Tennis League All Thread

Today he's playing against Delbonis. If seems like the odds are above 2.5 for Delpo. In the last five matches Delbonis have lost four matches. It is clear that the injuries that hurting the performance. This match is predicted to be win for Delbonis. Anyhow before revealing his announcement on retirement going for a bet on him is good.

Delpo did not have a chance, injuries plus that big pause left their mark and his timings were off. He started with a break and then lost most of the remaining games. Too bad, would love that he managed to get a win on his last tournament.

Maybe you dont know one more bad thing really bad thing happen to Delpo the last times, Im from Argentina like him so i have more information for local media.
The last year his father dies, for all people this its a massive blow but in this cases, his father managed all the economy of Del Potro.
So its a double blow.
The real big problem becomes when the las month he start to receive a debt mails or i dont know how to say correctly in english.
Well the things its his father lost all the money he win during his career. And this not finish not only lose the money also have debts for the same amount.
Like most people know Argentina its a big field and a top in Agro-business well Del Potro father invest in this but i dont know how he managed to lose all.
So imagine Delpo mind. You are fighting to a injury and you receive the dead of your father and after know your father ruins you, and now you maybe are poor. And for worst you cant still playing for that injury.

I remember the Copa David win against Croatia. So thanks for that.

Never heard about that part of Delpo problems, I believe it has not made news outside of Argentina. I am a bit surprised Delpo hasn't shown his face on some Grand Slam if he has money problems, I am quite sure he is still big enough name to get invitation to one of them and just showing there pays very good money (over 100k$ in AO this year).

His playing career is probably over but I am sure he has good connections in Argentina Tennis association so maybe some job as Davis Cup manager or similar could be in cards for him.

[darxiaomi]

Yes man its truly sad. I copy here the link to all who understand spanish.

https://www.parati.com.ar/news/la-millonaria-estafa-del-padre-a-juan-martin-del-potro-dilapido-su-fortuna-con-malos-negocios-solo-le-quedan-deudas-y-el-10-de-lo-que-gano/

And yes , he maybe and i think the same can work in the Argentina Tennis Association but here all knows they are a snake nest.
To take an example for a lot of years Argentina played the Davis Cup without some players because they were fighting with the association. And the boss changing and the problem still because have factions.

Here a lot of tennis player go to the media like periodist or presentators for ESPN or FOX like Juan Ignacio Chela, Monaco and others.
But Delpo is  a shy guy so dont make sense to go to the media for presentator, maybe can be a good comentator in the big tournaments like Clerc a 70` player who won a lot of tournaments and its the commentator for Latin America in the bigs torunaments por ESPN.

Well man i have to have re-answer you sadly. Look at this.

"They seized the prize to Del Potro that he received for participating in the Argentina Open: he has millionaire debts."

That its the tittle of the note. So look automatically he collect his prices its seized by the law. I dont know how he can make to won anything.

Two semi-finals today in Rotterdam:

Tsitsipas v Lehecka and Felix AA v Rublev

TBH I was surprised with Lehecka's win over Musetti, I'm glad I didnt bet
on any of the quarter-finals yesterday. I cannot see him getting past Tsitsipas
as per the odds:

Tsitsipas 1.11 - 6.20 Lehecka

The match between Norrie and Felix AA seems to have been a right old
battle over 2 sets, We should see a stronger year this year for Felix. Will he
manage to get past Rublev? The odds suggest it will be close:

Rublev 1.62 - Felix AA 2.26

[Jating]

^^ I like the -4.5 for Stefanos Tsitsipas here, I think he can cover this spread and should be well rested. Don't want to end in 2-0 set though as the chances of that spread is slim. Most likely a 3 set victory is good to cover it.

Same with Rublev s FAA, Rublev -1.5 and over 23.5. It will be a great battle but I'm seeing Rublev winning in a close 3 set match.

What you wrote does not make much sense. When you play handicap on a favorite player you hope for 2:0 every single time before the match starts. For instance clear 6:3 6:4 makes your bet winning but if Tsitsipas losses one set, even in Tie Break then it is not enough to cover the spread. If it gets to 6:6 in a set then you hope that your favorite looses it and makes up for it in the rest of the match

I am skipping this match since I made a lot of money on Lehecka this weak and don't want to go against him. If I had to play something I would opt for 2:0 for Tsitsi. Would not be surprised if this finishes 7:6 6:4

I'm just following the match between Tsitsipas and Leheck and the Greek is about to lose the first set.
Leheck is currently leading 5:3 in the first set.
Is a big surprise and a victory for Leheck possible in this match?
Too bad I didn’t try to bet on Leheck, given the odds 
What do you think?
Tsitsipas has not achieved a great tennis result for a long time.
EDIT: Tsitsipas just lost the first set.

but he won the following 2 sets.

On Tsitsipas, is it my imagination or does he seem to do better in the lesser
competitions rather than the grand slams? I definitely think a lot was expected
of him last year but has only 2 titles and more expected this year. I think he is
good to win Rotterdam, he should beat either Rublev or Felix AA IMO.

Also in grand slams he can reach far, but Tsitsipas is not always consistent. He reached 3 times the semifinals on AO (also this year) and already reached the final in Roland Garros. I think it is a matter of time before he wins his first grandslam.

Tsitsipas is never consistent. He is so called one of the best in the world but cannot win any tournament. All of his points are from finals or semi finals. He dosent have that winning mentality to win a big tournament or even any tournament but he is still in top 10

Being from the sporting background he has made his entry into the top 10 list. His mother being a professional at Women's Tennis Association and his father serving as his coach is something to note. From the very early age he's playing tennis and he's just 23 which lets him win more events.

Yeah, I can attest to that, been betting on him for quite some time but there are times that he is a complete letdown. He really needs to go over the hump of winning a big tournament and let him overcome that mental problem.

Now that he won against Jiri Lehecka an move to the finals, I hope that he can win his first tournament for this year against Felix AA.

Tsitsipas is a bit similar to Medwedew, he also has very bad games at times when you would never expect him to perform so badly. I wonder if we will ever get to see consistent players like the 3 GOATs. That level of consistency is just insane. Right now I doubt that there is anyone out there who could even get close to the three and deliver for more than a decade.

In fact, we have had players in the history of tennis who have played at a top level for a long time, such as McEnroe, Connors, Sampras ... but it has never happened that we have the three greatest tennis players playing at the same time.
We will probably never see something like that again, in any sport.

From other tennis news, in the second semifinal of the Rotterdam tournament, Auger-Aliassime also beat Rublev in three sets and will play in the final against Tsitsipas.
In the final of the tournament in Dallas, Opel will play against Brooksby and in the final of Buenos Aires, Schwartzman will play against Ruud.

Great win by Felix AA over Rublev, I didnt have a bet on that one. Tsitsipas is slight
favourite to take the title today @ 1.77 with Felix AA being 2.02. I know I said Tsitsipas
should beat either but I think I'll bet on Felix, aa I said previously this could be a great
year for him after some good performances last year.

I had a bet on Ruud to beat Delbonis and he is favourite to beat Swartzmann @ 1.50
to 2.55 for Diego.

Both Felux and Casper can put pressure on Rublev who is  in 7th on the world ranking
if they both win today.

[Trofo]

I had a bet on Ruud to beat Delbonis and he is favourite to beat Swartzmann @ 1.50
to 2.55 for Diego.

I took Ruud to beat Schwartzman today @1.48. I feel like he has a distinct advantage on clay with his strong serve / forehand combo against opponent who does not have a strike strong enough to finish the points easy. I am bit afraid for the bet since I did not watch the tournament at all so I am not sure how those guys are actually playing at the moment. This bet is based on last year clay performances.

[Jating]

1-1 for me for the FAA vs Rublev and Tsitsi vs Lehecka.

Amazing win though by FAA it seems that he has experience or found some confidence in his game.

Now he will be up for the finals against Tsitsipas, I will go over the bet in this match. This could go 3 sets easily.

There you go, Tsitsipas lost it. He is definitely failing because he is bad at controlling his emotions. Players like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all have in common this quality that they can even defend five match balls in a row while looking quite relaxed doing so. That is just insanity and deserves endless respect.

As you said, having world starts playing during the same era is beautiful for fans, but a rare thing. Messi and Ronaldo in soccer is one example, but even there a third player was never able to seriously establish himself while two were at their prime. Nobody can really compete with Hamilton these days in formula 1 even though he didn't win the last title. In any sport it is all too often a single person dominating it. In tennis we as fans were very lucky to see three players winning 61 major titles in roughly 15 - 17 years. That means essentially every single major title went to one the three players. Insanity!

[aoluain]

I'm happy I changed my bet to Felix AA, great win, 6-4 & 6-2. The final score looks
like it was an easy win for Felix, maybe it was and best of luck to him. Hopefully
he will be one to watch this year.

Tsitsipas however doesnt seem to be progressing in my mind and I think a lot
of us lost Satoshi's with him last year overall.
