Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters SF
With Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka out, betting tips now back Rafael Nadal to comfortably breeze through the final of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Indeed, the Spanish juggernaut was already the pre-tournament favourite among betting websites, but betting odds took an even bigger swing to his side after he became the last top-10 player remaining in the competition.
Rafael Nadal vs David Goffin
David Goffin took down Novak Djokovic in a spectacular fashion, and if he can use his high and heavy crosscourt forehand again to send laser shots into the corner—just like the way he did against Djoker—he could very well pose a challenge to the King of Clay.
However, the Belgian knows that playing Rafael Nadal on the clay is the biggest task in tennis as the Spaniard has been defeated just once in his 11 semi-final appearances in the competition. Not to mention that the 30-year-old is also in pursuit of getting his 10th tournament title – which would be a first in the Open Era.
Nadal had his fair share of struggles in the competition, but he should be too much for the Belgian star known for choking against top-rated players. If you’re punting, Nadal Asian Handicap -1.50 @ 1.75 is the way to go.
Albert Ramos Viñolas vs Lucas Pouille
It’s a surprise to see these two in the semis, but no one can deny the excellent run they are having after overcoming far stronger opponents on their way to this stage.
Ranked 17th, Pouille is tipped to come out on top. After all, he defeated Pablo Cuevas on the clay court in three sets – even denying the Uruguayan even a single game in the first set. It’s also difficult to see him losing against an opponent he already crushed in their only meeting two years ago.
Nonetheless, Albert Ramos Viñolas isn’t someone you write off in tournaments like this. Besides his winning pedigree on the clay, he also recently posted his first back-to-back wins against top-10 players (No.1 Andy Murray and No.8 Marin Cilic). Hence, it’s not farfetched for him to pull another upset.
Sure enough, this one is an intriguing encounter, though I think Ramos Viñolas’ new-found confidence can propel him to a thrilling victory over the Frenchman. With that said, the 29-year-old Spaniard should be a solid choice on Asian Handicap +1.50 @ 1.45.
