He will likely face Djokovic in the quarterfinals plus who knows what's going on with his foot so you might be correct

Maybe some value with Tommy Paul. It's not unbelievable for him to come out of that group.

Good call. Missed that. He loves the clay.

As much as I dislike Shitsi I had to play him here…

He's had a shitty clay court season but he can turn it around. He won the French Open Juniors.

Shitty/Shapo in the 4th round is probably where that bet WOULD lose. Speaking of, Shapo +1600 to win that quarter is tasty.

What are Tsitsipas' odds to make the final? Like +150? I see where he's -140 to win his quarter.

Yep +150 spot on. Terrible bet imo but he's the best player in the bottom half.

Agreed which means there's value in other players.

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

Gonna take credit for this regarding Rafa

The nerve treatments and meds and all the things they did to manage the pain are crazy.

Who are the second and third most likely guys to win Wimbledon? I feel like Shapo should be in there, but he lost today and manages matches like an idiot. Shitsy has a good all court game, but needs a lot of time to hit his groundies. Maybe FAA, but he seems like he needs good footing. Nick?

US ends travel restriction requiring the vaccine. Djokovic can now enter the United States. I am assuming he will play both Washington and Cincinnati ahead of the US Open, since he still probably won't be able to enter Canada for their tune up.

I wouldn't mind seeing him roll through Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and catching Rafa at 22 majors. He should win Wimbledon, but I think there are a handful of guys who could get him at Flushing Meadows.

Much tougher question than it seems at first glance. The current odds are a bit comical. Rafa and Alcaraz are around +600. Alcaraz has 2 career grass matches and got smoked by Medvedev last year. Then it looks like there's a 2nd tier which consists of The Hammer (legit), Zverev (shouldn't even be listed), Shapo (lol), Shitsi (lol), and Felix in the 10/1 to 14/1 range. Then there's varying prices on Kyrgios, Cilic, and Hurkacz.

If I had to put them in tiers it would be something like...

Djokovic

Berrettini
Kyrgios
Cilic
Felix

Hurkacz
Rafa
Shapo

I have Kyrgios 40/1 and Cilic 66/1 right now but would be really surprised if Novak doesn't cruise to the title.

Kyrgios doesn’t stand a chance at Wimbledon. He lets his emotions get in the way too much.

Cilic at those long of odds is the best bet on the board.

You took Rafa outright? I haven't gone through the thread yet.
