Don’t miss our top tennis play for this Friday’s action in Halle with Roberto Bautista Agut and Alexander Zverev fighting for a place at the Gerry Webber Open semi-finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Bautista Agut vs. Zverev
The 2016 Gerry Webber Open runner-up – Alexander Zverev – continues his astonishing run in Halle. At the age of 20, Zverev became the youngest player to win a Masters 1000 event since Novak Djokovic’s victory in Miami a decade ago at 19. Taking a look now at Alexander’s campaign in Halle, the world no.12 reaches this stage of the competition after an impressive straight sets victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber.
The world no.19 – Roberto Bautista Agut – is trying to become the first Spanish player to win the Gerry Webber Open. Playing on grass brings great memories to Bautista Agut with an outstanding 66.67% career record on this surface. Despite his successful journey on this tournament, Roberto has been far from impressive. Besides losing a set against Carlos Berlocq on his debut, Bautista Agut was on the brink of elimination on the previous round against Dustin Brown.
This will be the 4th career meeting between these two players with Bautista Agut winning two of their previous three encounters.
Despite Roberto’s lead on the h2h, Zverev emerged victorious from their most recent encounter a few weeks ago in Munich. For that reason, it’s not surprising to see Alexander as the clear favourite at 9/25 at William Hill while Bet365 offers 12/5 for Bautista Agut’s victory. Due to the low price on Zverev’s moneyline, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on his -3 game handicap at 83/100 at Pinnacle.
