Tennis Talk 2021: Vol 14 (Geneva, Lyon, Parma, Belgrade)

website*

have you checked your settings to see that you haven't blocked their exchange by mistake?

I've done nothing. it's totally bizarre. I went out and then when I got back I made some food and then tried looking at the tennis markets and wouldn't load, blank white page. Repeat for the last 2 1/2 hours

go to settings
website settings (or similar)
pop-up windows and redeirections
next on allow, click on add and type in the exchange address.

hailmary but could work.

*next to allow

turn off your router and then turn it back on (or unplug and replug the internet cable)

or wait for edy.

caramba I knew what you said wouldn't work but I did it anyway. didn't do anything

rude! there was a chance.

well done Shapo. Two wins in one day.

edy, on a scale of 0 (BF Helpdesk advice) to 10 (edy), where did my advice rank?

.

ok so here's the moment of truth. I turned it off for a good 5 minutes and made a cup of tea and a small snack. let's see if this changed anything..

changed nothing, still doesn't work

dunno 3 or something, at least you were trying

have you cleared cache & cookies (I know it's super annoying advice, but sometimes it does work)?

The updates include the staging of the BNP Paribas Open
The ATP has today announced updates to the 2021 ATP Tour Q4 provisional calendar, including the staging of the BNP Paribas Open, the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells, California.

This year’s edition of the BNP Paribas Open, postponed from its customary dates in March due to COVID-19, is now intended to take place in October, for 2021 only.

Elsewhere, the Stockholm Open, originally scheduled to run in Week 42 alongside the VTB Kremlin Cup (Moscow) and European Open (Antwerp), will now take place from 7-13 November in the same week as the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan.

The ATP continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in assessing the provisional Q4 calendar, including the three-week sequence of events in Asia, in order to ensure optimised player flow. Further updates, including confirmation of tournament dates and draw size for the BNP Paribas Open, will be communicated in due course.

Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP Chairman, said: “Since the resumption of the Tour in August 2020, we have had to take an agile approach to the calendar with the aim of staging as many of our events as possible. Everyone in our sport has missed the BNP Paribas Open over the past two years and its return this October is great for tennis. The calendar is extremely complex and I would like to thank all events in that section of the season, as we look to accommodate these changes for the benefit of the overall sport.”

In other tournament news, the ATP 250 New York Open has this week announced its relocation to Dallas, Texas, from 2022.

Can you open the exchange site on your mobile phone (or another computer)?

works on mobile, don't have another computer here with me and my Samsung tablet is broken since the screen randomly decided to stop displaying

I've done it once but going to try again, see if that changes anything

if you already did after the issues it likely won't help :(

Can you open it in a private browing windows on your computer? Preferrably with add-ons disabled (which is the default for private windows, but if you ever changed it to allow them....disallow them)

Doesn't work in private browsing either. Didn't change anything by clearing all cookies & cache thoroughly

huh...

this issue reminds me of when my account statment was appearing blank for no reason, it wasn't listing any of the bets. then suddenly it came back after about 5 hours. I didn't do anything make it blank and I didn't do anything to make it come back to normal. I don't know what it was

it's an issue to do with Betfair

because I didn't do anything to cause a problem today, and it just suddenly doesn't work. so it must have been something they did

account statement*

I'm at a bit of a loss here, sorry...

could some service Betfair use be blocking me somehow?

check pm

Jon Wertheim @jon_wertheim
Hearing @WTA is committed to an 8-player year-end event regardless of fate of China swing. could still be shenzhen; but if not will be alternate site.

from Simona's twitter

Out of RG.

Was somewhat inevitable

Multiple Musetti brain cramps when serving for the match but recomposed himself to easily win the subsequent tiebreak

yeah, hardly unexpected.

if it wasn't for Tsitsipas, Musetti would have a great chance of winning his first ATP title this week.

Mac OS time!

Coco 1.2x seems very short after first hold.

Sloane 1.50 also looks very short.

Thinking about backing QW to get a set. Just hope she's got enough juice left after a 3 hour match yesterday.

Sloane undefeated in Parma!

Looks like Momoshiro's Jackknife.

rain in Geneva

play in Geneva

I see Sloane beat Sabine in the semi there.  Must have been way, way back.

Sure enough, it was

edy, did you watch?

no, u?

Wise, were you suitably impressed again with Gauff today ?

I'm not the one who has been scouting Rinderknech for years and years.

Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight

First set to Wang

Sloane Ranger making very hard work of winning a set from *5-1

oh boy

How is yous, Angoose?

Hunky Dory

She holds serving at 5-5 though, Wang to see if she can force a tiebreak now

Holds to love, we're getting a tie break.
Watch SS win it 7-0 now

Wang romps it 7-3, GSM

Before this week rolled around, Wang had gone something like 0-12 against top100 opponents since she beat Serena at the 2020 Australian Open. Has now beaten three top100 opponents here, on the clay of all places.

Quite possibly all attributable to the Parma ham

Tortellini filled with Parma ham like nonna made them always brings out the best in tennis players

Lyon courts look playable soon.

not anymore

that might be it, they don't have floodlights do they?

Venus and Opelka finally got their own thread on TF

.

Belgrade production sucks

First they keep showing highlights after you hear the umpire say the physio has been called. Then they only show from afar what has caused Konjuh's price to continuously drift.

Wow at how much the market thinks Konjuh is finished.

Seems absolute kamikaze to me.

I don't even know what's meant to be wrong with her.

Mac OS went from above 3s to like 1.6s during the MTO alone and I have no idea why.

Mainly because those shithead Belgrade producers never showed anything about the injury.

They're all out to get you

yeah!

Thigh apparently.

Market thinks she's less finished now down 4-2 than 2*-1.

From finish to two games away in the blink of an eye

Only to get broken to love

Might default the final

Well done Cori Gauff!

Another top performance from Coco.
Another step forward in her development.
Look out SW19

yeah. she's coming along nicely.

think the lack of crowds has done her good, as she's been able to focus on her tennis and not having to deal with CocoMania.

and a special thanks to Unibet, who gave me 66/1 for Wimbledon

Shapatava must be on nando's blacklist. None of her matches this week have been offered I think. Which is a bit weird because they even give limited offerings for the likes of Gabashvili.

Ana Konjuh retires, not wholly surprising given her comments after the semi-final

^this is why complete sentences are important.

Complete, informative, concise, and accurate

Tsitsipas digs himself out of a 0-40size hole in his opening service game 

Cobolli served for the match at 5-3 in the final set, was broken.

Giron served for the match at 6-5 in the final set, was broken.

Cobolli wins the final set tiebreak on a dead net cord winner.

Couldn't make that shot again if he tried

Good Afternoon all
