After all those surprises yesterday I am sort of expecting a day when favorites get the win. Can't have surprises every single day, right? I took Sinner and Brooksby to win in straight sets for small stake. Don't have much faith in their performance but they have to step up and use this situation when all seeded players are out. It doesn't get easier than this to win ATP 500 title.

Yes quite a surprise yesterday but i managed to get a win on haris because after the performance from nadal in the first game against sock i ve seen that something is not right with him and today i hope we dont have surprises i made a bet on sinner to win 2 0 i was a little bit afraid of the other game so i did not bet on it.

Break even for me on the last game, lost on the Opelka vs Millman but just one point but bounce back on the Sinner vs Korda.

I guess Nadal injury is not fully healed or he just having a bad night. So yeah, something is wrong with him, I don't want to say that age is catching up, but probably his body is not responding as it used to be with the gruelling matches that's why his having a difficult time in his last 2 games.

I think both things happen to Nadal last night against Harris. He probobly was injured or wasnt feeling well. Plus made so much unforced errors the entire much and gifted the win to Harris. Even against a bad Nadal you need to be on your top level and Harris dominated most of the match

Yes, I checked his social media and he admitted that he still feel some pain on his foot.

Harris and Nishikori is playing right now, second set already, Kei won the first set, but Harris is fighting back in the second and need to tie the score 6-6 to force a tie break and keep him in the match.

A little bit tricky on Sinner vs Brooksby in the semis, both are playing very good in this tournament. I haven't made up my mind on who and what to bet on this match for tomorrow.

I guess Harris didnt have enough strenght against Nishikori. Nishikori won in straight sets easily against Harris and will play McDonald in the semi finals. In this tournament Nishikori’s path to the title is straight opet. We can see him win this tournament easily

ATP Washington semifinals will face:
J. Sinner vs J Broosky
K. Nishikori vs. M. McDonald
My prediction is that Sinner and Nishikori who will advance to the final bet on these two players to win the semifinal match.
1.54 for K. Nishikori and 1.69 for J. Sinner.

After this tournament there will be two ATP Master 1000s, and Federer has confirmed that he will not be participating in either tournament source

This is how I see the semi finals playing out and this is how I'm going to bet too.

Sinner is one of my favourite players and I like Kai Nishikori too, he is such a
fighter and is always positive, I would be happy for either to win the final, not sure
which way I'll bet though. Lets see how they get on today!

Federer

He probably wasnt ready to get back playing this year and picked up an injury.

I like the Sinner vs Brooksby, both still in there teens', Sinner at 19 and Brooksby 20 years old.

So we are like witnessing a Jr, ATP here, and I'm also leaning towards Sinner here, has the better experience and has been tested many times before.

Nishikori though seems to be have sort of second wind after the Olympics before he is performing very well and this is his first final appearance after so many years.

I agree partially with this, Nishikori should have an easy way to the final but I am thinking Sinner is ready to take this one home. Should be a close match in the final though so I am looking at betting over games if we get Nishikori - Sinner final. Today I will back the favorites since I expect them to win without much problems. Worked for me yesterday, we shall see about today.

[Ratash]

In cluj-napoca wta mayar sherif made it to the finals with a fourth win without droping a set what a performance that was and she eliminated the favourite cornet with a 2 0 win in the first round and now she will face the winner from the game between krunic vs petkovic and i think that she will win this tournament.

McDonald is leading with a break in the first set right now and i think he has what it takes to beat Nishikori, the odds are @1.9 for McDonald to win, and i think it's still pretty high, and don't forget he's playing in the US, his home country.

Could or should be the case as you describe it, but Nishikori today isn't the Nishikori from five years ago. For quite a while he played very stable tennis and was a candidate for semifinals and finals quite frequently, but those times are over it feels. He has a bad day these days more often than not. Plays the first couple of rounds perfect tennis, then he has a bad day and loses against an average player.

It's because of the wear and tear in his body, and then we have the new generation of tennis players coming up as well, that's why he will always hits a snagged after round 16 and then lost.

Sinner already book his finals winning against Brooksby.

Nishikori vs McDonald ongoing, 1-1 final set McDonald leading but Nishikori and hopefully he will hold his serve to make the score 3-3.

[aoluain]

^^
And what a game that was, the first set especially, top drawer Tennis from both
players but I could tell before we got the stats from that first set that Sinner was
making more winners which helped him in the tie break.

Second set Brooksby in the second game got broken and just couldnt stay with Jannik's
power and precision.


I feel sorry for Nishikori, he said after the win from Harris that he was feeling good
and happy with how he was performing.

[Strongkored]

What do you think about this final?, If McDonal wins then this will be his first title but the opponent he faces is a good player seen at the ranking and achievements are better than him that's why his opponent Jannik Sinner more favourite seen from odds 1.29 and for him 3.85.

I am thinking Sinner got this easy. I watched him yesterday and he played really well. Did not watch Nishikori and McDonald but I saw there were breaks like it was WTA on clay and if McDonald is not able to hold his serve he will have no chances tonight. My bet goes on Sinner for sure, maybe even to take it in straight sets or -3.5 handicap.

Same here, I think Sinner will win this finals. McDonald is good but he almost lost to Kei today as it is a very close match. While Sinner won in 2 sets and like he is breezing in the game specially in the 2nd.

-3.5 for Sinner is @1.74, not bad odds, or under 21.5 @1.82, this could be a 2 setter as well for Sinner.

[aoluain]

Yup Sinner for me also. I have my bet on!
His game will be too strong for McDonald to deal with.

He was just about to win from Kei and indeed if he cannot hold serve he is in trouble.
On the other hand Sinner was able to save 4 set points for Brooksby in the first set,
its hard to see Jannik getting broken.

I also have Sinner to win in the finals, but I'm looking to like 3 sets win for him, don't want a boring finals (except maybe when Djokovic is playing).

I haven't seen the game with Kei. But with Sinner, I'm surprised though about the Brooksby vs Sinner match. It seems that Sinner was really on fire and didn't give Brooksby a chance to recover.

Sure the wear and tear is what's waiting for all of us. I think that is one of the most interesting and pressing questions in tennis: when will Novak Djokovic get out of shape so much that he will first lose his number one position and then degrade to not being a favorite for GS titles anymore? Federer did very well even at a high age, Nadal as well, and Djokovic most likely too.

[Rabi3]

Yup Sinner for me also. I have my bet on!

i agree that Sinner will win the title, but the odds for him to win the match is really low, and he already broke McDonald's serve in the first set, 2-0 for sinner was a good pick before the match but now it's done @1.3 which is very low, i can maybe place a bet if McDonald breaks sinner's serve, we'll see.

[Kemarit]

@mv1986 - Djokovic has worst injuries in 2019 if I'm not mistaken, but he was able to make a comeback in a span of 2 years. But he can get injured plus old age might do it for him. Federer is already there, Nadal is going on that route as well. However, Djokovic is the younger of the three so maybe he can still play 2-3 years of good tennis until he succumb to the wear and tear.

@Rabi3 - Sinner already won in 3 sets, I have over 21.5 as my bet so its a W. But it's a very close match, it could go either way, but Sinner really played very well and didn't allow McDonald to recover.
