ATP Rotterdam 500 1/8 Finals
De Minaur- Goffin: 14.02.2024, 17:30 CEST
H2H: 4-0
Alex de Minaur played almost a perfect match in the first round against Korda. He was all over the court, and he looked really solid! If he could keep this level, he is definitely one of the favorites to win the tournament. The surface is pretty fast, and that goes in De Minaur’s favor, who served really well in his opening match. His opponent, David Goffin, had a really tough and long match in the first round against Prizmic. He looked solid, but he was not really consistent. In the third set, Prizmic got injured and could not really move on the court, and that’s why Goffin won the third set comfortably. We believe that Goffin will be a little bit tired coming into this match, and with de Minaur playing this way, he does not really have a big chance. Both of these guys have a similar playing style; Goffin just has everything less than de Minaur, which we could see already in the previous matchups. All things considered, we believe that this one will be pretty one-sided and that de Minaur will comfortably win this match!
Value bet/the best odds: Alex de Minaur: 4.5 handicap games @2.04 @pinnacle
Auger Aliassime – Rublev: 14.02.2024 21:00 CEST
H2H: 1-4
Auger Aliassime is slowly but surely getting back to his best form. He has won the first round against Cressy in two tough tiebreaks. He is still really inconsistent, and he is making way too many unforced errors. He needs to step up his game if he wants to have a chance against Rublev. Andrey Rublev has played his first match after losing in the quarterfinals in Australia. He did not dominate, but he still won comfortably in straight sets against Bergs. He was a little bit rusty, but overall, it was a solid performance from the Russian. We believe that Auger Aliassime is still far away from his best tennis and that his form is not good enough to compete against Rublev. We strongly believe that Rublev will win this match, and we believe that it is a really good value bet!
Value bet/the best odds: Rublev to win @1.60 @bet365
Sinner, Van De Zandschulp: 14.02.2024, 19:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
What to say about the champion, Jannik Sinner? This youngster is playing the best tennis of his life! After winning the Australian Open, his first major, Jannik took some time off and enjoyed time with his family. His opponent, Van De Zandschulp, is struggling this year, but he is playing not that badly at all. He played against Sinner in Australia, and he was really fighting and playing well against him. The Dutch player has a big serve, and he will be dangerous if he can have a big first serve percentage in this match. When people win a big major such as the Australian Open, especially at that young age, they usually don’t play their best tennis right afterwards, which we can also understand because they get emotionally and physically exhausted. All things considered, we believe that Van De Zandschulp will put up a big fight and that Sinner will not have it easy. Our value bet is Van De Zandschulp to cover handicap games, and you should definitely go for it!
Value bet/the best odds: Van De Zandschulp +5.5 handicap games @ 1.65 @ Bet365
