consider hosts to be a favorite. KPV Marcello Beuker banned and Aku Ahokangas injured. According to the team's advance, Sebu Mannström's and Miika Kauppila's fitness for the whole match may also be questionable. A long bus ride is also a burden.
so Pepo dnb @1.75 is playable under this circumstances, finland Ykonen, small stakes
The discomfort in the knee of Jannik Sinner now could be the biggest impediment for him to reach the quarterfinals. The Italian had started by overwhelming the weak McKenzie McDonald but had to be assisted by the physio and from then on he showed great weakness. If McDonald did not come back it was because of the inability of the American since he had Sinner completely on the ropes. In the subsequent press conference, the Italian commented that he had physical problems but did not want to comment on what it was or what was enough. Obviously, in this situation, I don't even consider going in here with him. Mind you, with each passing round of a Grand Slam Andrey Rublev becomes less reliable. The Russian is one of those who collapses at key moments and in big events, so this generates enormous doubts about his performance. Here he has won his 3 matches in 4 sets, but especially in this last one against Garin is when he has suffered the most and left the most doubts. The Chilean clearly had the opportunity to take the match to an unpredictable fifth set but he was unable to close a fourth set in which he had a 2 break lead and 5 set balls. If Sinner were fit, I think that on clay he is clearly superior to the Russian and also in the mental aspect he also starts with a great advantage. Of course, with these physical doubts, I let the option of entering with him pass.
CILIC VS MEDVEDEV
Daniil Medvedev has just completed the best game of his entire career on clay by crushing a tennis player who was coming at a great moment like Kecmanovic. In this way, the Russian is only one more victory away from equaling the quarterfinals reached in the last edition of this event. This was completely unthinkable a few weeks ago when the Russian still did not know if he would participate here and that he also played this event with little preparation or adaptation. But Medvedev encountered injured opponents in the first two rounds and from there it seems that he has already found the sweet spot to compete on clay. Of course, no matter how much progress has been made, it is hard for me to see the Russian at such low odds and not consider going against him. The pity is that his rival is a Marin Cilic who doesn't offer maximum guarantees either with his great irregularity. He has completed some very positive first rounds but it must be taken into account that two of his rivals had serious physical problems so he should not be overestimated either and there are enormous doubts as to how he will behave against a much more demanding opponent at the back of the court as he is Medvedev. The Russian is the favorite but not to see him at these odds.
