Mikael Ymer @ 2.5 maybe. Medvedev won't go far, but I'm not sure if Bublik @ 3.0 will do it.

Fade all the guys you mentioned.

leovegas · 05-30-21, 11:48 PM

Sabalenka looked good in the first match. Konjuh is no walkover.

Kudermetova could win the quarter which I think is very wide open. Osaka looked ok but I think she has mental issues that will prevent her from going deep. Andreescu is in this (4th) quarter too and I can't wait to see her play. Could be a contender, could be out in 6 hours.

Can't really fade Tsonga when the other guy is like -700.

You don't think Goffin at +145 is worth a shot vs. a young teenager? Goffin is a very experienced vet who is arguably in the prime of his career. Sure the Italian kid is good but is this really a +145 situation?

Actually....nishioka being such a huge fave is weird to me.

Tsonga is no where near the player he once was, not because of age, but a bad injury ruined him. I wonder though, if he's decently healthy, he can pull out a good performance on his home turf.

Nishioka is not very good...looks like anhalf unit stab all day

degennn · 05-31-21, 02:51 AM

Tsonga +2.5 sets -130

Goat Milk · 05-31-21, 03:11 AM

Gonna take Tsonga ML.

GL.

stepaside777 · 05-31-21, 04:33 AM

tsonga and goffin with pouille to grab a set or two is very likely

Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the French Open. There goes a ten dollar future bet. Its probably for the best she takes some time to think about the future. Clay isn't her cup of tea anyway. Get well kid.

Does anyone remember this Colombian soccer player who got assassinated after this World Cup circa 1994, after scoring an own goal that took his National team out of the contention?

Osaka should choose her words, and her actions, very wisely. Not everyone bets ten dollars, you know wum sayin

thezbar · 05-31-21, 05:56 PM

Andres Escobar. Espn did a touching documentary of that story.

Goat Milk · 05-31-21, 07:41 PM

Fukk. I should have went with Cilic, more proven player.

Tsonga kept it close but maybe he's just about done on the tour if he can't even win at home.

Will look for some value picks tonight.

Let's all throw in our 2 cents of what we're thinking and why.

degennn · 06-01-21, 01:43 AM

Bedene line looks short....

degennn · 06-01-21, 01:46 AM

Rublev loves to drop first set to struffy

degennn · 06-01-21, 01:47 AM

Poppy to take a set off nadal at +425 presents value

Goat Milk · 06-01-21, 02:02 AM

Nadal to lose a set in the first round? Doesn't happen often at the French. I think the odds are about right.

degennn · 06-01-21, 02:12 AM

Brady looks like she will lose.

Ons jabeur is short

Goat Milk · 06-01-21, 02:35 AM

I think Mannarino is better than Bedene, no? Bedene has no offensive game. Mannarino has the home crowd. I got +285 here at my book. Thoughts?

degennn · 06-01-21, 02:41 AM

Kontaveit only -250ish against golubic?!

Mannarino has been trash. Lost in first round of last 6. I watched him against the kid cazaux and they both played amazing tennis. I had cazaux in that match and won but I liked how mannarino looked and took him in next match and verdasco bageled him in the second set.

With that being said bedene is theoretically in better form and an "up and coming" kid. The line looks to be baity given mannarinos recent record and I will probably be taking a 1u stab at mannarino.

Goat Milk · 06-01-21, 02:44 AM

Yeah I'm taking Mannarino. Line should be a PK. Mannarino has more offensive weapons than Bedene. Guess he could penetrate himself.

I also like Struff and Rublev OVER 32.5 games. I think it's a 4 setter here at least.

Can Struff beat him? I don't even think Rublev is that great of a player. He's overrated.

I like rublev alot but hes better on hard. Struff not beating him though but rublev does like to drop sets to struff as well as struggle a bit in round 1

degennn · 06-01-21, 02:53 AM

Mannarino +2.5 sets at home against the kid bedene at -160 sounds good.

degennn · 06-01-21, 03:27 AM

I'm taking putinseva +3.5

degennn · 06-01-21, 03:35 AM

And taking a stab at golubic to upset kontaveir

degennn · 06-01-21, 03:56 AM

And also 1u on humbert to continue to suck

stepaside777 · 06-01-21, 06:32 AM

got ymer expecting nothing as he got bagelled and then 6-4 lol

Goat Milk · 06-01-21, 07:39 AM

If struff wins you're finished Degenn. Could have got +775.
