ENTERPRISE VS BEYOND POSSIBLE

 

ENTERPRISE:

Ranking 39th, this team is in a better form than BP but quite not as good as their usual self due to having one of their core players being substituted for another. (SYSTEM instead of STINX)

In terms of tactics, players and experience - ENTERPRISE has the upper hand, they are very proficient when it comes to their own picked maps because of their utility usage.

 

BEYOND POSSIBLE:

Ranking 106th, BP is actually really good as individuals but as a team? Eh, not really. It is very difficult when it comes to betting against BP because some times you see them going absolutely beyond expectations. Despite qualifying for this tournament, they lost to SAW ( A much better team ) but it was without putting up a good fight.

 

MY PREDICTION:

Enterprise to win. They are simply the stronger team although SLIGHTLY. This will be a tough match possibly going above 2.5 maps.

BP struggles when it comes to team fights which makes their ATTACK so much weaker than defense.

ENTERPRISE TO WIN!

Siniakova has been playing poorly throughout the season and naturally rolled back to the bottom of the hundreds of ratings. In early August, there seemed to be a gap, Siniakova won a hard tournament in a Polish city but after going to the States, she lost in the very first round of qualification in Cincinnati Petkovic, who, although she took a set from the champion Garcia there, plays at best at the end of a hundred.  Zhang Shuai is also playing unevenly this season, but she looked very good in Cincinnati. There she beat Osaka and Alexandrova in two sets, Kontaveit in three sets and played almost on equal terms with Sabalenka, all this with a very high-quality game. Already, Zhang should beat Sinyakova.

My betting pick: Shuai Zhang win 1.87 odds.

Man Utd V's Liverpool, Man U are in turmoil and Liverpool are due a win, Manchester have not been able to compete with Liverpool for years now, Liverpool have been the stronger team for some time. Add into the mix Manchester's trouble with their clubs owners the Glaziers then this should be an easy win for Liverpool. My only worry about this game is that it may not even go ahead or get abandoned half way through with fans expected to protest in a big way. If you are watching tonight's game which will definitely be worth expect trouble even before the match starts. It would not surprise me if old Trafford got smashed up and the match abandoned prior to kick off winch would nullify my bet but if this doesn't happen then I think Liverpool will win at least 3-1, so my pick for today is Liverpool win @1.66 on Bet365.

=> Chun Hain Tseng to win 2.37 odds.

Here I will bet on Tseng. Fucsovic is not at all happy with his game after a two-month downtime. At first, with an effort, he outplayed Martin, who really has no experience in such tournaments, then he completely lost  in two sets to Kubler. In general, the form is big question for the Fucsovic. Tseng start is not enough, but he knows how to play. In Cincinnati, he took a game from Goffin, beat Pedro Martinez, which shows his good form. I think that Fucsovic, who is not in the best shape, will defeated by Tseng.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Lorenzo Musseti and Richard Gasquet. 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 Richard Gasquet win 2.36 odds.

1. Lorenzo Musetti is doing well this year, but Gasquet, who is not far behind the young, cannot be left aside. 
2. Both athletes have a one-handed backhand, which they use effectively for attacks. Richard's game is more versatile, and he will certainly be able to cope with the tactics of the Musseti. 
3. Maihrjak put Gasquet to the test in the first round, but as the match progressed, he improved his game. 
4. He served well, making 11 aces and winning 45% of the points at the reception.
5. In a loss to Coric last week, Musetti managed just one break on the pitch. 
6. Gasquet is a difficult opponent, and in the battle between youth and experience, I expect the experience to win.

Preview of the match: Dominic Thiem vs JJ Wolf
At pinnacle odds: 1.925 on Jeff Wolf's win, my money's on him.

After ten years, Dominic Thiem returns to Winston-Salem. Last time, when he was very green, he failed to qualify, and now he will play in the main draw on a "stray" card. First thing he'll do is cross racquets with the same owner of the wild-card and a representative of the local school of tennis Jeff Wolf.

Surface: Hard.

Speed: 6 of 10

Current Team rating: 228

Tim's win balance (2022): 8-11

Tim's win balance (hard): 0-0

Current Wolf rating: 83

Wolf (2022) Victory Balance: 31-21

Wolf (hard) win balance: 20-12

Statistical facts on the Thiem vs. Wolf matchup:
Thiem has won four of the last six meetings with the Top 100.

Wolf has three wins in his last five home matches.

Face-to-face meetings between Thiem and Wolf:
Thiem and Wolf will cross bats for the first time.

Dominik Thiem vs JJ Wolf:
Despite winning his only Slam in New York, Thiem was and remains first and foremost a primer. The last few years have taken their toll on the Austrian, who has fallen far back in the rankings and lost his best form. Dominik, of course, does not give up hope to return to a high level and last month he finally began to show good tennis. How else could he play two quarter-finals and a semi-final on clay-court? His swing on the right-hander has improved, his ball movement has improved, but he is unlikely to upset Winston-Salem by even a single win. There are several reasons for this.

First of all, the Austrian was not stable on hard courts even at the peak of his career, and has not played on this surface since March last year. Secondly, Tim had no playing practice at all since his performance in Kitzbühel, i.e. for one month. Third, an extremely unlucky draw, which threw in the unstoppable and pushy Wolf, who's been putting the tour's fundamentals back under strain as of late.

We believe the former third-ranked player won't be able to resist the attacks of the feisty American.

ENTITY VS ALLIANCE

Right now, Entity has not been their self lately and have been falling behind in competition, they are on a losing streak and have been going down on the world leaderboard. ALLIANCE is doing better since their form right now is in a much better state than that of ENTITY. Their players are able to easily take out the opposing side one by one so easily which gives them the number advantage very early game.

ENTITY will win anyways. Even though they are not at their best. Recent H2H matches show that ALLIANCE suffered a devastating lost of 0:2. Entity has always been the better team so it should go their way this time.
