Miguel Damas v Matej Dodig

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
M. Dodig to win 2-01.74
Price too short today - wait for 1.92 or bigger · our chance 52% · market 24/76, us 19/81

M. Dodig is 8-2 over the last ten and 27-11 on clay this season. M. Damas is 6-4 over the last ten and 22-25 on clay this season. M. Damas retired from a match in the last month.

The pick is M. Dodig to win 2-0. We make it a 52% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.92 or bigger. At 1.74 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.
