Zangar Nurlanuly v Tomas Machac

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
T. Machac to win1.02
Price too short today - wait for 1.08 or bigger · our chance 93% · market 7/93, us 7/93

T. Machac is 4-6 over the last ten and 13-13 on hard this season. Z. Nurlanuly is 6-4 over the last ten and 8-5 on hard this season. Z. Nurlanuly retired from a match in the last month.

The pick is T. Machac to win. We make it a 93% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.08 or bigger. At 1.02 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.
