Gentlemen's Draw.
Novak Djokovic has won three straight Wimbledon titles and seeks a seventh total, which would tie him with Pete Sampras.

Ash Barty is your defending champ on the women's side. But, oh, she retired. Rafa Nadal seeks to win the third leg of the calendar grand slam. Djokovic is -120 to -140 to win the tournament, Swiatek is +140 to +155 on the women's side, depending on the sportsbook. There are no Russians, Zverev, or Federer. Almost all TV coverage appears to be ESPN, with some extra at times on ESPN2 or ABC.

Be a rebel and name the thread the "Official" one. Medvedev would do it.

MidnightVibe is neurotic about that for some reason. So, we always have to call it unofficial.

It’s gonna suck this year without players who are not allowed to play because of something they can’t control.

Plus ESPN is covering it and a large percentage of the early matches will be on ESPN+ which I refuse to pay for.

Thanks for putting Wimbledon at the end of the title. Trash bastards don’t even deserve that.

I’ll try to do a preview tonight or tomorrow to see how much I can get wrong.

My bets are awful. I got FAA at +1100, Cilic +1800, and Shapo +2500 a couple of weeks ago. Cracka's thinking on RBA is really good. He played well against Tsitsipas today and is decent on grass. If RBA plays Shapovalov third round and your life is on the line, who are you betting on? If he wins that, he has a decent chance against the Hammer and to go deep in that half.

I wouldn't mind seeing Novaxx roll through the summer and catch Rafa at 22 majors at Flushing Meadows. But, I think I'd rather see someone like Berrettini or Auger-Aliassime break through and win a major.

That was pre-tourney. Unfortunately he landed in the quarter of death. His potential path is too nasty…

R1: Win
R2: Win
R3: Shapo
R4: Shitsi/Kyrgios
QF: Berrettini
SF: Rafa/Cilic/FAA
F: Pureblood GOAT

I’m with you here. This should make for a great individual match bet.

Berrettini, Hurkacz & Cilic all to win their quarters (+4000)

I played this at Bovada and it's still available.

Using Bovada's own quarter odds for MB (-110), Hurk (+140), and Cilic (+450), a parlay comes out to +2420 so there's clear value. Not to mention I like all 3 of them anyway.

Hurkacz drops his first set in a tiebreak.

Novak loses serve and is down a break to the Korean.

Good to see play back on at the outer courts. I didn't want to see a rainout on day one.

Kwon isn't the same guy that made the run to the Australian Open semis like 5 years ago or is he?

Lol no. I am forgetting the name now. Cracka will laugh because for a while, we were always crowning someone as the big next gen guy. People were calling him a young Djokovic. I just looked it up. It was Hyeon Chung. I think he has had injuries the last few years.

Lol gotcha.

Novak on his way to winning the last 5 games of the 1st set. Order restored!

Hurkacz down 2 sets now. Uh oh.
