Who Wins the French Open 2020?
This is not your normal tennis year. But we take the tennis we get. And the usual suspects are there. Who wins the French Open 2020? By usual suspects, I mean the regular favorites to win the French Open: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and let’s also add US Open Champion Dominic Thiem to the mix. […]
And suddenly we’re in Rome…
The US Open has just ended and suddenly we’re in Rome for the Rome ATP Masters 1000. It’s great to have tennis back on, right? Rafael Nadal is back in action for the first time since the COVID break. It will be really interesting to see how he does in his first match in months. […]
Thiem Beats Nerves and Zverev for Grand Slam Title
I did not recognize Dominic Thiem last night. He was overcome by the moment and tied down by nerves. But in the end, he got through it to win his first grand slam title. I don’t think anyone could have predicted the first two sets of last night’s US Open 2020 Grand Slam final. Zverev […]
Four new ATP events
In a recent press release, the ATP has announced the addition of four new ATP events to the 2020 provisional schedule. The updated schedule included the back-to-back ATP 250 events in Cologne (Germany, Indoor Hard) that I wrote about in my previous Bett1HULKS post. And also two new ATP 250 events in Sardinia (Italy, Clay), […]
Men’s US Open Final 2020: Zverev vs Thiem
Will the Men’s US Open final 2020 include Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem? Most things point towards that. But… We have to remember that US Open 2020 has not been your average tournament. No crowds, no Rafa, no Federer, Djokovic defaulted, played in a bubble, and so on. Thiem and Medvedev have been the most […]

Murray and Zverev are confirmed to join two ATP tournaments in October under the collective name of Bett1HULKS. My friends at e|motion group have not been laying low during COVID. After the Bett1Aces the group expands its tennis portfolio with two tournaments under the name of Bett1HULKS in the LANXESS arena in Cologne, Germany. So […]
Lack of Drama at US Open 2020
That headline looked weird, right? There has been no lack of drama at the US Open 2020. But yesterday’s matches were a bit dull. Yesterday I wrote how I was looking forward to some “popcorn” matches. Thiem was playing wunderkind Auger-Aliassime, big-hitters Berrettini and Rublev were squaring up, Tiafoe vs Medvedev was an interesting clash […]
Djokovic Defaulted US Open 2020
When I woke up this morning to the headlines about Djokovic Defaulted I could not believe my eyes. The world number one is out of the US Open. There are days when the greats are more irritable than others. Djokovic is more prone to this than Rafa and Roger and last night was not great […]
Karolina Pliskova Is Out of the US Open
Not all tennis players manage to succeed in every tournament, and it looks like people who were eager to check out tennis betting odds for Pliskova will be sad. The top seed at the U.S. Open, Karolina Pliskova, is out of the U.S. Open after being defeated by none other than Caroline Garcia, with 6-1, […]
Can Felix Auger-Aliassime win the US Open?
Can Felix Auger-Aliassime win the US Open 2020? After watching his last two matches it looks entirely possible. I think this question might belong in the “too much, too soon” department but you can’t help but be swept away by FAA and his dominant wins over Murray and Moutet. He seems to have found a […]
