Ryan Nijboer v Nico Hipfl

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
R. Nijboer to win1.40
Price too short today - wait for 1.55 or bigger · our chance 65% · market 66/34, us 65/35

R. Nijboer is 7-3 over the last ten and 43-20 on clay this season. N. Hipfl is 5-5 over the last ten and 18-16 on clay this season. R. Nijboer has played 4 matches in seven days.

The pick is R. Nijboer to win. We make it a 65% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.55 or bigger. At 1.40 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.
