Brazilian rising star Joao Fonseca is set to take on World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the Monte Carlo Masters quarterfinals, while another teenage sensation in women’s tennis, Mirra Andreeva, will square off against veteran Romanian Sorana Cirstea in the Linz Open quarterfinals.
As multiple ATP and WTA events continue to be played out across the globe, we have brought the best bets you can wager on from our top five picks across the men’s and women’s singles matches today.
Top 5 Best Bets and Prediction
Zverev vs. Fonseca: Total Games Under 23.5 (-150)
This will be the first meeting between the German and the 19-year-old Brazilian. While Fonseca has showcased flashes of brilliance in recent tournaments, Zverev might prove a more challenging opponent, given the German’s playing style and current streak of results. Expect Zverev to win the match in straight sets and withhold the Brazilian from winning more than 10 games in the contest.
Sinner vs. Auger-Aliassime: Sinner to Win Over 12.5 Games (+110)
The World No. 2 should win the tie and advance to the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters. But at the same time, expect the Auger-Aliassime to push the Italian in one or two sets, which should take Sinner’s total games over 12.5 with relative ease. Previously, Sinner had dropped a set against Thomas Machac in the tiebreak.
Moreover, Sinner and Aliassime have met six times in the past, excluding one walkover, and the Italian has won 13 or more total games in four of those contests. So, you should expect the same situation panning out in the quarterfinals clash against Aliassime, but Sinner ultimately advances in a maximum of three sets.
Alcaraz vs. Bublik: Total Games Under 19.5 (-115)
This is set to be the first meeting between the World No. 1 and the Kazakh. While Bublik can be a huge upsetter on his day, the defending champion looks in no mood to let his guard down after already playing a three-setter against Etcheverry in the previous round.
Expect the Spaniard to make light work of Bublik, who has struggled against the top-5 in recent years. Alcaraz will come out strong from the onset of the match and aim to get some early break of serves under his belt to close out the tie in straight sets and advance to the semifinals.
Andreeva vs. Cirstea: Cirstea to Win Under 10.5 Games (-125)
This will be the first meeting between the veteran Romanian, who is in the final year of her professional career on tour, and the Russian teenage sensation who has already won a WTA 500 title this season. Given their recent form on tour, expect Andreeva to win the Linz Open quarterfinal in straight sets.
Moreover, the Russian is expected to restrict Cirstea to 10 games or fewer over two sets, which makes our pick for the match an intriguing option, as the Romanian is expected to face a stern test against the tournament No. 1 seed.
Basavareddy vs. Dostanic: Total Games Under 21.5 (-125)
It will be an All-American quarterfinal in the Challenger event in Sarasota, Florida. Basavareddy has won his previous rounds in straight sets, although both times he has won a set in a tiebreak, taking his total game tally to 13 in each round.
While the American has restricted his opponent to seven games in a match, he has also given up nine. Expect Basavareddy to win the match with relative ease against Dostanic and restrict his opponent to 9 games or fewer, making our pick one of the best bets for the contest.
