Nice. Osaka isn't seeded? WTF. Has she barely played or something?

Rain has interrupted play everywhere except Chatrier.

Fritz advances. Isner/Fritz third round would be interesting, although one of them will probably lose next round. I want to see Uncle Toni coaching against Rafa in the fourth round.

Yeah, they are just starting to do some night matches there. I think he is set for like 2:45 eastern.

This dude Etcheverry saved 23 BP and still didn't cover +7.5 games

lost by a hook.

For some reason, Caesars had Rafa at +650 to win the tournament for a few minutes earlier today. That was enough to make me bite and I was furiously trying to fund my account for like half an hour, to no avail. For some reason, certain books just do not process deposits well compared to others. Anyway, that didn't last. He dropped to 400 and is now at 350 there.

Interesting. It wasn't some type of boost? We don't have those here so I don't know how they work.

ETA: Even he's getting overlooked a bit now. People underestimate the power of pain meds.

She may need to go the Halep route:

Nah, no boost. I don't really understand those other than I think they sometimes give you slightly better odds or something for local bets or special events. But, there is usually a low max bet. I see a lot of Michigan and Michigan State "boosts" here. I wonder if the odds were a mistake/glitch. It actually had me wondering if he was about to withdraw - I was checking Talk Tennis to see if I missed something.

I noticed that while Fanduel gives you better odds than most books for something like tournament winner, they cap the maximum bet relatively low.

I like to look at the Betfair Exchange in cases like that. It never gets taken down like with sportsbooks and it's closer to true odds. He's +420 there.

It's crazy how the odds drop off a cliff after Shitsipants. Some guy is trying to sell Ruud at 40/1 and no one wants it.

Guess Novak, Rafa, and Charlito will take turns trying to out-do each other in these early rounds.
