The action continues in Washington with the Citi Open quarter-finals taking place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Paul vs. Nishikori
Known as one of the promising young players on the ATP World Tour, Tommy Paul is finally living up to expectations. Despite his lack of experience at this level, the 20-year-old American staged two impressive victories against top 25 opponents – Lucas Pouille and Gilles Muller. Considering now Tommy’s numbers on this event, the highlight definitely goes to his serve with Paul winning 92.31% of his service games in Washington.
The 2015 Citi Open champion – Kei Nishikori – continues his quest for his first title in 2017. Playing in the U.S. brings the best out of Nishikori with the world no.9 winning 54.54% of his 11 career titles in North-America. Taking a look now at Kei’s campaign in Washington, the 27-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after a 6 – 4 7 – 5 win over Juan Martin Del Potro. Nevertheless, the Argentinean couldn’t perform at his best due to a neck injury.
The bookmakers expect a straightforward win from Nishikori with the Japanese available at 13/100 at BetVictor while Bet365 offers 13/2 for Paul’s victory. Even though we agree with Kei’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on his current tennis betting odds. On the other hand, Tommy can definitely create some problems to his opponent in a match where he has nothing to lose. Having said that, our recommendation is for you to add the Over 19.5 at 83/100 at Pinnacle to your betting picks as the most valuable approach to this contest.
