Tennis League All Thread

Was out of the circulation for the last 24 hours or so, and we know that I supported Nick Kyrgios in this tournament, but damn, he really make me a believer of him right now.

He beat Ymer easy, while Rublev was crushed by Nishioka. Setting up a finals between him and Nishioka. And then winning in 2 straight sets, but I guess the best match is him against Tiafoe? what are your thoughts of his performance? is this for real moving forward?

Its really difficult to know! I would say his performance and appearance in the final
at Wimbledon gave him some extra belief that he can actually win a tournament.

I saw the match against Tiafoe and he did have a mini melt down when the umpire had
to call a halt in his service because one of the ball kids had returned to the wrong position.
Nick serves very quickly so he got really shouty about that. Otherwise he was focussed.

Well done to him, its been 3 years since his last title so there is still a lot to talk about, will
he continue his performance? given he doesnt play a full season, when is his next tournament
and will be be focussed enough then?

I see also that he won the doubles with Jack Sock too!

It is striking that Kyrgios managed to win no less than 2 titles in 1 day. In singles and doubles. You don't hear that often. I also don't believe that it benefits your level to play 2 matches in one day, although it must be said that in a doubles match you run much less and that match also costs you much less energy in the end. But it is still a unique achievement. Often good single players are not great in doubles and vice versa, much more so. You used to have the Woodies from Australia, Elting and Haarhuis, they weren't high flyers in singles either.

An easy win for kyrgios in the final of the washington tournament althought i did expect him to win i didn't think nishioka would make it to the final, he beaten rublev easily 2 0 which led me to believe that the final would be really competitive but that was not the case, either way kyrgios deserve the win for sure.

Both the matches were won on the direct sets. If the match could've been driven towards more sets he could've got tired. Kyrgios have played really well. With these wins he have moved into the top 40. With this win Kyrgios have marked his first ATP win since 2019.

Kyrgios and most of the players have moved on to the tournament in Montreal.
Nick plays Baez today, a match which he should win, hopefully he can carry his
performance forward from the Citi Open.

Also Murray has to tough match today against Fritz, Fritz has has a good year but
I see a chance of Murray winning this one.

[bct_ail]

Congratulations to Kyrgios for his first win of the year. At the tournament in Washington he finally showed more performance for a long time. Otherwise he was more knwon for is temperament. He seems to have really concentrated and put his focus only on playing. But at one wpont we will see the other Kyrgios back on the court.

Montreal started, without Nadal and Djokovic, there will a lot of interesting matches, and several players could reach final stage

for today, I will go with Cilic, Krajinovic and Berrettini, solid picks, not bad odds, Krajinovic @2.2 is a value bet, IMO
Medvedev is top spot, but I do not think he will take the title

Čilić should be an excellent pick for today, his head to head with Ćorić is perfect 7:0. Then there is a fact that Ćorić is still getting back from complicated shoulder injury and just recently started playing a bit like his old self.

Odds are very generous and I am sort of worried that bookies maybe have some information that isn't publicly available.

After the Barthy ... we have another illustrious tennis player announced to retire this year!
I'm talking about Serena Williams! It looks like this US Open will be her last tournament in which she will participate.

seems there was no information hidden from public, easy win for Cilic
nevertheless, Berrettini spoiled the party, easy lose, without fight, from Carreno-Busta, and he could be assigned as "grass-only" player this year

that left me with Krajinovic, started good, but it is interrupted now

Just watching Kyrgios against Baez ATM, if Kyrgios wins this he will face Medvedev
in the next round. Its the first set and Nick was 1-5 up and looked super focussed but
seems to be getting a bit negative now. Its now 4-5

Yea its time for her to retire, she is still super talented and that carries her so far but
there are plenty of players now who can easily beat her.

[Kemarit]

Was able to catch the match between Schwartzman and Davidovich Fokina. And I think the score was like 3-3 or something because I have to hurry up and place my beat on Schwartzman at 2.5 at 1.85.

They are 1-1, Alejandro winning the first set 6-1 and then Diego coming back and win the second 6-3. And in the decider it was Schwartzman's back hand that did the trick for him to win 6-4.

[Trofo]

Was a perfect tennis day for me yesterday, first with Čilić and then my late night ticket passed as well. This one was not expected to pass so it was nice boost to my betting bank:


For today I am lookin to take Carreno Busta, he should win easy against out of form Rune and odds @1.6 seem like free money. I am not looking at late matches yet, that will go on late night ticket.

[aoluain]

Nice one Trofo!

Yea I have Carreno Busta for today against Rune and also De Minaur to beat Dimitrov.

So Kyrgios got the job done yesterday against Baez and today faces #1 seed Medvedev.
Given Kyrgios' high performance ATM and Medvedev's lack of game time compared,
does anyone give Nick a chance? ROLLBIT are being cautious and only offering up to
+2.5 on Kyrgios.

Well this moment was bound to happen and I expected her to retire already a lot earlier than this moment. She has nothing to prove anymore as she won all the grandslams multiple times. She is just one grandslam title short to match the record of Margaret Court; she had multiple chances to match it and even surpass it but failed to do it a couple of times (she lost against Osaka, Halep, Kerber).

Kyrgios just defeated and knocked out Medvedev from Montreal. He was playing so good and continues to dominate. But what is worrying is that he looks really tired and i dont know if he can win this tournament but he knocked out the worlds number one

This was before the match. He is having a great 2022 and it seems like he's living up to the potential this year, finally. He was also generally carrying some sort of injury or another in the past couple of years but it seems like he's finally fully fit + psychologically doing a lot better and seems motivated to have a good season. Unlike his careless attitude previously.

Whoa! Well done Trofo.
That's a nice looking betslip for tennis and a good amount to win on it. Congratulations on that accomplishment.

I had mine for over on games and they ended up all unders.

Was watching the match and was shocked in the final set where he beat him 6-2.
Kyrgios really improved lately in the last few tournaments he has been in and was surprised when the announcer at the end of the match said he wasn't seeded for this one. Thought he was atleast 11th but no.
Also Tommy Paul taking out the #2 in the tournament earlier on doesn't mean being #1 and 2 means much during these ATP 1000 tournaments I imagine.

Kyrgios keeps his game updated regularly. In the past 15 matches, Kyrgios marked 14 wins. In the past Kyrgios have defeated Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon, which created big expectation on him. His highest reach of third round in Canada Masters 1000 event took place in Quebec. Maybe this time it could be a big opportunity for him progress high and reach the final.

@Joca97 it doesn’t matter if he looked tired till he has the motivation to win he’ll get there, and he showed us that he won’t give up and will go all out for a victory. @romero121 I believe that fans will be truly disappointed if he fails to make it to the finals, and after seeing his latest performances I feel that he’ll definitely reach the finals and probably win it too.
