    Bautista to win vs Cilic odds 2.10

    Really like this odds. Baustista looked to have shaked some of the early nerves he came into this tournament with, which made him go into 2x 5 set matches, which he probably and should've have ended in 3-4 if he was 100%. But on the positive side from Bautista he seemed to be playing better now deeper in the tournament, and provided his best performance so far in the tournament vs Khachanov, where he played superb from start to the end. He looked fresh and motivated, and should be ready to take on Cilic, who comes in with kind of a similar playstyle as Khachanov - Big serve, and big forehand. So Bautista should be well prepared, and could have a quite easy match on his hands, if Cilic doesnt find his top game. Because he have been looking quite shaky in all his previous rounds, and was close to an exit vs Verdasco, who were not even playing particular great by any means. The longest rally between those to only came to 20 hits, and a topmotivated and confident Bautista should be able to extend the rallies vs Cilic to force the errors, and should also have a great advantage on the backhand wing, where Cilic have been very night and day.

    I really like Bautista to win this match. He is great at dealing with Cilics power, and will force Cilic to make that 1 or 2 extra winner shots to win the rally, which really can crack down Cilic, if he is not playing 100%.


    Other mentions: Tiafoe to beat Dimitrov odds 3. He got the game to beat Dimitrov. He loves to attack and come to the net. Dimitrovs backhand will be tested and needs to be on point, or he could get in serious trouble vs a top confident and well playing Tiafoe. Worth a shot.

    Nice write up. Still, not that sure about Bautista here. Seems like market is constantly step behind when figuring the right price for him. Severely undervalued vs Khachanov at +3.5 and now pretty much at evens vs arguably better player. Smells like an overreaction

    Agree about Tiafoe. Managed to catch him at +4.5. Think that match up wise, Seppi was a tougher challenge for him then Dimitrov. No hide and seek in this one. Just trying to out-strike each other. And in current form, I like his in that type of match.

    I think both Cilic and Dimitrov win.

    Cilic was lucky to defeat Verdasco but it will allow him to play more freely. Verdasco's serve was on fire, at least tomorrow Cilic will have more opportuities on the return.

    Dimitrov, because he has more experience at this level.

    Ok, fair enough. It was an easy 3 set win for Agut
