Tennis League All Thread

I don't think that Nick Kyrgios can win this year's wimbledon. I mean that guy has problems with his inner demons. So he can probably go in the round 4 and then collapse in big stage. Raonic could be a good bet, Stefanos  Tsitsipas is a clay court player.

I forgot about Raonic in my previous post, he can be dangerous on grass for sure but I am not seeing him as a winner. Depending on opponents he could go very far.

I don't agree about Kyrgios, he sort of has motivation problems against lesser opponents. If he gets to round 4 he will just start to be dangerous. Most of his best matches were when he played against top players.

I agree with your comment on Kyrgios, if he really wants to, than he can be very serious opponent for Federer and Djokovic. He will probably still fall short, but you never know.
I don't Thiem getting very far in Wimbledon, he is a great player, but he plays best on clay.

There have been some good suggestions and I agree with most, I think Raonic does have a chance at winning however the problem is that when he gets to the final stages of a Grand Slam he always lets him self down even when he is in the match. Anderson is another player that has a chance but again like Raonic he just doesn't seem to have the mentality to win. Nick Kyrgios does have what it takes to win a Grand Slam but he first needs to get his mentality right which we have been saying on here for over a year now. This is why we always come back to the big three Federer, Nadal and Djokovic to win every Grand Slam because the up and coming players just don't have what it takes right now to beat them in big matches. Wimbledon starts in less then 24 hours so I might watch the first round to see how the players go before placing a bet.

Wimbledon is set to start now so it will a great time to watch some tennis on grass.
Wonder if Andy Murray will make an appearance in his native Britan so he can retire during this tournament as he mentioned he would earlier in the year.

[vella85]

Major upsets on the first day in the Men's draw with Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas out, this is why I didn't want to bet before the tournament started so I can get an idea on who looks good. I think I made a good call not putting money on Tsitsipas before the tournament as he was one I was loking to bet on for some value but now he is out. That isn't all, Osaka in the Women's draw is also out. Its the first time a world number 2 has been knocked out in the first round since Martina Hingis in 2001. Not only that Venus Williams is also out beaten by 15 year old Cori Gauff, it was a crazy first day that's for sure.

I am not quite fan of tennis league games though I am playing tennis during my Junior years. However, I want this betting sports game to enter also. I just want to be familiar with the players of tennis. Because I don't know who are players of this league. Well, I think I am gonna speculate first before I bet soon.

[Kemarit]

I will be looking for some value in this years Wimbledon as Federer and Djokovic are at short odds in my opinion, yes both play best on grass but I'm looking for a player on the rise that may challenge them and maybe even beat them. I was looking at Stefanos Tsitsipas but just not sure how he will go on grass, he looks to be a great hard court player but on grass he does look suspect. I really like Thiem but he struggles on grass, what do you guys think? who do you like to win Wimbledon besides Federer, Nadal and Djokovic?

Yes, the odds are really short for the two best grass court player we have right now. Stefanos? You know his he one of my favorites, so I will definitely look on him, yes he is seriously a good clay player, but who knows, maybe he can pull some magic in the grass and learn to love it.

Milos Raonic might be good as he reached last year's QF, if I'm not mistaken. Cilic and Nadal is also good but I don't know if they can go against the tennis levels of Djokovic and Federer in this tournament.

Edit: Just as I suspected, Stefanos lost already, too bad, it was a hard fought match though so I give him the props.  . Probably a sign that there will be more upsets in the mens and ladies now.

Auger Aliassime might be a good long shot.

[slocker]

Some news before start to see Djokovic and Ivanisevic working together. Two big names, I recall when Ivanisevic once got wild card invitations and take the Wimbledon title that year.

[rosezionjohn]

Not only that Venus Williams is also out beaten by 15 year old Cori Gauff, it was a crazy first day that's for sure.

Considering Venus' age, I would not really call this an upset. She no longer has the legs to cover the fast surface of Wimbledon. It's nice to see new bloods taking out these veterans.

Well the upsets keep coming in the Men's draw with Thiem losing in four sets after winning the first set to Sam Querrey. At least two of the big names made it through the first round Nadal and Federer both won their matches however Federer did drop the first set in his match but then went on to win the match easily. Kyrgios is also through after a tough five set match against fellow country man Thompson. He must now face Nadal in the second round, can Kyrgios do what he did a few years ago and knock Nadal out of Wimbledon? I must say that Kyrgios does seem to play well against Nadal and has beaten him a few times before so he is in with a big chance to cause an upset.

Surprised to see Federer needs a extra set to dispose Harris. Yes, it will be interesting to see Nadal vs Kyrgios, I don't know but it seems that Nadal hate Nick that his game is affected.  . I mean the antics that Nick is pulling has someone has a mental impact on Nadal so let's see.

I also saw one five setter already, Fognini vs Tiafoe, It took a lot from Fognini though so let's see what his going to do in the second round.

Yes my friend, I don't think Nadal likes Kyrgios as he said earlier in the year that Kyrgios doesn't have respect to the player he is facing and the crowd so it will be an interesting match. In Kyrgios match he looked like he was just out there to have fun and not for the tennis so lets see which Kyrgios turns up against Nadal. Djokovic and Anderson are through to the next round, Anderson is the one I'm thinking that could beat one of the big three and even go on to win it. I'm still yet to bet on a player because of the upsets that we are seeing.

Hahaha, a lot of surprises from Nick that's for sure. But I'm expecting him to be serious in this match though, after all it is Nadal and a good upset will be the talk of the tennis world or at least in this tournament. Maybe he can play mind games with Nadal because he knows that Rafa is easily affecting by it.

Federer match and Nick vs Rafa will be like 7-9 hours from now my local time so I guess I can watch some hilights of the game before going to bed. You able to put a bet though in this tournament?

Just chilling in front of a TV and watching Murray playing doubles. I was never a big fan of him but I was really glad seeing him play again on green grass. He looks and moves quite well and hopefully we will see him playing singles soon.

He is playing in pair with Herbert and they could go far in Wimbledon, after all, Herbert is one of the best double players and Murray is a class no matter what. They will also have a strong backing from audience.

And him and Herbert got their win  .  Looks like he is really gaining some momentum now a few more doubles tournaments and I'm sure he will enter at least one single tournament before the end of the year.

It was Nadal we went victorious against Krygios, it was a tough 4 setter. There was a lot of drama off-court between the two. Krygios appeared to intentionally hit Rafa in the third If I'm not mistaken. Although at the end of the match, they shake hands and appear to be cordial.

Yes it was an interesting match between Nadal and Krygios, we can clearly see that Nadal doesn't like Krygios. Yeah it did look like Krygios intentionally wanted to hit Nadal and again Krygios did an under arm serve which got a smile out of Nadal, we knew it was coming in the match as he seems to like doing these under arm serves.

I don't know why sometimes people complain about him serving under arm. It is not forbidden by the rules so why the hell he wouldn't use it? I heard comments that it is disrespectful. Why would that shot be disrespectful and short ball wouldn't (or lob shot in football)? It is just another way to try to gain advantage.

As a fan? I don't think it's illegal, but probably as a tennis player, you will feel somewhat disrespected. But they can't complain because it's perfectly legal. Just like in any other sports, like football anything that you can take advantage of to win then you can do it, and it is very effective for Nick.

Maybe it was because it was Nick, we all know that he is the bad boy of tennis that's why there is a lot of criticism. But let's say if Roger did it, I think we won't hear any uproar about it.

Saw this moment, bu this is not again any rule. However he complain whole match to referee on Nadal time. So far Kyrgios or any other player should learn that Nadal have ritual for every point.
He always have 3 bottle of water or something else, always takes 2 towels to both sides, he always have some strange ritual with serves, but shoulders nose ears.

Serving under arm still legit in tour, but since many players are not using this kind of serving it looks like an act disrespectful, but the rolling still prevail that  it is by the role,it is quite just an awkward style but sometimes its a part of the games.
