ATP Miami 1/32-Finals
Korda – Bautista Agut: 23.03.2024 19:00 CEST
H2H: 3-0
Since retiring in the quarter-finals of Dubai, Korda has only played in Indian Wells. He won there in the 1/32-finals in straight sets against Safiullin in the match where Korda played brilliantly! Korda lost in the 1/16-Finals against Medvedev in a three-set thriller. He had a decent chance to win against one of the best players in the world at the moment. His opponent, Bautista Agut, had to fight through the qualifications to play in the main draw! He played two really tough qualification round matches. In the first round of the main tournament, Bautista Agut won 2-0 against Nava. Bautista Agut played well, but Nava gave him too many free points. Bautista Agut played most of the year not well enough. He was not consistent and, considering his age, his footwork was also terrible. We believe that Korda is a way better and younger player at the moment. They played last year under similar conditions where Korda won 6-4. We predict a similar match tonight as well!
Value bet/ the best odds: Korda -3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
Shevchenko – Hurkacz: 23.03.2024 20:30 CEST
H2H: 0-2
Alexander Shevchenko played a really tough first round match against Galan. He won that match in three very exhausting sets. This season so far, Shevchenko has had some big wins and also some big losses. He was very inconsistent. Tonight, he will face Hurkacz, who has also been really inconsistent so far this year. Hurkacz is on a 2-game losing streak. His last win was almost a month ago. Hurkacz is the 8th seed, so that is why he did not have to play in the first round. Both players are good servers. As we already mentioned, this surface is very fast, and we believe that we will watch another tight match with possible tiebreaks. Over the games line is set at 22.5, which we believe is too low. That being said, other games is a value bet!
Value bet/ the best odds: over 22.5 games @1.91 @bet365
Dimitrov – Tabilo: 23.03.2024 22:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Grigor Dimitrov had a decent tournament last week at Indian Wells. He won his first two matches in straight sets against Mannarino and Muller. In the 1/8-finals, Dimitrov lost to Medvedev in straight sets. His opponent, Tabilo, won here in the first round against Nakashima in three sets. Tabilo served exceptionally well and was cool under pressure. He also played last week in Indian Wells where he lost to Fritz in the 1/32finals. Tabilo played a perfect first set against Fritz. The surface here will be a perfect fit for his game. If Tabilo serves well, he can be a really dangerous player on his day. According to the bookies, Tabilo is a huge underdog in this match. However, we believe that he will serve well yet again and cover the games handicap!
Value bet/ the best odds: Tabilo +3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
