Comesana – Musetti: 06.07.2024 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Francisco Comesana has lost four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago, Comesana tried to qualify for the ATP Eastbourne. He lost in the first qualifying round against Broom in three sets. This was also his first-ever match on the grass court. Here at Wimbledon, Comesana upset Rublev in the first round. This was also his first-ever main-draw Grand Slam match. It was definitely his biggest match of his young career. In the second round, Comesana defeated Walton in five tough sets as we predicted. The young Argentinian has spent most of his career playing at the challenger tour level, mostly on clay.
Lorenzo Musetti has won four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago, Musetti reached the final in London where he lost against Tommy Paul in straight sets as we predicted. Here at Wimbledon, Lorenzo defeated Lestienne in the first round. Musetti was one set down, but managed to turn the match around by winning three straight sets. After that, Musetti defeated Darderi in five tough sets. Lorenzo was 1-2 down, but once again stayed calm and turned the match around. Last year at Wimbledon, Musetti lost against Hurkacz in the third round.
According to the bookies, Musetti is the big favorite in this matchup. Both players had an exhausting second round match. However, Lorenzo is used to it. Comesana never played a five-setter. We believe that he will be tired against Musetti. Lorenzo is also a way more experienced player than Comesana, which is important when playing at the highest level.
That being said, Musetti, covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Lorenzo Musetti -5.5 games handicap @-134 @FanDuel
Norrie – Zverev: 06.07.2024 Time TBA
H2H: 0-5
Cameron Norrie has lost three of his last five matches. Norrie has been struggling with his form recently. Two weeks ago, Norrie lost against Ruusuvuori in the first round of the ATP Eastbourne. Here at Wimbledon, Cameron won his first round match against Diaz Acosta in straight sets. After that, Norrie upset Jack Draper in straight sets. It was one of his best performances this season. He was great under pressure, winning both tiebreaks. Last year at Wimbledon, Norrie lost in the second round against Eubanks.
Alexander Zverev has won four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago, Zverev played in Halle, where he reached the semifinals. Hurkacz defeated him in straight sets as we predicted. Here at Wimbledon, Sascha defeated Carballes Baena in easy straight sets. After that, Zverev was absolutely dominant against Giron, winning in straight sets as well. Zverev never had any success here in London. He is yet to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. Last year at Wimbledon, Zverev lost in the third round against Matteo Berrettini.
According to the bookies, Norrie is the big underdog in this matchup. Based on his second round performance, we believe that he could have a decent chance against Zverev. Norrie loves to play on grass, and we believe that he will keep this match tight.
That being said, Norrie covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Cameron Norrie +6.5 games handicap @-130 @FanDuel
