How I hate these rain breaks. I have a bet on Tsitsipas to take at least one set and now I have to wait hours for it to finish. What is worse, Djokovic will probably come out swinging and turn it around.

How did Delbonis manage to loose against Opelka? I was sure this will be 2:0 victory for him. Good thing I did not have time to make the bet, would have been a big one.

That was fate Trofo, luckily!

Would love to see Tsitsipas beat Djokovic, I am really turned off by his on court
manners, he used to be my favourite player, not any more.

Nadal had a 2 set win over Zverev today also, something I really didnt expect, im actually
impressed with Nadal in Rome, he is struggling a bit but still finds ways to win.

I was also waiting for the Djokovic vs Tsitsipas, you know that I'm a big fan of Stepanos so here it is, still don't know but he has the advantage already by winning the first set.

Yes, pretty impressive win by Nadal, I think he had learn his lessons against Shapovalov yesterday, he doesn't want to get deep in the first set, so he breaks Zverev early and won in 2 sets.

So it will be Opelka vs Nadal in first semis.

After the win in Madrid I didn't think Nadal could defeat Zverev in two sets, but you already write very impressed. Tsitsipas vs Djokovic was the Greek on a good way to win the game, Djokovic was lucky with the rain, when the game starts again the game can look very different and Djokovic could turn the game around.

[TravelMug]

^^ That's what I'm afraid of, maybe Djoko can turn around as the delay might really affect Tsitsipas here.

And this is a lucky break for Djokovic, we all know that he has the ability to come back as well so Tsitsipas is still not safe even if he won the first set and leading the second. Nadal is in great shape right now, he is peaking at this tournament and probably won this going to the French Open.

[Jating]

Opelka vs Nadal SF - I think Nadal will go and push for a 2:0 set win here. Good bet.

Sonego vs Rublev - Sonego is really doing good reaching the QF, but I think Rublev will take him out in 2 sets.

Tsitsipas for me is mentally prepared even if the games is suspended due to rain. So it will be Rublev vs Tsitsipas in the other SF.

[Trofo]

I am playing against Rublev today, first some handicap on Sonego or Sonego to take set and then if he passes and we get solid odds on Tsitsipas to win. If Djoko goes trough odds will be shit for sure and I believe Rublev has actually more chance against him so another handicap against favorite then.

Just waiting for Djoko match to finish so I get my money. They could have already paid out since I have a bet on Tsitsi to take at least one set....Hate those bookie rules even if they saved my tickets a couple of times. If there is a forfeit, all correct score, sets and handicap bets are void no matter if logic dictates otherwise.

Hmm, match is already on-going, Tsitsipas vs Nadal, 4-4 now, Djokovic serving though. I do hope that Tsitsipas beat Djokovic in 2 sets, don't want to extend another as Djokovic is very dangerous in this territory.

I put my beat on Sonego at least winning a set as well, so let's see how it goes.

Djokovic was a little lucky with the rain interruption, yesterday it didn't go so well for him and today he managed to catch up and still won the match. The first surprise of the day, Rubljow lost his match, I wouldn't have thought that. I think that Nadal will clearly win his match soon.

I just came across this news about a famous Ukrainian tennis star, Dajana Jastremska (Current ranking No. 32).
''20-year-old sports millionaire explains his doping cart by having sex - ex-boyfriend knocks out allegation''
She is a very good and talented young tennis player and this doping affair could stop her great tennis career.
Even if that doesn’t happen, this bizarre doping and sex affair is likely to mark her career, which is a shame.

Yeah two times rain interuptted the game that got some time for djokovic to think of a way to comeback in this match and win it
Also playing against sonego so that should be an easy win. But will probobly be tired for the final tommorow

I don't think he will get easy win against Sonego. Sonego is playing good and he is playing on home turf with supporters in attendance. We missed that very much in the past and I believe it will give him enough strength to make it tough for Djokovic. Of course Djoko is a big favorite and I expect him to win but my money is Sonego +6.5, he should cover that easy, maybe even take first set.

[vennali]

It is very commendable how Iga Swiatek defeated 2 contenders for the title the same day! That too within 3-4 hours for the 2nd match, so not much time to recover. She managed to take down Svitolina and Coco Gauff in straight sets so, not much concern for potential injury I hope. Looking very strong of clay, as usual. Could be her 2nd slam in the coming weeks if she carries on to play like this. definitely a player to watch out for.

Well first set an easy win for djokovic but sonego just wont the second set barely and it just went into third set
The crowd is taking sonego to the win. But will be extremly hard for him to win it

That second set was best tennis I have seen in long time. Third set is also great, I keep waiting for Sonego to break down but he is keeping his levels high so far. Too bad whoever wins will probably be very tired tomorrow, otherwise I would back them against clay king Nadal.

Very strong game from Sonego and was able to challenge Djokovic in the second set. Tomorrow another final of the two best players at the moment. But Nadal still has an advantage on the sand and will probably be a close game tomorrow.

Djokovic’s experience and mentality shown in the third set that he is currently the best in the world and that all this new players cannot come to close to him. He might be tired for nadal tommorow but will be an intresting match

[Kemarit]

Damn, that's what I'm afraid of, the suspension really gave Djokovic some time to think and stop Tsitsipas momentum. It really messed up my parlay with that lose.

So now the dream match up, Djokovic vs Nadal in the finals. I will go with Nadal, this is his surface and just in time for him to peak. I will say Nadal by 2:0, hope there's no more rain delay.

[Daniel91]

Bad news again for the once best tennis player in the world:
''Andy Murray will not play at the French Open and will instead focus on preparing for the grass-court season.''
''Murray has been able to play just 11 tour level matches since winning the European Open in October 2019.''

Numerous serious injuries and infection with the Covid virus made it very difficult for him to return to the top of world tennis.
It is now obvious that Murray will focus entirely on Wimbledon and try to repeat a good result in his favorite tournament, where he achieved his greatest successes.
Personally, I'm not very optimistic about his return to the top of world tennis and it seems to me that Muray should start thinking about the end of his tennis career and accept the fact that his career is over.
I think that Federer is close to the end of his career, and neither Nadal nor Djokovic will be able to play at a top level for a long time.
The time has come for new guys and new tennis stars like Zverev, Medvedev, Thiem etc.

Right, Tsitsipas was really on the way to win I would say, but we can't do anything about it. I'm sure Tsitsipas learn another hard lessons here.

So now the dream match up, Djokovic vs Nadal in the finals. I will go with Nadal, this is his surface and just in time for him to peak. I will say Nadal by 2:0, hope there's no more rain delay.

Nadal is the favourite base on the betting odds, and Djokovic could be tired as well because he has to go to Tsitsipas and then comeback to beat Sonego in three sets. So my prediction is that Nadal will also win in 2 sets, 6-4, and then 7-6.

I am going against the popular opinion on this one. I watched Djoko yesterday and he was unbelievably good in some patches of the match. I believe he has more than enough to take at least one set and it pays better than Nadal victory. I even have Djoko to win for small stake, Nadal is not his usual self so far on clay. Should be a good match however it ends.

I'm tailing you on this one mate, ML is very attractive for Djokovic @2.75 so I'm throwing a small bet as well so let's see how it goes.

To be honest, I haven't watch any games because of time difference, but him coming back on the brink of defeat against Tsitsipas? that's unbelievable, I'm also not buying that Djokovic will be tired because of back to back matches. He has been in this situation before.
