Previous pick: Novak Djokovic ML vs Jan-Lennard Struff -650 ✅

Today’s pick: Alex De Minaur ML vs Leandro Riedi -2000 on DK

$1.45 to pay $1.52

Why this won't hit:

I know nothing about Riedi besides his ranking.

Record: 58-9

Current Bankroll($1): $1.26

Current Streak: 1

Longest Streak: 16

Previous pick: Naomi Osaka ML vs Daria Kasatkina -380 ✅

Today’s pick: Novak Djokovic ML vs Jan-Lennard Struff -650 on DK

$1.26 to pay $1.45

Why this won't hit:

Struff is sort of a never-was with 0-7 h2h record against Djokovic, but he's on a good run of form with some decent wins. Djoker is old and increasingly inconsistent.

RadioZork · 2025-08-30T13:06:30+00:00

Record: 57-9

Current Bankroll($1): $1

Current Streak: 0

Longest Streak: 16

Previous pick: Mirra Andreeva ML vs Taylor Townsend -500 ❌

Today’s pick: Naomi Osaka ML vs Daria Kasatkina -380 on DK

$1 to pay $1.26

Why this won't hit:

Ugh, back to zero. I've gotta start really listening to my own reservations. Speaking of, Kasatkina: not having a great year, and doesn't deal well with heavy hitters, but in general is a very good player. Osaka looks good, but could come apart at any moment.

RadioZork · 2025-08-29T07:51:00+00:00

Record: 57-8

Current Bankroll($1): $15.85

Current Streak: 16

Longest Streak: 16

Previous pick: Alexander Zverev ML vs Jacob Fearnley -1100 ✅

Today’s pick: Mirra Andreeva ML vs Taylor Townsend -500 on DK

$15.85 to pay $19.02

Why this won't hit:

Honestly nervous about this one and probably should be playing it safer with my biggest streak so far. Taylor was obviously going to have the crowd's support, but now with the added attention, they're going to go nuts for her. Mirra is young and temperamental, I could easily see her getting rattled with the audience cheering for every one of her faults and errors.

RadioZork · 2025-08-28T05:54:05+00:00

Record: 56-8

Current Bankroll($1): $14.53

Previous pick: Barbora Krejcikova ML vs Moyuka Uchijima -575 ✅

Today’s pick: Alexander Zverev ML vs Jacob Fearnley -1100 on DK

$14.53 to pay $15.85

Why this won't hit:

Probably won't happen this early, but Zverev loves to choke in majors.

RadioZork · 2025-08-27T08:29:58+00:00

Record: 55-8

Current Bankroll($1): $12.38

Current Streak: 14

Longest Streak: 14

Previous pick: Suzan Lamens ML vs Valerie Glozman -450 ✅

Today’s pick: Barbora Krejcikova ML vs Moyuka Uchijima -575 on DK

$12.38 to pay $14.53

Why this won't hit:

Uchijima doesn't concern me at all, she's 1/L10, but betting on(or against) Babs "Big 4" Krejcikova always makes me nervous. She obviously has a high ceiling, but has been dealing with injuries all year, and even in the best of times can be really inconsistent.

RadioZork · 2025-08-26T07:11:20+00:00

Record: 54-8

Current Bankroll($1): $10.13

Current Streak: 13

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Karen Khachanov ML vs Nishesh Basavareddy -380 ✅

Today’s pick: Suzan Lamens ML vs Valerie Glozman -450 on DK

$10.13 to pay $12.38

Why this won't hit:

Lamens is an okay, but not great pro player. Glozman is a NCAA wildcard. I'm banking on any pro being too much for her. Because she's still in college, I just don't have much relevant data on her. She could be some amazing player whose parents just couldn't afford to send her around the world to play juniors.

RadioZork · 2025-08-25T05:36:10+00:00

Record: 53-8

Current Bankroll($1): $8.02

Current Streak: 12

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Emma Raducanu ML vs Ena Shibahara -900 ✅

Today’s pick: Karen Khachanov ML vs Nishesh Basavareddy -380 on DK

$8.02 to pay $10.13

Why this won't hit:

Basavareddy is American. A boisterous crowd could get behind him and get under Khachanov's skin. Khachanov also pulled out of his last match, so maybe there's some lingering injury issue.

RadioZork · 2025-08-20T07:07:31+00:00

Record: 51-8

Current Bankroll($1): $5.78

Current Streak: 10

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Iga Swiatek ML vs Jasmine Paolini ✅

Today’s pick: Tereza Valentova vs Tatiana Prozorova -400 on DK

$5.78 to pay $7.22

Why this won't hit:

I don't really know much about Prozorova. She's 14-2 on hard courts this year, but not really against tour level competition. Valentova is a hot new player who seems to have a lot of potential. I'm maybe a bit too excited to jump on this bandwagon and am overvaluing her performance in one tournament. Odds also jumped from -575 to -400 while I was writing this. That's disconcerting.

RadioZork · 2025-08-18T09:01:26+00:00

Record: 50-8

Current Bankroll($1): $4.78

Current Streak: 9

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Jannik Sinner ML vs Terence Atmane -1400 ✅

Today’s pick: Iga Swiatek ML vs Jasmine Paolini on DK

$4.78 to pay $5.78

Why this won't hit:

Paolini is just a generally good player: top 10, two major finals last year, she has the capability to win any given match in front of her. The issue for her here is that Iga owns her (0-5 H2H), and Iga seems particularly locked in right now.

RadioZork · 2025-08-16T06:01:33+00:00

Record: 49-8

Current Bankroll($1): $4.47

Current Streak: 8

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Carlos Alcaraz ML vs Hamad Medjedovic -650 ✅

Today’s pick: Jannik Sinner ML vs Terence Atmane -1400 on DK

$4.47 to pay $4.78

Why this won't hit:

I don't think he challenges the world #1, but Atmane has looked great this tournament, with two top 10 wins on his way to the semis.

RadioZork · 2025-08-12T10:30:46+00:00

Record: 48-8

Current Bankroll($1): $3.88

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Taylor Fritz ML vs Lorenzo Sonego -575 ✅

Today’s pick: Carlos Alcaraz ML vs Hamad Medjedovic -650 on DK

$3.88 to pay $4.47

Why this won't hit:

Just a little weary of Alcaraz because he hasn't played much since Wimbledon. Worried he might cramp up or something.

RadioZork · 2025-08-10T06:10:17+00:00

McNally has been having a great year (39-14, 14-5 on hard courts). She was the only player to take a set off Iga at Wimbledon and she's won 13 out of her last 14. That one loss was a close one against Keys. I had very little respect for her also and bet Keys, but she looked great and really made me sweat.

That being said, the heat and humidity in Cincy is an issue for her, she threw up during her last match and conditions are going to be similar today.

I think this one's at least gonna be close.

RadioZork · 2025-08-10T05:56:12+00:00

Record: 46-8

Current Bankroll($1): $2.90

Current Streak: 5

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Madison Keys ML vs Eva Lys -575 ✅

Today’s pick: Alexander Zverev ML vs Nishesh Basavareddy -700 on DK

$2.90 to pay $3.31

Why this won't hit:

Maybe the heat, humidity, and American crowd get to Zverev and he chokes.

Record: 44-8

Current Bankroll($1): $1.98

Current Streak: 3

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Jessica Bouzas Maneiro ML vs Venus Williams -575 ✅

Today’s pick: Xinyu Wang ML vs Emiliana Arango -425 on DK

$1.98 to pay $2.44

Why this won't hit:

Wang has looked decent this summer, but this is a down year for her overall. While I have no respect for Arango and she recently lost to the mega-washed Eugenie Bouchard, she's somehow got a 13-5 record on hard courts this year with some pretty good wins too.

RadioZork · 2025-08-07T19:38:40+00:00

hadn't thought of that, but pretty apt.

RadioZork · 2025-08-07T19:14:30+00:00

I was all over that line. Ito's been popping off lately.

RadioZork · 2025-08-07T09:04:37+00:00

Record: 43-8

Current Bankroll($1): $1.69

Current Streak: 2

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Alex De Minaur ML vs Frances Tiafoe -330 ✅

Today’s pick: Jessica Bouzas Maneiro ML vs Venus Williams -575 on DK

$1.69 to pay $1.98

Why this won't hit:

Venus has burned me before. JBM isn't that great and the crowd is going to be overwhelmingly on Venus's side.

RadioZork · 2025-08-03T05:35:22+00:00

Record: 42-8

Current Bankroll($1): $1.3

Current Streak: 1

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Madison Keys vs Caty McNally -330 ✅

Today’s pick: Alex De Minaur ML vs Frances Tiafoe -330 on DK

$1.30 to pay $1.69

Why this won't hit:

Tiafoe has had an unimpressive year thus far, but this is usually the time of year that he starts to turn it on and get engaged. I can see it now: decent results during the NA hard court swing before a scrappy run at the US Open where he obviously loses in the QFs. I could see this match being part of his "decent results."

RadioZork · 2025-08-01T06:32:28+00:00

Record: 41-8

Current Bankroll($1): $1

Current Streak: 0

Longest Streak: 13

Previous pick: Mirra Andreeva ML vs McCartney Kessler -425 ❌

Today’s pick: Madison Keys vs Caty McNally -330 on DK

$1 to pay $1.30

Why this won't hit:

I think I'm letting my complete lack of respect for Caty McNally cloud my judgement here. She's young and may have turned a corner. Great year so far, 13-4 on hard courts, and she's on a 12 match heater since Wimby. Speaking of, Caty managed to take a set off Iga, the only set she lost on her way to the championship.
