But it seems Medvedev is weak on clay right now against Tsitsipas he is without any chance so far.

Medvedev played a great 2nd set and had some really good points. He even had a couple of match points towards the later part of the set and just when he showed enough to make us think he will have an edge in tie break - Tsitsipas played a perfect one and clinched 2nd set as well. Managed to place a nice live bet on under 44.5 games when Medvedev had a break point. Should be a secure thing if don't see an epic comeback.

yea its looking ominous for Medvedev ATM, opportunities are running out, he needs to
break Tsitsipas and hold serve to take the 3rd set... ATM he is 1 break point from 5.
At times looking at Tsitsipas he looks absolutely wrecked but he has all the answers
to what Medvedev is putting his way.

Medvedev was a break up in the third set in the second set had set points. Missed it all and lost to tsitsipas so another big name has been knocked out of the tournament. Lets see if we can get even bigger suprises tommorow or will we see a classic between djokovic and nadal

But another big name also knock out Medvedev, as others have said, he is not expecting to play high level in this surface and yet he reach this far.

Tsitsipas is really playing good, he will be facing his young rival in Zverev, maybe this will extend to 5 sets game now. I will still go with Tsitsipas here to reach the finals against either Nadal or Djokovic.

Nice victory of Tsitsipas but I expected that he would win with more margin, but still he managed to do it in 3 sets.
Waiting on the odds of Tsitsipas to win against Zverev, but here again a handicap on Zverev could be interesting.

[aoluain]

That was impressive by Tsitsipas, I thought he would be tested more, I obviously
thought he would be beaten but he came up with goods to take the win.

Against Zverev next will be another level I'm really not going to bet on this one,
Zverev is also playing well.

[famososMuertos]

.../quote¨{/....:

Well, I win with the maximum margin 3 set !!
But I understand you are talking about the dominance of the game in the result of each of their matches.

Now the last point as Medvedev played it that has no loss, certainly something childish, but it does not stop being humorous.

Surprise? Why do you say it is a surprise that Tsitsipas won? Look at his statistics on clay for this season. This was definitely expected. The only thing that really surprised me was how weak Medvedev played. It looked like girl tennis from his side except for his brilliant stop balls. When he hit the ball the game became slower literally every single time while Tsitsipas constantly shot one bullet after another.

That was disappointing from Medvedev but as is already known clay is absolutely not his thing. He could have made it to world rank 1, I didn't know that before the game. f he made it to the final and Djokovic didn't, he would have been world rank 1.

Tsitsipas vs Zverev @1.83 -2.5 and probably a parlay with Nadal -8.5 against Schwartzman will be a interesting combination. I think both matches could end in just 3 sets. Surprised to see Schwartzman name here, maybe he has a easy road that's why he reaches this far.

I haven't check the odds on Tsitsipas vs Medvedev, did he cover it?

[Cnut237]

On the women's side, I suppose Swiatek must be the overwhelming favourite now that most of the other contenders have fallen away. Not sure if anyone left in the draw can stop her. Coco Gauff maybe has an outside chance?

Well, Swiatek lost. And Gauff lost.
If anyone wants to win a lot of money on the French Open, just take a look at what I predict, and then bet on the exact opposite




Nadal to win the men's.

Really suprised that Sakkari was able to beat Swiatek. Swiatek is currently in the best form on the tour and just lost 2:0 this wasnt expected from her as she was predicted for the favorite to win the french open.

Hoping for mens semi final djokovic vs nadal

[Trofo]

Well, Swiatek lost. And Gauff lost.

I am always gunning for underdogs on best of 5 matches. That helps me a lot with men's side of the draw since odds are totally slanted to the favorites side. You can find 9.5 and even 10.5 handicaps against Djoko and Nadal for every single match, no matter the opponent. Same goes for some other top players as well. Currently have Schwartzman +9.5 @1.8 and Beretini to take at least one set @1.8. Both as single and as double.

My bets on women's side of the draw usually go with players in form. Got hurt bad with Gauff loss today, she just lost her cool after loosing first set in which she was in front couple of times and even had set points. Did not bet on or watch Swiatek since odds were bad but I expected easy win as well.

[Jating]

@Trofo - I think you got the +9.5 won on Schwartzman, and even if you bet for Nadal -8.5, it was still covered. Schwartzman also won a set. I haven't pull the trigger on Djokovic vs Berrettini, but I might bet for Matteo to win at least 1 set as well.

I check on the ladies side, all names are not familiar to me on the semi-final, obviously, we will crown a new French Open champion again this year. We all know how unpredictable the ladies side is, so I'm not surprised although I thought that in the beginning, Swiatek can at least defend her crown.

I have an opposite style of betting, I bet on favourites mostly, with odds above 1.10.

I like everyone was expecting for Gauff ans Swiatek to win their matches, Sakkari is actually
having a good tournament.


Just watching Djokovic v Berrettini, very interesting, the best returner of serve v one of
the top servers. Looking at it now I think Berrettini could come very very close to winning
this.....but it is early still.

Djokovic won this match even after he o most gifted berretini that 3rd set.But came back strong in 4th and showed in how good form he is currently.Awesome play from Djokovic,Berretini was serving really good the entire match,he will be on grass really hard to beat if he continues to serve like this.

[aoluain]

Ah Berrettini had way too many unforced errors and missed too many clear points.
Djokovic was frustrated throughout the match, that was evident with his relief after
winning in the 4th set.

Im dissapointed really, I thought the young guns could make an upset to the top 3
in a slam, we still have the young guns v the establishment though in the final.

Nadal to win the men's.

I mentioned in an earlier comment the fact that there is a lot of surprise in the women's competition and that it is impossible to predict anything, unlike the men's competition where everything is predictable.
After the great domination of Serena ended, a new player who would dominate women's tennis has not yet appeared.
I thought Osaka might be the new Serena but it seems she is not yet psychologically ready for such pressure.
If nothing else, at least in women's tennis it's not boring and we have a new unexpected winner in every tournament

I ve gone with shwarzman to win a set he played really well in this tournament but nadal is really strong in clay and he is likely to win the title on the womens side it was a surprise for me but the performance of sakkari was great and i think she will win this year title.

[cryptofrka]

So, a final before a final tomorrow or is anyone giving any chances to Zverev or Tsitsipas? Both were really dominant so far - Tsitsipas only losing 1 set to Isner and Zverev winning all sets after bizarrelly going 2-0 down in the 1st round against qualifier Otte.

Nadal lost only 1 set so far as well, against Schwartzmann, while Đoković struggled the most of the 4 semifinalists.

I'm rooting for a Nadal - Tsitsipas final, although I feel Zverev has more chance against Rafa.

Yes i agree with you i think we will see a final between tsitsipas and nadal since they both are in a big form and they proved it against though opponents djokovic need to be 100% in order to win if he play poorely like he did against musseti and berretini he can lose 3 0.

[DIA7]

Now with Nadal at the semi-finals, after he knocked out Argentine Diego Schwartzman, by 3 sets to one, while Novak overcame the obstacle of Italian Matthew Bertini with the same result.
Tomorrow's match is going to be number 58 that brings the two players against each other and that's considered as a record, and each of them hopes to reach the final, to take another step closer to the Swiss Roger Federer's number, the most players to reach the final in the Grand Slam tournaments (31 times). Nadal and Djokovic are behind Federer, on this list, 28 times.
Nadal is always going to be the favourite for the win tomorrow and the tournament all along winning it makes him getting 14titles in the French open and 21 Grand Slam wins that going to make him get past Federer in that record.
