Novak Djokovic is a huge favorite ahead of his Australian Open final vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas on Sunday

Looking at the lines for Djokovic-Tsitsipas.

The stage is set. Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Novak Djokovic on Sunday in Melbourne in the men’s singles final at this year’s Australian Open.

Tsitsipas, the tournament’s No. 3 seed, will enter the championship match as the clear underdog despite holding a higher seed than the fourth-seeded Djokovic. BetMGM might be taking into account the fact that Djokovic is a nine-time Australian Open champion, which would explain his (-500) odds at the sportsbook.

Djokovic also entered this tournament as BetMGM’s odds-on favorite. If he can finish the job against Tsitsipas when they meet on Sunday, he’ll earn his 22nd Grand Slam title and tie Rafael Nadal for the most ever.

But the job won’t be easy even for one of the all-time greats. Stefanos, the 24-year-old up-and-comer, has dropped just three sets all tournament long and will be looking to land his first Grand Slam win.

How will this championship match play out?

Como no está vacunado, Novak Djokovic queda fuera del US Open 2022

La apuesta de Novak Djokovic de empatar el récord de mayor número de títulos de Grand Slam en el tenis está en pausa, pues quedará fuera del US Open por rehusarse a aplicarse la vacuna del coronavirus. Esa negativa no le permitirá entrar a Estados …

La apuesta de Novak Djokovic de empatar el récord de mayor número de títulos de Grand Slam en el tenis está en pausa, pues quedará fuera del US Open por rehusarse a aplicarse la vacuna del coronavirus.

Esa negativa no le permitirá entrar a Estados Unidos para competir en el torneo, pues el país prohíbe la entrada a extranjeros que no estén vacunados contra la COVID-19.

“Tristemente, no podré viajar a NY en esta ocasión para el US Open”, Djokovic dijo en redes sociales.

“Novak es un gran campeón y que no pueda competir en el US Open de 2022 es muy desafortunado, pues no podrá entrar al país debido a la política gubernamental sobre el estado de vacunación para los que no son ciudadanos estadounidenses”, dijo Stacey Allaster, director del Torneo US Open. “Esperamos recibir a Novak en el US Open de 2023”.

Traducción: Tristemente no podré viajar a NY en esta ocasión para el US Open. Gracias a la #NoleFam por sus mensajes de cariño y apoyo. ¡Buena suerte a mis compañeros de juego! Me mantendré en buena forma y con un espíritu positivo y esperaré la oportunidad de competir nuevamente. ¡Nos vemos pronto, mundo del tenis!

 

A principios de año, Djokovic recibió una excepción médica para jugar en el Abierto de Australia, pero fue deportado tras perder la batalla en el juzgado después de que le cancelaran su visa.

En julio ganó Wimbledon por cuarto año consecutivo, pero no recibió puntos en el ranking debido al veto para los jugadores de Rusia y de Bielorusia.

Debido a que su estado de vacunación es ‘no vacunado’, para Djokovic ha sido difícil encontrar lugares en dónde competir.

A principios de este mes y debido a las leyes de vacunación, se retiró del Western & Southern Open de Cincinnati y no jugó en el National Bank Open de Canada.

Djokovic tiene 21 títulos de Grand Slam y únicamente Rafael Nadal, quien le lleva la delantera por un título, se interpone en su carrera para tener el mayor número de títulos de toda la historia.

August Sports Betting Calendar: NFL Preseason, US Open and WNBA Playoffs

Novak Djokovic goes for a second straight Grand Slam title. And football is back!

The wait is over for those starved of football. The August sports betting calendar is highlighted by the return of the NFL in the form of preseason play, though I personally wouldn’t wager on those wholly unpredictable games.

Besides, there’s so much more going on in August.

Novak Djokovic will go for a second straight Grand Slam title when the US Open gets underway near the end of the month. WNBA teams jockey for playoff position until the start of the playoffs in mid-August. And all three of the FedEx Cup Playoffs will determine a winner on the PGA Tour.

Here’s a look at all of that and more going on.

Djokovic ganó Wimbledon pero bajó en el ranking mundial por esta razón

En condiciones normales Djokovic hubiera mantenido su tercer sitio detrás del ruso Daniil Medvedev y el alemán Alexander Zverev

El serbio Novak Djokovic se proclamó campeón de Wimbledon al vencer al australiano Nick Kyrgios en la final del torneo y sumar su Grand Slam número 21.

Sin embargo en el ranking mundial la victoria no solo no le sirvió al serbio, al contrario lo penalizó de fea forma y pasó del lugar 3 al 7 por salir campeón.

¿La razón? El All England Club que organiza el torneo de Wimbledon, vetó de manera unilateral a los tenistas rusos y bielorrusos por la invasión a Ucrania algo que no le pareció a la ATP, WTA e ITF dejando al torneo sin puntos al menos durante todo un año.

Así que en lugar de que Novak Djokovic sumara los 2 mil puntos que otorga normalmente ganar el torneo, se le restaron a su total, así que pasó de 6,770 unidades a 4,770 y salir del top 3 de tenistas mundiales.

En condiciones normales Djokovic hubiera mantenido su tercer sitio detrás del ruso Daniil Medvedev comandando el ranking y ausente por el veto y el alemán Alexander Zverev que conserva la segunda posición aunque tampoco estuvo presente en Wimbledon por una lesión en el tobillo.

El ranking también penaliza a Kyrgios quien no sumó los 1,600 puntos de rigor por ser finalista y le restaron 90 puntos bajando en el ranking de la posición 40 a la 45.

Nick Kyrgios was very angry during Wimbledon final about disruptive fan who had ‘700 drinks’

This was hilarious.

The Wimbledon men’s final between Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic has lived up to the hype and we’re currently only in the third fourth set.

Kyrgios has been his usual, talkative self which is always fun to watch but even more so on such big stage as the men’s final at Centre Court.

Midway through the third set he became upset about a fan who he said was talking during his serves and he let the umpire know about it in a hilarious rant in which he accused the woman of being really drunk and having 700 drinks.

You can not make this stuff up:

That’s just tremendous stuff.

Twitter had reactions.

Novak Djokovic vino de atrás en los cuartos de final de Wimbledon para vencer al joven Jannik Sinner que estaba dando la sorpresa del torneo.

La remontada fue feroz, al estilo de uno de los mejores tenistas de la época, Djokovic se repuso de ir dos sets abajo y sacó la casta para llevarse el encuentro y festejarlo de peculiar manera pues ya está en semifinales.
