The Saif Space
All things Tennis. The very elegant sport, and the very exhilarating world of betting it. Interesting conversations (with myself) about the beauty of it all. You might learn a thing or two. You might laugh once or twice. But my aim is for you to reach the point where you don't need me anymore, but want me, and you keep coming back for more.

WTA Roland Garros - Round 2 Day 2
No words to be said for what Ajla Tomljanovic and Sori Cirstea did today. Martina Trevisan and Angie Kerber keep winning. One really straightforwardly and one in dramatic fashion. Petra Kvitova lost …
WTA Roland Garros - Round 2 Day 1
We had our first good today of tennis, with a lot of good matches. Qiang Wang x Pegula was great (despite what the score says), Schunk and Selekhmeteva impressed again superior opponents, and Sabalen…
WTA Roland Garros - Round 1 Day 3
A lot of good matches today post-rain delay I and pre-rain delay II. Noskova x Raducanu was amazing, same with Tomljanovic x Kontaveit and Kerber x Frech. A lot of good performances. Tomorrow's slate…
WTA Roland Garros - Round 1 Day 2
The first day of the French Open was a bit of a disappointment, as expected. The slate was weak and the matches were all kinda 'ew', and unfortunately, and obviously against expectation, the bets wer…
WTA Roland Garros Draw & Round 1 Day 1
ITS TIME!!!! A full preview of the draw, with a full bracket filled out and futures picks. I pick winners for every quarter, and give a few outright winners. I also go through the some-what dead slat…
WTA Rabat & Strasbourg & French Open Qualis V
Some interesting matches today in the two 250s, I think they are delivering and 'giving'. In my opinion, this is shaping up to be a good weekend of semis and finals in Rabat and Strasbourg, but maybe…
WTA Rabat & Strasbourg & French Open Qualis IV
Muguruza does it again...... she loses. This is a cry for help for Muguruza: Please go change your coach. I am picking Ajla Tomljanovic to win tomorrow, and to also lift the trophy here in Rabat. I t…
WTA Rabat & Strasbourg & French Open Qualis III
Sori Cirstea lost as a -7.5, -4000 favorite, she won the first set too. Today I talk about Tomljanovic, Sori Cirstea, and being result-oriented vs performance-oriented. As always, I cover every WTA M…
WTA Rabat & Strasbourg & French Open Qualis II
Nothing cleanses the palette more than a bunch of no names (and Muguruza) playing tennis for a week, leading up to the biggest tournament of the year (in my opinion). I talk about Muguruza, Sloane St…
Rome: conclusion & WTA Rabat & WTA Strasbourg
I provide my commentary on thoughts on the favorites of both ATP and WTA tours going into the French Open. I also assess the rest of the 'field' in the respective tours. I also preview the two WTA 25…
Rome - Finals
Honestly, in Rome, we get the two best men so far in the clay season (that are participating), and the two winningest women this year. It is certainly much deserved, as much as it pains me to admit. …
Rome - Semis
A whole lotta everything from quarterfinals today. Literally, a bit of everything for all kinds of fans, no matter what you're into. Whether you like throws, or enjoy a good choke, or live for the co…
Rome - Quarterfinals
The worst thing that I probably ever saw on a tennis court, took place this evening in Rome during the night session. Some very good QF matchups on deck for tomorrow. As always, I talk you through ev…
Rome - Round 3
Tank jobs left and right: Muguruza, Bencic, Halep. Some big names committing some big crimes on court. Some impressive results, some shocking ones. Full slate of Round 3 matches to look forward to, s…
WTA Rome - Round 2
After an opening two days of 'blegh' in Rome, we have Round 2 action to look forward to tomorrow. The entirety of the WTA Round 2 (16 matches) will be played tomorrow. There is a lot to recap from to…
WTA Rome - Round 1 Day 2
A very 'blegh' sort of day for day one in Rome. When in Rome... there are a lots of breaks of serve, and less aces. A lot of three settors and overs. At least compared to the clay of Madrid from last…
WTA Rome Draw & Round 1 Day 1
Judgement Day has concluded. Carlitos passed and will ascend into heaven with flying colors (no pun intended). Big preview of the WTA Rome draw, and I break down every match on the WTA slate for Day …
Judgement Day: Conclusion
Is Carlitos the best tennis player in the world? Congrats to Ons Jabeur, winner of WTA Madrid 1000. Listen in for my thoughts on Djokovic, Carlitos, Djokovic x Carlitos, and Sasha Zverev, and then Ca…
Judgement Day
Today feels like judgement day; for Carlitos, for Novak, for Stefanos, for Sascha Zverev, and for ONS JABEUR. I preview and discuss all three of these bangers at length (WTA Madrid Final & ATP Semis)…
