As the Olympics tennis event approaches, the ATP Tour is currently hosting several tournaments. We have identified some noteworthy matchups and have compiled a selection of top betting options for consideration on Wednesday.
Here are our top tennis tips and predictions based on the latest odds:
1. Hamad Medjedovic to Win a Set vs Stefanos Tsitsipas @ 8/13
Promising talent Hamad Medjedovic is scheduled to compete against Stefanos Tsitsipas in an intriguing match in Gstaad. Following his loss in Wimbledon qualifying, Medjedovic has been actively participating in the clay circuit, reaching the quarter-finals at the Salzburg Challenger. Conversely, Tsitsipas has not played a clay match since the French Open.
In a previous match against a prominent ATP Tour player, Medjedovic pushed Daniil Medvedev to a deciding set. We anticipate a similar level of performance from the world No. 102 against Tsitsipas, who may require some time to adapt to the change in playing surface.
2. Casper Ruud to Beat Thiago Monteiro 2-0 @ 8/15
Norwegian player Casper Ruud is renowned for his adeptness on European clay courts. Having only participated in two matches on grass this year, Ruud is eager to return to his preferred red clay as he prepares for a potential run at the Olympics.
Ruud’s opponent, Thiago Monteiro from Brazil, is a respectable clay court player but is not expected to match Ruud’s proficiency. These ATP 250 tournaments are where Ruud excels, leading to the post-Wimbledon clay court swing being aptly named ‘the Ruud swing’ among tennis enthusiasts. Expect Ruud to dominate this match on Wednesday.
3. Maximilian Marterer +3.5 Handicap vs Francisco Cerundolo @ 1/1
In Hamburg, local favourite Maximilian Marterer is aiming for a strong performance in front of his home crowd as he faces Francisco Cerundolo. With Cerundolo’s inconsistent form this year, having lost his last four matches, Marterer is expected to put up a strong challenge.
While Cerundolo managed to win his opening match, it was only by a margin of four games against a lucky loser ranked No. 100 in the world. Playing on his home turf, Marterer should be able to give Cerundolo a competitive match.
