Marco Topo is a young German who is quite a promising tennis player. This year it's 23/20 on all surfaces, but he love hard court more, 7/2 on hard. He made his way to the main draw of the challenger through qualification. In the first round of the main draw Girtz passed 231 atp. 7-6,6-1. On the first serve, 77%, moved well, and read the game. Radionov this year has won the challenger tournament in austria on clay. The Austrian is 35/32 this year, and 5/6 on hard. In the first round, He won easily in two sets. But in this game, opponent did not succeed, there was no serving, a lot of double and unforced errors .. I think that the mstch today will give a fight by both so I will bet on total.

My betting tip: total over 22,5 games 2.10 odds.

Preview of the tennis match: Tomasz Machak vs Dan Added

At pinnacle odds: 2.040 on under 19.5 games in match.

In the 1/8 finals of the hard-court Challenger in Grodzisk-Mazowiecki the ticket to the quarterfinals will be played between Tomasz Machak of the Czech Republic and Dan Added of France.

 

Surface: Hard

 

Machak's current ranking: 158

 

Machak's win balance (2022): 24-10

 

Machak (hard) win balance: 14-4

 

Current Added Rating: 290

 

Added win balance (2022): 44-23

 

Added win balance (hard): 24-8

 

Statistical facts on the match Machak - Added:

Five of the last six matches involving Tomas Machak on hard ended with a total of less than 21.5 games.

 

Dan Added won four of his last five matches on hard.

 

Face-to-face meetings between Machak and Added:

The tennis players will play a face-to-face match for the first time.

 

Tomasz Machak - Dan Added:

Both tennis players won confidently at the start of the tournament, and with the same score (6:3, 6:2). Tomasz Machak was stronger than Serbian veteran Miljan Zekic, and Dan Added outplayed Bosnian Mirza Basic.

 

The Czech is a higher-ranked player and clearly more talented than the Frenchman, but hasn't played on the open hard court since March. A match against Zekic, an aging mainland player, is no indicator at all. On the contrary, it can only relax the 21-year-old Maciek. He's unlikely to miss out on a win, but Dan Added, who has a lot of playing practice on hard court (20 matches in the summer), could cause problems for the favorite.

BIG SCYTHE VS 'W STREAK FEMALE'

W STREAK FEMALE:

Ranking 44th in FE Valorant, this team is to not be underestimated... even their name is announcing themselves as being really egotistic.  Claiming oneself to be so good as to go on a win streak is a big title yet they stay true in a way. Currently on a 4 win streak and have showcased themselves to very capable there is only 1 PROBLEM: Their duelist are INCREDIBLY inconsistent. 

They are meant to create space and get some frags to open up for their team but sometimes they don't do that job (well, the defenses in most of these FE teams are generally really weak so it doesn't create too much of a problem).

Also their win streak is coming from beating much weaker teams so I don't see the credibility 😐

BIG SCYTHE:

Ranking 49th, they are doing really well this season. Having beaten many teams, the only time they failed was in a recent match against W STREAK although a very close one.

The thing I like about this team is that each member gives their all and contribute (NO CARRY) so everyone in this team is pretty much equals. When one is doing bad, I can see that they change tactics to become much more passive instead of committing to their normal aggressive playstyle.

OVERALL:

- Great use of utilities

- Good coordination/teamwork 

- Aim? Could be worked on.

 

MY PREDICTION:

W STREAK is generally better but if their duelist does bad this match. It's pretty much a GG because they rely too much on them for kills. Betting on W STREAK is like playing hot potatoes.

So I predict BIG SCYTHE to win this match. Although in their recent match up just a week ago, it resulted in W STREAK victory only because of their duelist entry but recently, those same guys have been doing pretty bad.

Both teams won most of their rounds on the ATTACKING side since their DEFENCE is so WACK. None of the players holding site is able to stop the push at all and with W streak duelist being on a bad streak -

BIG SCYTHE has a good chance of winning.

=> Denis Shapooo wins 2.5 odds

I hope Denis won't let me down  today and win. He sat too long and beyond the second round, I already forgot when he left. More often he even flew off in the first and having failed the home tournament, he should at least make some noise here. He played the last meeting confidently and outplayed Dimitrov himself. Today is an even stronger opponent, at least he is in shape and plays at home, which means we are waiting for the fight. Plus, in personal 2-0 in favor of the American, and here you need to take revenge. Denis' serve went well, though there were a lot of doubles, but he's good on the back now too. In general, I believe in Shapovalov, because it's just time to start playing and return to our positions in the rankings. Paul is a completely passable opponent and makes few mistakes.

MLB

Colorado VS St Louis 

Observation-  Today i noticed that the over under on this game i way off, the last 3 times these 2 teams played each other the score was 5-4, 6-8 and 9-5. The over is set at 7 for some odd reason with the pitchers combined ERA of 4.5 and runs per game at 4.5 as well per teams, 7 seem extreamly low which give us really good odds to go higher. Germán Márquez pitching for colorado has a ERA of 5.0 and a career 4.3 ERA going up against Jordan Montgomery, he has a 3.3 ERA reg season and 3.8 Career ERA. The batting stats is whats telling me its going over , Colorado is first in on base percentage and first in batting average with 9, St louis is 6th in both those categories. Colorado is also 1st in hits per game with 9 as well. Both teams have over 100 homeruns and are very good at scoring setting the over under at 7 is silly! 

Prediction is over 8 at 2.38 pinnacle (good odds!)

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Francis Tiafoe and Sebastian Korda. 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 Francis Tiafoe to win 1.806 odds which is available on Pinnacle 

1. Tiafoe has always performed well on hard, but this season he is not impressive with the results. 

2. He has victories, but no championship titles. Francis played in the final of the competition in Estoril, but lost to Sebastian Baez.

3. Despite all the problems, Tiafoe won the first round match in Cincinnati. His opponent was Matteo Berrettini. Francis did not pay attention to the status of the opponent and beat him in three tight sets.

4. Korda's only successful tournament this season has been Estoril. In Portugal, the American reached the semi-finals.

5. In other competitions, Sebastian did not impress. In Washington the he reached the quarterfinals. After victories over Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Baes, he lost to Mikael Ymer.

6. Korda's first opponent at the Cincinnati tournament was Karen Khachanov. He beat Karen too confidently. The fight ended with a score of 6:3, 6:4 in favor of Sebastian.
