Tradeshark Diary 25th November

We’re almost at the end of another season. Just the WTA Challenger in Limoges which start on the 16th of December.

So I have 3 weeks to recharge the batteries a little although I use the off season to “spring clean” the websites. I am always tweaking the site and the trading guide throughout the season but as I am usually working at 100 mph it all just needs checking.

I have quite enjoyed today as I have managed to get a lot done. I’ve added a new section to the Members pages, checked 75% of the members pages. I am converting all the pages to WordPress blocks. WordPress changed the default editor months ago but as it was in the middle of the season I couldn’t be bothered with learning how to use it so I stuck with the old editor. Quite recently I thought I would have a look at the Gutenberg blocks editor and really like it. You have more options for page layout and lots of other things.

I still haven’t heard any more about the copyright issue. …

ATP World Tour Finals – Semi Final – Thiem v Zverev

Dominic Thiem 1.78, Alexander Zverev 2.28

Due to start at 8 pm

Thiem leads their previous matches 5-2. They last met in the French Open quarter final in May last year. Thiem won on clay in straight sets. Thiem won their only indoor match in February 2017. He won in 3 sets.

Thiem has stronger overall results this season. Indoor results also favour him and stats for the tournament favour him.

Thiem’s only loss in the round robin matches was to Matteo Berrettini when he had already qualified for the semi finals. He beat Roger Federer in 2 tight sets in his first match and Djokovic was beaten in a third set tie break.

Zverev had an easy win over Rafael Nadal in his first match but then lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets. Last night he needed to beat Daniil Medvedev to reach the semi finals and to knock out Nadal. He won in straight sets without facing a single break point. He won this title last year.

We have some value on Zverev and I expect this to go to 3 sets. I favour Thiem to win. Back Thiem around 2.10. Lay the set 1 winner.

Update: A very tight first set went to Thiem with a late break of serve. He had easily hit our entry price. Unfortunately it was yet another straight sets match.
Thiem won 7-5, 6-3.
