Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5.5) for Sousa – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20.5 – 2.12.
Sousa is looking pretty good at the current tournament in Geneva. He has won all his matches in two sets. Joao seems to have a pretty good feel for the local surface, so we don’t underestimate him. We believe that Sousa will be able to at least take a set from Ruud in the upcoming meeting.
Ruud is the favourite, but we think he will have a tough match. Sousa has made good progress. Victories over Basilashvili, Ivashka and Gasquet show that the Joao is in good form. So it is unlikely to be an easy walk for Ruud.
João Sousa plays one of the best matches I’ve seen him ever play to easily beat Richard Gasquet 6-2, 6-2 and reach the final in Geneva.
