Why Bet on Felix Auger-Aliassime?

The 21-year-old Canadian made his way to the Australian Open quarterfinals this year. He did find a way to keep things close with a match point against Daniil Medvedev in the fourth set. But, the Russian player pulled through and won the game in five sets.

The Rotterdam Open saw Auger-Aliassime’s first ATP singles victory. He beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. Additionally, he worked his way to the final of the Open 13 before falling in the hands of Andrey Rublev.

Felix found decent pace in the clay court this season. He reached the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open and the Italian Open, where he lost to Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic, respectively. He then produced another solid performance to secure a ticket to the fourth round of the French Open where he pressured Nadal to five sets before losing.

Playing on grass surface is not exactly Auger-Aliassime’s specialty. Nevertheless, he started the grass-court season with a run to the Libema Open semifinals. Although he lost to eventual winner Tim van Rijthoven in three sets, it’s a good exposure to the surface as Wimbledon takes off.

Why Bet on Maxime Cressy?

Cressy worked his way up to 45th in the world rankings from 112th. His progress was dramatic this season and proves him a worthy competitor to Auger-Aliassime. The French-born American had a productive ATP final debut at the Melbourne Summer Set 1, but eventually lost to Rafael Nadal. The 25-year-old’s achievements this year also include a last 16 appearances at the Australian Open. He sparked a good fight against Daniil Medvedev before losing 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-7(4), and 7-5.

Halle Open saw Cressy’s first game on the grass court this season. He qualified for the tournament’s main draw before losing to imminent champion Hubert Hurkacz in three sets. He then participated at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne and reached the quarterfinals after overcoming Reilly Opelka and Dan Evans.

Maxime Cressy beat Cameron Norrie to reach the semifinal, where he overpowered Jack Draper in three sets to claim a ticket to the final. He eventually lost to Taylor Fritz after a close contest.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. Maxime Cressy Expert Betting Prediction

Cressy is on fire right now, and he has a menacing serve that plays a reliable weapon against Auger-Aliassime. He should be up to the task of making this match interesting. While he lacks major tournament experience, he should be taken seriously considering his previous results. Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime has plenty of major exposure. He has multiple grand slam appearances to his name and results to go with it. We anticipate another deep run for the 21-year-old after taking on the two best tennis players in the world, but don’t expect Cressy to back away here.
