The run of Tsitsipas reminds me Baghdatis making the final a few years ago.
I'm wondering if Tsitsipas is struggling with an injury - there has been a big drift on him, not just match odds, but also outright

I've not come across anything (though not been looking)

But when I saw Bautista Aguts price earlier I did wonder if I was missing something - even though he's played a few 5 setters and could be getting tired I would have him slight fav still
Maybe it's just the market slowly correcting itself now

Wondering if Tiafoe will come across the same problem today?

Who will win the men’s final ?

I have a fair pre tournament trade on Novak and I haven’t watched a game yet....

Any clues from you guys or gals following the open who you think might take the title ?

Boiling down to Nadal vs Djokovic at the moment. Nadal looks up for it, but Djokovic is slightly younger. I can't split them for the title.

I would tend to lean towards Djokovic simply on his H2H against Nadal on Hard

If you would have asked me before the tournament how would I price a Djokovic vs Nadal final, I would have had Djokovic somewhere between 1.3-1.4 range. Nadal's form was questionable after missing the last part of 2018 and came to Australia with no official matches under his belt.

However now I would definitely have them closer, maybe a slight edge to Djokovic. It all depends on how they win the remaining of the matches and how much time and energy they spend on court. On paper Djokovic should have an easy win against Nishikori who must be spent after a 5h marathon in the previous match and a very tough match against an inform Raonic. If Djokovic is taken to a marathon by the Canadian, I would definitely have Nadal a favorite in the final, even by a small margin.

Nadal on the other side has a tricky opponent in Tsitsipas who showed some great tennis especially against Federer. I'd be surprised if the Tsitsipas could take more than one set as Nadal is a bad match-up for the young Greek.

There's also the question mark regarding Djokovic's back. Is there an injury ? he was really stretching his back at the end of the match against Medvedev.

I guess will find out soon enough.

Lost count of the number of breaks but I think it was about seven on the trot.

5 in a row, 7 all together

Pity about Svitolina's injury, was hoping for a better 2nd set
