    When was the last time an underdog won a men's grand slam?

    I've got to believe that Joker had a bad day as opposed to Sinner amping it up, thus I think he'll be overbet. Medevedev is the play.

    Could be. With men you got to have a really bad day to lose as a favorite in a grand slam final. Very hard to break someone's serve if they are dominating for a couple weeks due to the ball speed and delivery as most men tennis players now are 6'-4" or taller. They are bigger than point guards or soccer goalies.

    My only concern with these odds is that Sinner might lose the 1st set, might... if he doesn't then he should easily win ... in fact he should "easily" win no matter what if you call a 4 set win "easy"...

    If he loses the first set I think picking him for a higher price might be a better option.... I really don't like Medvedev, but unfortunately he's a good tennis player.

    I imagine Medvedev (8 sets lost) has been on court a little longer than Sinner (1 set lost).

    I like Medvedev @ +250, so Sinner probably wins in 4 sets.

    Been reading about Sinner:
    1) Young man to root for. Drives a sweet Ferrari.
    2) Well-liked by the other players.
    3) Stunning G/F.

    that is like saying you do not like Disneyland.

    by all accounts, he is one of the nicest players on tour.

    extremely humble, very intelligent, extremely well-liked by the other players on tour, and their coaches and their families.

    he is a great kid.

    Disneyland in Anaheim just 22 miles from my home, is awesome.

    However, I agree that Disneyworld is better.

    Still, SoCal a better bet for amusement park buffs.

    We have:

    - Disneyland
    - Knott's Berry Farm
    - Universal Studios
    - Magic Mountain

    All within 60 miles of each other.
