Tennis Betting Advice - February 2024
Match pick for this morning...
Monday 5th February 2024
Good morning. With no fewer than five tournaments taking place this week, that means there's a busy match schedule...
I'll be looking at the Each Way opportunities in the Outright Winner markets over the next day or two. But for this morning, I have a Match Winner pick for us...
Play starts at 11am, UK time.
This match is the final round of Qualifying for the ATP Marseille event, played on indoor hard courts.
Damm to beat Cressy @ 5/4
Martin Damm catches my eye as a slight underdog in the betting here. This is an all-American clash, and a battle of big servers, too...
Cressy stands 6'7" - and Damm is 6'8"...
These two have met once before, and you won't be surprised to learn that two tall men produced a tiebreak set. They played indoors in Bratislava last season, with Damm prevailing, 6-4, 7-6.
The 20-year-old Damm is the underdog here. But the older and higher-ranked Cressy has been a vulnerable favourite for the past year or so. Piling up the double faults with an overly-aggressive second serve. And losing his way on the tour somewhat, having reaching the giddy heights of the Eastbourne final for us on grass in 2022, when in the book as a Ones to Watch bet at 40/1.
Right now, Damm is the player I want to be behind, with the lesser-known player bringing a 1-0 head-to-head in this match-up, and looking a slice of value for a Monday morning starter...
