ATP Indian Wells semi-finals
Paul – Medvedev: 16.03.2024 Time TBA
H2H: 0-2
Tommy Paul had a perfect run so far in Indian Wells. He won the first three matches in straight sets, playing perfect tennis in front of his own crowd! In the quarter-final, Paul managed to win against Ruud in three rough sets. The match against Ruud was really fun to watch as both players had some big momentums going on. Paul won the first confidently 6-2. In the second set, Paul got his serve broken right away and then was not able to convert the break points. Ruud started off in the third set really aggressively trying to get the break early in the set. However, Paul saved those breakpoints and broke Ruud´s serve right away! Tommy Paul loves to play at home, and he always gives his best tennis when playing at home! The match against Medvedev will be his biggest match this year so far! Daniil Medvedev has only struggled against Korda in this tournament. Other than that, Medvedev had an amazing tournament. He won two matches against very good opponents (Dimitrov and Rune) in straight sets. Medvedev loves to play under conditions like here in Indian Wells. In his last match where he played against Rune, Medvedev had some problems with his serve. It is really impressive that he won in straight sets even though his biggest weapon, the serve, was not working well. We believe that in this match, Medvedev will be a more consistent player. If his serve works better, we believe that Medvedev will win easily against Paul. Tommy Paul is a great player, but this is a mismatch for him as he tends to make many unforced errors against players such as Medvedev.
Value bet/ the best odds: Medvedev -3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Sinner – Alcaraz: 16.03.2024 Time TBA
H2H: 4-4
Jannik Sinner is still unbeaten this year. He is playing the best tennis in the world at the moment. It seems like he is unplayable and it is so fun to watch him dominate! We believe that if Sinner stays healthy, he will be the best out of the new generation. His consistency and his heavy hitting is just something different. Sinner has had no bigger problems in this tournament so far. He won all of his matches in straight sets. We have to mention that Sinner did play against some very good players, such as de Minaur, Shelton, Lehecka. However, he had an answer for every one of them! His opponent, Alcaraz, was also having a very good tournament. He absolutely destroyed Zverev in the quarter-finals. Alcaraz loves to play on outdoor hard courts. These conditions are perfect for him! We have to say that Alcaraz was not consistent at all this year. The bookies are considering this match to be a pretty even match. We believe that this is just based upon how Alcaraz played so far in this tournament. We love to look at the bigger picture. Sinner is unbeaten this year, he has been the most consistent player this year, and we believe that he should be a favorite in this match! All things being said, Sinner to win is a value bet, and you should go for it!
