Sebastian Baez v Valentin Vacherot

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
V. Vacherot to win 2-01.72
Price too short today - wait for 2.17 or bigger · our chance 46% · market 27/73, us 24/76

V. Vacherot is 7-3 over the last ten and 13-13 on hard this season. S. Baez is 5-5 over the last ten and 24-13 on hard this season.

The pick is V. Vacherot to win 2-0. We make it a 46% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.17 or bigger. At 1.72 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.

Did not play

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.
