Tennis League All Thread

[aoluain]

Well we have been waiting for this kind of semifinals, and now that we have it. Djokovic vs Zverev, hard to predict this one as Zverev is really playing very good, but we all know who Djokovic is. Might be safe for a Over bet in this one, Djokovic odds is 1.41 ML.

Just placed a bet on over 38.5 games @1.85, which should be achievable as chances are quite high that we will see 4 or even 5 sets. I am hesitant to maybe also place a small bet on Zverev to win as I tend to agree with you and Trofo that Zverev is playing really well and he already upsetted Djokovic in the Olympics so it is possible that he can do it again.

Crossing our fingers mate, I have over 39.5 bet. Djokovic lost the first set (again?), but then come roaring back in the next two sets. Now, Zverev needs to win the fourth set in order for us to win our bet because a fifth set is a sure over.

In the ladies, I'm seeing the two youngsters with the likes of Monica Seles and Steffi Graf, and for sure Fernandez and Raducanu will be a household name in tennis for the next 5 years as this two will be rivals.

Well done to Djokovic, hard luck to Zverev. I didnt bet on a winner of this, for me it
was too close to call but I did bet on Zverev to win a set so at least I won some Satoshi's there.

The womens final will hopefully be epic, Raducanu is favourite but again I cannot call
a winner, I'm betting Fernandez will at least winn a set.

As for future stars, I think a lot will be expected of these young ones in the future but as
per my post earlier in this thread, it doesnt always work out that way.

The womens game is so open and has been since Williams' dominance has waned,
look at Halep, Muguruza and lately Osaka while being top players I think a lot more was
expected of them since winning their first slams and I dont mean to take anything
away from them.

Anyway I really do hope Raducanu and Fernandez can go on to battle out other finals, I love
how they play and they have a very similar style.

We are watching a great match, Djokovic lost first set as most of his big games this season but came back and led 2-1. Now we are in fifth set and Nole is leading 3-0. Things are hard for Zverev as if we compare five set games of both players, Djokovic is superior to him. Zverev looks exhausted as well.

Medvedev had problems only in the 2nd set and his opponent missed 2 set points, the 3rd and last set he clearly played home.

Djokovic had to go over 5 exhausting sets against Zverev and only won the 5th set clearly when it was 5:0.

The longer regeneration phase could be an advantage for Medvedev tomorrow.

[cryptofrka]

Medvedev destroying Aliassime proves that he's in great form currently. Aliassime is a really good player, but he simply could not find any way to stop him.

In the other semifinal Đoković showed his mental strength once again - he's simply on another level when it matters.

I will bet heavily on Medvedev in the final if the odds will be decent, I know it sounds silly but I feel it will be a 1-way match. Medvedev is ready for his 1st GS trophy.

Medvedev just dropped one set in the whole tournament if I'm not mistaken, he didn't drop one today against FAA. Just show's how tough or how strong Medvedev right now, so I lost my bet on this match because I thought that it will be over.

But for the Djokovic, it's a win for me at over, Djokovic mentally is really above the rest of the players right now. It was evident in the 5th set as he destroys Zverev totally and didn't give him any chance to make a comeback.

Finals is set, Djokovic vs Medvedev - Have Medvedev winning here in 5 gruelling sets.

Medvedev should count himself lucky because if those set points were won it would have changed the landscape of the game. But anyway his up against the best of the sport and did I mention his the defending champion....come on Djokovic bring it home.

With players like Djokovic I don't see how this would disadvantage him. His had times that he would play a 5 set match and still win the following match six love, come on his being doing this for years and a reason he still remains number one. Come the finals day expect him to win this game.

The opportunity is always there for him, the important thing is that Medvedev has the right formula to beat Djokovic, and doesn't let anything ruin his concentration, this year they have faced twice in the GS final, I chose under 38.5, either I don't think it will last 5 sets with each set under 10 games.

If only FAA just won at least a set against Medvedev, it will be a double celebration for me. I will go on the over for the Medvedev vs Djokovic, this is the finals already so I expect both to be on 100%. And hopefully a thriller of a finals is what we wanted to see.

For the Women's, I'll pick Fernandez, good underdog, and so we have a dawn of new age in front of us, two teenagers for the US Open slams. Goodluck to everyone.

Yes medvedev seem to have an advantage he had easier games compared to djokovic since he losat only one set and as we all seen in the semi final game between djokovic and zverev a long and exausting one plus djokovic dont seem to be in his best shape true he is strong but he can be beaten in my opinion i would go with medvedev at least winning a set.

Congrats to Djokovic for winning against Zverev. Like I said earlier, Djokovic will always have the upper hand in these types of high stake high-pressure games because experience plays a vital role in these cases. Hard luck to Zverev, he played well till the semis. He had a good run though. I am soo looking forward to the women’s finals. Two young talents are in for the finals. It’s gonna be a great show. I might bet for Raducanu but Leylah Fernandez also looks very promising. Both of these two women have the potential to be one of the best one days.

Djokovic said that this is the match of his life,he said that he will play the match like it is his last,there is a lot of at stake for Djokovic maybe even tired a little.But this is once in a lifetime opportunity for him and i think he will destroy Medvedev in straight sets.

If the game does go to the fifth set, Djokovic might win it in my opinion. As he has the experience and also maybe the fitness to outperform Zverev in longer matches. Though Zverev got the better of him in the Olympics, but if the game is to go to the fifth set, Zverev might losing as he is already looking pretty exhausted now.

For Djokovic, tomorrow's match with Medvedev will be the most important in his tennis career.
For more than 50 years, no one in men’s tennis has won 4 GS in the same year.
Djokovic would become only the third tennis player in the men's competition to do so, and he would also surpass Federer and Nadal in the number of GS won and officially become GOAT.
This is very important for Djokovic and that is why the match with Medvedev will be the most important in his career, which is obvious from his statements after the match with Zverev.
Numbers and records have always been important to Djokovic in his desire to get recognition from others that he is the greatest and best tennis player.

Well you were right with your prediction and Djokovic managed to win the fifth set in a very dominant way. That djokovic lost the first set again was not a surprise at all anymore because he does that almost every time, but in this match it did not look like he lost it on purpose like it did in the matches before. Overall it was a great match to watch and i don't think that Zverev has to regret anything as he played really well himself, but Djokovic also reached his best performance level and if he manages to do that than there is no player at the moment that can beat him. So he is also the big favorite in the final against medwedew.

Zverev has been playing really well this tournament and you know, he has already upsetted Djokovic once in the Olympics. So he has that mental boost he needs. But we all know what Djokovic is capable of. He has proved himself over and over again throughout his career. He will demolish anyone coming in his ways and his experience play a huge role in this too. I might bet on Djokovic in this one.

[babygun]

I wouldn't say that. The "young" generation is getting better and better and it would be nice if Medvedev would be able to win his first grand slam against Djokovic. The only bet I would place is again over 37.5 or 38.5 games as chances are quite high again that we will 4 or 5 sets.

There seem to be a lot of mixed opinions here so I am curious to see who will be right  .

[Koal-84]

That's correct but i'm very undecided, that's the game of bis career not many player have the Chance in bis career for the golden slam. This is certainly not an advantage for djokovic but he should be old enough and have enough experience to manage it, maybe it is an additional motivation.

Personally, I don't dare to give an assessment, both are currently on a top level, so it will be an exciting match, as you write probably five sets.

[DIA7]

One match away from writing a new page in tennis history One match away to become the only player in history to win every Grand Slam in one season One match away to become the only player in history to win 21 Grand Slams in his career.
He became the first player to achieve 80 victories in the US Open, the fourth Grand Slam tournament, This remaining match will bring him together with the Russian Medvedev, ranked second in the world,
So will he win it the odds for him to win are @1.4 it's a bit low but since he won against Medvedev last time on the Australian open easily 3-0.

Raducanu vs Fernandez is very close in the first set, most probably it will go on a tie break.

Both of this kids are really playing very hard, difficult to predict as to who is going to win.

For the men's, hopefully Medvedev can match Djokovic, specially in the mental aspects of the game. If he does then he has a good chance to beat Djokovic in his own game.

Raducanu just took the first set with a break in the 10th game and won 6-4 in the first set and looks really good and maybe even Raducanu can win this in straight sets.Im cheering for Djokovic so hard to win this that i want him to destroy Medvedev in tommorows final.
