Don’t miss our top tennis play for this Saturday’s action in Atlanta with Gilles Muller and John Isner fighting for a place in the final. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Muller vs. Isner
Gilles Muller continues his sensational run in 2017. In addition to his outstanding 29 – 13 record this season, the 34-year-old won his first ATP World Tour titles in Sydney and s-Hertogenbosch. Known as one of the best servers in the game, Muller fired an impressive average of 1.50 aces per game on this event. On the other hand, the world no.22 didn’t allow a single break of serve so far in Atlanta.
After a slow start to 2017, John Isner is going through a great moment in his career. Besides winning his 11th career title in Newport last week, the three-time Atlanta champion is now just one win away from reaching his 7th final on this event. Taking a look now at John’s campaign at the BB&T Atlanta Open, the 32-year-old American reaches this stage of the competition after two straight sets victories over Vasek Pospisil and Lukas Lacko.
This should be a very interesting contest between two of the best servers in tennis history. Despite John’s 3 – 2 lead on the h2h, Muller emerged victorious from their last two meetings. Looking now at the odds for this match, the bookmakers expect a very close encounter with Isner available at 4/5 at Pinnacle while Coral offers 11/10 for Gilles’ victory. Although we agree with John’s favouritism after his recent performances, it’s hard to go against such a big server as Muller. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Over 26 at 19/20 at Pinnacle. Adding to this, the special market “Tie Break in Set 1? Yes” at 18/25 at Bet365 is also an interesting approach for this match.
