Del Potro vs. Isner
After a slow start to 2017, John Isner continues his impressive run in recent weeks. The 32-year-old American couldn’t have asked for a better way to start his US Open series campaign with this 4th Atlanta Open title. After winning back-to-back titles in Newport and Atlanta, John decide to withdraw from the Citi Open in order to be in the best physical condition for this event in Montreal.
The 2009 Rogers Cup runner-up – Juan Martin Del Potro – continues to pursue his first title of the season. Despite his brilliant campaign in 2016, Juan Martin only won 60.00% of the matches in 2017. Besides his bad luck in draws, the former world no.4 keeps struggling with several physical problems. Del Potro’s recent appearance in Washington is a good example of that with the 28-year-old Argentinean unable to compete at his best due to a neck injury.
These two players are no strangers with Del Potro winning five of their previous seven encounters.
Despite Isner’s outstanding results in recent weeks, Del Potro is far from an easy match-up for the American. With this in mind, the value is definitely on the Argentinean’s tennis betting odds at 99/100 at Pinnacle while William Hill offers 91/100 for John’s victory. Besides the value on Del Potro’s moneyline, placing a small stake on his -1.5 Set Handicap at 12/5 at Pinnacle is also a great approach for those who want to take a higher risk on this contest.
Best Play: Juan Martin Del Potro ML at 99/100 at Pinnacle
Pospisil vs. Polansky
Playing in Montreal brings great memories to Vasek Pospisil. Despite his disappointing 46.48% overall record on Masters 1000 events, Vasek won 66.67% of the matches played throughout his career in Montreal. Adding to this, the former world no.25 is returning to his best level with an outstanding 37 – 17 record in 2017. Known as one of the best servers on the ATP World Tour, Pospisil loves the high bouncing conditions in Montreal.
At the age of 29, Peter Polansky is going through the best moment in his career. Besides reaching three finals on the Challenger Tour over the last few weeks, Polansky is currently in his career-high ranking as the world no.115. Peter is looking for another successful campaign on this event after reaching the 2nd round in four of his last six appearances in the Rogers Cup main draw.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Polansky leading on the h2h by 1 – 0.
Regardless of this Monday’s outcome one thing is certain, we’ll have a Canadian player in the following round. Taking a look now at the odds for this encounter, Vasek is the main favourite at 53/100 at Ladbrokes while Bet365 offers 7/4 for Polansky’s victory. Despite Pospisil’s undeniable quality, this should be a much closer contest than the odds suggest. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Over 22 at 17/20 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this match.
