I dont know it im surprised by that result of Medvedev beating Sinner, I thought
Sinner would win but Medvedev is capable of an upset, but Im confused about
it happening on grass....

The Italian flag is still flying with Jasmine Paolini though, she is into the semi final
after beating Emma Navarro in 2 sets 6-2, 6-1, I really thought that was going to
be a 3 setter. Paolini is definitely on course to win this I think.

I was also surprised about Sinner but from what I saw in the match he also had some fatigue problems, I had bet on him for the final victory, being Italian I am a big fan of Sinner and I hope he can continue to win for very very long time, even if in my opinion we will go towards a dualism with alcaraz, we'll see while we enjoy our champion

For me its looking very much like an Alcaraz v Djokovic final but wouldnt it be great if it was a
Medvedev  v Musetti alternative?

Taylor Fritz had a duel against Lorenzo Musetti who is currently 25th in the world rankings, while Taylor Fritz is No. 13, to be honest I hoped that Taylor Fritz would be able to come out of this game with a victory, so So I bet on him, I watched the game even though I don't really like watching tennis, but as I was bored and wanted to watch something, so I watched the game and during the game I thought about betting on Taylor Fritz who is a tennis player that I have I saw him in tournaments and in the news and I've bet on him in the past and because I saw some chance of him winning, but after I bet on him it seemed to me that Lorenzo Musetti started to get a lot better and all I could think of was: "I messed up "



and I stopped watching the game because for me it was already clear who the winner would be, I no longer had any expectation of winning a bet, luckily I always follow the rule of betting with lower values ​​than my normal when I bet on games that are not football. With this victory, Lorenzo Musetti reaches the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time

Is anyone giving Musetti a chance against Djokovic? can he at least take a set from the #2?
I think realistically an under bet is on here

Victory of Musetti was kind of unexpected even by me (I have seen this player sometimes also in live matches).
Fritz has a performance not linear, I means it's not the first time he had a bad loss.
At this point, lets see what the Italian player can do against Djokovic... Fortunately I have no placed many bets during this Wimbledon, but I have made many bad predictions

Nope, Musetti wasnt on my radar either - still flying the Italian flag for the men! and on the womens
side Jasmine is still flying the flag beating Vekic in 3 sets with a difficult 3rd set tie break. She will
face either Krejcikova or Rybakina in the final.

[Webetcoins]

28 years old Italian Jasmine Paolini having amazing time in 2024 as she is now having second final of the Grand Slam event after losing final of French Open against Polish star Iga Świątek few minutes back she beats Croatian star Donna Vekić in semifinal of the Wimbledon Open with the score of 6–2 4–6 and 6–7.

As She lost first set I was having feeling she is going to lose in this match, but we have strong comeback from her with impressive performance, and now she is already having spot into final with second semifinal is already in progress between Rybakina vs Krejcikova match is in early stages, but we have good start from the Rybakina which have early service break and now trying to keep things for going into final where she could be favourite, but It's going to be one of the exciting games with 4th and 7th seeded players will be fight hard for the title.

Paolini it's the first Italian able to reach the final in Wimbledon for WTA! Amazing result
(we have never seen so many big players both female and male here in Italy...)

@aoluain
Alcaraz and Djokovic are the big favorites as finalist ... but lets see if there is any chance for a surprise... both opponents (Musetti and Medvedev) are not easy players...

Correct me if I'm wrong but also the first Italian to reach finals on two consecutive GS.

They showed a graphic of her along with Musetti who is playing against Djokovic tomorrow for his place in the finals aswell.
Imagine if two Italians are in the finals at Wimbledon for both ATP and WTA.
That would bring some pride for the country since not having to the chance to defend their championship in the Euro tournament.

Another sudden surprise was Krejcikova beating Rybakina in the match right after.
Rybakina was the heavy favorite to go against Paolini in the final but Krejcikova somehow pulled it out of the fryer in the last set of the match to go on to win it.
Had a bet on both Paolini with an over 22.5 @3.30x but also put it in a parlay with a Rybakina win @1.19x odds.
What an error on my part to put it together instead of separate bets.

Yes, you're right. According some press I have seen it should be the second player able to do this (the first one was S. Williams on 2016).

Italian soccer team is the worst that we ever had... but Italians are always good players in any sport/field/various stuffs ecc

How is Serena Williams coming into play here? There were definitely more women players reaching two consecutive Grand Slam finals or am I wrong? I'd be surprised if Steffi Graf wasn't able to do it. I think she reached the finals more than twice in a row in Wimbledon.

Even though it is off-topic, the performance by the Italian team was shocking and it was so bad against Switzerland that I thought the game must have been rigged... I am not joking, I couldn't trust my eyes.

Rybakina was the heavy favorite to go against Paolini in the final but Krejcikova somehow pulled it out of the fryer in the last set of the match to go on to win it.

Yeah. I didn't see that coming either since Rybakina is an experienced Wimbledon winner, but she just kept giving up here and there on some shots way too quickly while it was the other way around for Krejcikova who never gave up easily.

You could see her hunger for glory everytime she shouted so loudly after winning points. This was a great match, but I felt that Paolini vs Vekic was one for the ages. Epic semifinals!

I was very lucky in this game and placed my 0.5 mBTC FreeBet from Sportsbet on Musetti and was delighted that he won the game.

Today I bet on Medvedev, I liked him better in the last matches at Wimbledon, even though he is by no means the favourite today. I think the Djokovic hurdle will be too high for Musetti.

Medvedev v Alcaraz is starting in about 10 minutes, odds indeed suggest Alcaraz
as favourite 3.72 v 1.28. I believe we are going to have a 5 set match here with at
least 1 tie break so an over 39.5 is on the cards.

Musetti has it all to do later, odds are 7.0 - 1.1, not betting on this one.

I would like to think that Krejcikova's win over Rybakina suits Paolini for tomorrows
final but Paolini is underdog @ 2.15.

[mv1986]

Pretty intense game between Alcatraz and Medwedew. Almost a dozen of break chances on both sides and Alcarazt with a very bad success ratio for his break chances. He is usually running at 47% this tournament, but now dropped to extreme lows.

Medwedew got his first warning already, quite as we know him. But stabilized immediately pretty much. I did not expect that much resistance from Medwedew. Seems to not be that easy to break him mentally in this tournament. That is usually his weakest points, his mental strength in these matchups, especially after receiving a first warning. But he is all set to take down the first set with a 6:5 lead and monstrous serves all the time.

Medvedev started the match very well and won the first set, but after that he kept making mistakes and then clearly let the match slip out of his hands.

Djokovic's game clearly looks like a win at the moment.

Medvedev is good players, but sadly he is consistently falling down against Alcaraz quality which is surely a big problem for him if he wants to have something good in his future he needs to be had some improvement in his quality which is now not ideal for having competition against players which are going to rule in coming years as he beats Sinner I was having hope he will be able to have some good competition in semifinal, but he falls down badly in four set game after winning first set.

In second semifinal which is currently playing between Djokovic and Musetti look like easy win for the champion player Djokovic which is leading match after winning first set without any problem but in second set we have some resistance from the Musetti which is having service break in first game of the set.

[bitbollo]

no surprise today... and we will see again the same final of the last year.
Of course Musetti was trying to complete an impossible victory but it was really to much for him.
Medvedev was able to win at least one set but it wasn't enough.
considering the physical conditions before the start of tournament, I was not expecting to see Djokovic at this level of form but he is a top player. Nothing more to add.

It was always going to be a tough ask to beat Alcaraz who has looked really strong
at Wimbledon this year as the defending champion. My over 39.5 bet got realised
anyway, even without the 5th set.

Medvedev as well as some other top 5 seeds need to lift their game a notch to overtake
Alcaraz and Djokovic when it comes to best of 5 set slams.

no surprise today... and we will see again the same final of the last year.
Of course Musetti was trying to complete an impossible victory but it was really to much for him.

Me neither, didnt expect to see Djokovic in the final, I thought Sinner would be there!

[Hirose UK]

Two interesting matches, Alcaraz and Djokovic are two great tennis players who are also at the top of the ATP rankings, they can always put on truly amazing matches and when the conditions are very favorable, everything will definitely end in victory.
Alcaraz managed to achieve surprising victory over Medvedev after being defeated in the first set and Djokovic managed to achieve an absolute victory in three sets over Musetti, these are two semi-final matches where the results can already be predicted.
Wimbledon final itself between Alcaraz and Djokovic will take place tomorrow and we can see them competing very fiercely, I sure Djokovic will definitely be much better, I trying to make Djokovic the favorite in this match.

[Koal-84]

Exactly Medvedev had a good start, started the second set well, then got a break and somehow didn't recover and couldn't manage a turnaround.

In second semifinal which is currently playing between Djokovic and Musetti look like easy win for the champion player Djokovic which is leading match after winning first set without any problem but in second set we have some resistance from the Musetti which is having service break in first game of the set.

Musseti had a good match against Fritz, but Djokovic is a completely different player and he had no chance, but for Musseti to reach the semi-finals was definitely a good performance.

[Haunebu]

Alcaraz vs Djokovic! Round 2 surprisingly since I did not expect Djokovic to come this far considering his recent form and knee injury. I feel that the Spaniard will end up winning once again.

This will probably be another 5 set encounter. Excited! Also, him winning along with Spain winning against England in Euro 2024 would be epic for me.

[dezoel]

Currently, we are in third set of the final which is playing between two players which were not expected to be here in this final but after having impressive performance in early games they were able to achieve this task and now having third set of the game after having win in first set Krejcikova lost his rhythm and lost second set with same score on which she won first set now in third set we have both players giving his best and trying to win their first title.

Paolini which is having impressive year with after losing final of the French final now she is improved and playing with confidence hopefully she will be able to fight till last point for her first big title and this could be also second career win for her in 2024 right now we are having 2–2 in third set entertaining game from these ladies for the title.

[EFS]

I watched both semi final matches. I want to see Djokovic win another title, he's too close to that. He went into the semi final fit after his opponent withdrew in the quarter final and beat Musetti without a giving away a set. He didn't waste much energy, energy management is very important for an athlete at this age. Alcaraz also got past Medvedev without much difficulty. Both players will go into the match in good shape. Djokovic has the opportunity to avenge last year. I hope the better player will win and that better player will be Djokovic.
