I wish Novak had thrown his racket and got DQ'd.

It was right after he netted a shot on his match point, I think. He then kicked the backstop thing.

So for a parlay moneyline bet... Tsitsipas vs Zverev & Rafa vs Novak.

Tsitsipas / Rafa all day, right?

Double is odds on, 1.96…I’d even be tempted to back 3-0 in both @8.53

Incredibly random women's final Four.

Pretty convinced that for every FO and Wimbledon on the women's side you should just take a flyer on everyone that is 500/1 or longer

Would Sinner/Diego/Novak and then either Tsitsipas/Zverev be the toughest road to a title ever for Nadal here? Obviously peak Fed or Novak are tougher finals opponents, but he's really having to run the gauntlet as far as today's clay court players go. I guess Thiem in the final would have been tougher maybe.

I got a little of each of those, and went big on Nadal wins first set and match. Fingers crossed.

The idiots will come out numerously to declare that Djokovic had a higher peak and Federer won more in Australia

Done the same. I think it’s a great bet. End up being 3-1 in both now…

There isn’t a big media deal, like there is with serena because it just feels inevitable due to his almost 99%+ chance of winning the thing.

I like Rafa and he’s way more than just a clay court specialist

They showed an interesting graphic that Sakkari hit 100% of serves wide on the deuce side and 87% T on the ad side against Swiatek. That must've been a data-driven strategy. It'll be interesting to see if anyone copies that or if/how Iga will adjust.

Then again, no one ever adjusted to Wozniacki going wide-T-T-wide on first serves for the first 4 points of every service game for years. But players and coaches are analyzing data more closely now.

This is getting good, 7-7 3rd set. They've both had MPs. Krejcikova doing some expert moonballing, Sakkari trying to hold her **** together and rile up the crowd.

Osaka isn't playing the Berlin 500 grass tourney, so I guess that's a sign Wimbledon is unlikely for her.

But also, who knows.

Wow, ump made a terrible call on a MP, Krejcikova had to play a few more to get it done. Krejcikova had the WIM and mental strength advantage in the 3rd set.

Damn wanted Sakkari to win. Really quite the match though, bit of everything. Sakkari with a couple of major brain farts (mid point) seemed to be the difference.

People are debating whether or not this match is more important for Rafa or Novak. I say Rafa easily because I don’t think he wins anymore majors other than the French. Djokovic is going to have many more opportunities to win majors.

That said I’ll take Rafa and Tsistipas both in 4 sets today.

Tsitsipas takes the first set 6-3. The only break was on game 2.

Zverev got to deuce a few times, but never broke, so it felt closer than the score might imply.

Second set started off 3-0 after Zverev held-broke-held, but now it's 3-5 in Tsitsipas's favor.

ETA-

Tsitsipas broke, winning the set 6-3 after winning six straight games.
