Great moral boosting win for Stefanos Tsitsipas in this tournament. And I"m sure he gain so much confidence in this tournament that we should look forward in 2020 and see him chasing his first Grand slam trophy.

They really played very well, but Stepanos knows how to play under pressure now specially in his match against Roger Federer. Just the way he played on the second set and then closing Thiem in the third, it was an amazing run.

[Kemarit]

It will be a difficult match to predict, but I'm also biased with Tsitsipas here.

The two in early 2016 (https://twitter.com/atptour/status/1195824318527295488)

Stepanos as hitting partner of Thiem back then, but it just short amount of time, Tsitsipas has improved a lot and now they're fighting for the finals, what a turnaround.

Your boy Tsitsipas has had an amazing tournament so far and I actually think he can go all the way and win this which will be the highlight of he's short career. Federer said that its only a matter of time before we see the young talent up there in the top three rankings and I think that next year we will see a change at the top as the young talent is looking good for the new year.

Hope so mate, you know that I've been on the bandwagon ever since with Stepanos. He also gained respect specially from Federer who he admired. Yes, it's going to be an amazing 2020 that's for sure because this year alone, we've seen them breaking the big 3 and I'm sure Stepanos will one Grand Slam next year. If not him, the other young talents in the tennis circuit today, (Thiem, Medvedev, and Zverev.

Your boy Tsitsipas has won my friend, I hope that you put some money on him to win this tournament as he would of been at good odds to win and would of made up for all the times you bet on him and lost during the year. I was going to put some small money on him but got caught up with a few things and didn't get the chance to put money on him at the start of the tournament which I prefer to do as the odds are most often better for the young talent. This is a huge win in he's career and this will set him up nicely for 2020 where I think he will have a great year, more so on hard courts so look for him to perform well in the Australian Open.

I just put some money on him this finals and I'm glad that he really won this time. Yes, definitely a good and huge win for him because he was already in a brink of a break out run. He just needed to win big and he really went through this tournament like a veteran and beat the best of them. Yeah, hard courts seems to be his specially and Australian Open fits him perfectly well.

@Royse777 - Your boy Thiem also performed above expectations in this tournament. Those two will have a lot of battles ahead. And maybe one of those days he will caught Tsitsipas napping, LOL. But head to head Thiem still has the numbers if I'm not mistaken.

[Strongkored]

And the winner of this fantastic tournament is Stefanos Tsitsipas, i did not give much attention to this kid when the tournament started and i wonder what was the odds for Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the tournament, the match was really competitive, the first set went to a tie breaker and Theim won that and the second set was won by Stefanos Tsitsipas easily and i thought Theim will win the final set but it too went to the tie breaker and Stefanos Tsitsipas won the tournament, hats off to him and hopefully his form continues.

Big congrats for Him, this is His ATP Finals debut and can lift the throphy, a very talented young player. Tennis sport next year will be even more competitive because many young players have begun to show good achievements.

Great moral boosting win for Stefanos Tsitsipas in this tournament. And I"m sure he gain so much confidence in this tournament that we should look forward in 2020 and see him chasing his first Grand slam trophy.

What tennis fans wait for next year can the young players win the Grand Slam title, only on female section the Grand Slam title can be won by young players such Naomi Osaka, Bianca Andreescu etc, on male section dominated by the big 3 and some other experienced players who can't be called young anymore like Murray and Wawrinka.

This tournament win should be the start of him to be placed in No.1.
He is so talented and he can do it in the next years. Now that Federer is near retirement and Nadal coming next, he is going to be on the top along with Djokovic.

Can't complain.
Point here is that we can see some youngsters are showing signs to dominate the future of Tennis. Imagine a tennis world without Federer, Nadal. These guys will have to fill the gap to keep it going.

I lost a bet but I am happy to see that the deserved one won the final.

Congratulations to your boy and you to win the bet.

For Stefanos Tsitsipas to become the world number one then it is a long battle, he played really well in this tournament and he needs to do that consistently to reach those status as the rest of the players who proved year after year are placed in the top and if Stefanos Tsitsipas is able to perform the same kind of performance consistently then we might see that next year but it is too early in my opinion.

Rank no.1 is still far to reach. Maybe it should be best for Stefanos to aim his goals step by step and avoid getting hyped just by beating another player who's not even close to top 3 tennis players.

Can't complain as well. I also can't imagine the tennis world without our players who we grew up watching. I still vividly remember Federer vs Sampras in semis or finals, but I can't remember which tournament it was. Federer was the rising star that time and Sampras is on the way out, I'm guessing its the 01-02, hah, that was a long time ago.

Roger Federer and Pete Sampras only faced each other once in Wimbledon 2001 and it was a really close match and it was a back and forth match where Federer won the first set and Sampras came back in the second set and it was a marathon match which lasted more than three hours  and Federer won the match 3-2.

For all the fans who wants to see the match in youtube here is the link and it was an epic match Roger Federer vs Pete Sampras: Wimbledon fourth round, 2001.

That was an epic match and thank you for sharing the match as i have not seen this match and it was a dream match considering how Federer went on to create an historic career breaking many records and i guess this was his breakout performance as he was really young when he faced Pete Sampras who had a legendary career himself.

Nobody watching & betting on new Davis Cup? Was a bit surprised that I didn't see a single post on this topic. Russia started very nice, they are missing Medvedev but Khacanov and Rublev are still a solid force. They won all 3 matches against my Croatia but I sort of expected it and managed to cash in nicely on those games. Croatia is playing without Cilic and Coric was also sick before tournament so he isn't on 100%. Add to that some internal struggles and firing of the coach one day before we traveled to Spain and the result is more than realistic.

Russia has also won their first match against Spain but Nadal should make that 1:1 (playing at the moment) and then we will have a decider in pairs.

I watch first match between Bautista (Esp) Vs Rublev (Rus) in first set Bautista completely outclass Rublev but in second set he came back very strongly and best opponent very easily in third set Bautista again break very early but then suddenly Rublev came back and won for Russia Right now Nadal won first set by 6 - 3 and now heading for second I am expecting some good resistance from kachanova he is doing good against World no 1 player.

Thanks for the reminder mate, maybe I can take a lot at up and see if I can put a bet.

You are right, Nadal won against Khachanov 6-3, 7-6. While Granoller/Lopez defeated Khachanov/Rublev 6-4, 7-6 to make a 2-1 comeback. Lots of games around the world are being played, and we all know that Davis Cup is a big tournament because every man represents his country, so it is a classic.

I'm

I'm not a big fan of small odds, but today I will make an exception for Davis cup.

Djokovic is always playing strong for Serbia and even @ 1.069 is a good bet on it. Paire is no a weak player at all, but cannot compare to Djokovic at all.

Paire B. (Fra) vs Djokovic N. (Srb) @ 1.069

Still considering the option for 0:2 on Djokovic @ 1.328

Your opinion?

[big_daddy]

@BigBoy89

I will consider the 0:2 @1.328, the @1.069 is also an odd to consider, but both needs to be combined with some other pair, cause I will never put some big money only on that

[AB de Royse777]

Did not follow this Davis cup but just now had a look and seeing it has started from 18th. While I was checking the results I just noticed Andy Murray.



When did he back. I am a big fan of Murray and good to see him again in the court. His ranking is shit now which is 126 but if he is fully fit then he will rank up in no time.

Paire B. (Fra) vs Djokovic N. (Srb) @ 1.069

The odd for Djokovic is really not worth to bet. I may wait for in play offers.

All he needs is to be prudent and don't get angry and nervous when he is behind in the score.
This attribute is gained as he gets older. And after this title I think that he is more experienced to handle this anger.

That odds are way to small. When I get odds that small on favourite I either play handicap on his opponent or skip the game. For this particular match I would rather skip it since Paire is very unpredictable.

You are right, Paire is unpredictable and that's why I was afraid to play it -5.5 games on Djokovic @ 1.87.

Finally played -1.5 Sets @ 1.36. Not a bad for Davis Cup game

I ended skipping that match and played Canada to win @ 2.50. First match went as good as it could with Pospisil beating Milman in straight sets. Currently Shapovalov and De Minaur are on the pitch and it is 1:1 in sets, so let's go Shapovalov win this so I don't have to rely on doubles to win the ticket
