AO 2024

@Bjorn_Borg

 Good Luck

I got Tsitsipas ML 1.33 - Fritz looks uncomfortable in this tournament and Tsitsipas likes it here. 

FAA +2.5 sets parlayed with Ruud ML 1.75 - I'm scared of medvedev picking where he left off and bulldozing a usually weak FAA but I like what I've seen from him. Ruud is just better than Norrie. 

Yastremska +4 1.67 - Navarro has given up too many games so far to where I think she can break a solid Yastremska more than twice. 

Like them all, Ruud is also 3-0 H2H against Norrie. 

Yastremska have been really good this week, she always have had talent but not the mental part, maybe this will be a big turn around for her this year. 

Felix should take a set he was up 2-0 last time they meet here in AO and lost, but you never know. I wouldn't play against Medvedev, if he start the match like he finished th game could be over quickly. 

Paul should win easy and I think both Cazaux and Humbert would take at least one set. 

Hunter 

Late to the party but

Sinner to win 4/1

Small on Alex would would face Sinner before eventually Djokovic in Semi. 

Alex De Minaur to win 28/1.

Both Sinner and Alex have won their last meeting against the Joker so good chance that one of these will play the final. 

Alex De Minaur A should be favorite against Rublev based on how they played this year plus the home fans for Alex.

2.20 taking this early  

Tomorrow

Yastremska +3,5

Blinkova +1.5

Alex De Minaur ML

Djokovic Over 28.5

Sabalenka over 19.50

Week 1: 17-15

Bad last day.

Week 2.

Hsieh S-W. / Zielinski J. 

Mixed double

Tomorrow

Hsieh- S-W/ Zielinksi + Krawczyk/Skupski (Mixed)

Krejcikova, Siegemund - Hunter, Siniakova Over 21,50  (There is no tie-break in the 3rd set in slams)

Krejcikova and Siniakova the former #1 in doubles and winners of Australia Open 2023 & 2022 have split and now playing against each other for the first time! I think this will go to distains, can't pick a winner.

Should be a great match. 

A bit more about Krawczyk/Skupski they reached the semi-final here last year and I'm sure they want to do everything to do one better and get to the final this time. They already have 2 slams in mixed, winning Wimbeldon 2021 and 2022.

They now playing the big sensations  pair Fourlis J. / Harris A from Australia who have been BIIG underdogs in every match but won all 3 2-0 so far. So how good are they really? Harris is ranked 99 in doubles playing mostly challengers, Fourlis is ranked 397 at the moment (highest ranking 198).

No, I think the only reason they gone this far has been lucky draw. The number 1 seed Hunter and Ebden where both in already in the quarterfinal in their main draw with two big games coming up. If the would have win their match they would had to play 2 matches the same day, and of course there focus is the main draw where all the prize money and points are. For example Hunter #1 ranked double in the world and #4 Eden was up 4-2 in the 1st set and then lost 4 straight games. Second goes to TB and  they are up 6-3 and loses 5 straight points (most they done in a row all game)

Same story quarterfinal against Siegemund L. / Gille S.

Siegemund L playing her match with Krejcikova in the main draw the same day as this match would have been and Gille was already out from the main draw since the 16th of Jan. He is playing Davis cup next week in Europe and I don't think wanted to stay this long in Australia for a mixed double match. 

Think Krawczyk/Skupski 2-0 would also be a good bet, Fourlis will be exposed here..

Sabalenka A ML

Sabelanka 2-0

The real final...

Taking this early I think this will go down a lot before Thursday. Sabalenka is beast, she haven't shown any weakness apart from that one game against Rybakina, she has bageled 4 different player already this year, total dominance and payback chance for the US Open final. 

You think Saba wins it all? 

Yes, I can't see anyone being close, she will defend her title. 

too many unforced erors also forced errors but we could see she's beatable . I hope yastremska will show up her weaknesses and do some kind of political revenge against all odds :)

Crazy that none of Kalinskaya A. or Zheng Q has played against any top 30 players and are in the quarterfinal, Zheng could reach the Final in a Grand Slam beating nr #76, #54, #94, #95, #75 #50/93 on the way. 

Sinners road #29, #15, #5, #1 #2/3/6/9 

@Bjorn_Borg

 This is confusing because the teams you mentioned aren’t playing each other and some aren’t even playing.

Over wins

Krejcikova, Siegemund - Hunter, Siniakova Over 21,50  

Hsieh- S-W/ Zielinksi + Krawczyk/Skupski 
Krawczyk/Skupski 2-0 

great start of the second week!

@MiXaoLon

Mixed double 

Ah I see what you mean mixed up Gadecki O. / Polmans M. and Fourlis J. / Harris A in the write-up. Same outcome tho, they both won 2-0. 

Alcaraz C under 37.50

Sasha played over 4h last game, think this will look a lot like their meeting in US Open last year and don't think we will see any TB. So under 37.50 could also work even if Sasha manage to nick a  set. 

Zheng Q LIVE lost the first set

Zheng  

Nice comeback, you could see in the first set that she was the better player.

Zverev 6-1  not what I expected. Would love to see  Medvedev - Zverev semi 

That was the worst thing that could happen now Zverev need to win 6-2 (double break) to keep the under in play.
