=> Borna Coric win 2.460 odds.

Hello hello guys. A confident victory for Coric is expected. He went to the next level. the whole tournament he went for high odds. All matches went 2-0 except for Nadal. Alassimo didn't even give a single break point. A very confident game from Coric. The same Tsitsipas was able to break Isner. Compare the game at the reception of Isner and Coric. Odds should be exactly the opposite. Even yesterday Coric play outstanding tennis against Norrie.

Premier League again and I need to end my losing streak 😞 West Ham UTD V's Brighton & Hove Albion in the 14:00 kick off is the game I am going with. Brighton have made a pretty good start to the season with one win and one draw, West Ham on the other hand have started badly losing both of their opening games, so my pick goes against current form and head to head stats for the last 5 games between these two sides, where Brighton have the advantage. My pick is West Ham to win @2.50 on Bet 365, My reasoning for this is that West Ham are a good side and the new players they signed in the transfer window should be starting to settle in, they are due a win and have the home advantage.Also Declan Rice and Arron Cresswell will be fresh after missing the European game through suspension. West Ham are due to come together and start firing and this is my reason for this pick although it goes against all statistics.

HEROIC VS BiG

 

HEROIC:

Ranking 14th globally, it should be mentioned that this team played its last match on July 8 which was for the major LAN tournament in Cologne. In this tournament, refrezh was replaced with jabbi (A better player). 

After winning the first two matches, they were eliminated the next 2 losing a total of 4 MAPS. A devastating lost for HEROIC but with the given time they got to integrate jabbi into their playstyle and tactics, hopefully things will turn out to be better!

BIG:

Ranking 13th globally, in the last Cologne tournament, they failed to pass even the qualification. First their match against Outsiders was a lost (0:2), and then against Astralis with a (1:2). In all the maps played in the tournament, each had really high round totals (making it a close game) yet BiG was still short in each due to them making very WRONG decisions.

 

MY PREDICTION:

With such a long break and both teams having experienced coaches/captains. It really is quite unpredictable to know what can happen.

In terms of potential and playstyle - HEROIC has the upper hand now that they have a new player in their main roster. 

In this match, I bet it will be over 26.5 rounds but the winner here is BiG even if HEROIC has a slight 'player' advantage since they ARE statistically better.

BiG to win only because im a fan!

At the qualifying in Winston-Salem, Tallon Griekspoor and Christopher O’connel will play on hard. But Griekspoor is superior to his opponent this season, he has very good victories, on clay, but still quite recently. O'Connell's loss to the non-hard player Munyar on hard the match before last is somehow not very comparable with the victories of Griekspoor over Rune and other strongest players of this season, although the history of games on hard is not so good at Griekspoor at the beginning of the year, but still, I don’t think that playing on hard or clay is so significant, I think these are just temporary drawdowns in form and mood, from which, if you look at the last games, he has already left.

My betting pick will be Tallon Griekspoor Win 1.96 odds.

Preview of the match: Tallon Grikspur vs Christopher O'Connell
According to the odds at pinnacle: 1.854 on Total Over 22.5

Tallon Grikspur is having an average season. He does not fly out in the first circles, but he does not reach the semifinals at the ATP tournaments either. To gain confidence the Dutchman after Wimbledon stopped at his home ground Challenger in Amersfoort and took the title. At Winston-Salem, Tallon took to the hard courts for the first time since March. He took a long time to get into the game, so long that he gave up a set to Pervolarakis and had a hard time getting the Greek down in three games. Christopher O'Connell may not give that much time to swing.

Coverage: Hard

Coverage: 6 of 10

Current Grikspur rating: 45

Grikspur's win balance (2022): 27-17

Griekspur (hard) win balance: 4-3

O'Connell's current rating: 122

O'Connell's (2022) win balance: 33-17

O'Connell (hard) win balance: 16-9

Grikspur - O'Connell face-offs:
These tennis players have never previously crossed paths in tournament sets.

Tallon Grikspur - Christopher O'Connell vs.
O'Connell, unlike the grounded Grikspur, is on his profile surface. The Australian has now played four hard tournaments since Wimbledon, including reaching the final of the Challenger in Porto. He missed it because of a right leg injury. A month later, however, he returned to Chicago ready. You can see his stamina is down, but he has power in his strokes. Christopher dealt quickly with Nava yesterday, shooting an excellent first-ball 58%. Griekspur isn't in optimal shape either, so the odds are even.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Alize Cornet and Dayana Yastremska. 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 Dayana Yastremska win at 2.50 odds.

1. Alize Cornet performed powerfully at Wimbledon. She managed to got qaurter finals, beating the world's first rank Iga Swiatek. 
2. Cornet is not good in hard court. In none of the last three tournaments, she has gone beyond the second round.
3. Cornet last performed a week ago in Cincinnati. At those competitions in the first round, she suffered a crushing defeat from Stevens (1-6, 0-6).
4. Dayana Yastremska played her last successful tournament on grass. In Birmingham, she lost in the quarterfinals. 
5. In Cincinnati last week, Yastremska tried to qualify, but lost to Petra Martic in the first round (2-6, 2-6). I think Dayana will win as she play good in hard.
