Cobolli – Marozsan: Time TBA
H2H: 1-1
Flavio Cobolli has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Cobolli lost to Tiafoe in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets. He hopes for a solid result this week to cement his top 20 status. In the opening round, Cobolli defeated Galaraneau in three tight sets.
Fabian Marozsan has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Marozsan lost against Diallo in the third round in straight sets. This week in Toronto, he defeated Dellien in the opening round in straight sets. In the second round, Marozsan upset Auger-Aliassime in straight sets.
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Cobolli struggled against Galarneau in the opening match. On the other hand, the Hungarian dominated in both matches. We expect Marozsan to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Marozsan winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Fabian Marozsan winning @2.00 @bet365
Davidovich Fokina – Mensik: Time TBA
H2H: 3-1
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has won four of his last five matches. This week in Toronto, the Spaniard defeated Moutet in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving eight out of ten breakpoints.
Jakub Mensik has won three of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Toronto was at Wimbledon, where he lost to Cobolli in the third round in straight sets. This week in Toronto, the Czech defeated Boyer in the opening round in straight sets. He saved all seven breakpoints.
According to the bookies, Mensik is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Davidovich Fokina looked emotionally exhausted in the opening round against Moutet. On the other hand, Mensik looked fresh and is a better hard-court player than Davidovich Fokina.
That being said, Mensik winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jakub Mensik winning @2.10 @bet365
Diallo – Fritz: Time TBA
H2H: 0-1
Gabriel Diallo has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Diallo lost to Shelton in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets. This week in Toronto, Diallo defeated Gigante in the opening round in straight sets. He trailed 2-5 in the second set, but turned it around. Diallo also saved two set points in the second set.
Taylor Fritz has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Davidovich Fokina upset him in the quarterfinals in three tight sets. This week, Fritz had a rough opening match against Carballes Baena. After fighting for over two hours, the American won in straight sets. In the second set, Fritz trailed 3-5, but turned it around.
According to the bookies, Diallo is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Fritz played poorly in the opening match against Carballes Baena. Diallo is in great form, and we expect him to keep this match tight.
That being said, Diallo covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Gabriel Diallo +3.5 games handicap @1.67 @bet365
