Stefanos Sakellaridis v Yuta Shimizu

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
S. Sakellaridis to win 2-02.05
Price too short today - wait for 2.22 or bigger · our chance 45% · market 69/31, us 75/25

S. Sakellaridis is 5-5 over the last ten and 24-9 on hard this season. Y. Shimizu is 5-5 over the last ten and 22-19 on hard this season.

The pick is S. Sakellaridis to win 2-0. We make it a 45% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.22 or bigger. At 2.05 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.
