First of all, I'm a hack when it comes to betting tennis so don't take this too seriously.

What I like about Putintseva
Yulia Putintseva only played set yesterday when her opponent retired due to injury. She's only 21 years old and put away her previous opponent 6-0 in the last set. I think she can add some energy here against Venus. Certainly she will be motivated.

What I don't like about Venus
Why am I betting against her? Well, she's 35 years old. She had a few problems in her last match against Sevastova winning the first set only 7-5. I think Putintseva can come close in at least 1 set like Sevastova did. In fact, I'm predicting Putintseva may win one set although I'm not bold enough to bet on it.

That bagel was against Kato an ITF unknown, someone Yulia should have beaten easily in 2. I put some on Venus ML, think she's on a mission and thinks that she thinks has a shot at another major before its all over.

Thanks for the input.

She had a little trouble with Kato in the first 2 sets. I was hoping the bagel showed that she was able to dominate like she should have earlier.

Yulia had Advantage during Venus' serve and almost broke serve. Just keep these long points going on and I'm hoping Venus will tire.

Yulia held serve. The thing I like is that she forced Venus to work for her points.

Huge break! which player ordered the chili cheese dog? in Taiwan
This is just a good match now

[QuantumLeap]

Huge break!

Yes!

Venus having a couple foot faults and double faults. I'm not asking for Yulia to win. Just get win some games.

[QuantumLeap]

Still a hope!

Putintseva breaks Venus' server to keep it within 4-3 in the 2nd set. She just needs to hold serve a couple times and this bet is good.

Damn! One point away from Yulia going to 4 games in the 2nd set. Instead, this is a push at 7-5, 6-3.
