Anyone watching indoor tennis?
I am watching ATP sofia indoor hehe A small amount of bet for Mannarino. ATP ranking 46. Hope he makes it.

On which channel is it being telecasted ?
I tried streaming online but didn't find it.

Check bet365 live streaming if you have an account. Mannarino lost the first set but coming back in 2nd set. I hope he holds the 10th game :-)

Mannarino holds his served on the second set and score is 5-5 with Maden serving. I hope Mannarino won the second set to extend to third.

Edit: Maden holds served. 6-5 in his favor.

Man he lost :-(
It was a great fight. He lost in tie break :-(

Maden Y. (Ger) (Q)   2   6   7⁷               
Mannarino A. (Fra)   0   4   6⁴

Not a lucky day for me

I noticed most of these lesser known opens the favored players do not win their matches.
I was watching the Stan Wawrinka match yesterday and he lost. The player who he was playing wasnt a high ranked player either. I think over 60th place of world standings.
Even Denis Istomin lost to Matteo Berrettini earlier today so these smaller tournaments are real up in the air to who will win not corresponding to standings in the world ranking.

This is why I never bet on these tournaments as they are hard to predict even if the top players are playing as they might not even be playing at their best. I really believe that the top players just use these tournaments to keep their fitness up ready for the major tournaments like the Masters and Grand Slams.

Maybe just a case of bad day for Stan, we can't discount that he is not pushing his body. After all, this is just a minor tournament and he doesn't care if he win or not.

So it's really hard to bet on this tournaments, bookies odds are too difficult to hit. I don't what to say this, but we can't really discount the possibility of match fixing, just saying.

Sorry to hear that mate, I thought he had gained the momentum and thought that he can extend it to a third set but Maden was too much for him. Anyways, this is just minor setback you can go back the next day and recover what you have lost today.

Yup, that's correct my friend. Usually high rank players doesn't give their 100% with this kind of tournaments. It will be a bonus is they won, however, they wanted treated this like a tune up match or something.

@TravelMug - As far as match fixing, it was reported here last year: (https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/43894806). So probably, but we really can't say specially involving high rank players.

It happens buddy , don't feel bad . Just forget about it and concentrate on betting for next match , usually tennis involves minimum risk when compared to other sports for betting but well nothing is assured .

I have lost so much in tennis in my entire gambling career. I won decent amount as well. By the way, it was not much on that bet. Thanks for all the good moral support.

Cheers :-)

This is so true. Even in the Montpellier tournament Goffin went down in straight sets which he normally doesnt do in the higher ranking tournaments.
And I wouldnt doubt there is match fixing going on in these smaller opens.

Thank you, I have no doubt that tennis could involved something fishy from behind, but yeah it's really hard to point fingers without proof for top rank players. I have to read the links though and see how deep this match-fixing around the tennis circles.

I'm not betting on small and lesser known tournaments though, and I wouldn't after I read the reports.

What's up my tennis fans? The tennis world become too silent. Are we all waiting for French Open?

That's exactly what I'm waiting for my friend. Its always a long break between Grand Slams once the Australian Open is finished, I believe its the longest wait as the French, Wimbledon and US Grand Slams are close together and in between them we have the Masters tournaments. I guess in a way it gives the top players time to rest up and get ready for all of these GS.

Of course tennis fans wanted to see any Grand Slams and I'm sure everyone is waiting for the next 3 in the coming months. But it doesn't mean they are not watching any small tournaments. Ok to spice up things: Anna Kournikova was the talk of social media after making a list of tennis’ most important figures

This is what I remember about her hehe

People were more interested to see her moves then her tennis. I am not ignoring the fact that she gave WT a brand name.

[Jating]

^^ Hehehe.

I didn't read the article but I don't know how Anna K. influence tennis in a positive way? Well she burst into the scene and everybody loves her because she has the talent. But maybe when she realise that she can make more money without exerting any effort by just go modelling, then her talents started to went from good to worst and thats it. We never heard anything from her ever since.

I read the article a clever way to make the article go viral using controversy, it’s a common strategy used these days. I had even forgotten her name till I read the article, while she definitely didn’t influence the sport she has won a doubles tournament. I won’t condem her for her choice, if I remember right in those days she was getting quiet a lot of attention so getting into modeling was a logical choice.

As far as I can remember, she really did good on doubles tournament, but singles was horrible for her as she has to keep with other ladies during his prime. So I guess she just decided to stick to her second choice, which is modelling or appearing in music videos with Enrique Iglesias (that I can remember) lol.

Apparently, I was looking to know who is her spouse but failed to find any except Iglesias as her partner. Is she still single? hehe

Edit-
Ok I missed,

How can you have a 16-year relationship in Hollywood and keep it under the radar? It's possible, just ask Enrique Iglesiasand Anna Kournikova—They're pros. They're so great, they even hid an entire pregnancy and birth of twins. Today, E! News confirms that the couple welcomed twins over the weekend, a boy and a girl.

[Kemarit]

So I would assume you guys agree that Anna Kournikova should be on the list of influential and most important figures in tennis?

I think in terms of influence yes I would have to agree. She really open the doors and changes how the public "view" womens tennis in particular. Previously, if you're not into tennis, chances are your not going to be interested how good a player is. But when she arrives with his beauty, tennis went up a notch on tv ratings and it open doors for other women to follow but with no success, until Maria Sharapova arrived and now we have seen new breed of beauty and power.
