The action continues in Monte Carlo with the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters 1st round coming to an end this Tuesday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Muller vs. Robredo
At the age of 33, Gilles Muller is going through the best moment in his career. Besides reaching his career high ranking as the world no.27, Muller also won his first title on the ATP World Tour earlier this season in Sydney. However, Gilles’ powerful serve and offensive game style is far from effective on clay with the Luxembourger winning only 51.35% of the matches played on this surface. Adding to this, Muller is still looking for his first win in Monte Carlo after losing on his debut last year against Gael Monfils.
Despite his recent physical problems, Tommy Robredo continues to be one of the greatest competitors in the game. Playing in Monte Carlo brings great memories to Robredo with the former world no.5 winning 65.22% of the matches played on this event since 2006. Even though this is the first clay court tournament for most players in 2017, Tommy already played two events in South-America back in February and another one last week in Marrakech.
These two players know each other for a very long time with Robredo winning their previous encounter 12 years ago in s-Hertogenbosch’s grass.
The courts in Monte Carlo are famous for being one of the slowest on the ATP World Tour, which definitely benefits Robredo’s baseline game on this match-up. With this in mind, Tommy is the clear favourite for this contest with Pinnacle offering 53/100 for his victory while Muller is available at 81/50 with Bet365.
