Daily DFS Tennis Thread
I had a monster start with Bouchard and Pegula winning in straights, only for the slate to flip completely on me with Danielle Rose Collins (who I had 0 of...) putting up 90 points in an unfavorable matchup on paper. Considering price and opponent strength... Read More

Yeah, I saw a twitter post from around 6:15 a bit after I main my tilt post. Still pretty easy to miss, unfortunately. It's not a coincidence that she was about as high owned as Siegemund in the $15 even with sharps jamming Siegemund in lineups. There are... Read More

Uytnanck withdrawal was pretty gross for me. She was one of the my favorite plays outside Animisova and Wozniacki, and was well underweight on Seigemund as a result. I know you can't win them all and this is a part of the Draftkings tennis experience, but... Read More

My thoughts on the slate: There's no reason to be cute today. Anisimova is priced as a toss up and she's a -350 favorite. She's the free space of the day even at 50%+ ownership. My favorite expensive play here is Wozniacki. She's in a tier of her own at ... Read More

I am a little concerned the offered odds on Maria are a little too good to be true. Anyone know anything about the extent of her injury a few weeks back? Read More

If Svajda ends up priced as a +300 or +400 underdog, I think he's worth some dart throws just because he's so ridiculously cheap. Otherwise, I think looking towards good players in tough (but winnable) matchups like the aforementioned Londero seems much mo... Read More

So, you guys thought we've seen Isner chalk? First bookie I see has him as a -300 favorite and he costs only 8100. Also, there are only 14 matches on the slate. The sky is the limit tomorrow. 50%? 60%? I don't think I've seen much higher than that but I'm... Read More

I have Coco as one of my dog picks. She looked surprisingly sharp last match and Sabalenka really hasn't played since a poor Wimbledon showing, so there's a pretty good upset angle going. Read More

Gotta hand it to Dimitrov. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone put up less than 46 fantasy points in a win. He only outscored Steve by 6... Edit: Oh man, unbelievably bad start by Petkovic. Shame I even stayed up to sweat this one. Read More

This has been an amazingly terrible day for big-name American Women. Stephens got stomped, Keys lost to a qualifier, Gauff disappointed, and Venus got grinded out by Sands. I guess Danielle Rose Collins could still make a run but sheesh. I have a lineup w... Read More

This Khachanov v Tsonga match is a heck of a ride. Unfortunately, don't think either of them will show up on the winning lineup at this rate. Read More

I was snoozing during the Tomic withdrawal. Not my finest moment. I have a good handful of lineups with Peterson and Nishioka as well so maybe it cancels out?... Read More

Good to see Coco back. Definitely the story of the day! Seems like Cilic vs. Copil, Tsonga vs Khachanov, and Edmund vs Harris don't have their odds out yet. IMO, Khachanov and Tsonga looks correctly priced as a close match with a slight edge for Khachanov... Read More

For real. He will probably be "only" 60-70% owned though. Read More

I'm not excited about her with how poorly she played before she left along with her unfortunate combination of underdog status with a huge double fault tendency. That's a lot to be fighting against, and it does not seem worth it to me with how many options... Read More

I think the most credible theory is that player withdrawals are more common in the first round, so Fanduel has not been running contents on Monday or Tuesdays. I definitely don't know for sure. What I do know is that this will be an ugly slate. There are ... Read More

More of a salary relief play than much of an underdog, but I like Friedsam for tomorrow. (Or is it later this morning?) She faces Cornet, who needed to go to three sets to beat a much weaker opponent in Trevisan and has a punishable serve. I definitely hav... Read More

I had a legit shot at a top 5 lineup that could have salvaged my day if Cecc was just able to close him out. Between that and the chalky withdrawals, that might be enough salt for me to take a break from tennis the next few weeks. Read More

Yeah, the Vikh withdrawal was absolutely backbreaking for me as well. Between her salary value and questionable opponent, she was one of my favorite plays for the slate. Fortunately a lot of my other picks were less than stellar as well so it's not like i... Read More

I sent a message to complain about the situation and I did get an apology and a substantial amount of DK dollars to compensate for the bad experience, so props to them for owning up to the mistake. Hopefully they learn from it and do not attach large prize... Read More

No kidding. I was actually sweating whether Pella was going to hit that serve bonus, heh. I feel like like I have a real shot at tying for first for the Elite in England contest with Joker, Halep, Nadal, Riske, Strycova, Svitolina. Unfortunately the tiebr... Read More

The mad men at Fanduel are doing a Wednesday slate. Draft 3 players: MVP (1.5x), Star (1.25x), and a regular slot. Even with the mvp spots this has to put the number of duplicate lineups on today's slate to shame, right? Read More

I was one Sam querrey away from taking the Fanduel GPP: https://i.gyazo.com/0605eaa2e3d4f2a6292231d02fc9f016.png So close! I had Querrey in more of my lineups than Pouille, too, but that's how daily fantasy goes sometimes. Read More

There is a huge lack of even matchups on this slate. (Fognini is the only favorite with odds below -200). It's a little unfortunate, since I think this is going to push a lot of the lineups towards the middle prices. Federer is going to be really difficul... Read More
