Could be all GB final if Evans beats top seeded opponent. Excellent stuff, although he's always had a knack against the big guys (O'Pelka is 7 feet tall in his trainers). Final will be against either Dan Evans or Karatsev, a Russian who I'd heard nothing about before last year and seems to be a bit of a late bloomer. Murray's knocking on the door of the top 100 and will make it in if he wins the tournament. Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is simply allowing a major sporting event to go ahead with its major player(s) During EURO 2020 last year players and officials were given exemption from quarantine when “normal” people were not.

Jeffros Furios Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Korda has been touted as a potential champion for a while but his form is inconsistent Alcaraz will be a major winner and has form on the hard courts even though he's suited to clay Badosa's form the last 12 months and winning a title 2 days ago gives her a good chance .

Norrie seemed flat and subdued. They'll try to put it down to Covid interruptions but Korda also had to miss a week due to the virus.

If things go to plan, he'll beat Lajovic on Wednesday; have a big old match against Berretini on Friday and the winner of that might find themself up against Korda.

Homme Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sanders is overpriced v Sabalenka. Brit wise I can see Murray and Evans progressing. Broady will lose to Kyrgios.

Homme Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Bet365 have Emma as slight favourite still. Rybakina absolutely destroyed her. Stephens not at that level but I think she will edge a close game. Sabalenka has been an absolute mess since the new year. She is there for the taking tomorrow morning. I didn't see it but noticed Gauff is out. She was one of my dark horses. I'm of the opinion it's 100% Barty's to lose but Elena Rybakina is my top female player so I'd love her to win her first slam.

Rad v Sloan will be intriguing. Its a tough call I think as jury still out on Rad really. On Ladbrokes Sloan is favourite or was. Sabalanka , is like most on the circuit now.. wildly inconsistent . Halep is one of the worse. I haven't seen Rab play so cant comment about her. I am unsure who she is playing next round ? Thats a surprise re Gauff as it was predicted she would be the next big thing a couple years back but hasnt came through as yet. She has plenty time to do so.
