The vienna atp was as promised a competitive one shapovalov managed to win the first set against medvedev but couldn't finish him off on the second, medvedev corrected the mistakes and made adjustments which led him to victory its been a while since he won a title congrats to him on a well deserved win.

I was busy with other stuff today and only saw bits of both Medvedev v Shapovalov and bits
of the Felix AA v Rune match.

I didn't have any bets on for these two but for me the two expected players won.

Medvedev seems like he took his play to another gear.

Felix AA is on a roll, 3 tournaments in a row and got the job done in 2 sets!

Medvedev has qualified for the ATP finals and with 2 tournaments remaining Felix
is in a strong position to take a spot.

My expectation was on Holger Rune. The experience of Felix Augur have made him strong against Rune and win the match 6-3 7-5. I haven't watched the match between Medvedev and Shapovalov. The match could've been interesting, because Medvedev have lost the first set and then came back into the match winning 4-6 6-3 6-2. The last two sets have turned to be one sided.

It was an interesting and very tight match, although in the 3rd set Medvedev could win 6-2 it looked relatively easier but not in reality Shapovalov still put up a fight but he made too many mistakes which gave Medvedev a lot of points.
Putting this match in a multi bet hope the other two bets on the WTA Final event go well

Even if Rune is on fire in this tournament, it seems that Felix is really playing the best tennis of his life here.

Yes, it could be the experience of Felix and he has the momentum when he won against Alcaraz in the semis. Another record is that he hasn't broken in this tournament, that is an amazing feat.

And he has a good chance to enter the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time in this year end.

I don't follow tennis games much but I could see in the news from my country where he talked about how Medvedev and Shapovalov celebrated, according to what I noticed on the news channel they were celebrating like only Formula 1 drivers celebrate when they win a race



Will we see more of this type of celebration? anyway, congratulations to Daniil Medvedev, quick question: Daniil Medvedev is Russian, how was he not covered by the sanctions? or in tennis did not put sanctions against Russians?

[Ratash]

So far all the games today ended with a 2 0 score on paris tournament and we have seeing some surprising results one of them was sinner losing 2 0 despite being a huge favorite against hueslar but recently the suiss player has shown a great performance on hard courts especially when he won the sofia atp against rune so i expect him to make it far in this competition after today performance.

[n0ne]

Daniil Medvedev is Russian, how was he not covered by the sanctions? or in tennis did not put sanctions against Russians?

Yes, he's a Russian. Players from Russia and Belarus were not allowed to play Wimbledon. They're allowed to compete on the ATP tournament and Grand Slams. During this they weren't allowed to carry their flags, now players from these countries will be represented as neutral players.

That's actually a good point, never thought about it but yes, celebrations in different sports are really different. I would have never expected this type of celebration in tennis, which is usually seen as more formal, whereas in F1 you often see this kind of informal celebrations.

I'm surprised they didn't get into any troubles with the organizers since they have so many rules about everything, even what you can wear, etc.

It was a big celebration for Medvedev because he qualified for the ATP finals after
winning the title. It's different to see such a celebration, maybe there was no specific
rule about spraying Champagne, I can only think if there are matches to follow the court
would have to be cleaned, IDK?

We watched the match last night between Murray and Simon which turned into a 3 set
battle with Gilles Simon winning.

I was surprised to see Gilles playing but this is his last tournament.

It was a busy day yesterday and another today with some very interesting matches to come
particularly keeping an eye on Rublev and Hurkacz who are in the race for the ATP finals.

Not sure about the celebration but perhaps this is the first time that I'm aware of. Usually it was more of the traditional celebration in tennis, you go hug your opponents, shake his hands, the umpires hand and then you go on a speech.

And so it's good that the organizers allowed this one, or maybe they were caught off guard by Medvedev. Nevertheless, it was a good win for him and a needed, and it was a come from behind, he lost the first set and then comeback in the last 2. And he dedicated this win to his wife and first child, and so this really cause a celebration for him.

This was a really remarkable comeback by Medvedev after losing the first set. And he did well to win the match.
This type of performance obviously calls for celebration but I did not expect this type of celebration at all. I also agree that generally, we see some type of muted celebration.

This is probably the first time a celebration like this has happened in tennis. Yes, this type of celebration is often seen in Formula 1 and I have also noticed the England and Australian teams doing this type of celebration in cricket after winning major trophies or tournaments. It is something I haven't seen in tennis before and I think that it hasn't ever happened in tennis before.

It was a busy day yesterday and another today with some very interesting matches to come
particularly keeping an eye on Rublev and Hurkacz who are in the race for the ATP finals.

Both won over their opponents yesterday so the two of them are still fighting to get into Turin.Can't believe that Coric lost against Moutet and it's totally unexpected not watching this match, but I'm sure enough to put this match in a multi bet but sadly the outcome of the match spoiled the bet.

From what I think or remember of Moutet, he tends to have great performances at "home"
tournaments.

I watched the Rune Wawrinka match last night and was hoping my bet on Stan would pay
but he lost in a third set tie break to Rune.

Stan has been a long time favourite of mine and seems to be getting back in shape but Rune
has a lot of confidence lately and now faces Hurkacz, who himself needs to win this one.

All the big guns are in action today, Alcaraz, Djoko, Medvedev and Nadal.

...

I made the same bet on Wawrinka but made a cashout during the 2 match points in second set.

In this case the option for cashout was not bad at all (initial odd @2.75 --> @1.10), and I have take advantage of a "no risk bet".
He was the strongly favorite of the match but Rune is in a good shape and was able to fight for the whole match even against the two match points!

Rune is in great shape on this turf and I am taking him every day, just now watching him destroy Hurkacz, a bit mad at myself for not playing ML and going with more safe +2.5 handicap. That one was also paying @1.85 so not bad at all.

Had luck with my early tickets, my absolute bet of the day was Dimitrov to win 2:0, in the end I sweated a bit in second set since Dimitrov did not play at all, he mostly just returned the ball and waited for unforced errors. Too bad odds dropped a lot before my second high stake ticket and I already used the boost before.

[aoluain]

^
Nice one Trofo, I wouldn't feel comfortable betting on Dimitrov TBH.

Just watched Fritz v Simon, Gilles has won another match to knock Fritz out, this is a bit
of a fairytale last tournament for him, I dont think many people expected him to go this far.

Back on Rune, he knocked out Hurkacz and with Felix AA just about winning today it means
he goes through to the ATP finals!

I had three bets on today, Medvedev, Felix AA and Alcaraz

The match between Paul and Nadal is about to start. Nadal is the clear favourite in this match. Especially since Paul is currently going through a weak phase at the end of the season. He has won against Bautista Agut before. But Bautista had not shown a good performance. And so far Paul has always been knocked out in the second round in Paris. That will probably be the case again this time.

I don't really get the fuzz after the celebration of Medvedev. Yes, I know, they just give a speech and speak nicely about their opponent and show around the trophee, but celebrating by spraying champagne is super common in cycling and formula 1. I liked the celebration lol.

[Myleschetty]

Will we see more of this type of celebration? anyway, congratulations to Daniil Medvedev

The same Daniil Medvedev that was celebrated was the tennis player that give me a loss in today's Paris Masters Tennis tournament bet when he played against Alex de Minaur. It hurt because I strongly believe he ^{(Daniil Medvedev)} will win the game when I was given the chance to sell the game at a fair price I ignore it until I lost the whole bet.

Not so!
Paul is through after beating Nadal in 3 sets. I saw the first set and thought Nadal's serve
was not great, he was giving a lot of errors there. Paul broke Nadal in the first game of
the first set but Nadal still won that, Paul won the second in a tie break and surprisingly won
the third 6-1. Bear in mind Nadal had a lengthy a sense from the tour and was was back here
to get some game time in for the finals.

I was going to bet on this match but didn't know which way to go so I held off, I probably
would have gone with Nadal though.
