I'm seeing Swiatek in the +150 to +175 range for Wimbledon and she just pulled out of her only scheduled warm-up tourney. Hopefully some book hangs a nice number on her NOT winning. I don't care how good she is and/or how weak the competition is... no way she just arrives at Wimbledon and runs through the field like a female Djokovic. Her grass ELO is comparable to Niculescu and Vekic and shite.

I got 15k in the hole doing some dumb things at the end of college basketball season and was desperate. Now, I'm up 3 grand after this, a nice blackjack run, and some hockey wins. Thank you Rafa and the gambling gods, I am forever grateful. My only regret is I could have gotten like +450 after the FAA match. But, I was having problems funding my account and just panicked and immediately made the bet. I guess I could have funded the account and waited, but the line could have dropped under +300. I think this was before the second or third round.


I agree on Swiatek. She won't win Wimbledon. I don't think low bouncing courts suit her. I am with you guys on the grandpa Cilic play. He played well at Roland Garros and has decent grass results from what I can recall. But, he is down to 18-1 at MGM from what I see.

Ran across this tweet earlier today. Considering Murray isn't really elite at anything else, it shows how great he returns serve.

Murray v Kyrgios will be fun.

Murray is historically great- like best ever- against the world's biggest servers. Combined 50-9 vs Karlovic, Isner, Querrey, Kyrgios, Raonic, Cilic, Lopez (all top-10 career ace-leaders except NK who would be if he played full seasons).

This was good too

Whoa. You went balls deep. It's crazy how he went from those odds to like -200 with that Joker win and the Alcaraz loss. I was curious to see how the semi would have played out if Zverev had won the 2nd set and tied it at 1-1. I'm guessing you weren't as curious

I know Rafa dominated the final, but he got really lucky the way the draw opened up. He earned it in the Djoker match, but I don't think he runs that gauntlet if he faces Alcaraz in the semi and Tsitsipas in the final. He was also insanely lucky Zverev didn't put him away on that 6-4 set point in the first when he was on a string. I didn't know the foot situation was that bad, although I think someone here posted some chatter from reddit about it.

Interesting info on Murray. Murray/Nick would be a great Wimbledon match. Sir Andy could make a run in 2 out of 3, but I doubt the hip can hold up over two weeks of 3 out of 5.

Speaking of... somebody said Kyrgios will be up until 5 AM in Stuttgart watching the Celtics. Unfortunately he plays late tomorrow so no value in that angle lol.

Looked like Nick was dicking around for most of the match based on the highlights I saw. That said, I can see Murray pulling a big upset or two at Wimby before running out of steam.

We need a new name for Wimbledon now that they went full woke.

The Hammer beats Sir Andy. Some Dutch kid that I think I heard had never won a tour level match beat FAA and Medvedev.

Here's the kid's entire grass court career. Can you be a grass specialist without knowing it?

I'm enjoying Nick/Shitsy, but these tuneups are kind of tiebreak fests.

That’s why he will never win s major. He’s a hot dog with a live grenade. He doesn’t have the poise to go five sets with any top player. It’s a shame because if he got his antics under control he has the game to be great.
