that damn Rune lost, as soon as the game started I was curious and for that reason I even dedicated a little of my time to watching the game and see that I don't like watching tennis because I fall asleep, so I start watching the game and to my chagrin I'm seeing the damn Rune losing, I spend 10 minutes watching the game and I fell asleep, when I woke up the game was already over and to my chagrin the damn Rune lost and with that my bets were also lost, what is regrettable about this is that the guy is much younger than his opponent, and he had good results in relation to his opponent, I speak in terms of career achievements

but in this game it seemed to me that his opponent had become younger and he was much older, something extremely ridiculous, his opponent who is much older than he was walking around his class, this was notorious in the few minutes of the game I watched it, well I even regret having put this game on my parlay

Rune has performed really badly. In every situation and statistics, Wawrinka was better compared to Rune in this match. This was honestly quite surprising for a lot of people, including me. I did not think Rune was going to lose this match. But of course, from the start of the match, he was on the back foot. It never felt like he actually had any control over the match. Towards the end, it was a little close. Probably even closer than the liking of Wawrinka. But eventually, it was not a good enough performance from Rune.
 
This match actually felt like it was fixed even though I certainly don't think that is the case.

I agree, good match, arguably the best so far in this tournament. Zverev was hitting BIG making Medvedev look like an amateur sometimes. That backhand! Wow! Perhaps he didn't even need that much power to win, just to make less mistakes. Also serve was not that impressive (or Medvedev receiving somewhere in the stands made it look so). 
snip~

Great match by both, I was able to grab a bet on Medvedev in the first set
when the odds went to 2.0 - very nice.

What I'm taking from the match is that Zverev is getting back into his top level of
performance and Medvedev is still in top form to be able to tough it out and take
the win in the 3rd set!

I'm going again with Medvedev v Fokina, he is an unpredictable player and
gets down when things are not going his way.

Medvedev has given his opponent very good competition in this match. Well, actually it was Zverev who has given the competition because Medvedev actually won the match. Never at any point in this match, it felt like it was going to be one sided. The match was always going back and forth. Anyone could have been the winner of this match. In the end, all I can say is it was a good comeback from Medvedev after losing the first set.

I am also going with Medvedev in the next match.

In the quarter finals Medvedev to play against Fokina, who is at his best in the tournament. Earlier he won against Garin to reach the quarter finals winning direct sets. Garin in his round of 32 defeated Ruud in direct sets, so Fokina could give tough fight against Medvedev. Each and every point turned very competing as the first two sets were won through the tie breaker.

[rdbase]

I see Medvedev becoming the favorite in this tournament after being able to get past his toughest challenger Zverev, in the quarterfinals he will face a relatively easier opponent and don't mean to underestimate his opponent but Medvedev is currently in his best condition it will be quite difficult for Fokina to stop him, so I don't think that Medvedev will lose in the quarter final match later

Felix Auger-Aliassime managed to beat T. Paul in a long battle, this was not an easy match for him. He needed 6 times to still play after Paul get match point several times, after trailing 3-6 during the tie break in the third set he was able to take all the points to close the match and advanced to face Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

Daniil Medvedev is looking like he about to win another match where he fell down and injured himself afterwards.
During his match against Alexander Zverev he rolled his ankle and it was looking like he was going to retire due to it as he laid there for about 3 minutes while the medical team looked at his injury. But he wrapped it, for the first time during a match he explained in the post interview, and continued on in the match and played the rest of the second set and then the entire third set to win the match. His odds were at some point over 4x closer to 5x as soon as he said he would play after wrapping his ankle. The oddsmakers didn't think he would win the match as he was still hobbling while walking on and off the court but said he was fine while running. Which was strange to everyone who witnessed the injury as it looked bad.
Just now he beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and it only took him two sets to do it.
He fell in this match and injured his thumb and it was cut pretty deep.
But he worked through the pain and finished the match without any difficulties one bit.
On to the semi-finals against Frances Tiafoe on Saturday.

Danil Medvedev have won the quarter finals and progressed to Semi finals. He have won the match on direct sets 6-3 7-5. As said this match isn't tough as the one he played against Zverev. Alcaraz to play against Felix Auger Aliassime is going to be interesting.

[Strongkored]

On to the semi-finals against Frances Tiafoe on Saturday.

Oh I didn't know that he got injured in that match, after successfully advancing to the semifinals it seems it's not a serious problem for him, and Tiafoe was impressive enough to beat Norrie in two sets because i thought that semi-final would be between Medvedev vs Norrie but that didn't happen.

Alcaraz to play against Felix Auger Aliassime is going to be interesting.

This match will be held tomorrow based on my time, the quarter-finals will be an interesting match even though Alcaraz have never won against Aliassime but a different result is very likely because Aliassime against Paul seemed to often drop points when it shouldn't have happened, this match is likely to take place 3 sets and fortunately, according to the schedule, it will be held in the morning in my area so I can see the match between these two young players.
The other quarter-finals are no less interesting because Fritz vs Sinner are both good players who can make this match long with all possibilities.

[aoluain]

Alcaraz v Felix AA is a tough one to call, I might go with the number 1 seed - Alcaraz but
I have not seen either playing this tournament so I might actually hold off on it altogether.

Likewise todays quarter final between Fritz and Sinner is difficult to call so I will hold off.

In the first semi final its Medvedev v Tiafoe, I think Medvedev will prevail and go to
the final and if so who of the 4 remaining competitors in the 2 remaining quarter finals
could beat him in the final? Alcaraz?

This guy is amazing! He won 3 tournaments in a row and now eased past Davidovich Fokina right into the semis! On a Masters series tournament!

Anyway, match of the day today (for me) is Fritz v Sinner. I'm not going to bet on this just watch: it's gonna be entertaining! 

Today's second ATP quarterfinal: Alcaraz v Auger Aliassime and I'm betting on Carlitos in this one. I just don't see the way how Felix can win this, sorry. Although 3 sets are possible.

WTA is pretty straightforward today: it's going to be an easy walk in a park for Rybakina and Swiatek. Rybakina is playing Muchova and Swiatek is taking on Sorana Cirstea.

This is indeed anything but normal... Not too long ago I thought that Medvedev isn't stable enough in his performances, but what can I say now. Won three tournaments in a row and has good chances to take home the title for the Indian Wells as well. Even more surprising that he left his match in the third round of the Australian Open already, but for now it seems as if 2023 is going to be his year. But in the end it also comes down to winning at least one GS title in order for the season to be a perfect one. Sure he can still become rank #1 in the ATP rankings, but a GS title is what they are playing for. Now the next ones will be tough. Djokovic and Nadal will play all of the upcoming GS I guess.

Whoa! Did you witness the quarterfinals where Danil Medvedev dominated? My prophecy was on point, and he's in phenomenal shape! Medvedev must be ecstatic right now and eagerly waiting for his next matches. Did you notice how effortlessly he won this match compared to his last? It's as if he played blindfolded. I mean, 6-3, 7-5? That's a cakewalk for him! However, it's not over yet; the harder the victory dance, the easier the match!
Oh, I'm excited about the upcoming Felix Auger-Aliassime and Carlos Alcaraz match! It's a real edge-of-your-seat thriller, and I'm not bluffing when I say I need a manicure! Although Auger-Aliassime struggled in the last game, he was able to come out on top, and I expect him to perform to the best of his abilities. Alcaraz, on the other hand, is a rising star in the tennis world. He's only 19, but his tennis skills are exceptional. It seems like he was born with a tennis racket in his hand! It's going to be a fantastic game; I can hardly wait to see these two in action!

Alcaraz v Felix AA is a tough one to call, I might go with the number 1 seed - Alcaraz but
I have not seen either playing this tournament so I might actually hold off on it altogether.

Alcaraz should be the better player going into this match against Felix. But at the same time, it is not going to be right to underestimate Felix at all. We have to remember that this is a match between the players who are at the absolute top of the competition. My opinion is that when it comes to the top 10 like this, it generally tends to be a lot more competitive than people generally expect. This is going to be 50/50 in my opinion. But of course, my prediction is going to be Alcaraz.

In the first semi final its Medvedev v Tiafoe, I think Medvedev will prevail and go to
the final and if so who of the 4 remaining competitors in the 2 remaining quarter finals
could beat him in the final? Alcaraz?

Medvedev should be able to win against Tiafoe. This is a little easier for me to predict personally. I don't think Tiafoe is at the same level as Medvedev.

Likewise todays quarter final between Fritz and Sinner is difficult to call so I will hold off.

Fritz vs Sinner is another example of the top players playing against each other. If I had to predict, I would say Fritz. But that's just an absolutely personal opinion. It is better to not bet on anyone.

Medvedev is playing really great tennis at the moment. He will certainly win against Tiafoe. I do not see anyone who could beat him in the final at the moment. Alcaraz is not ready yet. Medvedev comes into the final with a lot of confidence. He has already won 3 tournaments this year and will probably win this one as well.

The only thing that can stop Medvedev is that he is really tired. He already said that the court is awful and too slow and that it is causing problems for him. But Tiafoe might cause problems for Medvedev. But if Medvedev plays against Alcaraz he will win easily thats my opinion

Medvedev winning three tournaments could've boosted his confidence, but the opponents will try to take advantage over the injury. Medvedev will make it to the finals. Now the match between Alcaraz and Auger Aliassime have got importance as both are in high competence, though the odds are in favour of Alcaraz.

Alcaraz reaching the finals and the match between Medvedev and Alcaraz won't be that easy for both. Alcaraz winning the Argentina Open gives the confidence and in the previous encounter against Auger Aliassime he have lost the match in direct sets.

Didn't watch it because the time difference makes it difficult for me to follow some important matches unless it's a prime time match which is usually done at night which is in the morning at my place. I know he's been impressive this year not seeing him progress after failing in AO losing to S. Korda. When he was able to pass Fokina easily it was as predicted because he was in the best condition even a player like Djokovic he beat

Looking at the whole match and it has to be said that it didn't go as expected, Aliassime was too prone to errors and a couple of double faults handed Alcaraz points at crucial moments. The second set saw Aliassime improve but once again mistakes were the cause of many of her dropping points. Sinner vs Alcaraz I don't know which of the two will go to the final but it is very likely that in the final they will face Medvedev.

@n0ne Medvedev is in phenomenal form and even if he’s tired I yet expect him to win and reach the finals, and the only scenario I see him losing is if he’s playing with an hidden injury which makes it difficult for him to play. Also in the finals I see him winning it, because he truly deserves to win this tournament after putting in such phenomenal performances.

Hm yes he is in great shape, but I didn't think that Tiafoe would beat Fritz so easily, but once again Tiafoe is such an emotional player that he benefits a lot from the crowd cheering for him. That really raises his confidence and actually his level of play. On a good day I think he can also beat Medvedev. He is able to hit balls straight onto the line nonstop when he is at his best. But he also has days where he doesn't hit much very well. It depends but he has the people backing him as he is from the US. Everyone who has been doing sports knows that that can make a difference.

I wouldn't be so sure... modern tennis is so athletic, winning 2, 3 let alone 4 tournaments is a huge stress for your body (in fact I can't remember any player in recent times who would do it). I bet Medvedev feels completely worn out at this point and his biggest issue is fatigue not the competitors. He can as well lose to Tiafoe. And let's be fair, Davidovich Fokina didn't play the best match in his life against Medvedev so who knows what could have happened... So there's that. 

[bitbollo]

Sinner Alcaraz tomorrow could be one of the best match ever played between the two players.
They are showing great tennis and it's clear they are playing at HIGH level ...
Alcaraz is favorite but the number of wins for the opponents is 2-2 on direct match so .... nothing is sure or maybe we can expect some surprise

I would play over games in this match. I think we will see three sets for sure in this match. Alcaraz might be a slight favorite but i think Sinner wont go down that easily. Alcaraz will need to work hard to keep up with Sinners serve and playing style.
