Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
P. Llamas Ruiz to win 2-02.00
Price too short today - wait for 2.15 or bigger · our chance 47% · market 71/29, us 76/24

P. Llamas Ruiz is 5-5 over the last ten and 22-6 on clay this season. P. Nesterov is 5-5 over the last ten and 34-15 on clay this season.

The pick is P. Llamas Ruiz to win 2-0. We make it a 47% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.15 or bigger. At 2.00 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.
