WTA Mexico

That was a pretty dominant win

I really like Kessler here. I've been following her since Wimbledon qualifying and felt like she had a chance to have somewhat of a breakout hard season. 

Getting taken to a 3rd set in her first match against the other American wildcard was a surprise but she bounced back well yesterday.

@bringit

 Excellent teamwork.  

CHOMP! CHOMP!

@wgomel21

Yep, we're back. Nice to start the day with two ladies who took the lead early and never looked back. Now these two get to face each other tomorrow. That should be fun.

@bringit

I am guessing Siniakova will still have the case of PMS. Stearns has been a little on edge this week as well. Excited to watch this cat fight. Smells like an Over to me.

@bringit

What is your line on Andreeva/ Sun. Line is inconsistent in a couple of books.

I'm seeing Andreeva +110 and it has been that for a few hours. Early this morning I saw +100 then -105 then later +110. My other book is at +100 which I think was the opening line

@bringit

 DraftKings has her at +110, my book -115 

Andreeva

Cat fight Over

@wgomel21

 As far as Siniakova-Stearns, Kat does play a good number of 3 set matches so that's a case for the over. Some of those matches are against really bad players and she inexplicably allows them to win a set, and some are matches against better players but she's able to take a set. The over very well could be the play but I'm not sure. Kat has been a hot mess for a month now. First she lost to that 16 year old at home. Then she went to the Olympics and lost in straight sets as a favorite in the first round to Burel. Then in Cincinnati she plays a great set against Kalinskaya before getting destroyed the next two sets. Then here she's played two underwhelming matches against lesser opponents. But she does deserve some credit for winning those matches as she really turned it on when it really mattered at the end of both.

As for Stearns, I just really like her right now and I think she might win the tournament. I wasn't able to watch anything after the first set in her first match so I don't know what happened in the second set when she lost 1-6. But I've seen her in the past show a willingness to tank a set after getting down so that could be a possibility. I was impressed with her yesterday though as I have been for most of her matches over the past few weeks. She had a rough draw at hometown Cincy against Badosa but I think that could have been a much tighter match if Stearns didn't come out a little tight and nervous in the first set. But she has a chance to redeem herself in another home state tournament.

I feel like I like Stearns too much to recommend the over as its possible this one gets ugly for Siniakova. And if both players maintain their same levels from this week that's exactly what will happen.

There weren't really any heavy favorites in Cleveland today but all the matches have been boat races. 6-2 6-1, 6-4 6-2, 6-2 6-2

@bringit

 No doubt you know how we like to follow trends too.

@bringit

 Since we differ on the late match, do you mind giving me a little something to think about. 

Stearns to join the boat race? Currently at -3.5 games even

@wgomel21

 You talking about the Noskova match? If you like Svit I wouldn't let that deter you. I barely looked at that one this morning and it was definitely the pick with the least degree of confidence.

Andreeva is at -105 now on draftkings. Been looking out for Bjorn to post a Sun pick all day but haven't seen it yet so maybe that's a good sign

@bringit

No not playing it just curious what you are seeing that I am not seeing. We hit Andreeva today it will be a nice recovery.

@bringit

 Sun + Busta | 2.7 | 3 units his post from earlier. He is on Sun.

@wgomel21

 yeah you're right, he posted really early

The saw running in the background is driving me nuts. 

This is my opinion and play. Not sure if boss man is feeling it though.

@bringit

 Not liking the Sun burn at the moment. Stuck with the Over.
