Red eye flight

First Semi 

Over ( Aryna Sabalenka / Paula Badosa ) 21½ -120 for Game

Iga has obviously been the most impressive player in the tournament so far. She is dialed in but it is fair to question whether she has faced an opponent that posseses the tools needed to beat her. That is no longer the case now though with Keys, Sabalenka, and Badosa as the other players still in the tourney. 

On the other hand Keys has been on a heater herself but a much different level of competition. Her 10 match winning streak that started in Adelaide includes wins over Haddad Maia, Osta, Kasatkina, Samsonova, Pegula, Collins, Rybakina & Svitolina. If she's at her best she can beat anybody and she has been at her best a whole lot lately. 

Iga is the most solid and consistent player on tour so there's not very many things an opponent can throw at her that can give her enough trouble to throw her off her game. But......if there is one thing that can it is something that Keys definitely possess and that is power. Iga likes having plenty of time on her groundstrokes and when she has that time she works every angle to near perfection and we see the kind of dominance we've seen from her since the second round. 

The proven blueprint for beating 2ga on hard is to use power to rush her groundstrokes and keep her from having the time to setup for these ridiculous shots we've seen her making. It's no coincidence that her toughest match was in R1 against Siniakova who came right at her with power, just not at the level that the remaining semifinalists possess. This is why the players who can consistently give her a run for her money are players like Sabalenka and Rybakina. And go back and watch her last year in Australia and you'll see Noskova eliminate her in this exact same manner. 

Keys has a shot at winning this match without a doubt. Honestly there's a real possibility of a Badosa Keys final. Everybody has been expecting a Sabalenka Swiatek matchup but I don't think so. Either one, or both of them will already be on the flight home.

Early break for Badosa. Assuming this rate continues the final score will be 6-0 6-0, which is not good cause that's only like 15 games or so. Sorry man. Never seen a match done this fast.

 GLI've got Over 2.5 sets +155

You're right, Rod Laver seems visibly faster tonight. Could be KEY factor in the next match.

Tf is this crap?  Why you trolling? 

Satire.

Google it

Lmao that’s irrelevant what your intent was.  A decent sized underdog broke the #1 player in the world to start the match and this is what you say knowing the guy has the over and needs the dog to perform well? Haha you're a clown. Would’ve made more sense to say that stupid shit if sabalenka broke her.  But like I said you’re a clown. 

@wgomel21

 You taking the games or ML? 

I'm already heavily invested at +450 . Think I might lay off the game spread.

Wow, I don't even know where to start. Intent doesn't matter? Needs Badosa to play well but Sabalenka to get the break? 

Am I the clown? What have you done this week?

Madison Keys ( vs. Iga Swiatek) +5½ -110 for Game

 Just waking up from about 1.25 sets of sleep. Feel asleep towards end of first. I added on during first set with keys alt spread -2.5 @ +600. Now after that second set that would cash with moneyline win.

Congrats on 5.5

Too busy counting your stack after Falcon W ehhh??? 

This is unreal. My daughter says I need to take her to school. How does she even think about something like that at a time like this. 

Same situation, my daughter keeps pacing around ready to go.

Can someone confirm that I'm actually awake and just saw Keys beat 2ga????

Check your account, just did myself and it will bring a morning smile. 

@bringit

 That just happened. Boom

Best match of the tourney

@wgomel21

 I'm not ready to look. But I'm pretty sure that's the biggest payout I've ever had on a straight bet. 

And I haven't bothered counting the falcons money yet because I hit something else ridiculous last night that you won't believe. Wouldn't have happened without you even though you did nothing and it involved none of your picks. 

But got my dad face on for another 20 minutes where I appear to be like any of the other parents and not some dude who's been up all night watching girls on the other side of the world compete to see who can slap balls the hardest.
