Nishikori vs. Gasquet
Looking to the matches scheduled for this Sunday on the men’s competition, one of the highlights goes to the contest between Kei Nishikori and Richard Gasquet.

It hasn’t been an easy tournament for the French players and Gasquet is now the only one left on the competition after Jo-Wilfried Tsonga’s retirement. Richard is looking for his first career appearance on the quarter-finals of this event, after defeating Nick Kyrgios on the previous round.

Nishikori showed once again why he’s an expert on best of five sets matches, defeating Fernando Verdasco in a tough battle by 3 – 2. Looking at Kei’s stats throughout his career, he won 72.22% of the matches that went to a fifth set. After the match Nishikori mentioned that he was feeling very well physically and ready for the next matches.

The h2h between these two players is very interesting, with Gasquet winning the first 7 matches between them; however, Nishikori was struggling with physical issues in some of those matches. This year they played two more times, both on clay, and Kei showed his superiority with two straight sets victories and for that reason, when checking our Green Listed Bookmakers odds, he’s fairly priced as favourite for this contest at 11/25 on William Hill while Gasquet can be found at 213/100 on Marathonbet.

 

Troicki vs. Wawrinka
The defending champion, Stan Wawrinka, will fight for a place on the quarter-finals with Viktor Troicki.

Despite losing all his previous six encounters in straight sets against Gilles Simon, Troicki surprised the French with a straight sets victory. The Serbian is a very good competitor, never giving anything for free to his opponents yet, is hard for him to generate pace with his own groundstrokes.

Wawrinka is going through a very good moment on the season with seven consecutive victories. Stan is the kind of player who usually raises the level match after match and that’s exactly what’s happening this week, with Wawrinka’s best performance so far on the previous round against Jeremy Chardy.

This will be the 5th career meeting between these two players, with Wawrinka leading on h2h by 4 – 0. Troicki will try to extend the rallies but there isn’t much he can do against this opponent and for that reason, Wawrinka deserves to be priced as favourite at 3/25 on Bet365 while Troicki is offered at 104/25 on Sbobet. Stan should get the job done in straight sets and placing a bet on his -2.5 Set Handicap at 93/100 on Pinnacle Sports might be a good approach on this contest.
