Dominic Thiem vs. Constant Lestienne
Underdog Constant Lestienne hasn’t played since losing to Luca Nardi in a qualifying match at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. Lestienne is 4-8 in singles matches this season, which might explain the massive odds difference.
Dominic Thiem beat Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-4 in the first round at the Monte-Carlo Masters. In his second match, Thiem bombed, losing 2-6, 4-6 to Holger Rune. Thiem should win this, but the odds should be tighter. Backing the huge dog makes sense.
Tennis Betting Pick: Constant Lestienne +317
Aslan Karatsev vs. Daniel Altmaier
24-year-old German Daniel Altmaier isn’t playing well. Altmaier lot to Max Purcell 4-6, 6-3, 3-6 in the first round at the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Championship in his last. Altmaier is 1-7 in singles matches.
Aslan Karatsev qualified for this after beating Louis Wessel and Robin Haase. Karatsev is 3-6 in singles matches this season. This can go either way. So backing Altmaier at the better number is the best play.
Tennis Betting Pick: Daniel Altmaier +100
Christopher O’Connell vs. Ugo Humbert
In his last tournament played, the Grand Prix Hassan II, Christopher O’Connell made it all the way to the quarterfinals. The 28-year-old is 5-7 in singles matches this season.
Ugo Humbert qualified for the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. But then in his first match, Humbert fell to Lorenzo Sonego. Losing to Sonego is more impressive than falling to Pavel Kotov, the player who beat O’Connell in Christopher’s last. Humbert is the play.
Tennis Betting Pick: Ugo Humbert -111
WTA – Porsche Tennis Grand Prix – Stuttgart, Germany
- When: Tuesday, April 18th, 2023
Cori Gauff vs. Veronika Kudermetova
Kudermetova is 10-8 in singles matches this season and has won a doubles title. Veronika offers terrific odds against 5-seed Cori “Coco” Gauff.
But although Kudermetova offers fantastic odds, she’s up against it versus the 19-year-old phenom. Gauff has gone 15-5 in matches this season. She’s won a singles title and 2 doubles titles. Cori rolls.
Tennis Betting Pick: Cori Gauff -208
Karolina Pliskova vs. Maria Sakkari
Pliskova versus Sakkari should be an excellent match. Karolina has won 16-of-23 singles contests this season. Pliskova’s form is decent. She beat Xinyu Wang in the second round at the Miami Open before losing to Markéta Vondroušová in the third round.
Maria Sakkari lost to Bianca Andreescu in her first Miami Open match. The 5-seed, Sakkari is 15-7 on the season. Here’s another that can go either way. Backing the player offering the better odds makes sense.
Tennis Betting Pick: Karolina Pliskova +103
Jeļena Ostapenko vs. Emma Raducanu
Ostapenko is playing great tennis. The 25-year-old Latvian made it to the Miami Open’s fourth round, where she lost to Martina Trevisan.
Emma Raducanu couldn’t beat Bianca Andreescu in the first round at the Miami Open in the last. But Raducanu did win a set in the match. Raducanu has a shot. Ostapenko is playing too well to lose, though.
Tennis Betting Pick: Jelena Ostapenko -133
