Sock vs. Fognini
The two-time Intrum Stockholm Open runner-up – Jack Sock – continues his quest for a first ever title on this event. At the age of 25, the American is going through a rough time in his career with a poor 2 – 5 record since the Rogers Cup in August. Despite his lack of success in recent months, Sock didn’t experience any major problems on his opening match in Stockholm against Jeremy Chardy.
Known as one of the most talented players on the ATP World Tour, Fabio Fognini can beat almost anyone on his day. Despite his disappointing 28 – 34 career record on Indoor Hard Court, Fognini won 83.33% of the matches played on this surface in 2017. Taking a look now at Fabio’s campaign on this event, the unpredictable Italian reaches this stage of the competition after saving one match point against Elias Ymer on the previous round.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Sock emerging victorious from their previous encounter at the Miami Open in 2015.
Despite Jack’s lead on the h2h, it won’t be easy for the American to overcome such a talented player as Fognini. On the other hand, Sock’s inside out forehand won’t be as effective against Fabio’s brilliant backhand as it is against other opponents. With this in mind, the value is definitely on Fognini’s tennis betting odds at 34/25 at Pinnacle while William Hill offers 73/100 for Sock’s victory.
