Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
C. Alcaraz to win 2-01.80
Price too short today - wait for 2.13 or bigger · our chance 47% · market 73/27, us 77/23

C. Alcaraz is 8-2 over the last ten and 20-3 on hard this season. T. Fritz is 7-3 over the last ten and 22-11 on hard this season. The head to head is C. Alcaraz 6-1.

The pick is C. Alcaraz to win 2-0. We make it a 47% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.13 or bigger. At 1.80 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.
