Borges – Bagnis: Time TBA
H2H: 0-1
Nuno Borges has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Bastad, where he lost against Misolic in the opening round in three sets. His last hard-court match was in Miami in March, where he lost against Bergs in the opening round in straight sets.
Facundo Bagnis has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Kitzbühel, Bagni lost in the opening round against Rinderknech in three sets. This week in Toronto, the Argentine player qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the final qualifying round, Bagnis defeated Atmane in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, the Argentine defeated Pospisil in three tight sets.
According to the bookies, Borges is the big favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Bagnis performed well against Pospisil yesterday. On the other hand, Borges has not played on hard courts for the past few months. We expect Bagnis to keep this match tight.
That being said, Bagnis covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Facundo Bagnis +4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Griekspoor – Etcheverry: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Tallon Griekspoor has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Bastad, Griekspoor lost against de Jong in the quarterfinals in three tight sets. His last hard-court match was in March at Indian Wells.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Kitzbuhel, the Argentine lost against Misolic in the opening round in three tight sets. This week in Toronto, Etcheverry defeated Herbert in three tight sets after spending over two hours on the court.
According to the bookies, Griekspoor is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a better hard-court player than Etcheverry and is in better form. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Griekspoor winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Tallon Griekspoor winning @1.53 @bet365
Khachanov – Ficovich: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Karen Khachanov has won four of his last five matches. His last match was at Wimbledon, where he lost against Fritz in the quarterfinals. His last hard-court match was in March in Miami, where he lost against Dimitrov in the second round.
Juan Pablo Ficovich has won four of his last five matches. This week in Toronto, the Argentine player qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the opening main draw round, he upset Fearnley in straight sets. He served great, not offering any breakpoints.
According to the bookies, Khachanov is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Ficovich never succeeded at the ATP Tour level. On the other hand, Khachanov is the eleventh seed and a great hard-court player. We expect him to dominate from the start until the end.
That being said, Khachanov covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Karen Khachanov -5.5 games handicap @2.10 @bet365
