The ATP Miami Open Quarter-Finals come to an end this Thursday with the players from the top half of the draw in action. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.

 

Zverev vs. Kyrgios

Two of the most promising young players on the ATP World Tour – Alexander Zverev and Nick Kyrgios – will fight this Thursday for a place at the Miami Open semi-finals.

After saving three match points in the 3rd round against John Isner, Zverev featured another outstanding comeback in the previous round against the top seed – Stan Wawrinka. Despite his young age, Alexander is already one of the best players in the world with the 19 years old playing his first ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals this Thursday.

Kyrgios is a different player since the disappointing defeat earlier this season at the Australian Open 2nd round. Besides winning two matches against the former world no.1 – Novak Djokovic – Nick is also handling tough situations much better. Kyrgios’ victory in the previous round against David Goffin is a perfect example of that in a match where Goffin was clearly the better player on the court throughout the opening set.

Due to Nick’s recent win over Zverev in Indian Wells, the bookmakers consider Kyrgios the main favourite to win this match at 1/2 at Coral. However, this should be a much closer match than the odds suggest, which makes Alexander the valuable play for this contest at 19/10 at Pinnacle. Besides the value on Zverev’s moneyline, his +1.5 Set Handicap is also a great approach to this match at 17/25 at Pinnacle.
