Best Tennis Tips and Predictions Today
Based on the latest tennis odds, here are the bets we're recommend you jump on today:
Tsitsipas -4.5 Handicap vs Fognini @ 4/6
Tsitsipas has been on fire this season with a 30-12 win-loss record and a title in Monte-Carlo. His grass-court campaign was brief, but he made quite the splash during the clay season. Fognini, on the other hand, is struggling to stay relevant in mainstream tennis with an 8-6 win-loss record this year.
In Gstaad, Tsitsipas got a first-round bye and then took down Hamad Medjedovic in the second round to secure his spot in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Fognini defeated Titouan Droguet in the first round and moved on to oust Juan Pablo Varillas in the second. Historically, Tsitsipas has dominated Fognini with a 4-0 head-to-head record.
There’s no doubt Tsitsipas is the favorite to win, even with a handicap.
Nadal -1.5 Handicap vs Navone @ 10/11
Nadal might not have played much this season, but the fact remains that the 22-time Grand Slam champion has reached a level of tennis greatness that few can match. With the Olympics on the horizon, it's clear that the “King of Clay” is putting in the work, preparing diligently before his eventual retirement.
Nadal's Bastad campaign has been phenomenal, and the same goes for his quarter-final opponent, Mariano Navone. Both have performed wonderfully, but with the Olympics just around the corner, you can bet that veteran Nadal will give it his all to secure the win and make his mark.
We're calling Nadal to win this one.
Rune vs Fils Total Games Over 22.5 @ 10/11
This one is going to be a really close encounter as both the youngsters clash to grab their first title of the season. Rune’s been making waves on every clay court he steps on, with his recent standout match against Djokovic grabbing everyone's attention.
The 21-year-old Rune has taken on heavyweights like Zverev, Sinner, and Ruud, giving them a run for their money. At the Hamburg Open, he started strong by beating Fabian Marozsan in the first round and continued with a victory over Marco Trungelliti to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Arthur Fils has been striving to break into the tennis scene. He's faced tough battles against Zverev, Musetti, and Ruud, but hasn't managed to clinch a breakthrough yet.
Our prediction? Rune takes it 2-1.
