Final week before Roland Garros is here.
Garbine Muguruza is trying to vulture Rabat, and Thiem and Medvedev are both hoping to get some clay matches in in Geneva, but other than that no big names in action.
We will find out early this week if Betfair will stream French Open at all. I think it's either yes or no rather than streaming the men and not streaming the women.
Happy betting, gambling and arbing.

depends. If he wants future commentary gigs, getting a fixing ban won't help him.
But if a player sees no future in the sport, there are players who opt for a final big pay cheque as the only punishment is often a ban which won't hurt them if they intend to retire anyway.

The bets were reportedly concentrated in three online markets which originated in Cyprus, Armenia and Ukraine.

Hipster analysis update

This Cachin Kotov match is massive as regards who takes the spoils in the mens.
If Kotov hangs on then the only way Mes catches Edy is Frantangelo to win and Ritschard to lose.
If Danilovic wins the final set WW wins but if Tomova wins N88 is still hanging grimly off the cable car with blood on his mouth.
