Hunting for upsets at 50/1...
Wednesday 27th July 2022
I said it was a busy week, and with five tournaments taking place, I've got three underdogs for us to back on Thursday's match schedule.
Dare we dream of the treble, it's 50/1 for the lot. And at the prices, each of these merit standalone singles, too.
ATP Umag:
Marco Cecchinato to beat Lorenzo Musetti @ 5/2 (3.5)
Cecchinato is a bit of an enigma on the tour. A former surprise French Open semi-finalist, Marco is almost a clay-court-only guy these days. This all-Italian clash could play into his hands, with Ones to Watch youngster Musetti possibly running out of steam after a dramatic charge to a maiden ATP title last week. In the 1st round here in Croatia, Lorenzo was pushed to the full three sets by underdog Aljaz Bedene. Cecchinato and Musetti have met once before, on clay in Paris, and it went all the way to five sets. The match outsider could pull off a minor upset here.
WTA Prague:
Linda Noskova to beat Alize Cornet @ 2/1 (3.0)
There are a few Czech teenagers on show in Prague this week, and 17-year-old Noskova looks like one of the best. The veteran Cornet has late-career good vibes after a great run at Wimbledon, but the hard-hitting youngster is also full of beans having won a title on the lower-tier ITF circuit this month. The newcomer is a danger here and can claim a decent scalp.
WTA Warsaw:
Maja Chwalinska to beat Petra Martic @ 4/1 (5.0)
Time to put my money where my mouth is here, with our 100/1 tournament outsider Chwalinska getting the chance to take out an experienced and higher-ranked opponent. Martic is the 8th seed here and won a title last time out on clay, but looked ropey in her 1st round match, lucky to escape in two sets against an opponent ranked no.346 in the world. Petra trailed in both sets, including saving five set points in the opener. Coughing up 19 break points in the match was an ugly stat, and if Martic is anything like that on Thursday, then the 20-year-old Polish player can send the home crowd away smiling. Odds of 4/1 instantly appeal to me for the upset.
