This thread has recently blown up with posts which is great to see as at one stage it was just myself, Kemarit and one or two other guys posting in here. I'm really liking Alex de Minaur in the Sydney International to maybe go all the way and win the tournament, he has been playing some very good tennis coming off a very successful 2018 so I think he has a big chance at winning.
Exactly, nice to see this thread come to life again with so many fans and not just fans but offering a lot of tips and analysis of the game. As a have said before, Alex de Minaur is the future of Australian tennis and it will be just a matter of time for him to be the a future Grand Slam winner.
Nadal was in action last night in the fast4 tennis event where he was up against Kyrgios, Nadal ended up losing the match but it gave him a chance to get some fitness up ahead of the Australian Open. It looked like he got through the match okay so hopefully he will be right for the Australian Open, I'm not sure if he will be 100% fit but even at 80% Nadal is a tough person to beat.
Bad sign, it only shows that he is not fully recuperated and might need some time to heal this body. Again, he is not getting any younger, might be another reason why his body is slow to react to rehab or medicine. Might be good for him to take some time off and let his body healed 100%.
Off topic: Glad to see you back on Bitvest campaign.Big Rafa Nadal fan here but money is money, I will bet against him at the Australian Open, he will not go deep in my opinion.
Otherwise, for tomorrow, I love the odds of Diego Schwartzmann @ 1.73 to beat Guillermo Garcia Lopez. The latter is pretty much done as a player, in relative terms, the reason of those odds is probably the fact that the Spaniard has played several matches this season, while Diego Schw. has played none so far. Also, the Argentinean can be inconsistent when he is short of energy (his game requires a lot of energy!) but at these odds 1.73 no brainer for me, I'll play it and hope it hits tomorrow.
