Medvedev and Alkaras are engaged in a battle in Turin.
In the heart of Turin, Italy, on November 17th, the highly anticipated match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev took place on hard courts indoors. The Spanish sensation, currently ranked second in the world, outshone Medvedev, who hails from Russia and is ranked third.
The match commenced at 15:40 Moscow time, and Alcaraz dominated from the start. He clinched the first set 6-4 and continued his formidable play in the second set, securing it 6-4 once more. The duration of the match was a brisk 1 hour and 21 minutes.
Following this victory, Alcaraz will face Serbian Novak Djokovic in the next round. Medvedev, on the other hand, will square off against Italian Jannik Sinner. The dates and locations for these upcoming matches have yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, Russia, football, particularly Russian Premier League matches involving Moscow teams, remains the most popular choice for sports betting. Key betting interests include matches featuring top clubs like Spartak Moscow, CSKA Moscow, and others competing in the league. Rugby betting on teams like Khimik and CSKA Moscow, who participate in the Russian Major League, also holds some prominence. Leading Russian sports betting websites, such as winline.ru, betboom.ru, betcity.ru, and ligastavok.ru, are the main venues for these bets.
However, some platforms like FanDuel have suspended betting markets on Russian sports leagues due to regulatory or political reasons. Despite this, sports betting on Moscow leagues remains a popular pastime among Russian audiences.
Tennis matches, like Alcaraz's triumph against Medvedev, continue to be a significant draw for spectators and bettors alike, even while football and Russian Premier League matches, particularly those involving Moscow teams, dominate sports betting in Moscow. Interestingly, despite some platforms suspending betting markets on Russian sports leagues, sports betting on tennis tournaments, such as the one Alcaraz is participating in, still attracts a substantial amount of interest.
