this time because both teams are good and have good performance in previous matches. So this is really hard to predict at this time. So let's wait for the match. Smiley
India is the hot favourite in this contest. Their performance against Pakistan was phenomenal, and now they have the much-needed confidence to take the game away from any bowling lineup. Overall, SL is a good team with some good emerging fast bowlers, but they are badly missing the services of Hasaranga. Their batting is also chipping, but looking at the current form, I think India will win this game comfortably.
The Indian team is now in the leading position of the Asia Cup from both the bowling and batting aspects. Yesterday India gave a remarkable match against Pakistan. Team India's performance confirms that they are favorites in the Asia Cup final. Sri Lanka won 2 out of 2 matches in Group B in this Asia Cup. Coming to the Super Four, Sri Lanka have played one match in which they have won one match. So if we considered on the basis of yesterday's performance of Pakistan, Sri Lanka is definitely superior as India's opponent.

Team India proved that they are ready to win the Asia Cup with their performance against Pakistan. Indian players have shown great batting and bowling in this match. They have performed well. Pakistan team accepted a shameful defeat by 228 runs.
Today India will play against Sri Lanka. India won the toss and decided to bat. I would say their decision is correct. Because the batsmen are in very good form now. If the top order is able to play well today then I guess India will collect like 350 in today's match as well. The match is going to start shortly.

Presently, there’s only one factor that makes Saudi clubs being, in a way superior and that’s in the case of funding. With their extremely deep pockets, they could try and entice any player they want into coming over to play. The issue of funding is a very important factor but that alone cannot even begin to make it superior.
Don't be jealous.

If the players want to move from UEFA leagues to Saudi Professional League, then they have solid reasons to do so. I agree that money is definitely one of the considerations. Obviously in the recent past, UEFA clubs used their deep pockets to steal American, African and Asian players. Now Saudi Arabia is giving them a taste of their own medicine. Overall, quality of football in UEFA confederation is on the decline (would make an exception for France and England). And once the star players depart from their leagues, the quality will go down even further. 

I agree with you. The quality of football in the UEFA confederation is declining. The Premier League and Serie A are very competitive. There are plenty of star players in the Premier League. However, there are few star players in Serie A. Also, Bundesliga and La Liga are not competitive. Every season in the Bundesliga we see the dominance of Bayern Munich. No other team even tries to win the title. On the other hand in La Liga we see the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona every season. So in such a situation, if the Saudi League is able to spend money to add star players to their clubs, and try to improve the Saudi League, I don't see anything wrong here. They have a lot of money, naturally they want to improve themselves.

Lens and Lyon are in a bad zone, they have not been able to taste victory in four matches, both of them started the season very badly. Moreover, Lens this team incredibly consistent last season. But in the transfer market this summer they lost important players, so their performance declined after the departure of several key players. Meanwhile, Lyon actually had a chance to get three points in the match against Nice, but unfortunately the striker Alexandre Lacazette can't play in that match, if he plays there is a possibility Lyon can score in that match and maybe can win. Both teams currently have poor defensive, they have conceded 10 goals so far.
Perhaps it's early that we're jumping into conclusions about these clubs found in the relegation, there's always room for improvement. Clermont, Lens and Olympique Lyonnias are probably in bad shape this season, not withstanding any prominent positions on the league table, rather both stuck at the relegation zone. It's time they should make good improvements in league games if they want to escaped relegation this season, because time is moving really fast, there's absolutely no time left because coaches in Ligue One are making plans to shoot higher in their game, ofcourse no one would want to be in the relegation zone this season.
Yes, it's still early in the season and there's still quite a long way to go this season for teams that are in a slump to be able to get up, but now Lens and Lyon are in the spotlight because Lens was a top team last season but surprisingly they started this season very badly. what the team management did was very unreasonable, the brand sold some of its important players and didn't care about the team's performance and they didn't even buy players of the same quality to fill the void.
And Lyon is also a big team in Ligue One, so it's not appropriate for them to be at the bottom, I'm sure they will rise.

The season has just begun. Each team has played just 4 matches. There is still plenty of time for the teams to fix their weaknesses and get back on the truck. But the performance of Lens and Lyon surprised everyone. Because these two teams played very well in the previous season. Lens were second in the table. Now they are at the bottom of the table. Still, I'm pretty optimistic about Lens and Lyon. Both these teams are strong and experienced. I hope in the next few weeks they will be able to solve all the problems within the team and build a stable squad. Even if they cannot fight for the title, these two teams will be in the top 10 of the points table.

Pathirana and Theekshana do it again along with Shanaka this time around. What would Sri Lanka do without these two splendid bowlers. They won 13 freaking matches on the trot now which is impressive.
The winning streak of Sri Lanka is going to end either against India or against Pakistan. Bangladesh has lost the game for the failure of the top order. Apart from Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim, no batsmen have played an innings which can contribute to the win. Bangladesh has no chance to qualify for the final now. This is quite funny that Bangladesh team management still giving chances to Naim Sheikh even though he is performing badly in every game.
Even though Bangladesh had a chance to win today's match, Bangladesh lost due to bad batting. Compared to the last few matches, Bangladesh's opening batting was better in today's match. In the last few matches I have seen that Bangladesh's opening batting got out in the power play, but in today's match they batted well until the power play. Mohammad Naim is not performing well, getting out for 21 runs in 46 balls and putt the team under pressure. If Shamim Hossain and Towhid Hridoy both played at the end, Bangladesh would have had a chance to win. Bangladesh lost today's match and got knocked out of the Asia Cup Super Four. Sri Lanka won today's match to make it 15 consecutive matches unbeaten in ODI format, congratulations to the Sri Lankan team.

I expected a better performance in this year's Asia Cup. Because we saw a good performance from the Bangladesh team before the start of the Asia Cup. But this team's performance in the Asia Cup was very poor. Only one of the four matches performed well. The target was not very big in today's match. The performance of Bangladesh's opening pair was also quite good. But the performance of the middle order players was not good. If Shakib and Liton had performed well, maybe the result of the match would have been in favor of Bangladesh. The performance of these two important batsmen of Bangladesh was poor. However, I don't expect much from this team in the World Cup as well. It seems that this team will be eliminated from the group stage.

I am confident that this bull season will be the best so far as it will be initiated by institutional investors.



I have the same belief as you, the upcoming bull season will be the best bull season we have ever had. Many people are humble just to expect bitcoin to hit $100k, and they'll sell it at that price, but for me, I want to sell it over $170k - $200k, that's my goal for bitcoin in the upcoming bull season. Of course, when bitcoin achieves such unimaginable growth, many altcoins will have crazy hype beyond our imagination. But choosing altcoins is not easy, everyone should be careful when investing in altcoins for the next bull season.

Unfortunately, Zverev could not deliver a fight against Alcaraz. His body simply had no more power. But he probably also suffered a thigh injury during the match. There are many indications of a tear. Hopefully he will be fit again soon. In any case, he can be happy that he will be back in the top 10 after the tournament.

Sometimes I think Dennis metals are being held pretty quickly. The players are actually not getting enough time to recover. A tennis player has an average traveling distance of almost 6/7 km in a single match. That is almost the same as the average traveling distance of a football player. Just because the tennis court is very small compared to a football field, we do not realise this. And in football, a player generally only plays one match a week. And even after that, if he is injured, he can be replaced with other players. Of course, football is a lot of physical compared to tennis. No one is trying to kill you to keep you from scoring. But the distance that are generally traveled by a tennis player is really high. Sometimes this is a big reason why tennis players are not able to perform as well as they should.

The series is important for Australia. Australia will play a series against India after this series before the World Cup. As Australia aim to become world champions, they need to continue their good performance in the ODI format from now on. Players have to come up with consistency of performance. Otherwise, it will not be easy to maintain consistency in every match of the World Cup. I think Australia will start the series with a win against South Africa today.
This series is very important to both teams(Not just Australia) to be frank. Australia is on a high these days in literally every single format which is why they are most probably the favorites to win the World Cup this year.

South Africa are the underdogs in this series and the World Cup basically.
you are right, This ODI series is very important for both the teams. But I don't mention South Africa because their performance is quite poor right now. I don't think this team has the potential to win the World Cup. Even the T 20 series has evidence of this. The South African team could not win even one of the three matches. Australia will try their best to win the ODI series. And this will be the warm up series for them. However, the series is going to take place shortly. Whether the match will be competitive cannot be said for sure. Because South African batsmen are not in good form.

Australia won the toss and decided to field. And I think it is the right decision for them. Because the Australian team fielded first in the last two T20 matches. And Australia got a very easy win in match two. In the second match, South Africa set a target of 165 runs. And the Australian team reached the target of victory in just 14.5 overs. South Africa set a huge target of 191 runs in the last match. And in this match, Australia reached the target of victory in just 17.5 overs. And so in today's match if South Africa can stop the team between 250-260 then Australia will win today's match very easily. Australia's batsmen are in good rhythm now.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency restrictions in some countries is a blessing in disguise. on: September 06, 2023, 03:08:49 AM
I don't understand why you would say that restrictions are a blessing in disguise when they clearly affect the level of adoption and the pace it has before the restrictions, and the points that you have mentioned are considered much better with no restrictions in a country apart from the first point where you said that some people might get curious as to why they are not allowed to use Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and do their research but that number is very small.

I also don't think that unemployment is something that can be fought with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin doesn't provide job opportunities and cryptocurrency trading is only possible if someone has money to use for that and someone who has been unemployed for some time will probably have nothing.

According to OP's explanation, the government should continue to ban and restrict bitcoin to benefit us more instead of having to legalize and accept it, LOL. This is crazy thinking I've heard because government bans and restrictions on bitcoin have kept many people away from bitcoin even though they've known about it for a long time.

If bitcoin trading and investing can solve unemployment, is investing in gold or trading stocks the same solution as bitcoin? Furthermore, forex and stock trading have been around for hundreds of years, but why don't we say they can reduce unemployment or help alleviate poverty? OP is unnecessarily exaggerating too much about bitcoin and can easily mislead newbies.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When to invest in bitcoin on: September 06, 2023, 02:58:16 AM
Not only in bear market but the right time to invest in Bitcoin is when you're finally decided that you are a 100% sure about it.
If you or anyone wants to wait on a 100% assurance to invest in bitcoin, you just might end up not having to invest at all. That’s because, there isn’t any 100% assurance on bitcoin investment or any other investments out there. It completely undermines the risk factor of it and as such, you just might be doing it wrong.

You’ve got to understand the risk, have a good knowledge of what you’re about to invest in as well as how to safeguard your investment and that would be a green.

Those that are waiting on a bear market or a market at the dip to invest in bitcoin would end up procrastinating and never get to invest. It’s better you DCA.

I think what he is saying is that when we have enough confidence in bitcoin and are sure of our decision that is the best time to invest. Because everyone knows bitcoin is very volatile and in investing risk and profit are always proportional to each other, as an investor no one does not know this.

But I agree with you that the people who are still waiting for the price to drop further to buy will definitely never buy, or they will have to buy at a higher price. Waiting for a cheap price to buy is an unwise idea when it comes to bitcoin because it is unpredictable. DCA is the solution.

And it was an exciting match. It was 5 hard-fought sets. Both played at their limit and although Zverev had more playing time in the previous matches, Sinner had more problems with his body and fitness. For Zverev it is a great success to reach the quarter finals of a Grand Slam tournament again. There he will play against Alcaraz, who has had much less playing time so far and will therefore be more fitter.

Damn, this was a great match. It was going back and forth between these two. And if I am honest I have to definitely say that I kind of did not expect this outcome from this match. I thought that Sinner was going to be the winner of this match. He did try really hard to get the win as well.  But in the end, I have to say Zverev was the one who really performed better in that match.

But the next match is going to be a lot harder. He is going to face Alcaraz in the next match. I don't think he will be able to win that match, to be honest.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government vs Bitcoin on: September 05, 2023, 10:10:00 AM
Governments frequently misunderstand bitcoin innovation.
This impression arises from the disproportionate bans and regulations they enact.
Although occasionally the bitcoin regulations appear unreasonable, I posit that bitcoin is not as detrimental as suggested. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I don't believe that any government misunderstood bitcoin; in fact, I believe that most governments understand bitcoin and how it works better than you do. The problem is that governments can't control it. For example, in my country, there have been times when governments have issued regulations prohibiting further use of nvestment in bitcoin, even though they are aware that these regulations are unworkable. Governments want to find a way to profit from anything that becomes popular, and bitcoin is no exception.
and if you look among them, you'll see that they make investments as well as this type of guidelines. Bitcoin already runs the globe, and I have no doubt that it will do so in the future, no matter how hard they attempt to outlaw it.
The government is the head of a country, they are the ones who have controlled us for thousands of years, so it would be naive to assume they have bitcoin ignorance. The government is smart and they are doing what is in their best interest and banning bitcoin is in their interest too.

Regarding the acceptance of bitcoin, I believe that all governments will soon accept it because they gradually realize the benefit of accepting it, which is being able to collect huge taxes from us. And of course, we will be able to use bitcoin but there will be limitations, we will never be free to use bitcoin as we want, we need to comply with the law. That is why many governments have accepted bitcoin as an asset, not a currency.

Nepalese players batted very confidently against the experienced bowlers of India. And as a result of this Asia Cup, I believe the confidence and experience of the Nepalese players have increased. We will see better gameplay from Nepal in future. Nepal can now challenge teams like UAE, Netherlands and Zimbabwe. They have a strong enough squad. Their batsmen are performing quite well. But still their bowling line-up is quite weak. Nepal management needs to find more talented bowlers. Karan, Lalit and Kushal Malla bowled well but it was not enough. The performance of the bowlers needs further improvement. As this team is improving rapidly, it is expected that the performance of their bowlers will improve even more in the coming days.
They have one world class bowler with them - Sandeep Lamichhane. But his recent form has been quite poor. He is going through a lot of personal turmoil right now, and this seems to have affected his performance. And with Sandeep in poor form, the rest of the Nepal bowlers are also not able to perform well. Karan Chhetri and Lalit Rajbanshi bowled decently at times, but they lack the consistency to build up pressure and take wickets. Anyway, they have a very young squad and their performance can only improve with each passing year.

I have seen good performances from Kushalk Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh in several matches in the past. Aasif is a fantastic batsman. I think his performance will improve if he works harder. Kushal Malla is also capable of batting quite well. Nepal has talented batsmen. Now they need proper guidance. They need an experienced coach now. Then the party is likely to become stronger in the future. I agree with you that even though Nepali squad has talented bowlers, they don't play well under pressure. I think this problem is due to lack of experience. As Nepal's bowlers become experienced, they will be able to bowl well under pressure.

Nepal played very well. Nepal's batsmen performed well against experienced bowlers like India. While the team lost all wickets for 104 runs against Pakistan, they collected 230 runs against India. He batted well. They are improving very fast. Nepal team is now stronger than teams like UAE and Oman.

It was not possible for Nepal to win against India. India is an experienced team. Still it is admirable that Nepal has performed as it has. India won very easily. They did not lose any wicket. Both the openers batted very carefully. Their target was to win against Nepal without losing any wickets. After a long time I have seen an excellent innings from Rohit Sharma. Even then, we are not sure if Rohit Sharma will be able to continue with such consistency.
They have a lot of positives to take away from the match. While batting, Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Sompal Kami, Dipendra Singh Airee and Gulsan Jha all made significant contributions. There was one unwanted runout towards the end, and without that they could have got to somewhere around 250. But still a good performance from them. Some of the bowlers also did well, especially Karan KC, Lalit Rajbanshi and Kushal Malla. But they were unable to keep the pressure because from the other end Sandeep Lamichhane and Sompal Kami were leaking too many runs.   

Nepalese players batted very confidently against the experienced bowlers of India. And as a result of this Asia Cup, I believe the confidence and experience of the Nepalese players have increased.

India vs Nepal

India won the toss and elected to field against Nepal. I thought India would win the toss and decide to bat. And will beat the Nepalese team by a big margin by providing a big target. Because Nepal is a relatively weak team.
Perhaps India captain Rohit Sharma took the fielding decision because the weather was not good. There is a possibility of rain. So he is not interested in taking any risk. He decided to field. And if the match is delayed due to rain, and the umpire decides to shorten the over
India won the toss and decided to bowl first in pallekele international stadium Sirlinka. It is amazing to see Nepal batting against India in the first powerplay scoring 65 runs with 1 loss of Kushal Bhurtel at 38 runs in just 25 balls with 3 Fours and 2 sixs. From India Ravindra Jadeja bowling well picking 3 wickets by just 25 runs in 7 overs. Now current score of Nepal is 125 runs in a loss of 4 wickets in 28.3 overs. Aasif Sheikh played an amazing performance scoring half a century against the top bowling line in India and playing at 58 unbeaten. I know Nepal is a weak team but if they set a 250-plus target then have a chance to win and qualify for the Super Four.
The Match has been stopped due to rain.At this time ,Nepal score has reached 178 in 36 overs and they have lost 6 wickets.
Nepal Bestman are trying their best to give India a tough target ,but India is a very strong team compared to Nepal and they are taking wickets of Nepal with their good bowling performance.M.Siraj and Jadeja took five wickets for Nepal with their good bowling performances.I don't think Nepal will be able to give a hundred run target to India.
After the stopped Match was limited Overs 23 overs India chased down 146 runs in 23 overs while India chase down the target and scored 147 runs without any loss of wickets in 20.1 overs. What a Victory by Inian team beat Nepal by 10 Wickets. Nepal batted very well in this match he scored 230 runs all out in 48.2 overs against a top bowling test Cricket nation is not a cup of team. Nepal is a weak team first time playing Asia Cup.
 The player of the match is Rohit Sharma For his brilliant bowling performance scored 74 runs unbeaten in just 59 balls and Shubman Gill also played a good inning of 57 runs unbeaten and chase down the target without any loss. But one thing is these batters don't performance against top class bowling line Pakistan only score runs in home ground or lower opponent team.

Nepal played very well. Nepal's batsmen performed well against experienced bowlers like India. While the team lost all wickets for 104 runs against Pakistan, they collected 230 runs against India. He batted well. They are improving very fast. Nepal team is now stronger than teams like UAE and Oman.

It was not possible for Nepal to win against India. India is an experienced team. Still it is admirable that Nepal has performed as it has. India won very easily. They did not lose any wicket.

Novak Djokovic is going to play against Gojo in the next match. I think Novak Djokovic should be able to win the match. After all, he’s going to be really confident since he was able to make a great comeback in the last match.
Novak Djokovic won the game in three sets against Gojo and worked really well for the victory, he was well prepared to catch Gojo's serves and he did it well. Djokovic knows that it gets tougher now on his way to break another record.

 He will have to put in extra effort in his next game against Taylor Fritz and try to win the game quicker.

Djokovic will play Fritz in the next match. The last match against Gojo was easy for him. He didn't even lose one set. But the next match against Fritz is definitely going to be far more harder. I believe that Djokovic will be able to win the next match.  After all, he is on his way to breaking another record as you said.  He will have to put in one of his best performances to win the next match.



As I previously predicted, Novak Djokovic will play more effectively to save his energy because in the following rounds, he will find stronger opponents to put up a tough fight against him.
Fritz has met Djokovic 7 times and it is surprising that Fritz has not won once against Djokovic, and the last meeting was in Cincinnati. Fritz even got a bagel in the first set, and Djokovic won the match quite easily.
Maybe there will be different things happening but seeing how consistent Djokovic is in Grand Slam tournaments then this will still be a match that he will go through well to get to the semifinals.
Only a player who plays consistently and plays with minimal mistakes will be able to beat Djokovic unless this veteran player is not fit.

As we know Fritz has never been able to win against Djokovic,  he will be much more determined to break that curse.  So Novak Djokovic will have to perform really well to win the next match.  Of course, we know that the head to head comparison suggests Djokovic is going to be the winner of this match.  I believe the match is going to be pretty competitive regardless of whoever the winner is.  I also do think that Djokovic is going to win however it is going to be tough.

Perhaps India captain Rohit Sharma took the fielding decision because the weather was not good. There is a possibility of rain. So he is not interested in taking any risk. He decided to field. And if the match is delayed due to rain, and the umpire decides to shorten the over, then it becomes easier for India to win the match.

Pakistan team won against Nepal by a huge margin of 238 runs. Nepal's batting line-up is very weak. Indian bowlers should restrict Nepal to 200 today. The team collected 12 runs without losing any wickets in 3 overs.
Nepal have got good start scoring 42-0 in 8 overs. Bhurtel is in good form, while Aasif is struggling to score runs. Sami and Siraj have opened the spell. Withstanding wickets will help Nepal score good runs. Pakistan won against Nepal with a big margin and this time such a difference won't happen. Already consecutive catches dropped by Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli. Those catches would help Bhurtel score good runs. If this continues we can expect Nepal to score 250+ runs in 50 overs.
Nepal has made an excellent start. I don't think the opening pair will bat with such responsibility in Nepal. Nepal's two openers are very cautious against India's experienced bowlers. They collected 53 runs in 9 overs without losing any wicket.
Against Pakistan, Nepal lost three top-order batsmen in just 2 overs. And the team lost all wickets by 104 runs. They are batting very well against India. Kushal Bhurtel remained unbeaten with 32 runs off 23 balls and Aasif Sheikh 19 runs off 32 balls. India used their 3 bowlers in 9 overs but they were not able to take a single wicket.

I am very satisfied with Nepal's batting today. The game of 14 overs ended, the batsmen of Nepal collected 73 runs, the team lost one match wicket. I did not think that Nepal's top order would bat so well. Because in the previous match I saw terrible batting by Nepal.
The Nepal team is slowly improving. Chances of them winning against India are very low. Unless a miracle happens, it is not possible for Nepal to win against a team like India. Even though Nepal lost I would say they played well. If they can score more than 200 runs against India it will be a big achievement for them.

In the next match, Matteo Arnaldi is going to face Alcaraz. That is definitely going to be a very difficult match for him to win. I definitely do not think that he will actually be able to win that match because Alcaraz is the number one tennis player in the world right now. So even though he was able to beat Cameron Norrie, I believe he is definitely not going to beat Alcaraz.

I watched several of Matteo Arnaldi's matches several times, and I can say that he will be a player who can provide quite strong resistance to Alcaraz, but when checking at the bookies it seems that Carlos Alcaraz will very easily finish this match @ 1.01, but if Arnaldi plays a game of tennis At best it's very possible it will be 4 sets but still for Alcaraz to win
...

Well, at this odd @1.01 is much much more convenient try to get the impossible odd of a win of Arnaldi!
This guy has won against Ruud this year, he is only 20 years old...I don't see any chance for a win so yes Alcaraz to win in 4 sets could be a potential option...

I do not see any chance for Arnaldi to win the match. Alcaraz is the far better player going into this match and there is probably in 99% chance that he will be able to win without too much complications in this match. Arnaldi was able to beat a better opponent in the last match, I don't think he will be able to do this again. And Let's be honest the last opponent that he was able to beat was nowhere near the skill level of Alcaraz. So a chance for him to win this match does seem to be highly unlikely.




Sinner plays Zverev tomorrow too and is favourite @1.62, this is his toughest challenge
in this tournament IMO. Zverev had a tough 2 tie break sets against Dimitrov but the
following 2 sets were easy 6-1, 6-1 so based on that Sinner will be a stronger opponent
than Dimitrov and will beat Zverev.

Sinner is definitely going to be a hard opponent for Zverev. Sinner is actually going to be the better one in my opinion. But this match should be competitive and both players should be able to perform well in this match. It is hard to predict with certainty which player is going to win in this match. But I will also say that Sinner is actually going to be the winner, that is if I have to choose. And definitely, Sinner is going to be a very stronger opponent compared to whom Zverev had faced in the last match.

India vs Nepal

India won the toss and elected to field against Nepal. I thought India would win the toss and decide to bat. And will beat the Nepalese team by a big margin by providing a big target. Because Nepal is a relatively weak team.
Perhaps India captain Rohit Sharma took the fielding decision because the weather was not good. There is a possibility of rain. So he is not interested in taking any risk. He decided to field. And if the match is delayed due to rain, and the umpire decides to shorten the over, then it becomes easier for India to win the match.

Pakistan team won against Nepal by a huge margin of 238 runs. Nepal's batting line-up is very weak. Indian bowlers should restrict Nepal to 200 today. The team collected 12 runs without losing any wickets in 3 overs.

I would suggest to pay attention also in Arnaldi vs Norrie match live right now. The Italian guy is leading the match 2 set at 0.
in third set he has won one break point and he is leading the match 3-0.
Norrie was the strong favorite of the match... it would be interesting a come back (current odd @6.25).
The favourite of the match Cameron Norrie have lost to Matteo Arnaldi. From the beginning of the match Arnaldi was much focused on making more and more points. This had made him win the match on direct sets 6-3 6-4 6-3. Comeback performance is always good from Djokovic, but the odds never go down. If I'm not wrong he's confident in winning the match and to make the opponent happy he loses tgy first two sets. Djokovic's win against Laslo Djere lasted 5 sets 6-4 6-4 1-6 1-6 3-6.

In the next match, Matteo Arnaldi is going to face Alcaraz. That is definitely going to be a very difficult match for him to win. I definitely do not think that he will actually be able to win that match because Alcaraz is the number one tennis player in the world right now. So even though he was able to beat Cameron Norrie, I believe he is definitely not going to beat Alcaraz.

Novak Djokovic is going to play against Gojo in the next match. I think Novak Djokovic should be able to win the match. After all, he’s going to be really confident since he was able to make a great comeback in the last match.

Alcaraz vs Evans the total line is set at 28.5 , i prefer the under 29.5 for some extra safety

That leaves us needing Evans 11 games or under in 3 sets, he has won 7 and 4 games in their past H2H (2 sets matches) and i really doubt he gives alcaraz any sort of trouble  today

My best US open bet for  today  Grin

I also do not believe that Evans is actually going to be giving Alcaraz any kind of problem. It is a match between the number one and the number 26. So of course everyone is going to expect Alcaraz to win. But I am not going to be surprised if Evans is actually able to take one set. However, I don’t expect anything more from him, to be honest.

Sinner is playing a great tournament, I feel he'll walk over Wawrinka. I see it as a clean 3-0 but I won't be betting on it - Wawrinka is a great player but simply lacks stamina to keep that high level.

Sinner is definitely not going to face too much problems against Wawrinka. Sinner is just a better player, he’s also in good form right now. He is in such confidence that he is probably not going to even lose one set. Wawrinka even though is a decent player, he probably is not good enough to win this match.


Đoković showed his mental stamina once again, the guy is like a robot. Djere was 2-0 up and basically didn't stand a chance.
His next opponent is Borna Gojo, I think I'll play whatever handicap the bookies give me here.

I'm looking forward to Alcaraz tonight, I feel he might struggle against Evans a bit as well.

A great comeback from Novak Djokovic. It almost looks like he was definitely going to lose this match against Djere. But he made a great comeback and successfully won the next three sets. Even though we know that he is capable of doing such things, it was still a very unbelievable performance from him. He will be playing against Gojo in the next match. I believe he’s going to win this one as well.
