 Gone in for mischa to win the whole thing e/w £5, obv with the idea he'll lose to nadal in the final 

 

Been impressed with him all season, quietly gone about his business and had some corking results. He's won me a packet this year but mostly had to lump on, worth a go this as returns £170 if he gets to the final £230 if he wins (he won't)

Interesting choice but you could make a case for anyone in that bottom half apart from Lorenzi imo. 

 

Shapovalov or Schwartzman making the final would make a great story.

 

If I was to lump money on though I'd favour Mischa's next opponent in Querrey or Big Kev. Both of them have been playing fairly well leading into the US, plus they've mentioned quite a bit this year about the bounce in the courts suiting the bigger guys like Querrey and Anderson.

Well it's a fiver each way and his odds are pretty huge and as you say it's very open, Querry will be a tough test though admittedly.

And she was beaten - might disappoint the organisers but maybe not the general tennis fan! 

Surely he was talking about Shapovalov?

Time between posts as well, can't see Maria playing a five hour marathon with no meldonium inside her.

That I was.

 

Funny because they asked him what the worst pronunciation he'd heard of his name so far and he said "Sharapova".

Their head to head is pretty tight, played twice against each other recently with one win apiece, could be another five setter.

Delpo has just delivered the best performance of the ATP season so far, what a comeback, what a fighter, saved match points too :appl:

 

The atmosphere seemed to get to Thiem, some of his shots at crucial stages were absolutely dreadful, choker.

I thought he was done and buried. Great comeback from JdP :thumbup:

gutted Delpo lost, i've really enjoyed this tourny. So refreshing without Pedvak & Murray

Would have preferred Murray in there and Nadal not have a cakewalk to the title, but yes - it's been fun. Would have really liked Del P to win it.

This tournament on the men's side has been average at best, the amount of top ten players that are injured is surreal... Nadal like I said though is back to his best ;) people doubted me on that call love the bloke one of my favs

Interesting Women's final tonight, two players who have finally found their Slam breakthroughs after so much hype over the years. Both been injured, both have come back displaying good form. 

 

Contrast in styles but all on Keys' racket.

Murray splits with Lendl again. And gain it's during a long injury lay off for Murray. Makes me wonder if Lendl gets pissed off when his players are out for a while and it causes friction.

Strange one and disappointing really, Murray has been injured all year and needs the rest for sure, like Djokovic. Federer and Nadal took time out and it did them great

This has been such a blowout year for Murray. Really disappointing after all the work to get to number 1 this time last year.
