Del Potro vs. Verdasco
Juan Martin Del Potro continues his quest for a 5th career appearance at the ATP World Tour Finals. Adding to this, the 2009 US Open champion is trying to become the 7th player in tennis history to win back-to-back titles in the capital of Sweden. Taking a look now at Del Potro’s campaign on this event, the 29-year-old reaches this stage of the competition in Stockholm after a 6 – 2 7 – 6 win over Yuichi Sugita.
Known as one of the most talented plyers in the game, Fernando Verdasco is always a very dangerous opponent. Despite his disappointing 53.06% winning record in 2017, the former world no.7 is enjoying great success in Stockholm. Besides not losing a single set on his previous three matches on this event, Verdasco won 96.55% of his service games at the Intrum Stockholm Open.
These two players are no strangers with Del Potro winning four of their previous five meetings on the ATP World Tour.
In addition to Juan Martin’s lead on h2h, the Argentinean didn’t drop a single set on their last two encounters. For that reason, it’s not surprising to see Del Potro as the heavy favourite to reach the final at 29/100 at 5Dimes while Verdasco is available at 3/1 at William Hill. Despite Fernando’s brilliant performance in the previous round, it won’t be easy for the Spaniard to find the answer to Del Potro’s powerful forehand. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Argentinean’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 43/50 at Pinnacle as the most valuable line for this contest.
