Sofia Kenin winning Coco Gauff came as a surprise in this American derby. I was pretty sure Coco was going to win but I didn't place a bet for some reason. Boy was I lucky! Kenin won this in three sets 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

ATP was pretty predictable today, just want to point out Michael Mmoh defeating Felix Auger Alliasime, British wildcard Choinski winning Dusan Lajovic, Schwartzman finally advances to second round by winning Kecmanovic, Swiss vet Wawrinka breezing past Ruusuvuori in three. Also Radu Albot leading Shapovalov 7:5 after the first set is quite unexpected (match suspended).

I have actually only one bet on for today and thats with Bublik - I really hope his recent
great form is not short lived and he can win today against McDonald, Its currently on serve
in the first set 3 - 3

Bublik is good, but he is down at the moment, and I usually avoid players that are mid range and recently had good tournament result, IMO, there is no players except for Djokovic and Alcaraz that can connect two finals in a row, on any surface, and grass is probably hardest to do that

my bet is on Hanfmann, currently up against Fritz, had him to win set, but also to win match on higher odds/smaller bet
Djokovic started good, easy win, although tie-break had to be played in third set

At some critical point the match between Fritz and Hanfmann have got suspended due to darkness. More matches have been suspended whereas it is the only match that is at the deciding set where Fritz leads 3-2. Tomorrow both playing the deciding set with full energy could turn the match in any direction. A great comeback from Fritz, if not the match could've been won by Hanfmann long back and the points were 4-6 6-2 6-4 5-7 2-3.

Well Bublik got the job done, he didnt disappear after losing the first set but powered
through to win the following 3 - good performance but I'm not sure how far he can go,
he plays Wolf next, I might back him again?

Fritz is having a battle royale against Hanfmann, the remainder of the final set has
yet to be played and it could go either way

another battle royale was Mmoh v Felix AA, 3 tie breaks in the first 3 sets and Mmoh was
able to break Felix in the 4th to win.

Sofia Kenin winning Coco Gauff came as a surprise in this American derby. I was pretty sure Coco was going to win but I didn't place a bet for some reason. Boy was I lucky! Kenin won this in three sets 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

That was epic, I watched almost the last 2 sets, Kenin was on fire, some of the shots
she made were fantastic but also Coco made a lot of unforced errors and had to
try and play up to Kenin's performance.

Schwartzman will play against Sinner... 3 matches have been played and all 3 times Sinner has won! (Last this year in Barcellona - Clay surface).
Sinner is very confident in grass surface so probably it can be an easy match for him, specially if he will be in a good fit.

Yesterday disappointing loss for FAA this year has been really disappointing for him
Interesting win by Wawrinka, he was quoted as underdog (up to 3.50) but he was able to overcome the match against Ruusuvuori.

Everything ready for Alcaraz, it's very hard he will face trouble against Chardy

I am never playing against Wawrinka, he is experienced enough to beat anyone on the tour, and odds are never favoring him
so, it is better to play on him, if you think that he can pull out, than against on low odds

Alcaraz should have as easy match as possible against Chardy
Hanfmann is yet to finish against Fritz, but I don't think he can win this after an overnight break, should cash out yesterday, but didn't

[n0ne]

Great match to watch. Alcaraz won the first two sets 6-0 and 6-2 against Chardy. The third set was a real fight as both kept taking consecutive points and Chardy missed break point when he was in lead 3-2 which then moved into the hands of Alcaraz. Finally the third set won by Alcaraz 7-5. The third set of the match have lasted for 59 minutes. Alcaraz winning the title would make him the third youngest player in the open Era to Win Gentleman's Singles Event.

Ah yes Sinner should win against Diego. We are still waiting for Sinner to have a
"brilliant" GS and get to a quarter final  and Diego is not having a brilliant season but
I would really like Janick to make a big mark at Wimbledon, he is big favourite
for today 1.05 v 10.0

Up until about 2 years ago Wawrinka was my favourite player. He plays against Etcheverry
which I think he should win also.

So my two bets today are Bublik to beat Wolf and Wawrinka to beat Etcheverry.

honestly, sinner has really disappointed me in so many "simple" games that I'm almost afraid to place a bet on him...
Injuries, loss of concentration, lack of form, in short, a strong player shouldn't have these problems if he intends to become "number 1" or at least obtain results beyond the norm.
Today it is interesting to follow Berrettini vs Sonego.
Berrettini (Wimbledon finalist) is going through a very bad period (he practically lost all the tournaments in the first round ....)

Alcaraz winning the title would make him the third youngest player in the open Era to Win Gentleman's Singles Event.

Matches with the first three sets system often provide an opportunity for players who are behind to come back and put up a tougher fight so that the match can be longer, but Alcaraz did not let that happen by continuing to pressure his opponent so that the match could be finished in 3 sets.
Andy Murray also won in three sets of matches by defeating his compatriot, so he advanced to the next round.
Today Medvedev will have his first fight and his opponent A. Fery, the odds of the bookmaker favoring him to win easily because it's 1.01 against 21.00, so it could be a 3 set match in my opinion.

Considering that this is just the twelfth time Alcaraz has played on grass he made a convincing performance. It was good that Chardy improved in set number 3 and the match was played at a higher level.

The thing that I do not like about Wimbledon tournament is the rain. Every year some matches cannot be played or have to be interrupted. Just like right now.

I was hoping that this year Janick would do big things this year but it hasnt worked
out that way...so far.

Here is a question which can be asked of a lot of the younger players, is the high
prize money and expensive lifestyle a distraction for them?

On Berrettini, he just cannot get back to his former performance after the injury last year.

Alcaraz just cleaned the grass with Chardy in that match. Chardy should have given a lot more against Alcaraz,he got a wild card for this tournament and just got destroyed. Maybe the wild card should have been given to a player that is much younger. Two days of rain are causing problems. Even today we seen rain but looks like finally matches are gonna be played

[bct_ail]

I find it quite annoying and I am sure the players too. Zverev, for example. His first match in this tournament was postponed twice and will now take place on Thursday. Pretty annoying.

The match between Thiem and Tsitsipas was also interrupted in set 2 and continued at Wednesday. Tsitsipas kept his nerve and made his match point in the tiebreak in set 5. His next match is against Murray.

Tsitsipas vs Murray could be an interesting match. Everybody will cheer for Murray and as it is still early in the tournament, I think he can stand a chance. Tsitsipas is also not so consistent so there might some value on betting on Murray (or a handicap); need to check the odds.

True, it is annoying that some players haven't even played their matches for the first round whereas many other players have even finished their second round matches, the seeded players have the advantage of not experiencing any delays, because their match schedule is played in a stadium that already has a roof, but not many players got that advantage even anothers seed players got the delays as it would make their match schedule even more congested.
Tsitsipas was finally able to win against Thiem, the shorter rest period probably won't affect his appearance later, especially since he will face a player who is much older, but Murray here cannot be underestimated, the betting odds are not much different, even Murray is more favored than Tsitsipas, lasting more than 3 sets are very likely.
Medvedev, who just made his first match yesterday, will immediately compete today against Mannarino, he is still favored to win but Mannarino is a pretty good player so this will not be easy for Medvedev.
Hopefully today there is no rain which will make the match schedule even more chaotic.

The fight will take place today but I don't agree with you preferring Murray.
I think Tsitsipas will have more advantages and a chance to win because he is a player who is in 5th place, plus he is much younger than Murray.

On clay court Tsitsipas is my favourite and for this tournament he is still one of the favourites.
The winning bet option for Tsitsipas I still think it deserves to win.

[bct_ail]

Medvedev, who just made his first match yesterday, will immediately compete today against Mannarino, he is still favored to win but Mannarino is a pretty good player so this will not be easy for Medvedev.

Mannarino is in very good form and loves playing on grass. But he has never been able to reach his full potential in Wimbledon and has never made it further than the last 16. Medvedev has also always had difficulties in Wimbledon and has never reached the quarter-finals too. Mannarino is a serious opponent and has the potential to win. He has last won against Medvedev in 's-Hertogenbosch.

@bct_ail Mannarino will have the psychological edge here as he’s been the better player whenever these two have competed against each other but I equally believe that Medvedev would like to win and prove why he’s yet the best. Furthermore it’s difficult to wager on this match and if you’re yet wagering then the past matches record favour wagering on Mannarino but my gut feeling is saying that Medvedev would have improved and will beat him so don’t wager too much on this match.

I second that. They both surely deserve to win but Tsitsipas is much younger and arguably has more chances (some bookies don't think so). I hope everyone watched the Tsitsipas v Thiem thriller yesterday. That was a great 5 set match so intense wow.

Anyway, some exciting matches to watch today (my bet marked in bold):

Broady v Ruud
Murray v Tsitsipas
Zverev v Brouwer
Rublev v Karatsev
Medvedev v Mannarino
Etcheverry v Wawrinka
Cerundolo v Lehecka

Have fun watching and betting guys!

I don't remember to see a Tennis tournament with so many postponed games right ? The schedule is already messed up as we have a lot of games during 1 day with a lot of players who will miss their resting day because of the rain problem. Per example : Sorana Cirstea played yesterday and today she is playing again...and so many other are in the same situation besides the ones who played under a closed roof which is not fair in my opinion as everyone should have equal chances.

Today it seems rain won't be a problem...at least for now , so theoretically everything should be going well but still...there are too many games for 1 day.

Predictions : Sorana Cirstea to win against Ostapenko @3odds.
