The action continues in Atlanta with Jack Sock and Kyle Edmund facing each other this Friday at the BB&T Atlanta Open quarter-finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Sock vs. Edmund
Playing in the U.S. brings the best out of Jack Sock with a phenomenal 82.61% winning record over the last 12 months in his home country. Despite his lack of success in recent weeks, Sock didn’t experience any problems on his debut in Atlanta with an easy 6 – 4 6 – 3 win over Dudi Sela. Taking a look now at Jack’s numbers in the previous round, the highlight definitely goes to his performance on pressure points with the 24-year-old American saving all the six break points he faced on that match.
At the age of 22, Kyle Edmund continues to pursue his first career title. Known as one of the most promising young players on the ATP World Tour, Edmund has been far from impressive in 2017. In addition to his poor 18 – 19 record this season, the world no.45 lost 84.62% of his last 13 matches against top 50 opponents. Looking now at Kyle’s campaign in Atlanta, the 22-year-old Brit was on the brink of elimination in the previous round against the German qualifier Peter Gojowczyk.
Due to Kyle’s lack of success against higher ranked opponents and poor performance in the previous round, it’s hard to ignore Sock’s current tennis betting odds. The no.1 American is available at 67/100 at Coral while Pinnacle offers 147/100 for Edmund’s victory. Besides the value on Jack’s moneyline, placing a bet on his -2.5 game handicap at 51/50 at Pinnacle is also be an interesting approach for this contest.
