I got Djokovic to win the tournament at +150 after he beat Raonic in the 4th round. Still kicking myself for not jumping on it when the odds were longer before that match.

Might just take Medvedev and guarantee some cash.

ETA: Never mind Medvedev is -110 on my site. Holy Cow!

Brady +350
Osaka -500

Trying to find something with some value in the women's match. Even Osaka 2-0 sets is -160. The total games number is 20.

I might sprinkle some on Brady to win the first set at +250. We've seen Osaka start slowly because of nerves before, but then again it's also Brady's first slam final and I'm sure she will be nervous too.

I had a little coin on Osaka. Should have put more.

Current Osaka vs peak Serena would be a hell of a match.


I would never bet against Peak Serena.

Alright, putting a little over a hundred on Nole. Doubt I will be up for the start of this unless I black out early tonight and am up early. I'll probably wake up around 6 eastern and hope it's at the start of the third set or so. See you boys in the morning.

Med tightens up and Novak takes the first set.

Djokovic is serving ridiculously well. He's also playing really well at net, but part of that is probably due to the fact he's playing Medvedev.

Djokovic is playing pretty well, not great. Medvedev is playing poorly.

This is over. Going to bed.

What a disappointing title match. I expected a thriller but Medvedev has lost it mentally...

Just caught the tail end. Novak gonna Novak.

Anybody have any insight into the crowd booing the lady when talking about Vaccines and the Victorian government?

Seemed really odd from a tennis crowd.

Goddamn, Novak is so good. And I’m glad he’s matured, because I enjoy liking him now. Rafa is my favorite (2nd all-time behind Agassi), Fed has had the GOAT career(so far), but is there any question that peak Joker is the highest quality tennis playing ever?

I tuned in midway through the 1st set, but I think they were on serve until he broke Med at 6-5 to win the set 7-5. He walked off the court at the exchange and you could see his confidence level shoot up. Med gave him an opening in the 2nd, and he blew it open and stepped on his fricking throat to win that, and the 3rd was just putting him out of his misery. It went from Med serving to take the 1st to a tie-breaker to over like that. Impressive display.

He made it look easy against a player that has been on fire.... he will shatter both what Fed or Rafa do Major wise....
