ATP Acapulco 500 Semifinals
Draper – De Minaur: 02.03.2024 02:00 CEST
H2H: 0-2
Both Draper and de Minaur won their last matches easily in straight sets as we predicted! Draper played yet another perfect match where his serve and forehand were just too good for Kecmanovic. He managed to play aggressively without making many unforced errors. His opponent, de Minaur, finally got to win against Tsitsipas.
The Demon started really poorly, losing the first set 1-6. After that, he stepped up his game and showed why we picked him in the previous article. His ground strokes were amazing, and his footwork was brilliant as usual. We believe that this one is really tough to predict, and we believe that these guys will push each other to the limit. All being said, other games is a perfect bet here, and you should go for it!

Ruud – Rune: 02.03.2024 03:30 CEST
H2H: 5-1
Casper Ruud continues to play well on the hard court. Yesterday, he managed to pull off the victory against Ben Shelton in a really tight match. Ruud was serving exceptionally well, not offering a single break point. His 1st serve percentage was on point and if he could serve like that tonight, we expect him to play another tiebreak yet again!
His opponent, Holger Rune, is finally feeling well and pain free. He is yet to lose a set in Acapulco and his tennis has really improved since the beginning of the year. This match is also really hard to predict, since both players are in great form with similar rankings. We believe that they will serve well and maybe even not break each other at all. That being said, we hope for another thriller with three possibly sets and a couple of tiebreaks!

ATP Santiago 250 Quarterfinals
Tabilo – Darderi: 01.03.2024 22:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1
Alejandro Tabilo, being seeded, has played only one match in Santiago. He enjoyed playing in front of his home crowd in the match when he did not offer anything to his friend Barrios Vera. Tabilo served exceptionally well and he did not offer any breakpoints. His tennis was just on point throughout the whole match. His opponent, Darderi, is not seeded in this tournament and therefore had to play in the 1/16-Finals as well. He managed to get two really tough wins, both in three sets.
In his last match, Darderi showed that he can be really vulnerable on his serve. Overall, he played solidly this week, but he had to fight for every single point really hard and that is why he spent almost six hours on the court in those two matches. We believe that Tabilo is in better form at the moment, and he will definitely be more rested for this match. All being said, we believe that this match should not be a 50-50 one as bookies are predicting. Tabilo should be able to win easily in front of his home crowd, and you should go for it!
Value bet/ the best odds: Tabilo to win @1.73 @bet365
