Best Tennis Tips and Predictions Today
Based on the latest tennis odds, here are the bets we're recommend you jump on today:
Medvedev to Beat Davidovich Fokina in Straight Sets @ 1/2
This has not been Alejandro Davidovich Fokina’s year. The former world No. 21 has slipped out of the top 40 in the rankings now, and coming into Montreal, held a 13-15 win-loss ratio for the year.
Despite a good win in the opening round, 6-2, 7-5 over Roman Safiullin, the Spaniard has a big task ahead of him in the form of Daniil Medvedev on Thursday. The Russian holds a 4-0 head-to-head advantage over Davidovich Fokina, and is well placed for a deep run in Montreal this week.
Medvedev is a hard court specialist. After a sedate season so far in 2024 by his standards, he’ll be focused on ending the year strong. Expect him to move past Davidovich Fokina with ruthless efficiency in straight sets.
Thompson +3.5 Handicap Against Zverev @ 1/1
For our second betting tip, we’re backing Australia’s Jordan Thompson to continue his strong run of form and hold his own against world No. 4 Alexander Zverev. While we don’t necessarily believe the Aussie will win, he should at least make this competitive and fall within 3.5 games of Zverev.
Zverev received a bye in the opening round of Montreal, and will still be licking his wounds after losing in the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Thompson, meanwhile, gained an impressive victory over the rising Jack Draper, defeating the Brit 7-5, 6-2 on Wednesday. Back him to keep this match tight, forcing at least one tiebreaker.
