FAA developing quite a terrible record in ATP finals. 0-7 now, without even winning a set, and he was the higher ranked player in 4 of them.

Nakashima won his 2nd challenger. New career high ranking #135, #4 among under the 20. Young guns from USA doin work.

The wife beater is an absolutely perfect look for zverev, made me actually lol.

Got sinner +180. Wasn't planning to bet this match until all the donks moved the line way towards shapo. They think sinner is toast just because he had a tummy ache yesterday. Sinner just went up 2-0 and looks perfectly fine, as expected. Hopefully the market will continue underestimating this kid's heart.

Match delivering. Shapo playing well, especially returning, hitting fewer dumb shots than normal.

Sinner just doesn't look like he's got the juice to stay in this as long as it's gonna take for him to win.

You could've said that in the first game of the match yesterday. He looked worse yesterday if anything. The difference is quality of opponent.

Great 5th set from Shapo, except for a couple points at 5-4. He'll be able to tell his grandchildren that he beat the GOAT in a slam.

That was a great match. Jannik spent 12.5 hours Friday-Monday.

Nice easy 2R for Shapovalov against Tomic.

What do you guys think about my bets to win their quarter:

novaxx -250
thiem +110

Only guy in vax's quarter that ever gave him problems is zverev, and he looked like **** today, plus it's a slam, so there's that. Only guy in thiem's quarter that ever gave him problems is dimitrov.

Thiem could have Kyrgios and then presumably Dimitrov. I dunno, I think he gets through but who knows. Kyrgios is such a Jekyll and Hyde player... really depends on which version of himself shows up.

let's not pretend that any good player is worried about playing Kyrgios

Kyrgios has 3 wins and 5 losses vs Nadal, and is 2-0 vs Novak.

Those guys seem pretty good, and I have a feeling he's someone they'd prefer not to play.

LOL. Djokovic was injured in 2017 and had his worst year since 2006. The reason they have only played twice is because Nick never goes deep in tournaments. Djokovic would wipe the floor with Nick.

3 wins against Rafa is pretty good, once in a while he might manage a good win against a top player, but he can't string a series of good results together. He has never won anything and never will, and his ranking will continue to hover between 30 and 50. He's just not that good, his best is well behind him and he'll be gone by the weekend.

Kyrgios is just a servebot, his stats are remarkably similar to Isner and Opelka. He's capable of beating anyone on the right day just because that's the nature of being a servebot. There's more short term luck involved. People don't normally put him in the same category as other servebots because he looks more athletic and looks like he should be able to return and rally better than he does. But the reality is he relies on his serve every bit as much as Isner.

I'm watching Murray playing a challenger in Italy. He's not moving well, lost the first set in a TB. Other guy is not impressive at all.

This is the worst match I've seen this year. And I watched several women's AO qualifiers. But Murray won the 2nd set 6-2 and you know I'll be watching the 3rd because I'm a masochist.

He really should retire.

Brutal but he's not going to get back.

Kyrgios in another super entertaining late night match. Saves two match points and breaks to get back on serve down 5-4 in the 4th. Fans going nuts every time he wins a point.

Kyrgios is a quote machine.

Tiafoe took a set off Novak and got to a tie break in another. I hope he grows into a solid threat; it'd be nice to have an American to root for.

Unrelated, using the Tapatalk app makes it so that the stupid picture of the girl with the bottle always shows up first. It gets old fast, imo.

I'm really enjoying the tournament so far, although Wawrinka giving that tiebreak away last nite was a huge bummer for my sports betting results.

Watching the Kyrgios-Humbert match it appeared to me Kyrgios was impatient in the rallies, trying for winners when they weren't there. Also multiple drop shots failing. It was not until Kyrgios started getting more comfortable with the longer rallies, keeping Humbert deep that his winners started showing up and his drop shots became effective.
