Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+3) for O’Connell – 1.53.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.71.
Kubler was great at the beginning of the year, but he’s performed much worse in the second half of the season. His results are poor and his game is not good either. We believe that it will be very difficult for him to confirm his status as the favourite in the upcoming match.
Kubler looks like a small favourite in this match, but the current playing conditions of the Australian are far from ideal, so his easy victory in the upcoming match is very difficult to believe. We believe that the upcoming match will be a long one.
O’Connell has performed poorly in recent tournaments in North America, including the US Open. In New York, Christopher lost straight away to James Duckworth (6-4, 6-7, 2-6, 3-6).
In Winton-Salem O’Connell qualified, but lost in the first round to Adrian Mannarino (6-7, 7-6, 6-7). Remarkably, in his match against Adrian, it came down to a tie-break in all three sets.
At the Cincinnati Masters, O`Connell lost in the first round to Jaume Munar (4-6, 7-6, 1-6).
O’Connell’s biggest success this year remains to reach the third round of the Australian Open. At the home major, he defeated Hugo Gaston and Diego Schwartzman.
Kubler has performed much better than O’Connell of late. At the US Open, Jason got through the first round before losing in the second to Francis Tiafoe (6-7, 5-7, 6-7), who stopped Rafael Nadal and Andrei Rublev shortly afterwards. However, in the match against Tiafoe in two sets, everything was decided only on the tie-break.
Jason also won one match each at Los Cabos and Winston-Salem as well as reached the semi-finals at the grass-court tournament in Newport.
Kubler’s main achievement this year is reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon.
Kubler has notched up eight wins in his last ten matches against lower-ranked opponents.
In 4 of Kubler’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.63.
