Jeff's gone cold lately

[Jeff_Black]

It has been a bizarre season for sure. So many more upsets these days and a lot of players transitioning from potential to expectations. I've always been average with IW and Miami from what I remember last year. Really looking forward to seeing how these kids develop. Changing of the guard perhaps? Eagerly awaiting clay season too!

Very rare to see you playing WTA, but good call bro. Konta won in straight sets 2-0

Hah yeah I think I am 2-0 in WTA so far, might have to stick to that :P
Did follow the later rounds and in general noticed that she was playing well. So I know she can play. Especially against someone like Wozniacki.

[Jeff_Black]

Anyone following Marrakech reckon the last two matches were incredibly suspicious? especially the routine 'retirement fix' by Del Bonis just then? I'm always skeptical taking big lines and did consider those but 3 straight dogs winning looks suss to me...

Pretty sure one year Starace threw the final here and was banned for life because of it, might have been Casablanca...

The first one Coric was still fine, Schwartzman odds were 1.53. But the last two were just as weird as fxxk, one with 1.02 and one with 1.05
They must have made a massive money from it

[BetOnUnderdogs]

For me, 3 straight dogs wins is nice.

[Jeff_Black]

Yeah Coric and Schwartzman probably didn't have big suspicious betting patterns as weird as it is for Diego not to close the deal on that first set.

But the other two, hhmmmm

Good call Reda El Amrani +6
Unfortunately the final "drama" was, he couldn't serve out the match with just 2 points away, and then lost the tie break 5-7

Think I fell asleep at some point during the tiebreak thinking '6-6, good enough' lol
