ATP – Prague, Czech Republic
Lucas Gersch vs. Cem Ilkel
Underdog Cem Ilkel hasn’t played a ton of tennis in 2022. Ilkel is 2-8 so far in singles matches this season. So although Ilkel ranks higher than Lucas Gersch, the chalk is the play. Gersch is 38-18 and playing much better tennis this season than Ilkel. Give the favorite a look for sure.
Tennis Betting Pick: Lucas Gersch -185
Ergi Kirkin vs. Lukas Rosol
Kirkin ranks 302 while Rosol ranks 335. The best ranking Kirkin has ever secured is 270. At one point, Rosol ranked 26. This year, the chalk is 32-21. Rosol won the M25 Muten in his last. The favorite in this beat Jakub Paul, Julien Ocleppo, Jerome Kym, Damien Wenger, and Maxime Mora on his way to the title. Kirkin will play hard, but he won’t get past one of the hottest players on the Challenger Tour. Rosol wins.
Tennis Betting Pick: Lukas Rosol -172
Matteo Gigantevs. Roman A. Burruchaga
Gigante versus Burruchaga is a tough match to handicap. On the surface, Gigante should easily win this. The chalk ranks 269 in the world. Gigante is 31-16 in singles matches this year. Burruchaga is 29-19 in singles matches. Both should play well in this. But although Burruchaga has a chance, this happens over clay. The chalk has a better record over clay, 20-12, than the underdog, 24-17. Still, -192 is laying a lot Gigante versus a rival who will test him. Burruchaga gets the nod.
Tennis Betting Pick: Roman A. Burruchaga +134
ATP – Granby, Canada
Ulises Blanch +138 vs. Cedrik Marcel Stebe +182
At first glance, it looks as if Stebe and Blanch should play a tight match. Although the match won’t be a runaway, this may not be as tight as many tennis handicappers predict. Stebe is 21-21 this season. Blanch is 22-21. Both have played well, but there is a significant difference in form when it comes to the Granby Challenger tournament surface. The tourney in Canada this week happens over a hard surface. The underdog is 0-4 over the surface this year. Blanch is 10-10. Unless Blanch doesn’t show up with his best racket, the favorite should take this.
Tennis Betting Pick: Ulises Blanch +138
Henry Patten vs. Kyle Seelig
Patten and Seelig bring similar form to this match. The favored player, Patten, is 21-15. Seelig has 1 more loss, 16, but the underdog has 6 more wins. When it comes to hard surfaces, Seelig has 1 more win, 15, but a couple more losses, 11 compared to Patten’s 9. Recent form suggests the dog has a shot to win this. Seelig played 3 matches in his last, the M25 Guayaquil. Patten bowed out in his first match against Li Tu at the Chicago Challenger 35 in his last. The dog can bite.
Tennis Betting Pick: Kyle Seelig +111
