H2H Beck 1-0....She beat her in straight sets in Luxembourg (hard court). I think line is inflated because of Timeas run in Beijing. I cant get past her pointy nose and over use of mascara...lol

[Gargo]

My opinion on Chardy is he whips Kuz. don't be surprised to see a straight setter.....

[FoxMulder]

Here's my women's predictions for today. Havent looked into men's schedule yet.

[Vinnie Paz]

Timea not the prettiest but she's been so good to me lol

Don't just play players bc they have been good to you. Steve Johnson has been great for me, no way am I playing him today. Genie has been great to me as well, as I said yesterday wouldn't play her against Rad. As you know you have to pick your spots. By no means do I know all. Good luck on whatever you decide.

Will a parlay like this stand a chance?

Monfils, Isner, Chardy, Sock, Johnson, Makarova.

Odds: 5.41

Personally, I am on the dogs in the Chardy and Sock matches. Isner should get the W, but I could see him potentially struggling as well.

Best of luck

If you are asking me I don't play parlays, so I cant help you with that. I would not play Johnson.

I know Chardy had a though match, but he is a much better player than Kuz and he has had a day off.
Sock has improved heavily during the past year, and he will have massive advantage in the home crowd cheering for him - on the other hand form what I have seen from Rosol, he looks old, unmotivated and slow..

What advantages do you think Rosol and Kuz has.? :-)

I didn't like Sock's attitude/ hustle/ demeanor on the court in his last match. Someone from the crowd obviously felt the same thing as he was being heckled after he got goosed in the third set. The commenters mentioned the lack of effort was attributed to him being sick, so I am not sure what to expect from him.

[Vinnie Paz]

Isn't sock American ?

[ProDane]

Isn't sock American ?

You are right, my bad.
Rosol is like a bad version of Kevin Anderson, who Sock beat 1 week ago = Advantage for sock here

[Gargo]

Isn't sock American ?

Yes

[Vinnie Paz]

Played it when it was still 2.62 few hours ago. It's now down to 2.25. Ram is playing good Tennis currently i'm surprised no one else likes this bet.

[Gargo]

Chardy....Loss

Beck.....$$$$

1-3 in tennis

[Gargo]

Ram loses, wasted so many break points on fifth set

You definitely had plenty of chances, how Ram couldn't kill that weak serve is beyond me

[Gargo]

Rants/ notes/ reviews

Beck saves the day, straight set beat down

Chardy just a total misread

Larsson could have gone either way, tough 3 setter....Just could hold serve entire match

Svedova.......Went 3 sets so taking the huge dog was worth it, however the cream rose to the top...Better player flexed muscle after losing first set

Australian Open: Serena Williams - Daria Kasatkina

Serena saw off her opponent with great ease and in double quick time, but I am certain she will face sterner opposition today and regardless of what happens this week, I am sure that we will be hearing an awful lot more about Daria Kasatkina, who looks the real deal. Kasatkina is only 18 yo, but has been pestering the life out of her coach and team to let her turn pro for a couple of years and when she started to see what Belinda Benic was doing, she could not wait any longer. After winning Junior Roland Garros last year, she entered the US Open and won five matches, winning through qualifying and into the last 32, this is now her second ever slam event and it is clear they hold few fears for her. In the interim, she has already got her ranking up to #69 by winning six matches in Moscow and beating Venus Williams in Auckland a couple of weeks ago, after dropping the first set on a tie break, which tells you much about her battling qualities and she is not going to wilt like most other 18 yo newcomers would on this stage, playing an all time great.

Dasha thinks she is better than Benic, she might not say so in as many words, but it is clear from interviews and this is a confident young woman: “I was a little bit upset when Bencic started to play earlier and she started to beat other players and showing results a little bit earlier than me."When she started to play with the pros, I was still playing juniors and I was talking with my coach telling him ‘I want to play pro, I want to start to play pro, why am I still playing juniors (?) and he told me like ‘Dasha, be cool, you just have to get some experience from everywhere and really, the experience from juniors, it was great. "A lot of experience and good memories, I don’t regret it.” Benic is obviously a "fan" and said that "Kasatkina has a very different game, she plays smarter than the other players.”

Win, lose or draw, seven games is too much and I suspect more than me , that Dasha will be shocked herself if the match is not closer than that and with many opponents already having lost to Williams before they step onto court, that self belief and positive mental attitude is HUGE.
