Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-2) for Huesler – 1.88.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Under 23 – 1.77.
Cerundolo is looking good this season, but against Huesler he doesn’t stand much chance. After all, Francisco will be competing on a non-prolific surface. His rival will be a tennis player who is very good on indoors. Maybe Francisco will be able to put up some resistance against Huesler, but we don’t believe in a final victory for Cerundolo.
In Cerundolo’s last three matches at indoors, no more than 23 games have been played. It is very likely that nothing will change now.
A fortnight ago, Huesler had a spectacular performance in Sofia. He won the title. In the final, Marc-Andrea defeated Holger Rune (6-4, 7-6).
However, at the next tournament, Huesler had an unpleasant surprise. He dropped out of the Astana Open after the first round. He had a very weak encounter with Emil Ruusuvuori. He lost to Emil with a smashing score – 0:6, 2:6.
In the previous six meetings against the top 50, Huesler had four wins.
Cerundolo is still just taking his first steps in the tournaments that are taking place on the indoor hard courts. Last season, he did not play in such competitions. However, in 2022, he played only three such matches.
His only win came in Gijon when he beat Manuel Guinard (7-6, 6-2). In the other two matches, Francisco lost to Hubert Hurkacz (2-6, 6-7) and Dominic Thiem (4-6, 3-6).
Cerundolo has lost three of his last five matches against left-handers.
In 3 of Huesler’s last 4 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 odds of 1.64.
