2022 Grass season preview

A black sheep isn't a racist slur. That's not a racist statement Tsitipas

Of course and we know it but Kyrgios is the one who has taken in the wrong way, Black sheep is anyone with bad behavior, it doesn't matter the color of the skin.

It could make things difficult for betting though which is why any hacking would be a huge issue. I actually even noticed some score differences between Google, the match I was watching live online (those are often lagged a bit obviously) and tennis.com today with Medvedev v Mannarino so maybe they were getting in some practice. I'm talking completely messed up scores btw earlier when that match was on.

Interesting point. I also had a hard time with the live scores today. Won't effect the match, but could effect the betting. You could be on to something.

Murray barely won against Berrettini on outdoor hard court in Beijing in 2019 7-6(2) 7-6(7), whereas Berrettini beat him easily on both their respective best surfaces 6-3 6-3 at Queens last year. All of which makes this a head scratcher.

"Andy Murray will enter the match as the ultimate favourite after his spectacular win against World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios. Grass has always been Murray’s favourite surface and he is looking good in Stuttgart with back-to-back wins. Besides, in his matches with Tsitsipas and Kyrgios, he was seen making the most of his backhand which will prove to be a strong asset in his match with the Italian. Meanwhile, The Italian has a strong record on the grass, having won the Queen’s Club Championships as well as reaching the Wimbledon final the previous year. The 26-year-old is regarded as one of the best servers in the world, and he will intend to make the most of his potential. He also has a pretty strong forehand which can make things difficult for Murray.


Prediction: Andy Murray to win in two sets."

^ So Berrettini man handled him at Queens and made the Wimbledon final right afterwards and has a great serve and forehand and that's just brushed aside with Murray in 2?!

I better go to sleep but more analysis needed here before deciding on whether to back Murray to win or choose Murray to win a set for lower odds but a bigger stake (he may or may not even do that going by their last match) 'cos I know the Murray to win and Medvedev to lose double is a long shot!

Interestingly enough, Murray vs. Berrettini can meet up again in four days at the 2nd round of Queen's London tournament.

Quick fact, like I posted here before: If Murray wins tomorrow, he will be ranked 35th in the world this upcoming Monday. That means Murray will be more than likely be seeded at Wimbledon. So, if you are in the Top 8 seeds, you have a chance to meet Murray in the 3rd Round.

As for the other final, Medvedev will try to win his 1st title of the year (2nd on Grass) and 1st title since his US Open title win (has lost three consecutive HC finals).

Of course adding points to consolidate his return to the #1 ranking post Wimbledon.

Murray would qualifer as a WC wouldn't he being a former champion of Wimbledon?

To be fair, after Wimbledon, Medvedev has a total of 5,100 points to defend for the rest year. So, might as well add points as much as you can especially know you can't even play Wimbledon.

Yes, he would qualify as a WC at Wimbledon.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes, he would qualify as a WC at Wimbledon.

Thanks

True, but the irony is that of all the top players, Medvedev gains the most points-wise from the ATP stance on Wimbledon, “gaining” practically 2000 points over the person (Novak) closest to him in the ranking. He most likely couldn’t have done better even if he had actually won Wimbledon vis-a-vis Novak.

Just finished watching on replay the match between Rijhthoven aka The Red Baron vs FAA.

The Dutchman did have a dip in the 2nd set, but otherwise played very well.FAA did not play badly, outside of one poor service game when he was broken.It really was a match of the Dutchman playing well.Good for him as he was a WC in the tournament.

No Felix played poorly in the final set. He was dropping the ball short and two many UFEs against a Guy who have below average ground strokes. When you are in the top ten and playing a player who just won his first ATP match this week, losing is unacceptable.wasted opportunity by FAA. As I said he should be ashamed of himself. How do you go from giving Rafa the most competitive 5 set match in years at RG to losing to the unknown Dutchman.

I was talking overall in the match, FAA did not play a great 3rd set, still you have to give credit where it is due.Both players served well, The Red Baron is a good returner, frankly I thought the Red Baron held his nerve, this was an giant win for him
I dont think FAA should be ashamed of himself, it does happen, remember going from clay to grass is a challenge in itself
This was FFA first match on grass, coming off clay, I am certain he will play better in his next grass tournament

The Red Baron is running away with this final in the 2nd set. 6-4 in the first, and he's got 5-0 in the 2nd.

I just need Murray to play properly now to make me a nice profit!

So you went for it, then. Good luck. Murray down the early break in the first.

Yup, I'm hammering the live score refresh Hence, need Murray to play properly. Refreshing live in play on cash out and money is tripled already so I can cash out anyway if Murray doesn't get things going.

I want to see Murray win, sentimentally, but I hope he wins for you too. Matteo will be fine and sounds like he's ready to by Wimbledon. Oh, and Van Rijthoven just won his first title...just days after winning his first ATP match ever.

 

[Front242]

Looking like a pretty poor performance from Murray so far, lots of bad returns.
