The BNP Paribas Open quarter-finals come to an end this Friday with Jack Sock and Kei Nishikori fighting for a place in the following round. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Sock vs. Nishikori
Regardless of this Friday’s result one thing is certain, Jack Sock already secured his career high ranking next week. Known as a tremendous competitor, Sock’s record in Indian Wells shows how difficult it is to beat him. Looking at Jack’s victories throughout his career in the Californian desert, 71.43% of those occurred after dropping the opening set – two of them on this year’s edition against Grigor Dimitrov and Malek Jaziri.
For the second consecutive year, Kei Nishikori reaches the BNP Paribas Open quarter-finals. After losing in that stage 12 months ago against Rafael Nadal, Nishikori is trying to go a step further this season. Taking a look now at Kei’s campaign in Indian Wells, the Japanese didn’t experience any major problems so far with three straight sets wins against dangerous opponents such as Dan Evans, Gilles Muller and Donald Young.
Despite the balance on the h2h with one victory for each player, Nishikori is clearly at a higher level. Having said that, Kei is the undeniable favourite to win this match with Coral offering 2/5 for his victory while Sock is available at 241/100 at Pinnacle. For those who want to take a higher risk, Kei’s -3.0 game handicap at 83/100 at Pinnacle is also a great option for this contest.
