It was a stunning performance by Sinner to win the following 2 sets after losing ^narrowly
the first set.

It seems his change of team recently is starting to bring results, well done to him and his team.

And my second bet over at Atlanta also paid out, De Minaur beat Brooksby 6-3, 6-3
happy enough with that.

[cryptofrka]

I watched both semifinals live in Umag and I have to say that Sinner looked way better and was my favorite before the final.

I'm really bummed that I did not bet on him - Alcaraz lost me all my money against Zeppieri.

That guy played some really good tennis btw - I saw he's not ranked really high but he's only 20 years old and didn't play that much yet.

I will keep track of him going forward - at least for a while.

Didnt expect Sinner to improve this much over the last few months. He beated again Alcaraz last time on Wimbledon and now in Umag so he is really picking up pace. If he continues like this we will see him really fast at the very top,but still you need to win a lot of tournaments to go into top5.

I think he's got the potential to be a future world no. 1. Watched his game against Alcaraz and there was nothing Alcaraz could have done after being up a set and 3 break points early into the 2nd. Sinner just went into beast mode. Effortlessly hitting from both wings. Alcaraz was returning majority of it back with good depth but Sinner barely made any errors when it mattered and just powered through Carlos. The score line tells the story of what happened in the 2nd and 3rd set.

I was expecting result like this but not in this way because after winning first set on tiebreaker there was chance Sinner will fight back, and we will have three sets but as he plays in next two sets it's completely shocking result never allow Alcaraz to have any thing good for him after winning first set. With this win now most chances Sinner will be in limelight for some time because this is big win for him and another lost for Alcaraz he already lost final few days back and now losing second final is surely something problem for him in big matches.

Age factor is also going into Sinner favor, and he can develop as big player for big games in coming years with Federer is out and Djokovic is also not coming in USA open Nadal is also having fitness issues and Medvedev is also not allowed this could be good time for him to go at his best.

Sinner is a really strong player who has been unlucky lately due to a series of injuries (he is now fully recovering).
I have been following him for years and he has always given me emotions at a sporting level even if some defeats were obviously unexpected

Keep in mind that he has signed a sponsorship agreement with Nike worth 150 million over 10 years! It is difficult to invest these sums of money on a player who will not be a top player

He's one of the youngest player to reach the top 10 rank from the Association of Tennis Professionals. As said Nike won't get into such a big deal with a common player. Only after proper analysis about the player and his performance only the company decides whether to sign the deal or not. Being very young will let him perform big and be on the top. All these facts would've been taken in consideration by Nike while signing the deal.

[aoluain]

TBH Sinner has been until recently "kind of" a limited player ^{i use that term very loosely}
but fairly effective at what he was doing but I recon he realised he needed to develop further
which seems to be bearing fruit now.

Like bitbollo we have been following Sinner for a while and would class him as one of our favourites.
For his age he has super talent and a great manner.

Thats a massive deal and indeed Nike see him as a very viable investment!

Andy murray is having a tough time right now he is facing mikael ymer on washington ATP, he lost the first set in a tie break and now he lost his serve and he is beh8nd i thought hewould win today since ymer is not doing good recently but i guess this won't happen, murray seem to be having difficulties when playing on a hard court.

Yea he lost that in the end  The Ymer brothers do have a lot of talent but I guess that
was a match Murray was kind of expected to win.

First game today sees Paire beating Gojowczyk which was probably against the odds.

A lot of big names playing later. I have a couple of bets on for Rublev to beat Draper,
van de Zandschulp to beat Gojo

Good catch van de Zandschulp against Gojo, never see the odds as the game is too late for my timezone. But it was 3 set win by van de Zandschulp.

And then the top seed Rublev destroying Draper. 6-4, 6-2.

Was able to bet on the Khachanov vs Koepfer, I have Karen ML at 1.80 live betting as this is the only match that I was able to catch, it was a come from behind from Karen and it was really very tough game for him.

They were good odds on Khachanov, nice one. Before I went to bed I put another bet
on Kyrgios to beat Giron @ 1.26 which he won 6-3, 6-2. Handily enough, I was thinking
on doing a handicap on him but its just too risky.

For today I'm taking Korda to beat Baez, it could be another tough one for Korda though.

Something interesting today is Rune v Paire! Paire os underdog @3.25 and Rune has
really gone off the boil lately, does anyone have the will or confidence in Paire? nice odds though...

@Ratash Andy was clearly struggling and I don’t think that he’ll be able to repeat his past performances, hence he should seriously consider retiring as he’s achieved a nice legacy already. @aoluain I hope that you didn’t wager on him, because I personally don’t expect him to win any matches these days and I feel that one should consider wagering against him to make some quick bucks.

Well Paire has destroyed by parlay on the last time I bet on him. So for sure I will not go, and instead might be better to put a bet on Rune.

On the Khachanov match, that odds goes up a bit,I think it was like that in the first set when he was down. And then when he losses the first set complete, it could have been like 2.x. It might some nerved as I thought he will loss the 2nd set, but fortunately he had break in that last game, score 7-5.

[Jating]

Alex De Minaur as 11 seed was upset Nishioka of Japan. And Rune destroys Paire in 2 easy sets.

Another upset is Hurcacz, he is the number 2 seed but he was badly beaten by E. Ruusuvuori.

Lots of good matches to watch later, Kyrgios vs Opelka is one, Rublev vs Cressy.

In the ladies side, top seed Pegula was ousted by Gavrilova, 5-7, 4-6.

It is tough going over there in the 35° heat yesterday. We watch the match between
Halep and Kalinskaya. Both players had medical time outs but Halep retired after being
broken in the second set, another top seed exits.

Kyrgios is going very well, I was going to bet on him against Paul but didnt in the end.
I think today he will also be too much against Opelka. I'm going to go with a small bet on him.

It is really amazing what the tennis players achieve in these temperatures. But that does not just apply to tennis but to every sport. Even as a spectator you are sweating all the time and do not really want to move. For the athletes mental fitness is very important in such cases.

Right and this is where it separates the best of them, top 3, + Murray, they can still play under this worst conditions. But others usually falters and can't adjust their style of play in heat.

Wasn't able to check what's going on with the Halep match, but I read that she retired or something. Raducanu though won her match, and maybe those ladies top seed are falling because of the weather as well, same with some of the men's seeded players.

Match between Kyrgios and Opelka will be pretty intresting due to both players have an amazing serve,it might be boring until we see a tie break but it will be nice to see what can happen. Rune also finally wins and breaks his losing streak,he destroyed Paire and this might be the boost he needed.

[bct_ail]

At the ATP tournament in Washington Kyrgios has played against Paul. Kyrgios was very focused and won the match. 19 hours later it is his turn again and he will play against Opelka. I expect Kyrgios to win that match as well. Opelka is not playing so well at the moment.
