Today's Tennis
I'll start one
Some absolutely bizarre activity on the Nottingham Challenger event between Juncheng Shang and Jacob Fearnley.
Match due to start at 11am, delayed by rain, but at 10.55 the prices went haywire. Fearnley went from trading at 1.45 to 1.99 with an £11,000 spike. It has been jumping around ever since .
Either there's an injury that traders have become aware of, or a bot has misfunctioned and triggered allsorts of chaos

This quality was present in Djokovic’s defeat of Alcaraz on Tuesday. Part of his greatness is the ability to learn an opponent mid-match, and only then to work his way up into the Novak Zone, that superhero filter where astonishing timing combines with preternatural agility, where there is suddenly no way of countering this furious, relentlessly fluid substance across the net.
It has been hard to concentrate on this in recent years. Post-Covid Djokovic has entered an awkward space, perceived as some kind of libertarian warlord-highwayman, and hostage to either blanket condemnatory rage or unquestioning hero-worship.
In reality the vaccine refusal wasn’t bound up in any coherent political thought. It was more a personal foible, related to his obsession with intake and purity. Djokovic has never condemned vaccines as an alien paedo-ring conspiracy, or talked about a global witch supremacy intent on chem-trailing the woke virus into your water supply.
Bravo.
