“DANIELLE COLLINS vs CLARA TAUSON” … 1/21/22

CLARA TAUSON ML -115

First bet of the season….

Danielle Collins is my favorite tennis player. It sucks to fade her here but it’s a terrible spot for her. 

Clara ended last season on a high note and is starting the year off with a bang by knocking Anett Kontaveit out. I watched that match and what stood out was that Clara was able to capitalize on Kontaveit’s mistakes. When your going up against an opponent like that, you gotta take what is handed to you. 

My girl Danielle Collins on the other hand didn’t really impress me against Ana Konjuh. Danielle was on pace to bagel Ana but allowed her to put up a somewhat decent fight. The tiny mistakes that she was doing against Ana won’t fly with Clara.

I saw the line open at -115 Collins and quickly went to -130…. I’m assuming some public action went on Collins. A veteran like Danielle Collins should be -140 in this spot but Vegas may have seen some rust in her last match. 

Clara Tauson is the sharp bet here and I like it alot. The line shifted towards Tauson making her a -115 this morning. Clara is capable of going on a run like Emma Raducuna 

Im really confident in the 19 year old. Danielle Collins on the other hand got hot last season towards the end…. Trends show she can lose in this spot and bounce back much later 

@ToddC

 I agree with you 100%. I love Tauson to pull off the upset the sharks have moved the line to Tauson as favourite now. 

I'm on Clara as well, also have a small wage on 2-0.

Collins didn't do any matches before AO, so she has only played 2 games since Nov last year. 

I can see Clara and Amanda both getting their grand slam breakthrough here in AO just like Emma and Fernandez had in US Open. 

@Bjorn_Borg

 If Anisimova can stay calm like she did against Osaka she has a great chance to beat Barty!

All pressure on Barty here and Amanda plays very aggressive and was brilliant against Naomi who didn't play bad herself. 

+5.5 is a gift I believe. 

GL Todd.. Idk if I can pull the trigger on either. Might take the over.

Really wished I could have stayed up for that Anisimova/Naomi match !!

Barty might have Amanda running everywhere bro…. I’ve been waiting for Anisimova to get her groove back

On it@!

This girl can’t handle Dani’s game at all...the angles or the power. Shocked at how little fire power Tauson has. Try is is just batting practice for Collins.

Ouch i went all in

Tauson is a walking zombie with zero energy. I took her blindly because I found it odd that Collins was underdog. Big mistake. Collins is a bulldog. Whenever I go against her she figures a way.

My girl Danielle fought…. Not mad at my bet. 

Danielle Personality and grit more than likely taught Tauson a lesson this match.

Yeah Collins was at -133 and I told myself I would take Tauson if it dropped …

Tauson lost energy at the end…. Danielle’s power in her shots was lowering as well but her body posture was nice. She played like a true veteran.
