Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Carreno Busta – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.85.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended in Carreno-Busta’s victory. He will be favoured in the upcoming match. Pablo, of course, is not a big fan of grass tennis, but he can still play good tennis even on this surface from time to time.
They met at the Australian Open this season and it was a tightly fought game. We expect the upcoming match to be tight as well. Though Korda is the favourite, Carreno Busta can make difficulties for Sebastian in the upcoming match.
Carreno Busta started the tournament by beating Holger Rune (6-3, 7-6). Rune could not take at least one game on reception. In this match, Pablo played perfectly on his serve.
Pablo managed to convert one break point in the first set and got the second on a tie-break.
Remarkably, for Carreno Busta, it was the first match on grass this season.
In May, Carreno Busta failed in four tournaments at once. If in Rome he made at least one round, in Madrid, Lyon and at Roland Garros he dropped out after the first round.
Carreno Busta has lost five times in his last seven fixtures as an underdog.
Korda, meanwhile, quietly beat Cristian Garin (6-2, 6-3) in the first round. Sebastian had no problems at all in this match.
Garin is clearly not the kind of player who can cause trouble on grass.
Sebastian reached the quarter-finals in Halle last year, where he lost to Ugo Humbert (2-6, 7-6, 4-6). Soon after, he won three matches at Wimbledon.
Korda has recorded four wins in his last six matches against seeded opponents.
In 3 of Korda’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 1.62.
