    Just bet on Kevin King over Sarmiento in challenger tennis. King gets his shit kicked in 6-2 in first set, recovers from 2 mini breaks in the 2nd set tiebreak to win, then goes down 0-5 in the 3rd only to magically reel off 7 straight games and win 7-5 (saving a match point in the process)

    Love it when you are on the right side of these meltdowns.

    Decided to make this thread to post just ridiculously lucky wins (or brutal beats) in the wonderful sport that is tennis

    Got a ton of those. Of course, I remember only the losses lol. Most recent ones:

    Luca Vanni vs Calvin Hemery, Wimbledon Qualifying. I think I got Luca -3, he won 6-2 first set. Had 40-0 on serve, 5-4 or 6-5, 2nd set. Gets broken. Match goes to tie break, he loses. 3rd set has no tie break, he wastes a couple of match points and ends up losing 13-11.

    Granollers moneyline vs Djere. Granollers serves for the match 5-4, 40-15 and then 2 or 3 match points at Ad-40 and gets broken on the 1st break point. Set still goes to tie break, he has 6-2 or something, ends up losing. And of course he lost the 3rd set lol.

    Svitolina vs Parmentier at indoor ITF tournament in France.

    Last set tiebreak. I think Svitolina was up 6-1 in the tiebreak, and eventually she lost. I was mad.

    Lots of em, but this one bothered me the most:

    2016 Final in Nice, France, between Alexander Zverev vs Thiem. Was on the overs. 1 set all, needed 7 games in the third set, Thiem won 6-0.

    I think it was either 2010 or 2011.....I had Rajeev Ram playing in Newport on the Grass.
    He was serving leading 5-0 in the 3rd set, and had multiple match points in that game......he dropped serve, and lost 7 straight games, just like your match from yesterday. If I remember correct, I reeled after that, and blew my entire bankroll in a couple games, taking shots from that beat. I've learned alot since then, lol

    I had him in a parlay. I started to watch the match at the end of the 2nd set.
    Massive choke by Albot in the final tie break, wasted 4 match points and then double faulted at 7-7 lol.
    Goffin is playing like shyt, it looks like he isn't totally recovered from his injury, got really lucky today.

    WTA, couple of years ago, don't recall who was playing
    I bet the over, either 20.5 or 21
    Match went 3 sets, easy cash, right?
    I lost; 6-0, 1-6, 6-1

    I just got a decent one. I had Vega +4.5 vs Jaziri. He was down 5-7 3-5 15-40. He saved three match points on Jaziri's serve and then broke him. Then did me a solid and got broke next game. Lost 5-7 5-7. Would have been frustrating to be on the other side of that one.
