Albot approached the Seoul tournament in fine form. Albot won the Challenger in Istanbul, also on hard court. We believe that Radu will continue his winning streak and be able to outplay Johnson in the upcoming match.
The last two head-to-head encounters between the two tennis players have been protracted. We believe that the upcoming match will also be a tight affair and is likely to stretch over three sets.
Albot plays in Seoul after a successful performance at the Challenger in Istanbul. At that event, Radu took the tournament’s main trophy by beating Lukas Rosol (6-2, 6-0) in the final.
You can certainly say that Albot is in good form now. In the opening match in Seoul, Albot defeated Hiroki Moriya (6-3, 6-4) in two sets.
Albot has won seven of his last eight matches as a favourite.
Johnson has been performing without much consistency this season. After playing a quarter-final in Los Cabos, Steve failed to qualify for the Cincinnati Masters.
Then, came a third-round exit at Winston-Salem before Johnson left the US Open and San Diego Open after the first round.
In Seoul, Johnson faced local player Nam Ji-sung at the start of the tournament and beat him in two sets (7-6, 6-4).
Johnson has lost five of his last six matches in Asia.
In 4 of Albot’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 2.12.
Johnson has played three tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.02.
