Best Tennis Tips and Predictions Today
Based on the latest tennis odds, these are the wagers we recommend today:
Eubanks to Defeat Safiullin @ 2/1
Is there a more fearsome sight than Chris Eubanks getting some momentum on a fast court, with an American crowd behind him? Don’t get us wrong – Eubanks hasn’t exactly been Mr. Consistent over the past few years. There’s a reason he’s ranked No. 120 in the world and needed a wildcard just to play at the Winston-Salem Open.
However, he’s gone on hot streaks before. Think Wimbledon 2023 (made the quarter-finals, defeating Cam Norrie and Stefanos Tsitsipas) or Mallorca 2023 (won the tournament), or even the Miami Masters earlier that year (went through qualifying to the quarter-finals). When Eubanks is hitting the ball sweetly, he’s a tough beat.
Safiullin, on the other hand, has had a rough season. He’s fallen outside the world’s top 50, and has a losing record in 2024. Yes, he won a Challenger recently, but if anything, we expect that will work against him given the tight turnaround. Back Eubanks in this one.
Coric vs Hijikata Under 22.5 Games @ 5/6
Former world No. 12 Borna Coric is also having a challenging year, falling to No. 87 in the rankings after a 9-15 record coming into Winston-Salem. However, back-to-back wins this week have sparked a bit of momentum, and we think he’ll do well against Rinky Hijikata.
Hijikata is coming off an epic against Arthur Cazaux, which he won in a deciding set tiebreak. We think he’ll be gassed from that, and won’t be able to withstand Coric’s sweet hitting on Wednesday.
