1.73Tip and bets
Bolt returns to the Hangzhou tournament in solid form after a brief hiatus. The Australian has shown consistent performance and the ability to challenge even higher-ranked opponents. We believe Alex will at least secure a positive handicap in this match.
Our prediction is a victory for Bolt with a handicap of (+4) games at odds of 1.88
Betting on Totals
Bolt has the experience to unsettle the 22-year-old Cazot, especially as the French player is not currently at his best. We anticipate this match will extend to three sets.
Our second prediction is over 22 games at odds of 1.84.
Betting on the First Set
In three of Cazot's last five matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We expect Arthur's upcoming clash with Bolt will also begin with a low-scoring first set.
The prediction is under 9.5 games in the first set at odds of 1.81.
