Mannarino vs. Ferrer
The 2012 Rolex Paris Masters champion – David Ferrer – continues his quest for a second ATP World Tour title of the season. Known as one of the greatest competitors in tennis history, the 35-year-old can never be underestimated. On the other hand, Ferrer feels well suited to the slow court conditions in Paris with an incredible 77.78% winning record over his last five appearances on this tournament.
Adrian Mannarino is going through the best moment in his career. Besides reaching his first ever ATP World Tour 500 Final in Tokyo, the world no.28 pushed Roger Federer to three sets last week at the Swiss Indoors Basel. Nevertheless, the slow conditions on this event are far from ideal for Mannarino’s game style. Looking now at Adrian’s previous appearances in Paris, the 29-year-old holds a terrible 2 – 6 career record at the Rolex Paris Masters.
This will be the 3rd career meeting between these two players with Ferrer leading on the h2h by 2 – 0.
As the h2h suggests, Ferrer is far from an easy match-up for the French. Despite David’s lack of success in recent months, it won’t be easy for Mannarino to find the answer to Ferrer’s extraordinary consistency. On the other hand, the slow court conditions in Paris should benefit Ferrer on this match. With this in mind, the value is definitely on the Spaniard’s tennis betting odds to win this contest at 5/4 at Pinnacle while Mannarino is available at 71/100 at 5Dimes.
