Top Tennis Betting Picks of the Week (February 27th, 2023)
378 WEEKS AT #1❗
— TENNIS (@Tennis) February 27, 2023
The new ATP rankings are out and it's official: @DjokerNole now has the most weeks at #1 in either ATP *OR* WTA rankings history, surpassing Steffi Graf's 377.
"Obviously Steffi Graf is one of the biggest legends of our sport," Djokovic said last week:
WTA – Abierto GNPO Seguros
Nuria Parrizas Diaz vs. Xiyu Wang
Parrizas Diaz beat Ana Konjuh in the first round at the Merida Open Akron. But Diaz failed to keep the momentum going in the second round, losing 6-7 (5-7), 2-6 to Camila Giorgi.
Xiyu Wang beat Alison Riske-Armitraj in her first match at the Merida Open Akron. Kimberly Birrell beat Wang in straight sets in Wang’s second contest.
This could go either way. Xiyu offers the better odds. So although Diaz is in slightly better form, Wang is the pick.
Tennis Betting Pick: Xiyu Wang +111
Elise Mertens vs. Diana Shnaider
18-year-old Russian Diana Shnaider upset Kristina Kucova in the first round at the Australian Open before falling to 6-seed Maria Sakkari in the second.
But Shnaider played great tennis versus Sakkari, winning the first set 6-3 before losing two straight.
Mertens lost to Danielle Collins in her last. No doubt, Elise should win this. However, it makes sense to take a shot on the younger player because Shnaider impressed against Sakkari.
Tennis Betting Pick: Diana Shnaider +223
Emma Navarro vs. Leolia Jeanjean
In her last, Sloane Stephens easily handled Leolia Jeanjean, beating the slight underdog in this 1-6, 3-6.
Emma Navarro is 9-2 in singles matches this season, but she has yet to play in a WTA event. All indications are Navarro has the chance to be something special. So backing the 21-year-old makes sense.
Tennis Betting Pick: Emma Navarro -139
ATP – Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC
Cameron Norrie vs. Adrian Mannarino
At the Delray Beach Open in his last, Adrian Mannarino won his first two matches played. But in the third, he came up against Taylor Fritz, who beat Mannarino in straight sets.
Fritz is one of the better American tennis players at the ATP. So losing to Fritz is no big deal. Still, Mannarino faces ATP 12-ranked Cameron Norrie on Tuesday. Norrie won the Rio Open in his last when beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final. The chalk is playing too well to lose.
Tennis Betting Pick: Cameron Norrie -217
Carlos Alcaraz vs. Mackenzie Macdonald
Alcaraz fell to Norrie. Does that mean he’s vulnerable for the upset against Mackenzie Macdonald?
The underdog in this is playing well. But so is the 2022 U.S. Open winner. The favorite won’t lose.
Tennis Betting Pick: Carlos Alcaraz -250
Daniel Altmaeier vs. Brandon Nakashima
Altmaeier didn’t escape the first round at the Delray Open. Adrian Mannarino beat Altmaeier 6–4, 2-6, 4-6.
Nakashima is 0-2 in singles titles this season. The chalk in this, though, pushed Mackenzie Macdonald big time in the first round at the Australian Open in his last.
Macdonald and Nakashima played 5 sets and 3 tiebreakers. The match ended in McDonald’s favor, but Nakashima showed he won’t go down without a fight. It’s tough to go against the chalk to win this.
Tennis Betting Pick: Brandon Nakashima -250
