Join us while we go through the most valuable tennis play for this Saturday’s action in Halle. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odd from green listed bookmakers.
Zverev vs. Gasquet
As we predicted in our ATP Halle quarter-finals analysis, Alexander Zverev proved too strong for Roberto Bautista Agut. Despite losing the opening set, Zverev didn’t face a single break point throughout the entire match. Adding to this, the 20-year-old German fired an impressive average of 1.27 aces per service game. After Florian Mayer’s defeat in the previous round, Zverev is the last German player remaining in competition.
Known as one of the most talented players on the ATP World Tour, Richard Gasquet is an exceptional grass-court player. With an outstanding 69.66% winning record on this surface, Gasquet is just one win away from reaching his 4th career final on grass. Taking a look now at Richard’s campaign in Halle, the world no.30 reaches this stage of the competition after a 6 – 1 3 – 6 6 – 1 win over Robin Haase.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Zverev emerging victorious from their previous encounter in Montpellier earlier this season.
Despite Gasquet’s undeniable quality, the French has been far from impressive in recent months. With Zverev serving at such a high level, it won’t be easy for Richard to break the German’s serve. Having said that, Alexander is the clear favourite to win this match at 11/25 at Coral while Pinnacle offers 219/100 for Gasquet’s victory. For those who want to take a higher risk, Zverev to win in straight sets at 6/5 at Ladbrokes is also a very interesting approach for this contest.
