Just took some TP 3-1 at 100/1 for the hell of it lol

Obviously prefer him to break but these long rallies on BP are taking a toll.

Well it was fun for a bit.

That was another domination. Hope novak keeps it rolling for the title.

During the Tsitsipas-Khachanov match John Mcenroe definitely talked a little trash calling out how Novak has yet to play in a daytime match. Followed up by saying I guess he's earned it as an # times champion.

It's over. On to the French for Joker!

Nobody can get him into a fourth or fifth set right now other than that Caca guy early in the tournament. A huge problem for Stefanos is standing so far back on return. Novak is just going to slice him out wide in the deuce court and come in to volley or have him on a string for the first six shots of the point. It's crazy that I have Tsitsipas at 20-1 to win the tournament and there isn't even a good hedge opportunity since Novak is about -475 for the final.

Not sure I would bet against Joker but through history there have been some great wins by one time winners.
He kind of has to stay back on the serve because of the one handed. He either has to take it super early or he is going to get jammed by the body serve or get it up to high.
Much easier to go to the ad side with that return taking it early then go back towards the deuce side with the return. He would pulling it right to Jokers backhand and would be running to start the point. Might as well just get it back deep then go from there. Joker will stay away from the cc fhd of ST.

I just don't see him threatening Joker on his serve which will put more pressure on him to hold. Wouldn't be surprised if Joker wins in straight sets.

Any thoughts on who to bet on the women's final this morning?

I don't bet but Sabalenka has choked quite a lot in her career and Rybakina seems to be playing with a chip and is coming off a major win.

Rybakina is 0-3 vs Sabalenka.

However, she's looking sharp early. Hell, I think she looks great all the time. <3

ESPN lag tonight for the Women's Championship is the worst yet.

Pathetic.

Literally now 4 Points behind the LIVE data when it was literally just a hair behind a week ago.

Great match going on woke up to start the 3rd. Hopefully Sabalenka puts her away here.

I would have guessed Sabalenka had already won a slam. Good for her.

Looking like the line is settling at more or less Novak -500, Tsitsipas +375. Hopefully, I wake up early enough to catch the last half.

I’m either gonna be on Shitpants under on Aces or under 24.5 for both. Possibly as big as I can.

Learner almost pulled out the Boys singles title but lost to a dude I’m unfamiliar with. Good run from him.

Don't know much about either but Tien got a WC and took a set off Kecmanovic last year at the USO. That Blockx dude lost 6-4 6-4 to Stricker (ranked 115th) in his only ATP tourney.
