Been a race against time with the new beta\scoring but looks like I will be able to get some sleep and let the bot do a bit of the work

Djoker through easy.

Reasonably predictable and understandable that there will be plenty of sour grapes from first round losers about hotel quarantine.

Be interesting if there are more than the usual number of upsets and 1.01 turnovers.

Nadal is nursing a 'tight back' so might be worth keeping an eye on later

Looks like its been factored into the outright market price but he's had the kinder draw compared to Djokovic so if he can shake it off there might be value in backing him after a couple of matches., he says its nothing serious just a tight muscle.

Like you say though the AO isn't his best tournament.

I imagine some money was spunked on Konta - wins the 1st set against a qualifier, then retires injured in the 2nd set

[Euler]

I wasn't watching that match and would be interested in knowing what price Konta was

[Euler]

Twitter tells me 1.18-1.20

Kyrios match shows you what we are missing without any crowds.

[gazuty]

Players often talk about feeling the energy of the crowd.

[Euler]

Enjoyed that

Good match that Kyrgios-Umbert!
Courts faster this year, and also hot conditions the next days.

"In his post-match press conference, Thiem discussed the court surface. He revealed that the general consensus between the players is that the court is considerably faster than last year.

“Everybody I talk to is saying that the surface is very fast, way faster than last year.”

Djokoivc seemed annoyed about the change in his post match interview.
