Vukic vs Martinez Portero. ATP Chengdu Match Prediction
Four years ago at Roland Garros, Pedro Martinez Portero left Alexander Vukic with no chance. Now everything has changed and the Australian is considered the favorite of the match. How will the confrontation between the tennis players end in the match on September 20? Bets and betting tips will give the answer to this question
Command Analysis
Aleksandar Vukic
AustraliaCurrent form
Vukic's first opponent in the tournament was Borna Coric. The Croatian is a tough opponent, so the Australian's victory was not easy. Aleksandar had to play three games.
It is worth adding that Vukic has not surprised with anything special lately. In Winston-Salem he reached the third round, and at the US Open he lost to Max Purcell in the first round.
Professional qualities
Sometimes Vukic gets a big boost from his strong serve and forehand, but that doesn't happen very often. The Australian is considered a mediocre tennis player who can't boast of anything extraordinary.
Current indicators in the tour
Surprisingly, Vukic has 15 losses on hard this season. He has only celebrated a victory in nine matches on this surface. Because of this, the Australian risks falling outside the top hundred of the ranking and currently occupies the 92nd place.
Interesting facts for betting
Recently, Vukic's matches have been played too often to the maximum number of games. For example, this was the case in 3 of the Australian's 4 previous matches.
Pedro Martinez
SpainCurrent form
Martinez Portero came to Chengdu from the Davis Cup, where he defended the colors of the Spanish national team. There he played one match, which was unsuccessful for him. He lost the match against Alexei Popyrin with a score of 4:6, 4:6.
It is worth adding that Pedro also met Popyrin at the US Open. He also lost that fight easily. However, before that, the Spaniard defeated Max Kasnikowski.
Professional qualities
Martinez Porter has a hard time playing on hard courts. He doesn't have a strong serve, and his overall style of play is suited to clay. It's no wonder he hasn't had any success on this surface.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2024, Martinez Portero played 12 matches on open hard courts, winning only six. However, his successful play on clay allowed the Spanish representative to take the 42nd place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Martinez Portero has lost 4 of his last 5 matches on outdoor hard courts. The Spaniard has been very unsuccessful on this surface. It is not surprising that Pedro is considered an underdog in the match.
Trends
Total under 2.5 sets bet
In 3 of the Spaniard's last 5 matches there was no exchange of sets
1.62Bet 1st set: total over 9.5 games
Martinez Portero has had 9+ games in the first set in 3 of his last 4 matches
1.79Tip and bets
Martinez Portero has nothing to counter Vukic with. Previous matches have shown that the Spaniard is far from his optimal playing condition and is unlikely to please with successful actions on a surface that is not his core. We believe that the Australian will have no problems.
Our betting tip - Vukic with a handicap (-2) game for 1.70
Bet on total
Martinez Portero is unlikely to even be able to force a fight. This is not his surface, so the match should end quickly for him.
Betting Tip - total under 23.5 games for 1.65
Tiebreak bet
Four of the Spaniard's last five hard court matches have not seen a tiebreak. We doubt that will happen against Vukic.
Betting Tip - tie-break - no for 1.65
