I sort of agree, but I can't completely turn away from a major.

Interesting that 31 seed Alcatraz is at -187/-156 range against 6 seed Berrettini (+150/+132-ish).

If you watch highlights of Alcaraz’s last two matches, that might explain it. Not saying he’ll keep up that level or that he’ll win, but it’s probably justified.

At least it won’t be a serve fest like last night.

Benoit might be the most underrated crazy person in all of sports. Dude is a legit nut job.

My favorite part is how he wins ATP matches with almost a WTA-level forehand.

I've soured on The Hammer a bit, too. No backhand, not great movement. He's done well with a big serve and forehand. He has some good touch with all of that power, I guess.

Same. I think he could be a threat at Wimbledon if the Brits find a way to keep Novak out. But the youngins are passing him up on hard courts.

Playing under 41 games here btw. I figure it has to be either a 5-setter or a 4-setter with probably 2 breakers to beat me, both of which aren't likely.

Paire +750ish vs. Tsitsipas is a gift

Definitely didn't have "Monfils -1200 in the 3rd round of a slam" on my 2022 bingo card.

Ha, I was thinking about that. Benny is on a heater and Tsitsi is vulnerable.

I didn't even notice all these side bets until you pointed out total games. For some reason, Caesars had that at 38, but MGM is 40.5.

This is insane.

You guys have Fanduel right? You might want to hit that sick +840 on Paire before it moves.

And yeah these legal books are looking like the offshores now. Very easy to get sucked in and bet on crazy shite.

Yup, we have like 10-12 books. I have four accounts (Fanduel, MGM, Caesars, Barstool)

Nah I’m not jealous. We’re still in the stone ages here in Vegas.

South Point has literally no tennis lines. Zero.

That's quite a choke in 2nd set TB by the Serb against the greaseball.

I watched every point of that. Sonego is a complete dick and grunts two seconds after he hits the ball.

Hammer saves 4 BP in his first service game. Not watching but that can't be a good sign.

And another in his second service game.

I’ll probably stay up to watch Korda tonight. Would love for him to reach the round of 16.

Same. I didn't see any of his first 2 matches.
