I'm gonna run the ol bringit special in this next quarterfinal. Rybakina 2-0 & Boulter +6.5 (+162) With Maria behind her I think Rybakina will be thrilled to face a traditional opponent again. She shouldn't have much trouble putting Boulter away so I don't expect Katie to take a set but I do think she will be able to hold serve 6 times to cover this spread. This is a smaller play, an on the fly decision without having time to put in as much work as I usually would so treat it accordingly. Definitely not on same level as say the Emma or Vekic plays.
Katie can stop playing now…!! Didn’t see this. We’re gonna need all three sets for this to cash…let’s go Elena !!!

@Jhizzle13 Nah the 2-0 lost... unless u took her ml
My bad. No, I took Rybakina -4.5. Was really hesitant on it…didn’t see Boulter playing like this and didn’t expect Rybakina to only convert 2 of 14 breakpoints! That’s typical, my luck is terrible. Women’s tennis is so f’n unpredictable. WTA #2 lol

I wasn't able to watch but I certainly didn't see that coming.
I think now we will probably be headed for an all Brit Emma Katie final. A rematch of the Nottingham semifinalists from a couple years ago. And yes I like Emma to beat the Rak and then beat Iva tomorrow. Should be able to get a tasty price there too.

Vekic Boulter should be another over match. I was high on both players coming in and they have both delivered. It will be interesting to see how Katie handles herself today. She was not supposed to win yesterday but today she will be coming in with expectations. Big time potential for a let down spot but that doesn't mean there will be one. Either way I think these two will go toe to toe and rack up a bunch of games.
Raducanu should be able to take care of the Rak but I'm not sure if I want to mess with some giant game spread there. Emma will probably cover it but Rak is a fighter and will definitely force Emma to earn every single point. Emma has been great on return this week so I think she'll be able to feast there. Rak faced 7 break points against Dart today and was only able to save one of them, which is an alarming statistic to me. Many of Emma's backhand returns on this quick grass are simply unplayable.
What I'm really waiting for is Raducanu Jovic. This should be must see TV and I am really hoping that the price is right on Emma because I think she'll prevail. Nothing against Jovic though as I've thought she's looked great this week and she's a natural on grass herself. She was either a finalist or semifinalist at Wimbledon a couple years ago and then last year the first time she entered an adult grass challenger tournament she won the whole dang thing.
And you heard it here first, you better look out for Iva Jovic when the Wimbledon draw comes out. I could see her doing some serious damage this year at a tournament that seems to consistently give us an unpredictable winner.
But what I also know is that Emma is really dialed in right now and when Emma is dialed in I back her. About once a year she will show up somewhere looking like a grand slam champion and maybe even start to convince you that some kind of corner has been turned or something. It will inevitably all begin to unravel in a few days/weeks/months but until then you should enjoy the ride.

Love the long form thoughts, Ive always learned the most from hearing about the process. Im on Radu -4.5 games. Ginna enjoy the rare trip on the radu ride.

Iva looks great but she struggles against power and made some errors but Amanda was atrocious. I had Iva , those were my thoughts from watching the match. Other than how georgous Amanda is :)

After she got hurt she was communicating so much with her team that I was concerned that she was asking them whether she should continue the match. But later it seemed more like they were just talking strategy and after she took that huge wrap off she seemed to move better. If she's healthy I still think she has a great shot of winning this.

This has been a great tournament. I still can't believe they gave us Vekic as an underdog against Bouzkova. She has been lights out this week. Just as hard to believe that odds sat there at +100 for a full 24 hours when she was up 6-5 and never budged. Should've stayed on the train against Boulter but didn't expect to get that dud from Katie.
Speaking of odds movements I don't know if y'all saw but Jovic actually opened at -190 this morning. It took less than 20 minutes for her to get steamed to -350. So huge shout-out to those guys for helping to get us hooked up with +275. I was expecting to get +175ish so that was great.
Win or lose it looks like Emma is going to be seeded at Wimbledon now. And with Vekic being unseeded if a seeded player draws her round 1 that will be really unlucky for them. Based on how her odds have been going here there's a chance we might get a few more good spots on her before the market catches up all the way. Not tomorrow though, Emma wins tomorrow.

There are a few really solid matches tomorrow that are a little juicy but would make good parlay pieces.
Kreuger over Naef in the Ilkley final. She's been on a nice run the last couple of weeks.
Kawa should be able to handle Bronzetti in the clay final
Dudeney is playing Sakatsume again. That's who she played last week and dominated when somehow they had her as the underdog but she's -150 in this one
And I'm really tempted to take Taylah Preston in Nottingham quals. Mainly because I think she can beat Ruzic but also Ruzic is the number 1 seed so maybe she'll feel like she has the lucky loser to fall back on.
