David Goffin continues his quest for an unprecedented apperance in the ATP World Tour Finals. At the age of 26, Goffin is going through a great moment in his career with his third ATP World Tour title last week in Shenzhen. Adding to this, playing in Tokyo brings great memories to David with the world no.11 reaching the final last year. Nevertheless, the Belgian might not be at his best physical condition for this Friday’s contest. Despite his victory over Matthew Ebden in the previous round, Goffin looked injured towards the end of the match.
The 2007 Rakuten Japan Open runner-up – Richard Gasquet – continues to pursue his first ever title in Tokyo. Known as one of the most talented players in the game, Gasquet is slowly returning to his best after a disappointing US Open Series. Looking now at Richard’s campaign on this event, the former world no.7 reaches this stage of the competition after a 6 – 0 7 – 6 win over Yen-Hsun Lu.
The market is well aware of Goffin’s physical problems with the Belgian’s price drifting from 83/100 to 23/20 at Pinnacle in just one hour. On the other hand, Gasquet is currently available at 83/100 at BetVictor. Due to the concerns regarding David’s fitness, it’s impossible to find any value on his current tennis betting odds. For that reason, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on Gasquet’s moneyline as the best betting approach for this encounter.
