Valentin Vacherot v Arthur Fils

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
A. Fils to win1.25
Price too short today - wait for 1.31 or bigger · our chance 77% · market 23/77, us 23/77

A. Fils is 9-1 over the last ten and 30-8 on hard this season. V. Vacherot is 6-4 over the last ten and 12-12 on hard this season. A. Fils has played 4 matches in seven days. The head to head is V. Vacherot 0-1.

The pick is A. Fils to win. We make it a 77% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.31 or bigger. At 1.25 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.
