Alexander Bublik v Tomas Machac

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
A. Bublik to win1.53
Price too short today - wait for 1.62 or bigger · our chance 62% · market 63/37, us 62/38

A. Bublik is 5-5 over the last ten and 12-10 on hard this season. T. Machac is 4-6 over the last ten and 11-11 on hard this season. The head to head is A. Bublik 2-0.

The pick is A. Bublik to win. We make it a 62% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.62 or bigger. At 1.53 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

An opinion from the numbers, not a guarantee. 19+, bet responsibly.

Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
