Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
C. Alcaraz to win1.17
Price too short today - wait for 1.22 or bigger · our chance 82% · market 19/81, us 18/82

C. Alcaraz is 8-2 over the last ten and 28-4 on hard this season. K. Khachanov is 6-4 over the last ten and 20-15 on hard this season. The head to head is K. Khachanov 0-6.

The pick is C. Alcaraz to win. We make it a 82% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.22 or bigger. At 1.17 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.
