My favourite time of year is here, and it's baking hot weather the first week, with court temperature that could get above 35+ degrees, second week expected to be cooler.

Can't be backing Novak with barely any court time at his age, think Prizmic will overcome Fonseca then Novak again and possibly reach the final, though I would hope Djokovic could roll back the years instead with now only one from Sinner and Alcaraz to knock out.

Joder and Kostyuk I'm expecting deep runs from. Marta is at her peak ranking of 15th in the world and completely undefeated on clay, 11-0, whilst most of them were mugs, Andreeva, Pegula and Noskova certainly weren't.

As you can see after 16 years on the forum, I'm still mastering the bold function.

Some interesting picks there, Mes.

Cobolli quarter winner stands out to me so I'm def having a bit of that.
Prizmic I can see the logic at that price, but I'm not convinced he can beat Joker in a best of 5.

The only serious bet I've had so far is a lay of Rybakina to win her quarter at 2.46. Looks much too skinny and I have to take that on.

Good luck with your bets.

Thanks, but with Novak, he hasn't played much this year at all, pulled out of a few tournaments with physical injuries and has just turned 39, but it's the draw as well, he'd have to get through either Fonseca/Primic followed Ruud in round 4, that'll consume a lot of energy especially on the most physical surface. Come through that and he'd probably be drained.

Wouldn't be surprised if he withdrew at some point and saved himself for Wimbledon which really he should do. That's his biggest chance left of number 25, especially as Alcaraz wont be there.

Quarters Winners - Cobolli @ 9.5, Kostyuk @ 6, Andreeva @ 2.75
Losers: 18 other selections

Potential Winners: Andreeva @ 11, Kostyuk @ 29 and Cobolli at 200/1

Either Andreeva or Kostyuk will at least be in the final, where they'd be favourite.

Running at a loss of -2.75, need one of the 3 potential winners above to finish in the black.

With level stakes, the thread is now showing a profit of +6.25pts

Outright Winners: Andreeva at 10/1
Quarters Winners - Cobolli @ 9.5, Kostyuk @ 6, Andreeva @ 2.75
Losers: 19 other selections

Potential Winners: Cobolli @ 200/1 - at least he'll be very fresh for the final.


I finished 5th in the WTA Bracket comp out of 731 brackets, 44 Round 1 correct picks.
Currently 37th in the ATP bracket comp out of 1526 brackets, 45 Round 1 correct picks - can't finish any higher as I had Zverev as runner up. Will sink a bit if he wins but not much, 42 people predicted he'd win the French Open.

Still can't get better than 47 Round 1 picks.

Well played mes. Good solid picks.

Traded some green on Cob from that price?
Report mesmerised June 7, 2026 1:49 PM BST
nah the outright picks are just side bet interests for the tournament, I let them run, here for the tennis match markets primarily.

Fair enough, must admit I'd be tempted by some green from a 200s starting point...

Cobolli just fell short but 200/1 shot to get to the final and lose in 5 sets, was as close as it was ever gonna get. +5.25pts overall
finished 46th from 1526 brackets in ATP after Zverev's win, following on from 5th out of 731 brackets in WTA.

Kind Regards.
