Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2.5) for Ramos-Vinolas – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 22 – 1.85.
It will be very difficult for O’Connell to fight Ramos on the clay, no matter how well he performs. For the Spaniard, it’s the most comfortable surface. He’s played over 900 matches on it in his career.
Seven of O’Connell’s last eight matches have been played in two sets. It’s unlikely to change much tonight.
Ramos-Vinolas has not been performing at his best on the clay lately. Only in Estoril, did he manages to reach the semi-finals. At other events, he dropped out at an early stage. For example, he lost in Madrid to Marin Cilic (6-3, 3-6, 4-6) and in Rome to Tommy Paul (6-4, 6-4).
Ramos had previously made regular appearances in Geneva. However, he never got any further than the quarter-finals. The last time that happened was in 2019. He was then stopped by Federico Delbonis one step away from the semi-finals.
O’Connell is one of those Australians who can play on the clay. Christopher has not had much success, but he has been doing reasonably well at the Challenger level. This season, he has won 11 of his 14 matches on the surface. His biggest success was the Challenger in Split, where he won the title.
Ranked 124 in the world rankings, O’Connell did not make it into the main draw at Geneva. He had to play in the qualifiers. Christopher coped with this task. First, the Australian representative got past Goncalo Oliveira (7-6, 6-4). Then, he defeated Benjamin Hassan (7-6, 6-4).
In 3 of Ramos-Vinolas’ last 4 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 the odds of 1.87.
