Grandpa Murray was garbage today. I am interested to see what Thiem does here against Gasquet.

Not watching but looks like he’s doing what he’s supposed to.

Tiafoe pulled out around midnight last night. Saw on IG there was a big pool party to celebrate his win.

RBA and Krajinvoic played a hell of a second set breaker.

These were my bets on that match:

ATP Monte Carlo

1.5u Krajinovic 1st Set +133 (BOL) vs. Bautista Agut

0.5u Bautista Agut 2-1 Win +305 (Bovada)

Needless to say I was happy with that breaker.

Shame the Shelton/Dimitrov match is at 4:00AM. I'm curious to see if Shelton can bounce back after getting worked by Theim. But Dimi still might be too much for him, especially on clay.

He can't play any worse than he did against Thiem lol.

Fokina/KK is the one I want to see.

Here's some court-level action from Murray/De Minaur. I think the camera still doesn't do the pace/speed justice, but you can tell how difficult it is to even create an opening against these guys.

Do we have any record of Shelton playing red clay as a junior? I know the 2 and 2 to Thiem last week is scary, but this +360 is calling me to go big as I can't help but think it's a borderline coin flip.

I don’t think there’s such a thing. It doesn’t seem like he even played on clay as a junior. Being a late bloomer he probably didn’t go the traditional route.

With MC being the slowest clay tourney, I wouldn’t touch it. Maybe wait for Madrid to play him, or at least take the spread instead of the ML. Grigor just doesn’t miss in this tourney and he can rally for as long as he needs to.

He did beat this Frenchie Lestienne in straights in Estoril before losing to Thiem. Lestienne blows on clay but he’s still #63 in the world, so that’s something at least.

Yep. Looked it up and Grigor Dimitrov has made it the 3rd round or better 4 years in a row at MC.

This could get ugly quickly. It's hard to even watch. The only thing Shelton has going for him is that even he has no idea where his shots are going so it's a little tricky for Grigor to read, but his movement is atrocious and he's spraying errors everywhere.

ETA: After the 1st set Dimitrov was 1/15 on BP. Match should have been over in about an hour.

Seems like the courts aren't playing very slow today. Might just be the conditions, or more likely... the quality of players now that most the lower ranked players are out.

Then the only seeded players to not make the Round of 16 will be Norrie (11), De Minaur (14), and Coric (15). Chalked AF, but should give some great tennis in the last 4 rounds of play.

Good thing I didn't bet today. I was thinking De Minaur and Dimitrov were undervalued. I'm losing my touch on this sport.

I took Diego to win the 1st set against Sinner

Clay is a pain in the arse sometimes.

This is from a real sportsbook. It’s crazy how often people do this. Risked $10K to win $300 lol. And that was when it was 5-2 and not 5-0.

If this Pubert Her-crotch beats Sinner 2-1 tomorrow…

It’s not even about betting. I’m just so sick of this klutz.
