The action continues with the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell quarter-finals taking place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Khachanov vs. Zeballos
At the age of 18, Karen Khachanov decided to move to Barcelona. Due to his familiarity with these courts, Khachanov holds an outstanding 7 – 1 career record on this tournament. Despite facing one of the best returners in the game on the previous round – David Goffin – the Russian won 93.75% of his service games in that match. Adding to this, the Belgian failed to convert 87.50% of his break point chances against Khachanov.
Against all expectations, Horacio Zeballos secured a place in the quarter-finals of an ATP 500 event for the first time in his career. Known as an exceptional clay courter, Zeballos is never an easy opponent to face on this surface. However, the Argentinean is also famous for his inconsistency. Taking a look now at Horacio’s campaign in Barcelona, the Argentinean reaches this stage of the competition after an epic battle against Benoit Paire with Zeballos emerging victorious in the third set tie break.
Despite Zeballos’ brilliant run, it’s impossible to go against Khachanov at the time. The Russian is going through the best moment in his career and is now just one win away from securing a place in the top 40 next week. With this in mind, Khachanov is the undeniable favourite to secure a place in the semi-finals at 57/100 at Coral. On the other hand, Pinnacle offers the best price in the market for Zeballos’ victory at 47/25.
