Best Bets to Make

Main Bet

According to the bookies, Alcaraz is the heavy favourite in this matchup, but we partially agree. Fils came back incredibly fast to his best level. He defeated several solid hard-court players in straight sets. If he serves well, we expect him to keep this match close.

That being said, Fils covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Arthur Fils +4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Second Bet

Carlos Alcaraz has not won a single game in the semifinal clash against Rublev without losing a point. The Russian managed to win at least one point in each game throughout the match. We expect the same thing from Fils today as well.

That being said, Fils winning at least one point in every game in set 1 is a value bet.
