Rafael Nadal and Jack Sock will face each other this Wednesday in Miami with a place in the Miami Open semi-finals at stake. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Nadal vs. Sock
Regardless of this Wednesday’s result, Jack Sock already secured a place in the top 15 next week for the first time ever. The American is going through the best moment in his career with Sock winning two titles already this season in Auckland and Delray Beach. Known as one of the best doubles player on the ATP World Tour, Jack won 80.00% of the points played at the net in the previous round against Jared Donaldson.
After losing his previous two finals earlier this year in Melbourne and Acapulco, Rafael Nadal is still looking for his first title since April 2016 in Barcelona. The Spaniard is now the main favourite to reach the final in the bottom half of the draw after Milos Raonic’s withdrawal and due to Kei Nishikori’s physical problems. Looking now at Nadal’s numbers in the previous round, the four-time Miami Open runner-up ended the match against Nicolas Mahut with 26 winners and only 11 unforced errors.
Even though we agree with Nadal’s favouritism, this should be a closer match than the odds suggest with Ladbrokes offering 12/5 for Sock’s victory while Rafael is available at 41/100 at Pinnacle. Adding to this, Jack’s +1.5 Set Handicap is also a great betting approach for this contest at 4/5 at Pinnacle.
