Bautista Agut vs. Dzumhur
Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, Damir Dzumhur already secured his career-high ranking next week with an unprecedented appearance in the top 60. Known as an exceptional clay-court player, it’s surprising to see Dzumhur reaching his first ATP World Tour final on Hard Court. Taking a look now at Damir’s campaign on this event, the 25-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after an outstanding comeback against Kyle Edmund.
Roberto Bautista Agut continues his sensational run in North Carolina. After a disappointing defeat against Pablo Carreno Busta at the 2016 Winston-Salem Open final, Bautista Agut is trying to go a step further on this year’s edition. The fast court conditions on this event are perfect for Roberto’s game style with the world no.15 winning 87.20% of his service games in Winston-Salem. Adding to this, Bautista Agut didn’t drop a single set so far on this tournament.
Despite Dzumhur’s brilliant run, it won’t be easy for the Bosnian to overcome Bautista Agut’s solid baseline game. Adding to this, Dzumhur is only playing his first ever final while Roberto already has five titles on his resume. The bookmakers agree with us with Bautista Agut as the undeniable favourite at 27/100 at Pinnacle while Dzumhur is available at 333/100 at William Hill. Due to the low price on the Spaniard’s moneyline, our suggestion is to stick with the winning strategy and place a bet on Bautista Agut’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 81/100 at Pinnacle.
