BNP Paribas Open Men’s QF
If Roger Federer plays his cards right, he could end up being at the top of another important tournament.
Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, the favourites of many betting websites to win the Indian Wells, were sent home early. He sent Rafael Nadal home in straight sets. The betting odds are slowly looking his way as he charms the American crowd once more with his tennis.
If he plays his cards right, he’ll be the last man standing. Punters who’ll back him could also see a huge reward for their mobile betting decision.
Pablo Carreno Busta vs Pablo Cuevas
These two are making big strides for the year’s first ATP 1000 tournament, a feat that will help them climb the rankings. The two last met in Sao Paolo, where Cuevas played more comfortably than the Spaniard.
However, the hard court has never been the Uruguayan’s friend, and Carreno Busta slightly bests him on this surface. The young Spaniard has this game in his pocket if he outplays the older Cuevas.
If you’re interested in punting, make the bet for Carreno Busta -1.50 @ 2.96.
Stanislas Wawrinka vs Dominic Thiem
Stanislas Wawrinka is the highest-ranked ATP player in the tournament, so he is expected to easily win against Austria’s Dominic Thiem. Both players have solid games on the hard surface, but the Swiss’ return record is a tad better than Thiem’s. And in this level of competition, a minute difference can spell the difference between victory and defeat.
If Wawrinka comes into the match 100% ready, he should have a foot in the door of the final. Betting websites give Wawrinka a -1.50 Asian handicap for 2.66.
Kei Nishikori vs Jack Sock
The Nishikori-Sock game is interesting for various reasons.
Nishikori is higher ranked than the American, but Sock has the home crowd behind his every serve and smash. The Japanese—ranked fifth-best player in the world—has a better receiving game on hard courts compared to Sock, and that could spell the difference. Both players had good runs on hard-surface tilts, so this can end a lot closer than what you think.
With the help of the audience, the hometown boy has a good chance of advancing to the semi-final. Betting on Sock with a +1.50 boost for 1.72 is not a bad idea.
Roger Federer vs Nick Kyrgios
The tennis legend is now the heavy favourite to outright win the tournament, but Nick Kyrgios could give him a run for his money.
The Swiss and the Australian only played each other last in the Madrid Masters, and the end result was a hotly contested match that saw every set go the distance. It’s not easy to dismiss the young Kyrgios, but Federer is too dominant at the moment to even give him the light of day.
It would be unwise to bet on Federer at this moment, so taking a -1.50 handicap could win you 2.42.
