Dusan was up a break at 4-3 in the 1st set and lost 6-4. Let’s see if he can repeat that.

ETA: This is the worst I’ve ever seen Alcaraz play and he’ll still win in straights.

Camila Giorgi beat Sloane Stephens 6-0, 6-0. You don't see a double bagel too often.

Is Swiatek gonna drop a set here?

I think Barbora beat her last time around and was like +600 today. Iga is about -125 right now.

This was pretty funny from Pegula.

This baw is hitting some bombs. Pretty cool to see some pure power tennis winning on clay. Carlos is +100 right now...

Weird he was suspended for doping when it seemed like his career had kinda flatlined and now he seems to be playing better than ever at 27.

Interesting how clay tennis has evolved. Aside from Rafa/Joker it’s a power game now. You can’t just grind out wins like Ferrer did in the old days. There aren’t really any clay specialists anymore.

I should have emptied the bank account on Carlos after the first set. But, it went from +100 to -120 quickly.

Cracka and KamaCausey, do you guys have any locks in here?

Hurka Durka played some clutch tennis to fight off a few set points in the second set and wins Marseille.

I will probably bite on Norrie +360 today.

Starting to dislike that dude.

Yeah I heard Norrie has won 13 of his last 15 semifinals. I guess he has the right style to take advantage of a Carlito off day. That’s really the only way to beat him on clay these days.

Unfortunately, I didn't bet this. Carlos looks like he is going to tap out. Somehow, Norrie is still +100. I'm guessing that gets voided if Carlos quits in a few games?

Yeah live bets are voided for retirements.

Was coming here to say nice hit. Oh well good read.

Wonder if these guys will get a Wednesday start in Acapulco. Even if so, that can be bad if you have to play 5 straight days. I guess there’s a little break before IW though.

I can't see Carlos playing Acapulco. The third set today was one of the craziest things I have ever seen. He was serve and volleying for a bit, doing sneak attack returns, hitting droppers every fourth shot, did an underhand serve, and was absolutely hitting slapshot groundies. I think it's a hamstring issue.
