Cincy

could’ve waited and got even better odds. Doesn’t matter Aryna isn’t gonna cover nor is she gonna win today 

Yeah, Kalinskaya does have the necessary tools to trouble Iga and she played a fairly solid match today but in my opinion that win in Dubai last year was a bit of a mirage. The reason is that the way the WTA gives out mandatory rankings points is based on several of your top results at COMBINED WTA/ATP 1000s (Cincy, Canada, Miami, etc) along with your single best result at a WTA only 1000 (Doha, Dubai, etc). Iga was coming off of a title in Doha and therefore had very little to gain by making a deep run in Dubai and likely was more focused on heading over to the states for the upcoming sunshine double.

Iga still would have theoretically earned points from Dubai that could be used elsewhere on the scoresheet (especially after she missed so many tournaments later in the year) but when you are fighting to be #1 in the world those points don't matter nearly as much as the ones in Indian Wells and Miami do. I don't know for a fact but I would suspect that it's probably pretty rare for a top 5 player to win more than one of those WTA only 1000 events in a single season under the current ranking structure simply because there is not enough motivation to do so. This is something to always keep in mind when betting those events because you can usually rule out any player from winning who has won any of the last few.

I ended up parlaying Iga 2-0 and Kalinskaya +5.5 @ +246. I had actually intended to make that parlay with Kalinskaya +6.5 @ +160 but they removed the +6.5 option right as I was about to bet it. Worked out nicely but I was really sweating that last service game from Kalinskaya lol. 

I ended up taking the +5.5 at -156 and the over 18.5 games and that was a sweat for sure.  That's a great parlay hit.  The medical time out 3 games into the first set had me worried she was just going to retire

CINCY

Veronika Kudermetova -3.5 (-120)

CINCY

Jasmine Paolini +3.5 (-110)

I'll probably end up with a bit on the ML too @ +198

Incredibly ugly match from both players but I'll take the W

Will have you anything today? 

@DrGame

 Doubtful unless I find something in Mexico but will be playing both semifinals tomorrow.

@bringit

 Thanks. I ask because I blindly folllow and have no clue when games are being played. 

Thanks for the picks. 

DOUBLES

Errani/Paolini 2-0 (+105)

Do you hear what I hear? The sound of a brinks truck is headed to the Smokies. Lord B has something cooking.

@bringit

 Iga Tomorrow?

@lmb4321

 Negative 

@bringit

 Got it....was looking at Kudermetova ....thanks for the input....

I've bet on and won with Paolini in each of her 4 matches in Cincy so far.

I've bet on and won with Kudermetova in each of her last 4 matches in Cincy (didn't bet round 1 vs Lamens).

I've watched every minute of their matches and I follow the careers of both players closely. But only one of these players can win today and only one player is worthy of the aforementioned Brinks truck. Incoming.

SEMI #1

Elena Rybakina (+128)

SEMI #2

Veronika Kudermetova (+104)

@bringit

 Sweep your board....

@lmb4321

+375 live after losing first set. 

@bringit

 I think you probably play more Womens tennis...but just can't see Sinner losing to Carlos.......any input?....keep it going 

@lmb4321

 I'm pretty much all women's from a gambling perspective but personally I'll probably be on Carlos small. Just think there's a little more value on the dog. If it wasn't a final that I knew I'd be watching I wouldn't be on anything. I wouldn't give much weight to my advice on men's though.

Well done you fecking fraud.

The Kudermetova ball between the legs slo mo was hilarious
