Yup. I backed Molcan to win and was constantly looking at my phone at work every couple of mins for a few seconds at a time checking the scores. He laid an egg in set 2 though.

I wasn't shocked at the news quite frankly.

Since Vajda has taken over as his coach, Molcan has been improving, despite the egg being laid in set 2

He really has. Was worried he was fried from heat exhaustion when I saw how fast set 2 went and he went down a break early in set 3 also but thankfully righted the ship. Have Lehecka to beat Ruud as a long shot also. Not sure if the postponed match will be good or bad. I'll cash out if it's not going well for him.

Watched highlights there and Molcan's drop shot on match point was class. Coric is playing very well since his injury comeback too. Could be a good one and tough to call between those 2.

It will be an interesting match, I will favor Coric just...no my betting days are over

Mine are only all €10 each lately but I deviated from that and had €15 yesterday and got back €342 on a tasty double.

Congrats to Thiem on his first straight set win of the year.

Surprised he's not playing Hamburg w/ the top dogs.
