This episode of the Crush and Rush Tennis Podcast is all about finding value before the market corrects itself.

We open by briefly highlighting the work being done at Crush Rush News. The site has been rebuilt from the ground up with one goal in mind: sharper tennis analysis.

From data-driven previews and matchup-based betting angles to coaching insight and surface-specific breakdowns, this isn’t recycled tennis content—it’s work, and a lot of it.

From there, we turn to Nick Kyrgios, whose situation is no longer about rust or recovery. Availability, preparation, and competitive intent all matter in betting markets, and right now, Kyrgios carries more question marks than upside.

Name value is still baked into the Australians' odds, but reality is not.

Next, we break down the ripple effects of Carlos Alcaraz parting ways with Juan Carlos Ferrero. This isn’t just a headline; it’s the context that matters.

We close with the core of the episode: United Cup betting picks. Singles odds are out, and early-season markets are already mispricing motivation, surface fit, and matchup dynamics. Team formats, mixed schedules, and compressed timelines create inefficiencies—this event has historically been one of the better spots to find them.

Tune in to the Crush and Rush Tennis Podcast, with Craig Doyle and Phil Naessens.
