Anyone watching? Thoughts? Kotov served for the first set at 6*-5 but the betfair exchange had 'a strong feeling' that Karatsev would break back and take the TB. And guess what they got that right.
Karatsev broke Kotov twice and raced to a 7-6 3*-0 lead. Guess the odds for the 1,60 prematch favourite now that hes leading by a set and two breaks?
Nothing wrong with Karatsev (atleast i didnt notice anything) - running all the dropshots and serving aces. Started acting injured out of nowhere, had MTO and retired.
The market believed all the way Kotov would win the match eventually. He was 1,7 down a break and 1,78 down two breaks so its not like they noticed him get hurt at 3-0.
Most bookies suspended live-betting for this match very early.
As far as the match vs Kotov, some bookies would pay out bets on Kotov since their rules don't take into account who retired, rather who was the final winner. I'm guessing Karatsev knows pretty well which bookies do that lol
Djokovic - the expected winner, slam tally would be 20-18-17. Not much ruins, all of the big 3 fans would be okay with the outcome, I bet. The people wanting a new winner would be disappointed but not that much since Djoko is the king of AO.
Nadal - Fed fans in ruins since the gap is only one...
I cant believe what Im witnessing here. Lets first start of with cheating or unsportmanship, whatever you want to call it. Tennys hits an insane return just barely on the outer line.
Federer wasnt in position or remotely close to make that return, instead of applausing that amazing return he...
Very honest and specific.
So insightful with his re-collection of happenings.
In all his arguments with umps and interactions he comes across as such a logically intelligent person. Confident, cool person, even if clearly pissed here.
