Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+1.5) for Cressy – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 25.5 – 1.70.
The only game between Cressy and Opelka was won by Maxime. He is favoured in the upcoming match. Cressy has played four matches on grass this season, while Opelka has played just one. We believe that it is Cressy who has the best chance of success in the upcoming confrontation.
The only match between them was played in three sets. We expect the winner of this upcoming match to be decided after three sets as well.
Cressy reached the final in Melbourne at the start of the year, won three matches at the Australian Open and after that threatened to get close to the top 10 in a short space of time.
At the same time, many commented on Cressy’s incredibly boring style of play. A powerful serve and a quick return to the net if his opponent fails to receive him is the whole style. This guy does not even try to play differently.
In general, since the Australian major, Cressy has had a string of losses on the ATP main grid.
Maxime has only managed to reach the second round at one of the 11 previous tournaments he has played at. At this rate, he will never even make the top 50.
Cressy has won three of the last five meetings with the compatriots.
Opelka has only played one game on grass so far. He lost to Alex De Minaur (4-6, 4-6) in the first round of the Cinch Open.
Opelka, of course, is not that primitive, but his game also depends on the first serve. If at least one breakdown happens on the first ball – that’s it.
Still, there is far more variety in Opelka’s tennis than in Cressey’s. Otherwise, Reilly would never have risen to 18th in the rankings.
Opelka has lost his last four matches on grass.
In 4 of Opelka’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 the odds of 1.20.
Cressy has played four tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 1.88.
