I think the last slam of the year deserves a thread of it's own
Novak same half as Alcaraz, Carlo's draw to the Semi's is very soft maybe bar home fave Shelton in the quarters.
Zverev looks good for another Slam final looking at his cakewalk draw.
Sabalenka has a pretty clean run to the Semis, where Svitolina or Muchova will probably be waiting.
Bottom half has Andreeva / Iga / Osaka / Rybakian / Gauff
It's been a long jounrey, but let's hope Sorana's last ever slam goes well and she's not dumped out by some mug.
Kind Regards.

Sori does it like you're supposed to. Announce it ahead of the season, have a full year of soaking in the cheers, enjoy it and play relaxed. And not leave fans wondering. Same with Gael, Stan etc on the men's tour.
A bit annoying that half of today's WTA matches will be done withing the next hour or so.
These were at least three interesting matches too.
especially considering there's not really any interesting mens matches on today
I wonder what players are doing on these Tactical Toilet breaks, are they standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom slapping themselves on the cheeks to wake themselves up or just sitting down wondering wtf is happening
tennis stadiums usually not packed like this at 11 am.

Maybe Sabalenka's silly tiktoking actually brings eyeballs to tennis.

I wonder if Sorana would play another year if she won the US Open
She's been quite clear that the decision is final, despite playing better tennis than ever before.
She must be of strong principles because she's leaving a lot of money on the table, by not playing next year with that ranking and form. But I can respect that.
She must be of strong principles because she's leaving a lot of money on the table, by not playing next year with that ranking and form. But I can respect that.
I would prefer if she did actually retire this year, as realistically, it's not going to get better than this year, a good way to out, finally breaking top 20 after all these years. She has a big hitting game, always felt there was at least 1 slam semi in her.
There was more than that at Wimbledon this year 
Pegula shaking at the prospect of facing Sorana which explains here losing to Leylah
But yeah as a fan, her staying true to her plan will be the best ending instead of going out with a whimper when injuries or Father Time take a toll on her.
Just saying that it must be tempting to carry on for financial reasons. But I don't think she'll do that.

Think she will, must have enough money in the bank never to have to work again, can coach or start an academy as well, though will probably start a family.
Men more likely to retire as harder toll on their bodies, and in slams, they have the daunting idea of pushing possibly 5 sets on a niggle.

I am doing what I did before, in a slightly limited ability as they only allow me to bet at Slams and even that with restrictions. So I'll be here 12 weeks per year including qualies as long as they don't put me on further restrictions.
Awesome. So you're basically the Novak Djokovic of arbing now 
It's frustrating to have to scale down because I like my wettquotens.
But I have been thinking about scaling down to around 100 days per year rather than working 350 days per year for a long long time, but the day to day wettquotens were always too good for me to give up.
But now that it's been forced upon me it's easier. So maybe it's a good thing in the end.
I'm still working out the details, but the plan is to work what I can which is the big events which are the Slams, golf majors, some NFL mainly the playoffs, plus one-offs like big boxing fights, Euros and WC and US presidential elections.

Why did they suddenly limit you after all these years?
I was disappointed Draftkings pulled out of the UK, I was starting to get good at NBA, the football on there was useless, the big money was in the American sports.

they don't tell me these things. Probably change of management.
That's a lack of courtesy imo as long term customer.
Carlos has had 3 tee ups so far so hard to know where he's really at, Paul first half decent test

well sure, but this business is like no-other when it comes to customer service. This place no exception, they ban edy from the phorum and still won't tell him what he did wrong. Did they other get back to you about those disappearing posts?
peak Zverev might have been a threat, but with him struggling against journeymen I don't see who will bother Carlos. Maybe Fritz if he's back to his peak level, I haven't watched him, but scorelines have looked impressive.
no, that was weird, they were perfectly normal posts that contained no banned words, yet they were both deleted in nano seconds for no apparent reason, I have no idea why.
When they suspended me for 30 days, the treatment was ridiculous, they did not tell me what I was banned for, did not tell me how long for, and did not send me any kind of message whatsoever, I had to go out of my way to email them to ask those questions, even then at first I was met with a counterflow email, had to keep knocking on their door to get answer, only then did they tell me.
I can't imagine what edy could have said that would have warranted a lifetime ban, I can only assume the moderator which read whatever post of his that was reported, did not understand the context of the discussion, as that was the case with me.
I wonder what the top brass would make of moderators banning customers from their forum platforms who've been here 15-20 years, I doubt they have any idea.

Big win Emma. She's been showing some great glimpses of late
Not only that, when you are suspended/banned, you don't even have the ability to read the forum, you're just met with a huge white blank space, at least I was, you have to log out to read it. Poor way to treat long term customers.
I have Navarro reaching the quarters in my draw, losing to Peculiar Pegula
They killed the forum. They could have developed it into a really cool social and interacting place, but they did the opposite.
They've even messed with uploaded images recently, you can no longer post an 'large image', I've tried in labs chat but no longer works, removing 'thumb' no longer works either.
Really archaic forum that has had no significant upgrade since they introduced Live View 15 years ago or so.

When I studied marketing, we learned that things like a forum was a good way to deepen the relationship between the company and the customer because it encourages them to stay on the platform and strengthens customers loyalty to the brand. Sadly Betfair just sees the forum and its contributors as a nuisance these days.

Real lack of star quality amongst any of the male players playing today.

Poor Flavio here

market always so predictable in these cases.
Flavio was not gonna tap here. Yet market takes opponent down to sub 1.1 only to go back to 1.16 just for Flavio taking court again.

Not entirely sure, something seemed off and then lost the next set 6-0

Yeah. They never learn thankfully ?
nice for me to when it happens this way, because I can arb my way out of a red on a struggling player.
Does Cobolli think he can win this slam playing 4-5 sets every match
Poor Fritz. Crowd don't seem that bothered about a US player, their best chance of a home sleep winner, getting beat from 2 nil up
Fritz has been the last Taylor standing at every US Open since 2020 but that streak is now in danger.
this could be a brutal 24 hrs for the US players.
Serena & Venus, Amanda, Madison, now possibly Fritz.

great chance for winner of Mensik/Tien to make semis, but who knows with all this muggery.
That Fritz exit felt very likely after the third.
If it wasn't for Sinner and Alcaraz, this would very much feel like the post Sampras/Agassi - Pre Federer/Nadal era, where the likes of Hewitt and Roddick popped up with a slam here and there. Zverev needs to make Hay whilst the sun shines with Jannick out and Alcaraz maybe not at full fitness, fancy Shelton to make the final from here.
Those two and the occasional signs of like from Djokovic keeps the perception of this era strong, but the depth is not there. The likes of Tsonga, Ferrer, Berdych, Davydenko, Wawrinka, Nalbandian would play circles around Cobolli, de Minaur and Felix.
Blockx 1.14 looks skinny given Flavio might be staging one of his famous comebacks
The fact that Novak on his last legs is still top 5 despite being very much a part timer is quite telling. Compare that to Agassi in 2005/2006 who while still being a tremendous player was nowhere near such a ranking.
Exactly. Novak should have been forced into retirement long ago but the competition is just too weak.
yep, Delpo and Murray as well, even prime Cilic and Thiem.
I don't normally buy on to theories like this, but I wonder if Coco will be extra nervous now with all the other Americans flopping.

but Bucsa is not good, so it would take some epic mugging for this to happen.
Felix is the 4th best player in the world going by the rankings, but never made a slam final and never won a masters, won three 500's.
Definitely hope with Fonseca. Would love it if he became that player that truly pushed Sinner and Alcaraz (assuming they both stay fit)
I was biggin' up Fonseca for ages, not where I thought he'd be by now.
Draper would definitely be mixing it with Sincaraz if it werent for injuries. That needs to be a trilogy otherwise it will be boring for the next 10 years if it was just those two.

I'd say Fonseca has had a good year before the injury.
Had that match where he really pushed Sinner.
Then the comeback against Djokovic at Roland Garros. Always possible to overrate wins against Nole, but I thought he was good that day and it takes big balls to beat him in such a match.
