Match Betting Previews
Grigor Dimitrov versus Alexander Zverev
Grigor Dimitrov has had a week of pure resurgence at the French Open, and his level looks to be going up even higher for the near future.
Right now, the Bulgarian #1 is reverting to his old form and peak tennis.
The one-handed backhand is still one of the best in the game and his ability to navigate points on clay is also very admirable.
Dimitrov has gotten here off the back of several comfortable victories, with his most impressive one being a three to nil victory over Daniel Altmaier last round.
Dimitrov is without a doubt one of the most talented players to touch the court, but injuries and inconsistencies have plagued his career badly.
He will look to get another landmark result against Sascha Zverev.
Alexander Zverev is one of the best clay court players on the tour when he’s on.
Winning multiple titles on this surface in his career, Zverev finds himself at home with his ability to stay in points without conceding too much ground.
His win over Tiafoe was special, and his mentality stayed true until the very end of the match.
Zverev is finally kicking into gear and looks to rewrite history on what was a sad ending to his 2022 campaign.
Betting Prediction - Zverev -1.5 sets and the moneyline.
Nicolas Jarry versus Casper Ruud R16
Nicolas Jarry and Casper Ruud is a match that you should be tuned in on, no matter what player you are a fan of.
Both of these players have had insane battles on this surface throughout their careers, and specifically this past month in Geneva.
Jarry is regaining his 2020 form, which was cut short after he was tested as positive for a PED.
Regardless, Casper Ruud will look to defend his finals points after a horrible start to the 2023 season by his standards.
Jarry will be supremely hard to break with his serve, and Ruud will want to dig in on the rallies.
Betting Prediction - Jarry ML and the match to go over games and possibly five sets.
