Djokovic has of course had a strange year because he refused to be vaccinated. Was an extremely bad example for the rest of the world. What really annoyed me is that he thought he could still participate in everything. I remember the Australian Prime Minister personally expelling him from the country, and rightly so. He has not made himself popular with tennis fans, except from his own country. Players like Djokovic are of course so good that they need little preparation. Maybe he just has a good training schedule with high-level opponents.

Djokovic has a very difficult character and he is very stubborn.
He has some personal principles, he pays close attention to his diet and what he brings to his body, and because of those principles he doesn't want to be vaccinated.
However, what about when the right to personal choice and personal freedom comes into conflict with public safety and public protection?
If the right to personal choice and freedom were more important than public safety and protection of the population, there would be chaos and therefore states have the right to ask visitors to vaccinate.
Visitors can agree to such decisions, get vaccinated and come, or refuse vaccination and accept the decision that they can't enter the country.
However, Djokovic tried to put pressure on the government of a sovereign state to change the rules, just because he wanted to play and believed he is known enough in the world to be able to change the rules that apply to all other ordinary people. That was wrong.
I already read somewhere that Djokovic will most likely not be able to perform at the last GS season in America, because America doesn't allow unvaccinated foreigners to enter the country, much like Australia.
Is a new court drama waiting for us? 
However, Russian and Belarusian tennis players will be able to perform if they play under the neutral flag.

This is fair enough. It is up to the individual whether they want to get vaccinated or not, it is totally within their control. But an individual cannot control where they are born.
It's Djokovic's personal choice not to get vaccinated.
Whereas Medvedev etc have no control over the fact they were born in Russia.

Medvedev will face hurkacz in halle ATP final to be honest i did not expect medvedev to get to the final in a grass court and without losing a single set which is impressive but he faced less tough opponents than hurkacz and to be honest the odds are tempting a 3 odd for hurkacz to win i think its a good chance to make some money.

[leea-1334]

So,,, I did not place a single tennis bet for months, maybe even I did not place one this year IIRC and yesterday I started by doing it on Nick Kyrgios, on a freebet multi that I won from Sportsbet promo. Guess what happened next?  



Was he just so bad or did his attitude once more cause him to lose? What a shitty way to start weekend  

[buwaytress]

Tough luck leea, tennis on accas, been there done that cried the same tears heh.

@Trofo yeah the Djoko case was always weird, but the world's so weird now with everyone trying to make some kind of reputation for themself. Think that one was a cut-and-dried "win votes" move though. Aussies didn't want him in and they saw it as a chance to win popularity.

If you need one risky game for today, I would go for Hurkacz to win 2:0, should be good odds. I have him to cover handicap and as ML @3.0. Never liked Medvedev much and it seems to me he is quite vulnerable and easy to loose nerves at this time of season.

In the other final I feel like Berrettini should have it done in 2 tight sets, so I rather took him as 2:0 then handicap.

Nice one, just took it before match. I think this one seems better value too and to ensure one of us brings home some prize from the bookie, I went for correct score 2:1 to Hurkacz 6.06. was 5/1 for 2:0 so either one looks nifty.

Hurkacz started well on serves, now's just got an ace, but time for me to go watch some other non-sports. Heh

That's all my betting for today, I'm being a good boi saving my BTC for July!

Hey man, piece of advice, if you are taking tips from somebody take them as they are I am usually putting a lot of thought in my picks when choosing game handicaps and set handicaps. Then I am mixing them cause of turf difference and player serves. Medvedev played as bad as usual on grass this season and it is just a question of his opponent being good enough to use all those gifts.

Berrettini also continued with his good performances and I am considering him as top favorite for Wimbledon this year.

[CLS63]

Congratulations Trofo. It seems to be a really good betslip. By the way, my decision about my surprise tennis player in Wimbledon is going to be Hurkacz this year. As far as I have followed so far, he is going to be in a very good form when he comes to London.

Indeed, the reason I have been taking your tips in tennis on ocassion is your proven rate of hits -- the way I deviate is something of a bad habit. Need to find a way to include them instead of my own picks when doing the famous 5-leg acca from SB. Well done on the straight set win too! Didn't watch it after the first 5 minutes or so, but well worth the bet, and 5/1 is a sweet spot to hit in any case. Let's see if I remember for a final/last 4 outright for Berrettini!

Was he just so bad or did his attitude once more cause him to lose? What a shitty way to start weekend 

I watched part of the match, and other games he played... and I am avoiding to bet on him (even if he is a strong layer with "strong" tennis and strong first serve).
Against Hurcacz was able to win the first set "easy"... break point at end of the set and easy 6-4. But Probably he is not in the best physical and mental form (you can see just counting smashed rackets...).

Berrettini has the potential to place himself on top of Wimbledon, I will not surprise if he can reach another final even this year.

[MonsterV]

A funny story at the match of the Italian against the Russian. I heard that not Medvedev, but the very coach of him angrily had left the court. You never hear things like that anymore, do you? I think Beretini should now be among the contenders to win Wimbledon. And after all, he is also the global number 10 in the world. Medvedev is still the favorite with Djokovic, although no one knows where Djokovic is currently preparing for Wimbledon. And of course there will be a lot of rain again at Wimbledon. We also have to keep an eye on van Rijthoven.

[Trofo]

Wimbledon qualifications starting out today, I tried to find some value by checking players prowess on grass. Managed to go through first half of the matches before getting headache 

Here are some guys that should do the job easy, ML should be sure thing, but I am taking them all to win 2:0 for better odds:
Rodionov
Kukushkin
Simon
Jason Jung

I guess strong is something that grass just totally defeats, and for some players, they prefer to work on their strengths rather than improve weaknesses, maybe he is one of those types,,, thinks he can do just enough and hope the opponent has the same strengths, then defeats them on power alone. Strong first serve but it was his opponent with more points on first serve it seems now I read the reports.

Another day, another chance

I must admit that when I read your comment yesterday, I thought that you probably like casino games I was very convinced that Medvedev would be able to handle Hurkacz. However, it turned out exactly what you predicted! Congratulations on a good bet and a nice win if you finally bet on Hurkacz!

this seems to be a realistic bet, Berrettini is playing really good on grass so far
picks from Trofo, at least for tennis, are really worth listening

I am betting less than few years ago, so not using most of those, but would try to follow, if betting more, although betting on beer money suits me great at the moment, getting more fun when following sports, and losing small money

[cryptofrka]

I agree with Kukushkin and Simon, I will be taking these today. I usually don't bet on qualifiers but these look good enough to toss a few mBTC and hope for the best.

Berrettini is looking good, so does Hurkacz. Aliassime and Čilić are my dark horses though.
Ruud, Tsitsipas and Alcaraz are the top seeded players I'll be looking to bet against.

Yeah, haven't followed this tournament but I read that Medvedev did confront his coach Gilles Cervara and yelled on him, prompting the later to storm out of the stadium.

But not taking anything from Hurkacz, sending message about the incoming Wimbledon that he will be one of those players that we will have to look at.

I checked up on Trofo's tips and Simon is behind, 1 set down and broken in the second....
I have to figure quick whether to back him now @ 5.7....

Kukushkin won as Trofo predicted, good stuff!

Yea Berrettini is looking really good, he is in form at the crucial time coming into Wimbledon,
timing is important and he seems to have it right.

[Trofo]

I wouldn't. Something is wrong with Simon, can't watch the match but you simply don't lose that many serves on grass without reason.

Other 2 picks passed easy and Jung also looks good at the moment. There is always one to spoil the party. Single bets will bring me some profit but that multi bet would be the one for big gains.

...and I didnt, way too dodgy looking.

I have Jung who is looking strong enough.

No doubt there is gains to be made in the qualifiers it just takes some time to research,
time I dont have.

Jason Jung

Very, very rare Monday live betting for me, and I looked at that ^ a bit late but suppose I dodged the Simon bullet.

Took Jung 2:0 live, this time following your pick exact and had pretty good odds @1.22 But I just had to add in de Jong and Martener MLs for a little bit over 2/1. Just wanted to see if I could take this and have a little something to play for on Brasil footie later.
