Tennis Betting Advice - February 2023
ATP Acapulco - One to Watch at 28/1...
Monday 27th February 2023
Good afternoon. It’s another busy week with five tournaments on the calendar. We won’t be betting in all of them. But I certainly want to strike when there are appealing prices to be had. And following on from this morning’s advice for WTA Austin. I’ve got one selection for us this evening for ATP Acapulco…
Going up in Acapulco…
As I write (4.30pm), the bookies’ Outright Winner markets for ATP Acapulco have just started to appear. I’ll keep this email brief in order to give you the best chance of getting on while these initial prices are still available.
Play starts from around 11pm UK time. And our man will be in action in the 1st round overnight…
The youngster I like for a decent outsider-priced run at this Mexican hard-court event is Jeffrey John Wolf. The 24-year-old American was impressive at the Australian Open in January, making the second week of a Major (round of last 16) for the first time in his burgeoning senior career.
‘JJ’ followed up that Melbourne run with a semi-final showing at ATP Dallas this month.
Wolf made his debut in an ATP final last season, finishing runner-up in Florence. The world no.44 can kick on this year…
The Acapulco field (and market) may yet get moved around, if top seed and world no.2 Carlos Alcaraz decides not to play. The Spanish teenage superstar was clearly carrying an injury in Sunday night’s Rio de Janeiro final on clay, where he lost to Cameron Norrie from a set and a break up. (Norrie is also in the hat this week for Acapulco, at 7/1.)
Alcaraz is a 2/1 favourite, but crucially perhaps for our bet on J.J Wolf, the American is in the opposite side of the draw to the 19-year-old phenom, and as such would avoid the top seed until the final.
Betfred have opened up at 28/1 for Wolf, with 22/1 elsewhere – see below.
Expect other bookmakers to get involved this evening, before play begins at 11pm+. I’d say 20/1+ is the price to go for, if you’re looking for a guide.
And as ever – my advice is to bet Each Way…
