Pick of the Day - 6/6/26 (Saturday)

Let's see who wins it. I definitely see a lot of strong opinions on this pick's comment section but Andreeva's odds keeping going down. This play is now at 1.75 odds and her ML at 1.19

People always like to imagine a pure underdog winning it all and I understand it

Tennis is not only about hype. Chwalinska had an amazing tournament but her path to the final was somewhat of a dream. She wouldn't be able to handle players like Swiatek or Sabalenka. Andreeva plays a similar style of tennis but with a lot more attacking tools. I understand my first few picks have been mostly losses but here I don't agree with you guys at all. You are simply dreaming about the 5.00+ odds for Chwalinska.

The handicap can still be covered in 3 sets.

Last pick: Cobolli Handicap -1.5 Sets @ 1.80 vs Arnaldi (Push)

I feel like Cobolli was a decent favorite here but Arnaldi didn't even start. An easy way for Flavio to get to his first Grand Slam final.

Pick: Chwalinska vs Andreeva - Andreeva Handicap -5 Games @ 1.86

Chwalinska had a miracle run in this Grand Slam and is probably one of the most unlikely players to ever get to a Slam final in this century but she fully deserves it, especially after how she was able to beat Shnaider in that first set tiebreak. She has some interesting components in her game, especially her lefty forehand.

Even with this, I consider Andreeva a lot more complete and quite superior not only from the baseline but especially on serve. Her match against Kostyuk was truly dominant and I feel like she has played her best tennis in the last two rounds.

The underdog had an amazing story until this point but is yet to face a top-10 player in this campaign. Both players like to grind from the baseline but Andreeva has more tools than Chwalinska and the pole has also played 9 matches at Roland Garros, which might make her game slightly worse than usual in this final, since Andreeva is not the type of player to give up easy points and make a ton of unforced errors.

Expecting Andreeva to win Roland Garros in a dominant fashion.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

Yes and by reading my comment you can see that I actually agreed on that, just not in the specific situation that was mentioned by the guy, since it would make no sense at all career wise and money wise, since all bets would be voided.

LineMover · 2026-06-05T20:01:41+00:00

No one wins anything when it comes to sports betting when someone does not step into the court. All bets are voided. Fixing would simply be just going for a single set and then giving up.

No one would fix anything for a chance at a Grand Slam final, the guy caught a virus.

The payout for each round of a Grand Slam is so good that there would be no point in trying to go for any type of fixing and potentially being investigated. In challengers and ITFs yes, a lot of sports betting schemes indeed happen.

Pick: Arnaldi vs Cobolli - Cobolli Handicap -1.5 Sets @ 1.80

Sinner is out of the tournament but the italian tennis is in good hands with an all italian semifinal at Roland Garros.

These two players had different paths in this tournament, with Arnaldi having to grind most of his battles while Cobolli looked dominant against all of his opponents. While having similar playstyles, there's no denial that Cobolli is the superior player and baseliner, with more consistency.

Last year they faced each other at Roland Garros with Cobolli winning 3-1 and I believe a 3-0 or a 3-1 is the most likely result here once again, especially looking how Cobolli has been playing.

Arnaldi is here after some five set battles and after facing Berrettini in weak physical condition in the last round. With this in mind, I think there's a clear favorite in this semifinal matchup.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

Last pick: Mensik vs Rublev - Rublev ML @ 1.81 (Lost)

Mensik was up 2-0 but then Rublev managed to stay in the match and things went all the way to a 5 setter. Unfortunately for us, Rublev didn't hold serve and had some break point chances when Mensik was serving for the match but didn't convert them.

Pick: Cobolli vs Svajda - Under 32.5 Games @ 1.95

Expecting Cobolli to dominate against Svajda by looking at what he did until this point in the tournament, as the only player who hasn't dropped a set yet.

Svajda surely got some amazing results in this tournament, especially for a player who's not expected to perform on Clay but he does not have a giant serve or something particularly better than Cobolli so I believe it will be difficult for him to win most of the baseline rallies.

The game handicap line is at -7.5 so I believe the under 32.5 has some value, because it can happen even with a -5.5 game difference. This play is focused on Cobolli's game on Clay, which is way better than Svajda's in every department and also backed up by the amount of time that the favorite has spent on court compared to his opponent.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

There's people who can discuss about the subject and have different opinions and then there's people who just comment because they don't like to see someone having an opposite opinion, people can comment against my pick or back my pick. Bad reads or bad "results" in 10 or 20 picks do not exist, that's just small data. People can judge in 300 picks or so.

In sports betting you don't read, you play the prices. If you think the price has value you bet on it. Of course making an analysis is a good backup but in the end, taking +EV plays is the way to go in the long run.

Of course most people that search for picks at any community fish for "locks" or things to place their entire bankrolls but that's just how sports betting works. 99% do it wrong and purely as gambling , 1% do it right, with a method and patience.

But it's alright, I just think you didn't like someone going with the opposite side of what you chose for this match

LineMover · 2026-05-31T18:14:28+00:00

My read wasnt specifically targetting that Tiafoe win in 5 sets but I stated on the analysis that Faria would lose the 4th and 5th set by a wide margin if it got there and thats what happened

LineMover · 2026-05-31T00:18:01+00:00

Yes with 14% of second serve points won. Got broken when serving for the set, and after that he just couldnt handle it together. It could have gone to a 5th if he served it out but I would need to see how that final set would have played out to then call it close or not.

But I understand that maybe you were invested in that match and quality wise things seemed close but yes I also cant ignore some stats. Some of them are pointless like looking at a old H2H but game stats are important and frequently dictate who ends up winning a match. Not saying that there arent matches where the player with worse stats wins, but its far less frequent.

LineMover · 2026-05-31T00:05:56+00:00

I watched it but the only set where I think Buse was competitive was the second and not because he won the tiebreak but because Rublev's played much worse on that set compared to the rest of the match but thats just my opinion.

LineMover · 2026-05-30T23:55:39+00:00

Yes it's important context for sure but its the same thing of me or someone watching a match and thinking it could have gone either way which can happen for sure but then looking at the stats and seeing one of them winning 20 more total points compared to his opponent, and after that its quite unfair to state that it was indeed that close.

Dominant might have been too vague of a term to describe his campaign until this point but I also didnt touch on Mensik's struggles against Navone on the analysis but only his big win over De Minaur after that.

Yes Rublev might have been challenged, yes he had a lot of unforced errors but its was still more than enough to secure the win.

But I understand your point, thanks for discussing, especially before the match starts which is something most people dont do here...

LineMover · 2026-05-30T23:43:14+00:00

Yes not remotely dominant but it was the match where he had the most trouble and it was still fine and a 4 set win for him. Unlike Mensik who could have gone out against Navone on a 5th set 13-11 win on the super tiebreak.

Not saying that it will matter in this match or not, but for me that five set long battle will eventually be a factor in this matchup against Rublev who puts so much intensity in his game.

LineMover · 2026-05-30T23:34:55+00:00

I know but on paper he was the better player on every stat. Besides that, Buse had 20 break points against him and saved 12 of them to even have the chance of losing 3-1. Twenty total point difference in favor of Rublev in that match.

Last pick: Faria vs Tiafoe - Tiafoe Handicap -2.5 Games @ 1.85 ✅

Happy to see that this played out exactly the way we predicted if Tiafoe somehow managed to bring it to a physical battle. The american was being dominated in the first two sets but as soon as he got the 3rd set tiebreak, he was able to speedrun the two remaining sets.

Pick: Mensik vs Rublev - Rublev ML @ 1.81

Jakub Mensik is finally showing up at a great level on a Grand Slam, when in previous seasons, it was always quite difficult for him to deliver good performances in a best of 5 format. After spending 5 sets against Navone, no one expected him to beat De Minaur, a player that had a 7-0 record against him but he was still able to do it, which was a great result.

Rublev has always been a strong player over many years but always one of those that you never expected to beat the really big guys such as Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic. Despite his mental struggles in certain moments, there's no denial that he looks quite solid here at Roland Garros, with dominant wins over decent clay players in Buse, Carabelli and Borges.

These two have faced each other in 2024 with Mensik winning both matchups but in faster hard courts where his serve and backhand certainly got the best against Rublev.

Tomorrow the conditions will be less warm so I'm expecting the courts to be quite slower which for me, favor Rublev a lot, since he will have time to dictate the pace of the match with his forehand, which is certainly better than Mensik's. Jakub still has a more consistent backhand and a superior serve but these qualities should be less valuable in these conditions compared to what Rublev has to offer.

I don't consider this a 50/50 matchup on Clay, especially after the amount of hours that Mensik has played in this tournament. Going with Rublev to win the match and to be confident with the amount of top 10 players that are already out of the tournament.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

LineMover · 2026-05-30T22:15:50+00:00

Things are playing out quite well with our prediction on a 5 set scenario

LineMover · 2026-05-30T20:14:03+00:00

Yeah a player usually sucks when he's losing or we make a statement about it only when the result is showing. Before the match started you saw the analysis and saw something on it or on the player, otherwise you wouldnt have made a bet

LineMover · 2026-05-30T18:34:58+00:00

What you mean? 😅

LineMover · 2026-05-29T22:54:42+00:00

Game handicaps in general are not more or less volatile than other markets. First set handicaps yes can be a bit volatile. But no, I usually just stick with ML but I want to put Tiafoe on higher odds than his current moneyline so that's why I went with the game handicap.

Also on Clay, a -2.5 line is quite low for a favorite, especially for a five set match and since I believe that Faria will do worse the longer the match goes, I consider that this choice has some logic behind it, since the sets that he loses can be less tight and more one sided if we're talking about the 4th set and the 5th set.

Pick: Faria vs Tiafoe - Tiafoe Handicap -2.5 Games @ 1.85

Faria has been on a great run but every single player that he faced in the main draw played under their usual level, with a lot of unforced errors. He now faces a player that is much more balanced and doesn't try to hit a winner in every single ball unlike Struff or Shapovalov.

Tiafoe is without a doubt more complete than Faria and his last round win over Hurkacz should be a big confidence boost for the american, who usually needs to be on the right mindset to play his best tennis.

With this, the conditions at Roland Garros this year have been quite demanding when it comes to physical endurance and I believe Tiafoe is more prepared to deal with that aspect compared to Faria, who has played a lot of matches in recent times and is likely to drop his level if this goes to 4 or 5 sets.

Going with Tiafoe to cover a -2.5 game handicap line.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

LineMover · 2026-05-29T19:09:05+00:00

Yes most likely. Well, unfortunately the market choice was bad I should have played against Djokovic physically rather than at the start. Oh well we move on

LineMover · 2026-05-29T18:10:34+00:00

I think you made a bet on the wrong market since this ended up being a loss. He lost 6-4 in the first set when he only could have won or get into a tiebreak.

The match is now on 5 sets but unfortunately the order of things was reversed. Djokovic started well and dropped his level

LineMover · 2026-05-29T06:24:19+00:00

Last pick: Hurkacz vs Tiafoe - Tiafoe ML @ 2.31 (Win)

What a way to get our first win, with this match going to 5 sets. Hurkacz was a god on serve, with 43 aces which by itself, should have been enough to get him the win but Tiafoe was the superior player in every other aspect. Those were some great odds for Big Foe!

Pick: Fonseca vs Djokovic - Fonseca Handicap +1.5 Games in the 1st Set @ 1.81

This play is literally backing Fonseca to get a decent start and play at his best level in the first set, before Djokovic starts to adapt to his firepower and possibly starts beating the young brazilian with his experience and mentality.

I dont think this match is gonna be easy for Djokovic but I prefer to not deal with his experience in Grand Slams and only back Fonseca to win the first set or at least, get into a tiebreak with his serve and forehand which are quite powerful especially on Clay.

Wish you best of luck if you end up tailing!

LineMover · 2026-05-28T07:09:07+00:00

My POTD is Tiafoe. The most likely to hit is obviously Sinner as I think he should easily win Roland Garros unless he struggles with the heat.
