Analysis for Nadal-Tipsarevic (US Open)

Head-to-head 0:0

This is just a bet on Nadal´s injury. We are aware that he is much better player than his opponent and Tipsarevic would probably have no chance under the usual circumstances (if Nadal wasn´t injured). But Spaniard is currently facing serious problems with his left knee which causes that his movement is limited. He feels the strong pain in his left knee according to his own words. He cancelled his training on Monday and had just a light stretching on Tuesday. He said that if it was another tournament, he would never come to courts within these conditions. His uncle and trainer Toni said that he played like 30-40% of his best against Alun Jones in the first round which is not going to be enough against the better opponents. And Tipsarevic is a better player without any doubts. So while Nadal and his uncle are hoping for fast recovery, we will try to bet against him with 5dimes because we think Nadal can retire during the match and 5dimes have the rule of completed first set. Tipsarevic is currently experiencing his best season so far and made some good results on last 2 grandslams. We believe that if he manages to keep pace with Nadal in first few games, Nadal will not want to undergo suffering again.
