Rogers Cup Men’s Singles SF
Roger Federer and his quest for his sixth title this year remains the headline grabber of the Rogers Cup in Montreal, but when the semifinal begins this Sunday, the online betting spotlight will be on two young tennis stars trying to leave a mark.
Denis Shapovalov and Alexander Zverev have surprised sports betting experts with their run to the last four, so all eyes will be on them when they step on the hard court and try to overcome the betting odds to make it to the finals.
Alexander Zverev vs Denis Shapovalov
What could be better than the meeting of two players who could become the future of the sport?
Shapovalov and Zverev have indeed impressed in the tournament, and this battle could just be the first of many more to come.
Zverev is the favourite to come out on top considering the fantastic defence and shot-making ability he has displayed in the competition, but Shapovalov isn’t someone he can write off. Not at Montreal where the 18-year-old is backed by a supportive home crowd.
The Canadian teenager ended Rafael Nadal’s quest to No.1 and proved that it wasn’t just sheer luck with a quarterfinal win over Adrian Mannarino. He has also shown that he can get the big points and hit impressive winners, making him a real dark horse of the Masters 1000 event.
Zverev will be tough to beat, but I like the chances of Shapovalov as he’s oozing with confidence right now. I predict a three-set thriller here with Shapovalov winning on Asian Handicap +1.50 @ 2.31.
Roger Federer vs Robin Haase
Since winning the Australian Open earlier this year, the FedExpress has been playing the best tennis of anyone on the ATP tour and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Hence, it will certainly take a lot for Haase to upset the Swiss Maestro.
The Dutchman could give Federer some fight if he can maintain his return game and polish his second serve, but this is the same Federer we’re talking about – the man who won Wimbledon without dropping a set.
Federer has won in five straight semifinal appearances and it’s likely that he’ll make it six. With that said, Rog on Game Handicap -5.50 @ 2.13 is the best choice.
