Don’t miss our top tennis plays for this Friday’s action in London with the players from the top half of the draw fighting for a place in the 4th round. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Paire vs. Janowicz
After an impressive victory over Lucas Pouille in the previous round, Jerzy Janowicz improved his career record in Wimbledon to 76.19%. Known as one of the best servers in the game, the fast court conditions on grass are perfect for Janowicz’s game style. Looking now at Jerzy’s numbers throughout this tournament, the world no.141 won 95.00% of his service games in Wimbledon.
Benoit Paire continues his sensational run at the All England Club. Despite his terrible 45.71% career record on this surface, the talented French is going through one of the best moments in his career. Considering now Benoit’s numbers in the previous round against Pierre-Hugues Herbert, the 28-year-old French ended the match with an astonishing 1.80 winners / unforced errors ratio.
The bookmakers expect a very close contest with Janowicz as the slight favourite at 4/5 at Bet365 while Pinnacle offers 11/10 for Paire’s victory. Although we agree with Jerzy’s favouritism due to his brilliant record on this event, it’s hard to go against such a talented player as Benoit. For that reason, our advice is for you to place a bet on the Over 39.5 games at 9/10 at Pinnacle.
Nishikori vs. Bautista Agut
The 2014 US Open runner-up – Kei Nishikori – continues to pursue his first Grand Slam title. Despite his incredible quality, Nishikori is also known as one of the most injury-prone players on the ATP World Tour. Despite some doubts regarding his physical condition, the world no.9 seems fully recovered from his recent injury. Taking a look now at Kei’s campaign on this tournament, the 27-year-old Japanese reaches this stage of the competition after a terrific victory over Sergiy Stakhovsky.
At the age of 29, Roberto Bautista Agut is going through the best moment in his career. Known as one of the greatest competitors on the game, Bautista Agut is always a dangerous opponent on any surface. Roberto’s career record on grass is a good example of that with the world no.19 winning 66.67% of the matches played on this surface.
This should be a very entertaining contest between two outstanding baseliners. After winning all their previous four encounters, Nishikori deserves to be the clear favourite to win this match at 41/100 at Pinnacle while William Hill offers 21/10 for Roberto’s victory. For those who want to take a higher risk, Kei’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 77/100 at SBOBet is also a very interesting approach for this contest.
