Thanks for the replies guys, seems the general consensus was that no one has done particularly great at it this year

I'd also agree with those who commented on the upcoming Miami tourney, outside the Grand Slams its one of my favourite events to trade so very much looking forward to it

Also to sort of echo what Northbound said, if one's strategy was heavily reliant upon 'bounce backs', Indian Wells would've been hard to swallow. Assuming zero counting errors: Out of a total 94 matches (excl. qualifiers), 59 of them completed in straight sets (1 retirement before completion of 1st set). Only 34 finished 2-1, AND only 14 of those came back from a set down.

Good luck on the finals later on if you're trading them! Kerber vs Andreescu should be interesting

Kerber about 20 ticks short for me.

I guess beating Bencic by 3 breaks is seen as quite good form

Great start from Andreescu, I can't lay her here. 1.51 seems about right to me. Possibly a few ticks too big. Anyone layed her?

No, you're absolutely right. She' s been very impressive! 9 of 11 from 2nd serve, the other 2 were actually double faults. Kerber just couldn't seem to find a way in.

Current position: Flat. Just wanting to see if Andreescu shows an adrenaline dump to start 2nd set. But Kerber is unbackable for me atm

What a finish after a shaky start. Well deserved win. Fairly good result for me.

I was in trouble most of the way through the match but ended up flipping my book late on for a small result. Thiem in the 3rd was outstanding.

This turned out to be quite a match
Charts at set3 5-5

Enjoyed that one, even though I'm sizing at miniature stakes, conscious of the fact that BF could go down any second

It's all going on in the Zverev match, matched at 1.01 for 35k, now 2.0. Kuhn matched at 200 but I only had 1p matched!

It's probably an appropriate amount to scale back with all the risks associated these days

Never saw that coming

I can check later but to save me the time did you happen to notice her start price?

[ec0n0mist]

Roughly 1.40

Noticed she hired Kamau Murray (Sloane Stephen's ex coach) as her new coach. Didn't help today though lol
