Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3) for Coric – 1.93.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.78.
Coric knocked out Nadal in the last round and is unlikely to want to rest on his laurels. Roberto, on the other hand, this season shows good and, most importantly, reliable tennis. However, I think it won’t be enough for Roberto to defeat Coric.
We believe that the upcoming match will be a long one. Coric definitely got an extra burst of positive emotions after beating Nadal, so he will definitely not be easy prey for Roberto in the upcoming match.
Bautista Agut had a strong first-round win over Francisco Cerundolo (6-7, 6-4, 6-2).
Francisco played a great first set, but Roberto was in control in the following sets.
In the second match, Roberto confidently defeated Marcos Giron (6-3, 6-3).
In Montreal last week, Bautista Agut also played two rounds before losing to Casper Ruud (7-6, 6-7, 4-6). The match against Casper was absolutely equal in terms of the quality of tennis shown by both players.
Bautista Agut’s best result in Cincinnati so far has been reaching the quarter-finals in 2019.
Bautista Agut has 4 wins in his last 5 Masters matches.
Coric, meanwhile, has been the biggest sensation of the week so far. Borna defeated Rafael Nadal (7-6, 4-6, 6-3).
Borna was phenomenal in a match that lasted less than three hours. On the one hand, you could say that Coric took advantage of the fact that it was Rafa’s first game after injury.
However, really, the emphasis has to be placed primarily on Borna’s superb play. Just think about it, Nadal had only one break point. Yes, Rafa got it, but that’s nonsense for him anyway.
Coric became the third player to play at least five matches against Nadal and leads in head-to-head encounters.
In the last 10 meetings against higher-ranked opponents, Coric has celebrated victory 8 times.
In 3 of his last 5 matches, Coric has played more than 9.5 games in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.67.
Bautista Agut has played four tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.14.
