Outside of the French Open it can't be very often in Nadal's career that he's spent less time on court than anyone else at this stage of a major
Code: Select all
Nadal 8hr 48m
Djokovic 9hr 57m
Raonic 10hr 11m
Tiafoe 11hr 55m
Pouille 12hr 18m
Tsitsipas 12hr 29m
Nishikori 14hr 01m
Bautista-Agut 14hr 16m
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 ?

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.
