The ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament quarter-finals take place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Cilic vs. Tsonga
Two former ATP Rotterdam runner-ups – Marin Cilic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – will fight this Friday for a place in the semi-finals.
Even though it hasn’t been an easy year for Cilic so far, the court conditions in Rotterdam clearly suit his game style with the Croatian holding a terrific 76.92% winning record on this event. Looking now to Marin’s campaign this week, the 2014 US Open champion reaches this stage of the competition after defeating two very difficult opponents – Benoit Paire and Borna Coric.
Playing on Indoor Hard Court clearly brings the best out of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. However, the slower court conditions in Rotterdam are not the best for Tsonga’s powerful tennis. Despite his appearance in the final back in 2011, the French only won 60.00% of the matches played since then. Adding to this, Tsonga is only averaging 0.4 aces per service game while his career average on Indoor Hard Court is 0.92.
These two players know each other very well with Cilic winning five of their previous six meetings. Taking a closer look now at their previous encounters, one of those took place in Rotterdam three years ago with the Croatian emerging victorious by 6 – 4 6 – 4. Due to Cilic’s edge and the game conditions in Rotterdam, the value is clearly on Marin’s side. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to take advantage of Cilic’s value with Coral offering 11/10 for his victory while Tsonga is available at 4/5 at Bet365.
