ATP Masters 1000 Toronto 1/16-Finals

Rublev – Sonego: Time TBA
H2H: 3-2

Andrey Rublev has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Rublev lost to Tien in the opening round in straight sets. His biggest result this season was winning the title in Doha at the beginning of the season. This week in Toronto, Rublev defeated Gaston in the opening round in straight sets.

Lorenzo Sonego has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, Sonego lost in the opening round against Arnaldi in straight sets. So far this season on hard courts, the Italian has done well at the Australian Open. Other than that, he struggled in every tournament. This week in Toronto, he defeated Bu in the opening round in straight sets easily.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Rublev is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Sonego dominated in the opening round. His serve was almost untouchable. He has already defeated Rublev two times, and we expect him to keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Lorenzo Sonego +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Tien – Opelka: Time TBA
H2H: 1-0

Learner Tien has won four of his last five matches. This week in Toronto, the American defeated Smith in the opening round in straight sets. Besides losing his serve once, Tien served well throughout the match. In the second round, he defeated Shapovalov in straight sets.

Reilly Opelka has won three of his last five matches. This week in Toronto, the American defeated Ofner in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving seven out of seven breakpoints. In the second round, Opelka defeated Machac in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Tien is in solid form and has defeated solid hard-court players throughout the past few weeks. Opelka struggled with his form this season. We expect Tien to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Tien winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Learner Tien winning @1.80 @bet365

Zverev – Arnaldi: Time TBA
H2H: 1-0

Alexander Zverev has won three of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Toronto was at Wimbledon, where Rinderknech upset him in the opening round. This week in Toronto, Zverev defeated Walton in the opening round in straight sets.

Matteo Arnaldi has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Washington, the Italian lost to Fritz in the 1/8-Finals. This week, Arnaldi defeated Schoolkate in the opening round in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Arnaldi is the big underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Zverev played defensively against Walton and struggled a lot on the court. Arnaldi is a solid all-around player, and we believe he can keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Matteo Arnaldi +3.5 games handicap @2.10 @bet365
