Bjorn_Borg

Have to play Wong live as well. 

down 2-1 but up a break, still 4 in odds, if he serve this set out I would say it's 50/50 in the 5th..

Yesterday's picks

Krawietz / Puetz 2-0  
Mektic / Ram 2-0 

Bucsa C. / Melichar-Martinez N ML 


Ebden/Thompson 2–0  
Mektic / Ram, Krawietz / Puetz & Ebden/Thompson ML  



Lost two  play because of Ebden/Thompson.. it's the first time in the history of tennis that a reigning champion loses the first round agianst and alternative player.

some weird odds movement on that one, 1xbet opened at 11 in odds but was down to 7.80 on 2-0 on Drzewiecki, Willis before it started a 29% drop hmm.. 



Today 

De Minaur 3-0 
Bublik ML

Mektic / Ram 2-0 


Nice start at 1.97, saved 2 set points in the first set and was down 5-2 in the second but won in straight sets 

@BigDickHertzer 

Ebden/Thompson are not playing the Argentinians any longer they withdraw, but same play against the reserves. 

Mektic / Ram 2-0

Another new pair this year is Nikola Mektic and Rajeev Ram—two former world #1s—coming in with fine form after winning Cincinnati.

Ram has won the US Open three times in a row (2021–2023), while Mektic picked up the Auckland title earlier this year and has previous hard-court wins in Shanghai, Indian Wells, and Auckland. He’s also the 2021 Wimbledon champion.

They’re up against two clay-court players who have never played together before, which makes this look like a very tough matchup for the underdogs.


Mektic / Ram, Krawietz / Puetz & Ebden/Thompson ML 

Krawietz / Puetz 2-0

The German pair reached the final here last year and are now both ranked inside the top 10. They’re playing against 43-year-old former #1 Nicolas Mahut (0–5 this year—I honestly thought he had retired) and Mpetshi, ranked #251.

Even if Mpetshi can probably hold his serve, I can’t see them breaking the Germans, and Mahut’s serve should give them plenty of opportunities.

Fun fact: Krawietz/Puetz are 9–1 in winning 2–0 in the first round of every Slam they’ve played together. The only exception? Here in 2023, when they lost in the opening round.

Ebden/Thompson 2–0 

We hit all our doubles plays yesterday—let’s hope we can do the same today.

We’ve got a new power couple on the men’s side:

• Ebden: Wimbledon, Australian Open & Olympic doubles champion

• Thompson: last year’s US Open doubles champion

It’s their first year playing together and they’re already 6–1 with a title in ’s-Hertogenbosch on grass.

Cerúndolo is 5–32 in doubles since 2023. He didn’t look great in his two singles matches—both went to 5 sets. Gómez has played a bit more doubles, but at a low level. I can’t see the Argentinian pair having any shot here against the experienced Aussies.

Crazy only Khachanov that didn't win up 2-0 and 5-2 in the final set, had 5 match points… 

Edit: Saw now Diallo lost 3-0, so that feels better. Not so close after all

Darderi Luciano ML   
Darderi -1.5 Sets 

Eala  


Our bomb plays 5-1 now, unfortunately Eala didn't show up. We hope Bucsa will keep her fine form in her double today. 

@jvarghese 

Bucsa C. / Melichar-Martinez N ML

Doubles starts tomorrow, but taking this early, Bucsa and MM impressed last week when they won the double title in Mexico, without losing a set, and was very dominant in the final. 

I think Bucsa loses the singles today, then she can focus only on her doubles where she has a better ranking. 


They playing Kreuger and Hsieh, not bad players but they never played before and Kreuger has lost in the 1st round in doubles here the last 3 years, and she have a good chance winning her single, so I think she will be more motivated for that. 

2-4 yetserday. 

Only Eala and Darderi today both as singel and double 

@bringit 

@jvarghese That's her full name :) Alexandra Eala just ML

 Could add Janice Tjen +6.5 (1.30) to spice up the odds

Eala Alexandra ML 

Also tomorrow

Darderi Luciano ML   (4-0)
Darderi -1.5 Sets

What a year Luciano is having — 3 ATP titles (all on clay), reached the 3rd round at Wimbledon, and is now 11-1 since the clay season started last month. He beat McDonald in Winston and looked really good against Hijikata in the 1st round.

I don’t rate Spizzirri, the former college #1 from the University of Texas. He can dominate on the Challenger tour with his serve, but he’s getting exposed on the ATP Tour. He won his first-round match here against Dostanic (never heard of him before), which was his first US Open win (after failing to qualify twice and losing in the first round last year). He’s 3-6 on the ATP Tour in his career and always fails to qualify for the big tournaments. I can’t see him having any shot here against an in-form Luciano.
