Well, I have $500 on Sinner +425. So, there's that. But, the more I think about it, I am not super confident. He was up two sets to zero last year and couldn't get it done. He obviously has to serve his tail off. The good news is I think he will get breaks.

I don't have much feel for the other match. Medvedev is going to pay the price at some point for returning ten feet behind the baseline. Eubanks ate him up on that. I don't see Carlos serve and volleying a lot, but he will be breaking out the dropper. I just don't want to see a Djokovic/Medvedev final. Novak will serve him out wide and have easy volley winners all day.

I'm already on Sinner +6.5 (and would play +6 too). Can't decide if I want to add some Joker 3-1. I feel like 3-0 is the only way both of those lose and even then +6 can still cash or push.

Don't think I will pull the trigger on Sinner ML but I might play him to win 1st set & match at +600. Can't see him winning without taking the 1st set.

I read that Med changed up his return position at some point vs. Eubanks but it didn't make much of a difference. It's weird to me that a guy who hits so flat isn't able to return well from further up. I guess he just needs that big loopy backswing to feel comfortable.

That also feels like a 3-1 to me. Alcaraz is just too good around the net and has too much feel to screw things up with Medvedev playing from the back wall. But the Med serve is just too good to not expect him to get at least 1 set. Over 39 is a pretty decent option. Just need at least 4 sets and 1 breaker.

Sinner had three BPs in the first set and didn't cash. He just seems to have trouble getting around on the ball. Novak has done a good job putting balls at this feet. Djoko has won like 100+ major matches in a row after winning the first set. So, the odds for Sinner are not good!

I didn't like the call, but Djokovic grunted like a full two seconds after he hit the shot, basically when Sinner was hitting the ball. Sinner had him on the ropes on BP and couldn't take advantage. I think this is going to be one way traffic now.

If you accept a bs point like that against Novak the match is over.

The smart thing to do is waive it off or ask for a replay.

BTW Mac is right - the beaitiful Sabalenka does that almost every point.

One of the joys of the last 5 years is how McEnroe has become the biggest Novak defender on the planet and points out every singe injustice shown to the GOAT.

Yeah, her face looks like the Joker. Winston probably likes her because she is from Belarus.

Djoker up two sets. I think he has only lost one or two matches in his life from this point.

You seem like more of a Jabeur guy, point taken.

I think he still looks about the same. Super sharp (no homo).
