Indians Wells

So Kevin Andersson is turning 36 this year and not playing as much tennis anymore, he used to play around 70 matches a year until 2018.

This year he only played 7 matches (2-5), 2021 = 38 matches, 2020 = 20 matches, 2019 = 20 matches. 

So he is not spending as much time any more training and playing, and he plays golf as a hobby. So nowadays he spends more time with his hobby than his professional tennis career. Entiendes ahora :))

 I’d be careful on the Kuzuhara spread…I know it makes sense logically but there’s a big difference between playing the boys and playing the men, even if it is a very mediocre Munar.

In doing a little digging on some other matches I see Kuzuhara lost recently to Hijikata (a 21 year old ranked in the 300’s) 6-2, 6-3. I know that’s only one frame of reference but Munar is even a couple steps up from that.

Question though, for Ymer are you referring to Mikael or brother Elias?

@dcp1985

 I wish I saw this earlier, looks you right already 3-0.

Only Elias playing today

It’s awful, The WTA and ATP is very different on this. On WTA you have girls winning real Grand Slams after winning the girls once.

On ATP they can’t even hold serve against player clay player ranked outside top 100.

but who is the 17 year old Chinese that won today? He also got a wildcard, does anyone know him?

@Bjorn_Borg

Target this week £6000 

Kenin S. / Riske A. ODDS is dropping was 2.70 now down to 2.5 (Bet365)

They playing Kontaveit and Rybakina, I think will focus more on the singles and this is a good chance for the American couple to get some games here in Indian Wells. 

Shang won 1st set then his opponent couldn’t take it any more. He wasn’t ready for this mighty 17-year old 

Krawczyk, Schuurs + Stosur S. / Zhang S

Tomorrow

Riske + Daniel T 

Jurak D. / Klepac A.

Can't believe they lost that one.

Gaston +3,5

Krueger +6,5 (WTA)

The flying dutchmans... odds dropping a lot, can't see Sandberg or Querrey having anything to say, will probably play 2-0 as well.

Linette M 2-0 (Against LL Sharma)

@Bjorn_Borg

 No. 1 Juniour player. Just needs to improve that serve and hes in the top 100
