Tsitsipas loses his match against Galan in 4 sets. Lost the first set 6-0! What's going on with Tsitsipas? he was one of the favs to win the tournament and he goes down to world no. 94 in the opening round. Halep lost in the opening round as well. Quite a few upsets on Day 1.

Wow, I really expected wins by both Tsitsipas and Halep, Tsitsipas reaching the final of Cincinnati,
we would have expected the form to continue,  Same with Halep, winning the Canadian Open this
month we would have expected at the very least a first round win.

Luckily I didnt bet on them

At times matches go completely against the expectation. Tsitsipas is on a winning track and everyone believed he would make good progress. Rather than any other sports, it is good to make bets against the odds suggested by the gambling houses. There is more chance of making a win, because many match results will have similar outcomes in the upcoming days.

@romero121 I kinda agree to your statement, because in the past we knew that Federer would win, then came Nadal and Djokovic era where they would win most of their matches and thus wagering on Tennis matches were easy to do, however the current generation is very unpredictable and wagering small amounts against them is not a bad suggestion.

However people should not wager big on unknown player’s to cause upsets, and they should apply the basic rule i.e. to study both the opponent and see if the underdog has any potential of causing an upset like we witnessed in Tsitsipas match.

I agree somewhat but its very difficult to forsee these upsets although I think it happened
before to me with Sinner and probably Tsitsipas last year at some stage and I learned my
lesson then!


Alcaraz plays today against Baez and obviously its not worth betting on Alcaraz as the odds
are so low, I can take Baez +8.5 which is appealing @2.13, Alcaraz can have lull's in matches so
it might be worth a bet.

So Tsitsipas is out already, as we have discussed earlier, it seems his game is going down this year, perhaps his mentally on his lost in Cincinnati still lingers on his mind.

-8.5 for Alcaraz might be still a good one though @aoluain? still at 1.68 so still a value bet at ML. But probably have to bet a even money to get a good returns.

I'm also looking at Sinner vs Altmaier, good to include in a parlay.

There is no doubt that Alcaraz is a better player. But will he be able to defeat Rafael Nadal is something to be seen?

Yes, but when you look at these players and when they were 32, did you think they would be battling at this level at age 36? These guys are just from another star. Many people say there will be another Rafael Nadal and so on, but when? These are just marks that have historic value. It's so crazy that it is hard to imagine that some will ever beat that.

The players who people were expecting to be the next Rafael Nadal aren't in the most favorable of situations right now. As a matter of fact, Rafael Nadal actually ended up outlasting them all in the end. Despite being 36 years old, he is still playing a very good game. It is impossible for anyone to underestimate Rafael Nadal in any way. His age does not make him obsolete. Compared to a lot of younger players, he is still performing much better.

Andrea Petkovic will end her career. She will only play the US Open and then it is over. The reason is that she keeps having too many injuries. Maybe she will play a small tournament in Europe as a farewell. Today she will play against the Olympic champion Belinda Bencic.

I do not think her next match will be easy since she has been injured quite often during these years. So I don’t think she is able to carry on for a long period of time. It does seem like she is really nearing the end of her career. And honestly, I also do not expect too much from her at this stage. Because in my mind she will not be able to deliver what she could previously.

Right now, we have a few very interesting matches in progress with V Williams are struggling in first round match against Belgium's Van Uytvanck lost first set by score of 6 - 1 and now in second set have score of 3 - 2 in William's favor. In another match Petkovic is doing much better than expectations against Olympics gold medalist Bencic after losing first set won second one and now in third both are working hard to win match.

In men's event, right now two Croatians are doing good Clic is leading match by 2 - 0 and Coric after having good start few days back now here won first set and now having tiebreaker in second set Rublev is also after losing one set now have led by 2 - 1 with good position in third set.

Venus Williams lost the second set also with 7-6 so she is out of the tournament. I am wondering if she will also announce her retirement; why not retire together with Serena; would be a nice goodbye for the homecrowd?

If you have followed me in this thread, I'm a fan of Tsitsipas but recently said he is on a decline and so I never put money on him and it's good that I didn't because he lost in the very first round.

Sinner though was extended to 5 sets by D. Altmaier, lost the first set, but he come back strong in the next two sets and then drilled him in the final set. Coric also escape with a win, same case, he was extended to fifth set by E. Couacaud and almost lost, the score is 6-4.

Defending champion Emma Raducanu has already been eliminated in the first round at the US Open. Another favourite, Yelena Rybakina, has also been eliminated. Most recently, she won Wimbledon. It seems that many recent winners are not yet playing consistently enough to continue playing at the top.

[jaberwock]

Right now, things are looking not good for many top seed players as they are facing hard time against new generation players for their success, surely Venus Williams's time is also ended, and she needs to announce her retirement as well with her sister. Naomi Osaka lost in just 90 minutes against American Collins and British star Raducanu also lost against French opponent Cornet, Olympian gold medalist Bencic done good job fight back against Petkovic.

In Men's event most of the players done hard work for their win as opponents done good resistance before giving up Coric, Sinner and Musetti all done hard work until fifth set for winning their first round matches which is interesting, and we can expect some more upsets after Tsitsipas exit from this event in first round.

Upsets do really happen specially in women's side. It's maybe the wear and tear specially for Rybakina, others like Raducanu and Osaka was not able to duplicate their performance. Williams is already way past his prime already and there are a lot of young tennis players coming into the ranks now.

Carlos Alcaraz going into the second round, Sebastian Baez  retire during their match. Nadal lost the 1st set but was able to control the last 3 sets and win.

[Trofo]

Really difficult to find value in this early rounds. I checked the markets today and nothing looks amazing.

Maybe Korda to win against Paul and make it 4. win in 4 matches? Odds are good.

Wolf should win quite easy against Tabilo, I am on -1.5 set handicaps here.

Kyrgios should win 3:0 but I said to myself that I am never placing a bet on this particular @#@#!& So skipping it

[bct_ail]

Osaka was already not been good in recent weeks and had also had a lot to do with injuries. She had already stopped in the first round in Toronto because of back pain. Her opponent at the US Open, Collins, was also a finalist at the Australian Open this year. So in her current form, it is no shame that she lost.

I think all of the predictions are quite a on point. Honestly, I would have also said the same things. I have to say it but this seems to be quite an easy prediction for anyone who follows tennis.

Korda vs paul It’s going to be interesting though. Don’t think one is Miles better compared to the other.
Odds are preety much similar,


I am going to agree that Wolf should have an easy time against Tabilo.

At least if something really unbelievable does not happen, Kyrgios can be unpredictable at times but I don’t see why he might lose this.

Yes I agree, its hard to find value, my nice bet on Baez yesterday got cancelled when
he pulled out, I had a +8.5 handicap on him @2.13 and he was down 2 sets 6-4, 6-4 and
was looking like delivering my bet.


Just tuned into the Murray v Nava match and Murray is down 1 set already, Murrays odds
are 1.32 now, Nava's 3.4, I feel like doing something but dont know what ...

Murray is clearing it, 2:1 and 4:0 in fourth set, he is in for next round
Berettinni is also in fourth set, but it is just 2:1 in fourth, and without break, should be finished in four sets as well

nothing exciting to see for betting tonight, maybe Kyrgios to win 3:0, but I will refrain from tennis until tomorrow

Took a quick look myself also, but hard to find any value bets. Personally, I still place bets on Kyrgrios but not when he is playing lower ranked players; we saw it in Wimbledon that he can easily loose 1 or 2 sets against these guys because his motivation is not always 100% in these matches.

Same here, not value bets for now, perhaps it's time to just watch and see how this players are doing, our favorites so that we will know their form and maybe we can bet on them on the next succeeding rounds if they are the underdogs.

Murray won already in 3 sets against Nava, good call for this one if he at least have Murray on handicap as he blasted Nava in the last 3 sets after a 7-5 lost in the first.

Medvedev vs Rinderknech later.

Raducanu won last year the US Open with a lot of luck and it was shown now with her getting knocked out. I think we will see her below 100 rank once the list is updated on monday. Swiatek for me is the main favorite even tho she is in bad form.

She's not doing well in her performances that's undeniable but I don't agree with saying that what she achieved earlier was the result of luck, as far as I know last year's US Open was her second GS and being able to win in his second appearance is an achievement that not many players can achieve, and it must be remembered that for the women's sections no one dominates almost no player can defend her title in the following year after William's dominance is no longer there, Raducannu is still young and she will be able to get more achievements if she gets a coach who can develop her abilities.

FAA is already down 2 sets from J. Draper will this be the next surprise at the US Open?

Ouch! FAA is out , I had a bet on him to win!

Raducanu has been disappointing since her win this time last year for sure and we cannot
be roo hard on her because opponent in the final Fernandez hasnt been lighting up
the courts either.

I kind of know where Joca97 is coming from with the luck but that is true for many players
and could come through again this year on the womens side, nearly all the top seeded players
have been knocked out already which leaves a nice path open for the likes of Gauf to do something big.
