Paire vs. Janowicz Preview & Tips
Don’t miss our top tennis pick for this Friday’s action in Stuttgart with Benoit Paire and Jerzy Janowicz fighting for a place at the Mercedes Cup semi-finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Paire vs. Janowicz
After struggling with several physical problems in recent years, Jerzy Janowicz is slowly returning to his best level. Known as one of the best servers on the ATP World Tour, Janowicz is always a fearful opponent on grass. Besides his impressive 67.74% winning record on this surface, Jerzy is also a former Wimbledon semi-finalist. Looking now at Janowicz’s campaign in Stuttgart, the former world no.14 reaches this stage of the competition after an outstanding win over Grigor Dimitrov.
Despite his undeniable quality, Benoit Paire is far from a grass-court expert with a poor 13 – 17 career record on this surface. Adding to this, Paire already said more than once throughout his career that grass is not a good surface for his knee. However, the 28-year-old French is already in the quarter-finals in Stuttgart after two straight sets victories over Viktor Troicki and Peter Gojowczyk.
This will be the 4th career meeting between these two players with Janowicz leading on the h2h by 2 – 1.
Taking a look now at the odds for this match, the bookmakers expect a very close affair with Janowicz at 9/10 at Bet365 while Paire is available at 53/50 at Pinnacle. Despite Benoit’s brilliant campaign on this event, it’s impossible to trust on the French on this surface. With this in mind, the value is definitely on Jerzy’s tennis betting odds to win this contest and secure a place in the semi-finals.
