Well played by Medvedev to win that final against Opelka on his favourite hardcourt surface
which brings him to Cincinatti.
He said last night in an interview after the match that he will play the tournament and see
how his body is and asses it for The U.S open.

He is definitely the #1 threat to Djokovic's calendar slam and of course Medvedev has
his own goals to become #1


On the ladies side, what a won by Giorgi to beat Pliskova in two sets. She played agressively
and fearlessly pulling off some super shots.

Yes, it seems that Medvedev is on the roll and is about to hit his prime years now. So he is one of the threat to Djokovic in the U.S. open.

Surprise outcome though in the womens side, Pliskova is the favorite to win the finals by as you have said, Giorgi has nothing to lose, no pressure whatsoever so she played very aggressively and win the title in the ladies side.

I'm just looking at the Cincinnati open match and there are a lot, but some tricky games as well.

[aoluain]

Just looking at the match up's and yes there are a lot of close odds, there is an
option there to bet on Sinner against Delbonis, there is a better odds difference
with Sinner the obvious favourite.

I'm not sure I'm going to bet on the games today, Sinner's performance is unknown
after his early departure from Toronto for example.

Federer needs surgery again, this time I think he will end his career. It seems that he wanted too much in Paris and then in Wimbledon. The 3rd knee operation is scheduled and he has to take a break for months, I think he will end his career this time.

So the overload in Paris was not "just" an act, but real.

Ouch, that's sad news indeed, perhaps the chances of him getting back are slim, and obviously Father Time has come up with him. Maybe next year we will see a farewell tour for Federer and I doubt that he will push for more to win another grand slams because his body is telling him to stop with lots of wear and operation on his body in the last 3 years. Medvedev and Tsitsipas could be the next tennis superstar if they maintain their form. Only Djokovic will be the last man standing of the big 3.

Damn
I really wanted this US Open to be the last battle of the greats. They are all on 20 GS-s, if Đoković takes this one (which looks more and more likely) he will probably manage to keep Nadal at a distance because he's a bit younger and healthier as well. For Fedex this US Open was his last chance and with him getting injured it is safe to say that it's over for him.

Shame, he deserved to fight for no. 21. In my opinion the best tennis player I ever got a chance to watch, even if the titles won't be saying that anymore soon.

I also think that Djokovic will remain from the Big3, Nadal will possibly win Paris again but whether there is more possible? For Federer it's probably definitely over, and I'm not sure if he'll do it again.

I would also put Thiem in the closer circle for the next star next to Medvedev, Tsitsipas possibly Zverev, but with Thiem it is also, so he must first recover from the injury and come back.

Medvedev outplayed in everyway Opelka. Was expecting a lot more from Opelka in the final,but i guess it was still early for his first big final. Medvedev for me will be the biggest thread for Djokovic on US Open. But if Djokovic plays his best he will win the US Open for sure

Also read the news and chances are high, this is the end of the GOAT. Maybe he can still return, but he will ever be able again to reach the same level (look at Murray)...

Medvedev is indeed a thread for Djokovic but don't count Zverev also. He is also in fine form and wants more after winning the Olympic gold.

Maybe next year we will see a farewell tour for Federer and I doubt that he will push for more to win another grand slams because his body is telling him to stop with lots of wear and operation on his body in the last 3 years.

It's incredible really that he still wants to carry on, and isn't content just to retire. He's 40 now, and turned professional in the last century! He's won everything there is to win many times over, and was the best in the world for a long time. To have all that, and still at the age of 40 to have such a huge hunger to carry on playing, when you've done everything that can be done, when it's been your whole life for decades, and when you are no longer quite at your previous peak... and he's still willing to go through the treatment and the long gruelling months of recovery just to attempt to get back to somewhere near a high level again... it's remarkable.

[Karartma1]

It was a great final, a pleasure to watch I liked so much Medvedev tennis! Such a great player.
This way Medvedev brought home the third title of the season after the ones he won in Mallorca and Marseille, the eleventh of his career. The Russian has thus broken through the wall of 10000 points in the ATP ranking: now he has jumped to 10,620, strengthening his second place (the Greek Stefanos Tsitipas is third at 8,350) and approaching the Serbian Novak Djokovic, always in the lead with 12,113 points.

[aoluain]

It does look like Sinner is back in form at Cincinnati by beating Delbonis in 2 sets
even after Delbonis tried to come back and take the second. So Sinner is one
of to watch from here. I will definitely have a bet on him whoever he meets next.

Today we have already seen Andy Murray beat Gasquet in 2 sets, it will be interesting
to see how far he can get

Yeah, it seems that he was able to regroup already and blasted a good player in Delbonis. I know you didn't want to bet on him base on his last performance, but this time it was a different Sinner.

In the ladies though, I was able to do some live betting on the Kerber vs Sakkari, I took Kerber -1.5. I can't pass it on as this is a sure win for here @1.74. She beat Sakkari, 6-2, 6-2.

Thiem is still out from injuries as well, so hopefully he can be 100%. Zverev and Tsitsipas also included but they need to be consistent.

For the Western and Southern Open, a lot of matches that can really go either way, good to see Andy on a winning form. Evans vs Schwartzman was a disaster to me, but was able to recover from McDonald vs Nakashima @1.96 under 27.5.

Sakkari will be very dissapointed with that result after doing quite well and getting
to the last 16 in Montreal.


on the mens side there are some interesting match up's which I might bet on.

Hurkacz v Fokina

Korda v Djere

Berrettini v Ramos-Vinolas

Paire v Shapovalov

Harris v Zverev

[Kemarit]

Hurkacz, Korda, Berrettini already won.

Paire vs Shapovalov is match is ongoing, Harris vs Zverev is tomorrow (my time zone).

I also got Sonego ML at 2.25. Again, there are a lot of interesting matches still coming our way in this tournament.

Tiafoe vs Humbert turning out to be a good match as well, tie break in the second set. Humbert trying to stay alive in the match.

[btc_angela]

I have a bet on Stephens and it was just completed, she lost a 3 setter to Garcia.

I thought that she can take her in two sets, but Garcia has a good ground stroke, and won by 7-6, 6-4, 4-6. Was hoping that the match will go on a tie break so that Sloan has a chance, but she was broken in the 9th game if I'm not mistaken and wasn't able to recover from that.

[aoluain]

The only bet I had on was Berrettini to win, I was half thinking of going with
Shapo, luckily I didnt as he lost to Paire.

Today we see Medvedev enter the competition against McDonald, he should
be able to handle that match but will he adjust to the new competition after his
win in Toronto?

Also Sinner is playing today against Isner, thats a nice test too.

I havent really been looking at the ladies match ups yet.

[Strongkored]

For today's match, I only place two bets on H. Hurkacz vs A. Murray and S. Korda vs S. Tsitsipas matches, Hurkacz and Tsitsipas to win.

I havent really been looking at the ladies match ups yet.

Here are some women's matches that I think will be quite tight:
E. Svitolina vs. A. Kerber
C. Gauff vs. N. Osaka
J. Pegula vs. S. Halep.
Pegula was able to beat Giorgi, who had just won in Montreal, which was quite surprising because in the Montreal semis, Giorgi was able to beat Pegula, but here she defeated from Pegula.

I agree with your mens pick.

For the women's side, there are a lot of unexpected results, like Pegula beating Giorgi, good that I skip this match. And then Garcia beating Stephens as well.

Gauff vs Osaka - I will go with Osaka.

Interesting match to watch is Kerber vs Svitolina - might see some surprises here. Svitolina slight favourite as per odds.
