Edmund vs. Pouille
Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, Kyle Edmund already secured his return to the top 50 next week. Known as one of the most promising players on the ATP World Tour, the 22-year-old possesses one of the deadliest forehands in the game. Adding to this, Edmund reaches this stage of the competition in Vienna after an impressive performance against Jan-Lennard Struff with 20 winners and only 9 unforced errors.
Lucas Pouille continues his quest for a first ever ATP World Tour 500 title. Playing on Indoor Hard Court brings the best out of Lucas with an impressive average of 0.80 aces per service game on this tournament. On the other hand, Richard Gasquet couldn’t find the answer to Pouille’s aggressive return to serve with the 31-year-old winning only 28.57% of the points with his second serve.
The bookmakers expect a close encounter with Pouille as the slight favourite at 73/100 at Pinnacle while Bet365 offers 6/5 for Edmund’s victory. Despite Kyle’s impressive display on the previous round, it won’t be easy for the no.2 Brit to overcome such a tough opponent as Pouille on this surface. Adding to this, the French won their most recent encounter at the Davis Cup in April without conceding a single set. Having said that, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on Pouille’s tennis odds as the best betting approach for this match.
