A few days before the Australian Open 2018 started,we've asked you to post your predictions about who do you think it might  win or get eliminated first in a few categories of the event, as well about who will have the longest run outside top 10 seed players,in both men's and women's single event..There was a set of 10 questions,and you needed to pick right at least 9,in order to stand a chance for ,i might say,an amazing prize :  an incredibile € 2.000 Unibet Open Package  Nobody said it's gonna be easy,but a bit of luck combined with a few tennis knowledge,would had given you the opportunity to walk away with the big prize,for free.

Marin Cilic and Roger Federer meet in the final of the 2018 Australian Open. Marin Cilic is coming off a straight sets win over Kyle Edmund that took 29 games to decide. In the victory, Cilic won 90 percent of his first serve points and 56 percent of his second serve points. Cilic is coming off possibly his most complete performance of the tournament in which he dropped just five of 50 first serve points and won 38 percent of his return points. Cilic has been lights out with his serve for majority of the tournament and the fact he’s had an extra day over his opponent can’t hurt. Cilic has double-digit aces in all six of his matches and has been broken twice in each of his last eight sets. Cilic looks to win his second career grand slam title and his first since the 2014 US Open. Cilic is 1-1 in his career in grand slam final appearances and is 14-7 in final appearances on hard court overall. Cilic has won eight of his last nine matches on hard court. Roger Federer is coming off a straight sets win over Hyeon Chung that took 14 games to decide. In the victory, Federer won 94 percent of his first serve points and 71 percent of his second serve points. Federer lost just one service point in his victory and gave himself 11 break chances before Chung retired due to a blister injury. The short match kind of balances things out given that Cilic has had a full extra day of rest. Federer still hasn’t dropped a set in this tournament and is serving some of the best we’ve seen from him in quite some time. Federer hopes to win his 20th grand slam title and sixth in the Australian Open. Federer has split his last 10 grand slam final appearances and hasn’t lost a grand slam final since the 2015 US Open. Federer is 65-24 in his career in final appearances on hard court. Federer has won 10 of his last 11 matches on hard court. These two have played nine times and Federer has won eight of those meetings. The most recent match was in the 2017 ATP World Tour Finals, a match Federer won in three sets. Federer has won the last three matches, and his only loss to Cilic came in the 2014 US Open. Federer is 4-1 against Cilic on outdoor hard court. Cilic does have an advantage with the extra day off, and he’s always a treat given his big serve. However, Federer didn’t have to work too much in his semifinal match due to Chung retiring in the second set, and he’s been the most consistent player for the last two years. There’s simply no reason to bet against Federer in his current form, as he’s not losing sets let alone matches. Not to mention the glaring head to head numbers. Tennis match of the day : Marin Cilic vs. Roger Federer ( Scheduled to start 09:30 CET - 28.01.2018 ) Question #14 for the daily giveaway on the 28.01.2018 is : How many games will there be in total in this match??  A. Over 38.5  games in total in this match.

Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep meet in the final of the 2018 Australian Open. Caroline Wozniacki is coming off a straight sets win over Elise Mertens that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Wozniacki won 84 percent of her first serve points and 53 percent of her second serve points. Wozniacki won a nervous second set tiebreak to advance past the semifinals, and she dropped just seven of 44 first serve points. Wozniacki has been much more improved with her serve in this tournament and has dominated pretty much all 10 of the sets she’s won. However, nerves were clearly an issue in the second set, and it’ll be interesting to see if she can keep those in check here. Wozniacki is in her first grand slam final since the 2014 US Open, and she hopes to win her first career grand slam title. Wozniacki is 0-2 in grand slam final appearances and 22-17 in final appearances on hard court overall. Wozniacki has won 14 of his last 15 matches on hard court. Simona Halep is coming off a three sets win over Angelique Kerber that took 35 games to decide. In the victory, Halep won 67 percent of her first serve points and 33 percent of her second serve points. Halep could have easily lost her semifinal match after getting down a break in the third set, but she dug deep and showed that she has come a long way in terms of her mental approach under coach Darren Cahill. Halep has battled an ankle injury, a couple of tight matches and has still managed to put herself in a grand slam final with a chance to secure the No. 1 ranking in the world. Confidence has to be high for Halep, but conditioning will be interesting given the long match she just played. Halep is in her first grand slam final since the 2017 French Open, and she hopes to win her first career grand slam title. Halep is 0-2 in grand slam final appearances and 9-5 in final appearances on hard court overall. Halep has won 12 straight matches on hard court. These two have played six times and Wozniacki has won four of those meetings. The most recent match was in the 2017 WTA Championships, a match Wozniacki won in straight sets. Wozniacki has won the last three meetings against Halep, and her last loss came in the 2015 Dubai Tennis Championships. Three of the six matches have gone the distance. Halep is 2-1 against Wozniacki on outdoor hard court.  Nerves may be the deciding factor in this match, as neither have won a grand slam, and while they’re both established names and are considered some of the best players in the world, a grand slam title adds a little something extra to your resume. And I’m picking Halep to win this match. The only thing that’s been holding Halep back in the past was the mental game, as she’d get so down on herself after a poorly played game and allow it to leak into the rest of the match. Halep has been a lot more positive recently and shows a lot better body language regardless of the score. Halep would already have grand slam titles if this was improved years ago. Wozniacki has been lights out this tournament, but she does have a history of choking in big matches and was showing signs of nerves in her second set of the semifinals. And while Wozniacki loves to run and chase down balls, Halep is one of a few players who can match her fitness and push the pace with her. Halep also has the power advantage on outdoor hard court, proving that her power may be the deciding factor in this match. Great final and somebody’s career will be changed forever.

Important note!!! Either i'm getting tired, or to old...but yeah ! Made a huge mistake today and forgot that the ladies double's is playing a normal decisive set if it's a tie after the first 2 sets. So the daily question is kinda useless..Sorry guys...And even tho it's kinda the same thing , in regards to answer..it's better to have it clear. I'll keep the same teams, just gonna change the question and ask one of the mods to kindly remove all the previous predictions for today's question. Hope those of you who already replied, will have the chance to check again .I'll tag you guys, as a reminder : @kwasozlop , @Thurddzz , @marcusgais , @kacata , @Svens777 , @dynamo , @JRE , @MctheBesT , @spargelsalat , @Michelle293 , @NaeCoae , @solsidan , @SCOBY , @Nameisis , @Betzcom , @Saimniece , @GothMoth , @Ja-z-Polszy , @cris1285 , @Camilio , @comanimal , @CharismaMan , @nekoneko , @livertool , @skolis , @makay668 , @startelver , @Hothuw , @Ernests , @Ivanus , @bizarre12 , @TTABKATA .  No.2 seeds Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova are one match away from completing the career Grand Slam in Melbourne - they face Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic in the final. No.5 seeds Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic are through to the Australian Open doubles final after grinding past Hsieh Su-Wei and Peng Shuai, 6-4, 6-2. Babos and Mladenovic were regular doubles partners up until a few years ago and have plenty of experience as a duo; together they reached the 2014 Wimbledon doubles final and captured titles at Dubai, Marrakech and Rome in 2015. The Australian Open is their first tournament together in several years, and they’ve capped off their reunion in the best way possible - with a run to the final. Babos and Mladenovic looked well on their way in their match against Hsieh and Peng, getting off to a dominant 5-1 lead with a double break in the opening set. Hsieh and Peng did well to work their way back into the match, and steadily cut into their advantage, even while fighting off two set points in two games. The pair even even held points to make it 5-5 but - with help from a huge performance at the net from Mladenovic - Babos was able to serve it out. The No.5 seeds were likely feeling a sense of deja vu in the second set as they once again grabbed a double break and 5-1 lead, but found the Chinese-Taiwanese duo once again began making their comeback. Hsieh saved three match points before finally wrestling out the hold, but the pair couldn’t replicate their first set near-heroics. Babos once again served out the final game, and weaved a booming forehand down the middle of the court to take the match. Standing between them and their first Grand Slam title as a pair are the No.2 seeds Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova, the all-Russian duo who are looking to complete their trophy cabinet and capture the Career Slam in Melbourne. Makarova and Vesnina needed one hour and twenty-five minutes to see off Irina-Camelia Begu and Monica Niculescu, 6-4, 6-3. The Russians were finalists here back in 2014 when they led Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci in the third set, 5-2, only to fall in pursuit of their first title Down Under. They later went on to win the US Open that season and claimed the Wimbledon title in 2017 to go along with a 2013 title at Roland Garros. They’ve also added an Olympic gold medal and a WTA Finals crown to their extensive team resume along the way, but the illusive Australian Open remains the only title the pair haven’t won.

No.2 seeds Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova are one match away from completing the career Grand Slam in Melbourne - they face Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic in the final. No.5 seeds Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic are through to the Australian Open doubles final after grinding past Hsieh Su-Wei and Peng Shuai, 6-4, 6-2. Babos and Mladenovic were regular doubles partners up until a few years ago and have plenty of experience as a duo; together they reached the 2014 Wimbledon doubles final and captured titles at Dubai, Marrakech and Rome in 2015. The Australian Open is their first tournament together in several years, and they’ve capped off their reunion in the best way possible - with a run to the final. Babos and Mladenovic looked well on their way in their match against Hsieh and Peng, getting off to a dominant 5-1 lead with a double break in the opening set. Hsieh and Peng did well to work their way back into the match, and steadily cut into their advantage, even while fighting off two set points in two games. The pair even even held points to make it 5-5 but - with help from a huge performance at the net from Mladenovic - Babos was able to serve it out.

Tennis match of the day : Timea Babos/Kristina Mladenovic vs Ekaterina Makarova/Elena Vesnina( Scheduled to start 06:00 CET - 26.01.2018 ) Question #12 for the daily giveaway on the 26.01.2018 is : Will there be a Super Tie Break in this match??  Also called super tiebreakers, 10-point match tiebreakers are sometimes used in lieu of a final set when a match becomes tied at one set all.When a super tiebreaker is used as the final set, the original order of service continues. Before the start, though, doubles teams can change their order of serving and receiving, and this order remains until the end of the tiebreaker.The player or team whose turn it is to serve, serves the first point of the tiebreaker. The next two points are then served by the opposing player or team. From then on each player or team alternates serving two points until the end of the tiebreaker.Players change ends of the court after the first point and then after every six points. An approved alternative, which is fairer especially when playing in extreme weather conditions such as wind and sun, is to switch after the first point and then after every four points.Points are simply scored 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. The first player or team to win 10 points by a two-point margin wins the match. If the score in the match tiebreaker becomes tied at 10 points, play continues until a player or team has a two-point lead.

No , there won't be a Super Tie Break in this match,   in this thread and get a chance to walk away with a €30 prize . Deadline for this question is : 05:30 CET -   ( 26.01.2018 ) Best of luck!!! ...

Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep meet in the semifinals of the 2018 Australian Open. Angelique Kerber is coming off a straight sets win over Madison Keys that took 15 games to decide. In the victory, Kerber won 83 percent of her first serve points and 44 percent of her second serve points. Kerber simply dominated a red hot Keys by winning 52 percent of her return points and dropping just four first serve points. In four of Kerber’s five victories, the German has lost no more than five games. It’s still early in the season, but it’s safe to say that Kerber is back to being a feared player in tournaments given last years struggles. Kerber hopes to make her fourth career grand slam final appearance and second in the Australian Open. Kerber is 3-2 in her career in grand slam semifinal matches. Kerber has won 10 straight matches on hard court. Simona Halep is coming off a straight sets win over Karolina Pliskova that took 17 games to decide. In the victory, Halep won 76 percent of her first serve points and 45 percent of her second serve points. Halep has also had little trouble in this tournament outside of her third round match with Lauren Davis, and she’s coming off a match in which she broke argubaly the best server in the game five times. Halep has been much more positive on the court and is serving better than we’ve seen from her recently. However, Halep does have a history of burning out around this time in grand slam play, so this will be the test for the Romanian firecracker. Halep hopes to make her third career grand slam final appearance and first ever in the Australian Open. Halep is 2-2 in career grand slam semifinal matches. Halep has won 11 straight matches on hard court. These two have played nine times and Kerber has won five of those meetings. The most recent match was in the 2016 WTA Championships, a match Kerber won in straight sets. Kerber has won four of the last five meetings against Halep, with her only loss during that span coming in the 2016 Canadian Masters. Halep is 4-1 against Kerber on outdoor hard court.  However, Halep has dominated Kerber when playing on outdoor hard court, which tells me she’s able to control the pace and wear down Kerber with her constant movement and baseline shots. This is pretty much a coin flip and Kerber is probably the favorite due to her experience, but Halep has been consistent and needs that victory to get over the top eventually. Their games are so similar and whoever makes the fewest unforced errors will win.  Tennis match of the day : Angelique Kerber vs. Simona Halep( Scheduled to start 06:00 CET - 25.01.2018 ) Question #11 for the daily giveaway on the 25.01.2018 is : Who will qualify for the final in the ladies event?
