Stan Wawrinka capitalized on an overwhelming H2H record against a deteriorating Albert Ramos Viñolas in his first-up match in North Africa, but his second contest against a much fitter looks a tougher task. There’s no doubt when Stan is fresh and firing he still has … Continue readingJake’s Marrakech Preview: Navone vs. Wawrinka
I didn’t think I’d be here this week but David Goffin at odds-on appeals to me at Marrakech. Goffin, who won this tournament in 2022, looks a class above Moreno De Alboran who took out a potent but potentially rusty Diaz Acosta in his round … Continue readingJake’s Marrakech Preview: Goffin
Out-of-form Brit Dan Evans will look to topple the defending champion at Marrakech tonight as Roberto Carballes Baena looks to make it three-for-three against the 33-year-old. The pair played at this venue last season, with the Spaniard winning 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, before he took him … Continue readingJake’s Marrakech Preview: Evans vs. Baena
The relentless flow of money for Spain’s Pedro Martinez – at the ATP 250 level – does have me somewhat concerned about some concealed information, but I have to trust my guns and make a play on the German at a silly price. Although Altmaier … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Preview: Altmaier vs. Martinez
There will be dissertation from me when it comes to this bet, but I found $3.20 to be pretty big given the expected prices for the Spaniard. After surprisingly dominating Kecmanovic in conditions I didn’t think he’d enjoy, he’ll play Altmaier/Martinez then Thiem or Gasquet. … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Preview: Quarter 2
I am almost certain that the level Henrique Rocha produced to win Challenger Murcia two weeks ago is good enough to an ageing and rusty Gael Monfils a proper run for his money, here. While Monfils has produced some sort of resurgence on hard courts … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Preview: Rocha vs. Monfils
You could make a case that this is the biggest match of Joao Sousa’s career. I mean, when you come to the end of your professional tennis journey, that last match is always a big one. But, a lot of the time, you don’t know … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Preview: Fils vs. Sousa
I don’t often like betting against someone who is at the bottom of their market value, but that’s what I’ll be doing in Estoril’s opening round. Botic Van De Zandschulp has had a year from hell as it honestly seems like he’s sustained a serious … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Preview: Coria vs. Van De Zandschulp
Doing my best to juggle responsibilities between tournaments but had to change the order in which I study them to make this bet at Portugal. Lorenzo Musetti looks a massive price to get the job done at Estoril after the birth of his first child … Continue readingJake’s Estoril Outright Preview
Hey, guys. Sinner’s win this morning over Dimitrov allowed us to re-eclipse the +4% mark, although it’s not a figure I’m satisfied with. Given we have the luxury of betting into niche market types, the ultimate goal would be much closer to 10%. Let’s see … Continue readingJake’s Houston Preview: Quarter Two
