Lloyd Harris v Alex Bolt

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanVOID
L. Harris to win1.17
Price too short today - wait for 1.26 or bigger · our chance 80% · market 79/21, us 80/20

L. Harris is 8-2 over the last ten and 35-10 on hard this season. A. Bolt is 6-4 over the last ten and 18-15 on hard this season. L. Harris has played 5 matches in seven days. A. Bolt took a medical timeout on 2026-09-23.

The pick is L. Harris to win. We make it a 80% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.26 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.
