The action continues in Rotterdam with the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament semi-finals taking place this Saturday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Goffin vs. Herbert
Regardless of this Saturday’s result one thing is certain – Pierre-Hugues Herbert already secured his career high ranking next week. Known for his tremendous success in doubles, Herbert is also a very dangerous player in singles. Playing on Indoor Hard Court clearly suit his serve & volley game style with Pierre still unbreakable on this event’s main draw. Looking now at Herbert’s campaign in Rotterdam, the French qualifier reaches this stage of the competition after defeating Dominic Thiem in straight sets.
After two consecutive defeats against Grigor Dimitrov earlier this year, David Goffin finally got his revenge this Friday with a 6 – 4 1 – 6 6 – 3 victory over the Bulgarian. Besides the possibility of reaching his 8th ATP World Tour final, Goffin is also just one win away from assuring a place in the top 10 for the first time in his career. Despite his terrific numbers on return, with the Belgian winning 25.90% of his opponents’ service games, David already allowed 5 breaks of serve this week.
This should be a very interesting contest with Herbert’s powerful serve contrasting with Goffin’s outstanding return to serve. The bookmakers expect an easy win from Goffin with the Belgian available at 27/100 at Pinnacle. On the other hand, Bet365 offers 333/100 for Pierre’s victory on this match. Even though we agree with David’s favouritism, this should be a closer contest than the odds suggest. Due to Herbert’s outstanding level on serve throughout the week, the Over 21.5 at 83/100 at Pinnacle is definitely the best betting approach for this Saturday’s encounter.
