US TENNIS OPEN

It was pretty bad, continuing into the presentation.

When does the men's final start? I thought the finals were at night but if the women's is already over that can't be right.

The US open Finals were superb. The form ran true for those who punched above their market expectation , throughout the lead up matches.

A few who faltered from the 1st round , finally not making the final , included , Federer, Barty , Halep , "The Twin " .
Both Finals were made up of very consistent Players who thoroughly deserved their positions.

Hard to believe that our Nick beat Medvedev at their last 2 meetings. But that was 3 set tennis and that's Kyrgios's go. Nick's best chance of winning grand slams is a sex change.

She might go alright when she gives away the doubles to concentrate on singles.

Beaten in a US Open final yesterday, won it last year.

I agree Bob, Barty seems to struggle in too many matches. >For all that she is a profitable punt.
Stosur has a poor backhand & the better players work her out , She is best suited at the provincials now days.
I'm expecting Belinda Bencic to lift , next time up.

Ashleigh Barty grand slam record.

Little worse than someone who seeks to damn a champion with faint praise. Dead

Yes she may not win another major, however you can bet your bottom dollar she'll be competitive at the top level for quite some years yet, and possesses the nous to quit when she's had enough.

ps there are well over 50 one-slam wonders in tennis, so she and Stosur hardly stand alone.

SC, I am a realist. Barty is a great role model for younger tennis players and will continue to give her all to win matches but I doubt, with so many women players of equal ability on the tennis circuit, she will retain that No 1 for much longer and find it difficult to win another grand slam event.

She has a significant lead in the YTD points total. With no more grand slams and only a couple more of the top level tournaments left there is a good chance she holds the #1 ranking for a while yet. Year end #1 likely comes down to the year end championship.

$US 5,995,292 YTD Prizemoney not too shabby.

That’s the rolling 12 month rankings. Lead is bigger on the YTD race.

Deserves it too Sir .    Fascinating to do the tennis stats , Opens the eyes to some very relevant facts .

   Barty has the enviable record this season of having started fav on 52 occasions , 2nd choice in only 4 .... A punters dream , showing a 700 unit profit.

   Medledev 54/13 for 450 profit. Full of merit.

   Andreescu topped the punt, of course . with 31/14 for over 1800 profit, but injury set backs had her at longer prices in a terrific rise to fame.

We can do worse than having a stable of these reliable conveyances .
Avoid the real short prices as too many get beaten.
I note, most of the Champions at the usual prohibitive odds, fail to be high on the list as betting propositions.

Thanks for that Macca. Maria has always been one of my favorite sporting gals. She has legs that don't stop. LOL

Keep the "peter meter" in the trousers , oneone. Those ladies that set you alight, are dangerous cattle .

I wonder how many Apoplectic events they have caused by their sheer beauty.

If I knew where Sharapova. ( you know what ) > I'd go and roll in it .

Congrats Bob, almost certainly the first pointless, dikhead post in an otherwise excellent thread.
