Slam Time!

3-0 in the finals somewhat salvages Monterrey and leaves us at 68-66 this swing. 

US Open: 0-0

Jpeg 2-0 & Paolini 2-0 -107

Only concern here is Paolini's nagging foot and that she hasn't played since Wimbledon.  Erjavec only has two hard court matches since Clay and grass season and is coming in on a 4 game loss streak. She's actually only even played a handful of players in the top 100 this season at all and if Paolini is anywhere close to 100% healthy then she should be able to lock in and take over the match without dropping a set or too many games

Lots more matches to look through! My weather app is telling me that it should be clear for most of the day but around 5pm so hopefully they should be able to get all the matches in. 

Coco to win it all +450

Parks -113

Xinyu Wang 2-0 -120

Possible juicy upset:

Kalieva +188

If you're not feeling bold I really like the game spread and the o21.5 here too

Stefanini/Yastremska o21.5 -120

Alexandrova -1.5 games -145 

Boulter -150

Probably last one for the day

Pliskova -2.5 games +115

Williams/Kenin o17.5 & Bublik ML -105

6-3 day to start open. shoulda just taken the ML on Pliskova. That's two plays in the last few days that greed prevented a win def not doing that anymore.  

Some interesting matchups to look at for tomorrow, Novak just had to make that match go 4 hours instead of retiring when he clearly wasn't able to move or serve or barely even hit the ball there. Stay tuned!

Tough lines for the first slate of matches today. On paper some of them are pretty lopsided but as we all know anything can happen in the first few days of a slam.  Weather looks okay maybe a couple showers in the early evening but hopefully won't have any lengthy delays. 

Liutova/Zheng o21.5 -105

Bouzkova & Muchova 2-0 -115

Korpatsch/Tagger o20.5 -115

Bejlek 2-0 -155

Ito +3.5 -135

Pod/Waltert o20.5 -145

AA 2-0 & Kalinskaya -103

Cirstea 2-0 & Ann Li -145

Joint/Samsonova o20.5 -120

Joint +255

Joint should have won this match last month I ln Toronto. Samsonova started the 3rd set with 5DF but Maya just lost her cool and could not close the match out. It was purely a mental thing. I don't see her getting blown off the court and have very high confidence in the over and it's a great price I would have taken o21.5 at -120.  I think it's 3rd time's a charm as Samsonova won the previous match before between them too.  If Maya keeps her cool and doesn't randomly forget how serve or how to place the ball then this is a very winnable match and the +255 is great value.

Or Samsonova has one of those days where she's locked in actually hitting the court and it ends up 6-3 6-2

Much better 3rd set this time from Maya!

Final play:

Osaka/Zakharova u19.5 -155

The u18.5 is -110 and I think likely to hit but just gonna play it safe after another solid day today

@mrnotoriousman

 Felt like the venus williams under yesterday

7-4 yesterday, 13-7 US Open

I was all excited when Naomi had bp to go up 4-0 then she lost the game and her level just crashed.  This should be a straightforward play as long as Rybakina is not still injured. Stardust is pretty much a better version of Seidel and has been in far better form as of late.

Rybakina 2-0 & Stardust ML -154

Also, fun fact - Thea Frodin was the body double for Serena in the movie King Richard!

Keys/Korneeva o20.5 -124

Knutson +138

Sakkari/Montgomery o21.5 -126

Havlickova +155. The over 21.5 seems fairly safe here, I'm gonna take her to get the upset here tho

Badosa/Kasatkina o21.5 -135

Mertens 2-0 & Jovic ML -102

Coco 2-0 & Bart 2-0 -118

Eala 2-0 -170

4-2 yesterday with 3 matches pending brings us to 17-9 so far.

Jpeg u20.5 & TT ML -101

Sabalenka u17.5 -145

Keep it up.
