Tennis Talk 2026: Vol 7 (Dubai, Santiago, Acapulco, Austin, Merida)

Woah! Kypson beat de Minaur.

didn't see that coming after he survived the second set and then went up a break

Most reliable player/flat track bully in ATP with some shocking losses against the likes of Collignon and now Kypson.

served for it as well. mug. in reality he was well beaten with kypson winning three quarters of all points on serve

was only kypson potentially choking that would have saved him

that serve stat for kypson is remarkable btw. three quarters of points won on first serve fair enough you might say, but three quarters on second against a returner like de minaur is almost suspect

linette having a shocker against kasintseva who seems to have nine lives this week. 0 of 3 bps saved and that's what will cost her the match

classic mugda

yep. got back on serve due to kasintseva choking serving for it after holding serve easy the rest of the set, and then gets broken to lose anyway. hopeless.

every point was a coin toss on her serve anyway so she really cant complain. dismal performance against another dismal player who's having all the luck this week so far

What a mug Foki!
Ruud, de Minaur, Zverev all out, great chance for him to finally win his first title, then crashes out in straights against Italian Dolgopolov.

Monfils 3.9 start odds against Vacherot. How things have changed.

unreal caramba. vacherot used to struggle in challengers

Emma Raducanu Reunites with Former Coach Mark Petchey for Indian Wells
Last updated
11 minutes ago
The British No. 1, ranked No. 25, split with her previous coach last month and will now work informally with Petchey, a BBC pundit and ex-player who coached her for four months in 2025. During that time, she posted a strong 20-10 record, better than her career average. Fans appreciate their courtside chemistry from old photos, though some wonder if a temporary setup provides the consistency she needs after nine coaches since her 2021 US Open win. Petchey enters with experience from coaching Andy Roddick, as Raducanu eyes a deep run on the hard courts where she's succeeded before.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

Only temporary, but a step in the right direction.

Zahrova Lumper won't be happy with that 1st set

lol atmane got a point penalty on mp for too many time violations

yeah, very funky way to end a match. Never seen that one before.

Rublev loses the set and his odds go to 1.1 as Griekspoor calls the trainer again.

tap hopefully incoming

meds kick in and recovery seems very plausible atm, movement marginally getting better

I am in a good position so I was able to do some Rublev 2.5/Griekspoor 6 arbs to lock in some profit. I would be surprised if we don't see a tap. But he'll fight as long as he's holding/being competitive.

I wish I had the legs of tennis players. When mine hurt, I'm sidelined for days, I'm not able to be competitive at tennis matches 5 mins later.

Yeah, it's quite the phenom their powers of recovery !

Not good for these backers

looking despondent and calling the trainer again just after winning the 1st set clearly spooked the market. Then going 0-40 right away on top of that.

Still think there's a chance of a tap a break down in the 3rd, but looking ok for now.

And Rublev already threw away one set, so could easily do the same in this set.

I would be a little annoyed cause I have almost all my green on Rublev, and bonus if Tallon taps.

Guaranteed a TB now.

d) Sub 1.1 Rublev backers when TG was downing pills so clearly not immediately tapping

yeah, those were muggier than me so I downgrade myself to 4).
At least ended with a profit.

you do wonder what happens if Tallon is broken to love in game 1 of set 2 while in that state instead of coming back from 0-40 to win that game.

sounds like he was gonna tap if he lost the 1st set.

Yeah. Rublev has done exceptionally well not to get the W there

DJ playing Elton John's "I'm still standing" as Bouzkova hobbles and calls for the physio.

Boulter 1.01 busted !

crazy that they tried to run a challenger in UAE this week and ended up having to cancel the whole thing as matches were happening because an air strike siren went off
