Coco Gauf is in great shape in the American series, having suffered one defeat so far against Paola Badosa in San Jose. Yesterday's match with Rybakina was of high quality, where, Gauff should have won in two sets, losing a victory in a tiebreak, but won the match Fans in Toronto love Coco very much, sometimes even more than local tennis player Bianca Andreescu. Sabalenka had a weak match yesterday. 16 double faults in 2 sets is pretty bad. Weakly shots - less than 50% on the first. And the feed is one of her main weapons. This is important, as Gauf will regularly be able to score points with active tricks. Sabalenka was able to win only due to an even more uncertain game from Sorribes-Tormo. 
Her season is a disastrous one and it is unlikely that in the upcoming game it will be able to impose a worthy fight.

My betting pick: Cori Gauff or Coco Gauff win 1.540 odds.

Preview of the match: Jiang Wang vs Viktorija Golubic
According to the odds on pinnacle: 1.523 on Qiang Wang's win, I bet on her.

In the second round of the WTA-125 tennis tournament in Concord a trip to the quarterfinals will be played between Jiang Wang of China and Viktoria Golubich of Switzerland. This is probably the most interesting encounter at this stage of the tournament.

Surface: Hard

Speed: 5/10

Current Van Rating: 110

Wang's win balance (2022): 25-15

Wang's win balance (hard): 18-8

Current Golubich rating: 91

Golubich (2022) Victory Balance: 17-19

Golubich (hard) win balance: 8-7

Statistical facts on Wang vs Golubic:
Jiang Wang has won six of her last seven matches on hard.

Victoria Golubic has won 11 of her last 12 matches at Challenger tournaments.

Face-to-face meetings between Wang and Golubic:
Viktorija Golubic was stronger in her only face-to-face encounter on the courts at the 2019 Indian Wells Masters (7-5, 6-1).

Jiang Wang vs. Viktorija Golubic:
Jiang Wang is in very good shape and ready to return to the top 100 as early as next week, but in order to do so, she needs a successful performance on the local courts. In the first round the experienced Chinese player left no chance for Georgian Mariam Bolkvadze (6:1, 6:2).

Victoria Golubich played more than three hours against young Ashlyn Kruger and was hanging on a thread, but pulled out the match on experience (6:3, 6:7, 7:6). It became clear that the Swiss entered hard into the hard court, and then wait for the rivals much more difficult than the young American.

Perhaps a cummet with (1:5) in the decisive set against Kruger will give a lot of positive emotions to Victoria Golubich, but in fact there is no other arguments in her favor against Wang. The Chinese had a great run in Prague, reached the semifinals, and she is determined to fight for the title here in Concord. We're leaning toward Jiang Wang.

I forgot to post today's pick. Actually, today in India we celebrate Raksha Bandhan ( brothers and sisters festival) wherein sisters tie an amulet(rakhi) piece of thread on their brother's wrist. The brother is required to give the sister a gift hehe. So, I was completely busy on it. ;))

SHARKS VS RAVELACOES

SHARKS:

Ranked 94th in the world, this team is regarded as one of the most consistent and probably one of the better teams you can bet on. Currently on a 4 winstreak with most of the work and foundation laid out by their carry - lucaozy . HOWEVER, this match their mvp wont be playing in it but rather an unknown 'TBA' player hence they are not the favorite! 

RAVELACOES:

Wait... what? I can't seem to find any information on this team... all I know from the details given on those shady sites and through fans is that these players are pretty well known and overall very good. I figure that these guys formed a new team together from their old ones (individual stats are very high) but I don't have enough information to fully make out if they stand a chance or not. They did have a lot of scrims and practice as told by their manager.

 

MY PREDICTION:

Without lucaozy, can the SHARKS still win? Probably not, it all depends on their substitute if they can fill the gapping hole left by luca...

Anyways, good odds for SHARK so bet on them! More experience together as a team = win! Only need the substitute to do well and frag.

Match is between Alison Riske and Yulia Putintseva.

=> Alison Riske will win 2.14 odds

Alison Riske, after the failure in San Jose, gathered herself a little and gave out two thrillers against Kvitova and Ostapenko. In both matches, Riske was an underdog, but in the third set she managed to put the best and win. Now she is no longer such an obvious underdog against Putintseva. On hard, Riske has 19 matches and 11 wins this season, she is in good shape, so it is quite possible that she will improve her performance in the coming months. For Yulia Putintseva, the clay is a more comfortable surface. There she won the many tournaments for herself, but on hard she can’t win anything for about 10 years lol. In Toronto, she went two matches. she knocked out Badosa recently which was surprising. I think Riske is far better than Putinseva so taking risk on her.

TAKING RISK ON RISKE LOL.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Gael Monfils and Jack Draper First, I will tell you my tip, then I will explain the preview of the match and the reason behind picking the bet. My betting pick is Gael Monfils will win 1.75 odds which is available on Pinnacle.

1. Gael Monfils missed two months due to a foot injury. Gael's return to the court turned out to be quite good. Immediately, he managed to get to the third round in Montreal.
2. Monfils went through Pedro Martinez (7-6, 3-6, 6-2) and Maxim Cressy (7-6, 7-6) in the tournament bracket. 
3. Gael demonstrates quite a good level of tennis.
4. Draper made it to the main draw of the tournament in Montreal through qualification. 
5. In the selection, Jack beat Roberto Marcora in two sets and passed Kanten Gali on refusal.
6. In the main draw, he scored victories over Hugo Gaston (6-2, 6-3) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-5, 7-6). We know that this season Draper has already won four trophies - three times he won the challenger in Forli and once in Saint-Brieuc. But still Monfils in overpowered and I think he will defeat Draper.

NFL

observation- If neither veteran starting quarterback sees a snap - and they shouldn't - this game should come down to a second half entirely made up of snaps from players down the roster. Baltimore has a 20-game preseason win streak. I would kindly respond that, while impressive, it means absolutely nothing on Thursday night. In fact, that streak only boosts the value of anyone playing Baltimore, However i feel they will still not lose but maybe have a lil trouble scoring in the second half but will show up the first half to secure the W. Tennessee is a huge underdog  and since its a preseason game, they will try new players and defenders which never ends up well.

Prediction is Baltimore  to win at 1.51 (pinnacle)
