I supported Hubert Hurkacz because I am Polish and he is my compatriot. Today, unfortunately, he lost in the quarterfinals to Daniil Medvedev, somewhat at his own request, after a good, even game and a five-set battle of attrition. As for the winner, it is known that there are two main favorites: Alcaras and Djokovic. I predict that experience will win and Djokovic will have another Grand Slam title on his account.

And yesterday, in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, one of the main favorites, Alcaraz, was eliminated in the match against Zvierev. In general, I was surprised by the odds for this match and the odds, as much as 4.5 for Zvierev because h2h was in favor of the German 4-3. In my opinion, Novak Djokovic now has a way to win another Grand Slam title. Medvedev is tired from previous matches, same as Zvieriev. Well, unless Sinner causes a sensation, but I don't like him or his style of play.

And yet they both lost... Yesterday Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, and today Novak Djokovic with Janik Sinner in the semifinals, which was an even bigger surprise. And now I think that Janik Sinner will win in the final because he is less tired than Medvedev or Zverev. And in their match there will be another long match and probably a five-set match...

dule-vu it was exactly like that, and I bet on him for the fourth set and he lost and, as usual, the money went to waste... From what I watched the match, Novak Djokovic played tragically at times... If it wasn't him at all, and I didn't recognize him sometimes. In the fourth set, at 40-0, he lost the serve at his own request, and at 40-40 he made a double service fault.

Today is the final of the Australian Open between Jannik Sinner and the Russian Daniil Medvedev. How do you guess? because so far there have been a lot of surprises - the elimination of Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz. I bet on the Russian because even though he played more sets on the way to the final and would be more tired, he impressed me in the match against Zverev, turning the tide of the match from 0-2 to 3-2 in sets. And somehow I like it more, plus a much higher rate of 3.3.

dule-vu, come on, I was unlucky as usual. Medviedev led 2 to 0 and lost 2–3. As usual, I lost money at the bookmaker. He would have won if he had more strength... He didn't have enough power to finish the match. Sinner later improved his game, and the Russian was getting weaker by the minute and it was obvious that he was fighting with himself for survival. Unfortunately for me it ended the way it did... It's a pity I didn't counter when the score was 2 to 0...

Firstly congratulations for Sinner, to make comeback from 2:0 and to win on grand slam is a big deal. It was pleasure to watch the game and to see that level of tennis playing both players. I hope Medvedev will return stronger from this event and will learn his lessons.

It was a great return to the match and Janik Sinner won, probably because I was betting on the Russian... As always, for some time now I have been very unlucky in sports betting, casinos or poker and I can't win anything specific... For a long time now , I'm just losing money, which annoys me a lot, but that's life, what can I do... Maybe fate will turn around for me one day and I'll have better luck in the future....
