Expert Betting Tips

Zverev comes off an outstanding win, in straight sets, over Karen Khachanov, in a very dominant performance, where he lost just five games. He leads Carreno Busta 4-0 in head-to-heads and is 2-0 against him on hard courts. Indeed, he won very comfortably in their last meeting on the same surface. Although he won both of his last two matches in Cincinnati, Pablo Carreno Busta is very early in his comeback phase from elbow surgery. He has been at a shaky overall level of form this season, failing to win against such a strong player as Alexander Zverev recently. Backing Zverev to win in straight sets, on that note, is a very good bet.
