Wimbledon Final

Amanda Anisimova ML (+245) FanDuel 

LFGO

With the 30% boost on FanDuel it came out to +320. I like that value. Also sitting on a future at +1300 I took after the Noskova match.

I have never disagreed with you more :( but hope you are right

So sad to see Amanda play the way she did today.  I don't think she has the mental fitness to ever win a Grand Slam event.  That kind of stage is way, way, way too big for her.

Sorry that your value didn't come through for you!!!

US Open I think suits her better as hard courts do with many hard hitters (Saba, Pegula, Keys, etc) 

Expect to see her make a deep run, maybe back to the Final there

She got fkking blanked.  I don't think you can try and lose that bad!  Wtf horrible final

Insanity 

Embarrassing performance…hopefully she has the mental fortitude to bounce back.

She opened the tournament up with a double bagel (Putinseva) and was returned the favor in the final. Surely that has never happened in Grand slam history. I though Paolini got beat pretty bad at Roland Garros last year. Obviously this was much worse. 

The first game it was clear that there were major nerves. That's nothing unusual for players playing in the biggest match of their lives. What was unusual is that the nerves never seemed to subside. It was almost like watching the same game over and over. 

I'm sure she will bounce back and have more slam opportunities in the future though. She's young and has already made at least the semis twice and now she's up to #7 in the world. It's been a pretty meteoric rise for her since coming back from her break. Her comeback really started on the North American hard courts last year so I have no doubt she'll be a contender again this summer.

Of course she will bounce back - at the end of the day a 6-0, 6-0 loss isn't any different than a 7-6, 0-6, 7-6 loss would be - and she has done really well this Wimbledon - also better than most would have expected before it started - of course this loss will sit in her for a while esp. the next few times she meets Swiatek (since this was also their first meeting) - but I agree that it should be gone in other matches more or less when US Open comes around - and as a player you learn a lot from losses like this - AND Swiatek is the better player (she is one of the best in the world) - losses like this mostly destroy players if they were expected to win the match coming in

Hmm it is difficult to call - because as you say a lot of players excel more on hard courts - while Anisimova might play better too - I think the opposition improves more changing surface - there are very few women playing at the moment where grass is their preferred surface - so I would actually argue that Anisimova's best chances the next few years will be at Wimbledon and if you take the finale out of the equation (where a lot of it was due to nerves) - she has been playing fine/good

 6-0 vs 7-6 is definitely huge mentally I would think as a competitor in any sport. A blowout is alot different than a close game as far as reflecting on one's performance 

 I can easily see why you could draw that conclusion 

BUT it actually affects most people more if they were close to winning ! - if she for instance had been up a set + break or close winning two tiebreaks etc and still end up losing - stuff like that - or what we saw with Dimitrov vs Sinner where he was up two sets and had to withdraw with an injury - if you never was close to winning - the brain actually pretty fast comes to term with it (esp. If you never was “expected” to win) - but it will of course sit in her for a pretty long time (a month or two) esp. When meeting Swiatek in the future - I wouldn’t suspect her winning even a set versus her the next 2-3 matches 

@Calde13

 I agree that it's much tougher when a player is basically about to win but then the nerves hit and they blow it. And a double bagel against Iga is just different. A lot of players would've been more concerned with serving the match out rather than breaking at the end. But Iga treats every single point against every player like she's saving match point. She's a different breed.

You have any leans on the men's final?

 If you held a gun to my head I would go with Alcaraz - but honestly I am in no position to say the market has priced that wrong :(

@Calde13

 I had no idea that Katerina was at risk of losing #1 if Osta won today. Kudermetova came through for us though to save the day lol.

Uhh nice
