ATP Masters 1000 Toronto 1/16-Finals

Borges – Ruud: Time TBA
H2H: 1-1

Nuno Borges has lost three of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Toronto was in Bastad, where he lost against Misolic in the opening round in three sets. This week in Toronto, Borges defeated Bagnis in the opening round in three sets.

Casper Ruud has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played before the ATP Toronto was in Gstaad on clay, where he lost to Cerundolo in the quarterfinals. This week in Toronto, Ruud defeated Safiullin in straight sets in the opening round. Around this time last season, Ruud lost against Korda in the 1/8-Finals.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Ruud is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He dominated against Safiullin in the opening round. On the other hand, Borges struggled against Bagnis. We expect Ruud to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Ruud winning in straight sets is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Casper Ruud winning 2-0 @2.25 @bet365

Etcheverry – Cerundolo: Time TBA:
H2H: 3-2

Tomas Martin Etcheverry has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Kitzbühel, 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. He upset Griekspoor in the second round in straight sets.

Francisco Cerundolo has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Umag, Cerundolo played on clay, where he lost to Taberner in three tight sets in the opening round. This week in Toronto, the Argentine defeated Munar in three tight sets after playing for over three hours.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Cerundolo is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Etcheverry dominated against Griekspoor in the second round. He leads 3-2 in head-to-head meetings. In their only meeting on hard courts, Etcheverry won in five tight sets. We expect Etcheverry to keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Tomas Martin Etcheverry +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Khachanov – Nava: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting

Karen Khachanov has won four of his last five matches. This week in Toronto, Khachanov defeated Ficovich in the opening round in straight sets.

Emiliano Nava has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Nava lost against Tien in the opening round in straight sets. This week in Toronto, the American qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the opening main draw round, Nava defeated Bergs in straight sets. Atmane had no chance in the second round against the American.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Khachanov is the big favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Nava dominated in both matches this week. He enjoys playing on fast, hard courts. We expect him to serve well and keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Emiliano Nava +4.5 games handicap @1.67 @bet365
