Rolex Paris Masters Final
Jack Sock vs Filip Krajinovic
The meeting of Jack Sock and Filip Krajinovic in the French capital might not be what tennis live betting fans expected, but with plenty on the line for the two surprise finalists, the matchup should still be as thrilling as a Rafael Nadal–Roger Federer classic.
Indeed, online betting is up for a huge treat as Sock and Krajinovic fight for their maiden ATP Masters 1000 title. Not to mention that history is also up for grabs for the two, with the American aiming to make his first ATP Finals and the Serb looking to become the first qualifier to win the Paris Masters.
Sock is the overwhelming favourite on betting websites to win the tournament. He has been a revelation in Paris, even overcoming home hero Julien Benneteau yesterday despite the Frenchman’s clear advantage.
The 25-year-old Nebraska native is also in excellent form, swinging big and showcasing his supreme speed and athleticism to take down the likes of Kyle Edmund, Lucas Pouille and Fernando Verdasco on his way to this stage.
It won’t be an easy game for Sock, however, despite what the odds suggest. Krajinovic is on a roll and will be a tough player to beat after a dream week that saw him crush World No.13 Sam Querrey before upsetting the big-hitting John Isner in the semis.
The Serb is playing smooth and effective tennis, taking full advantage of the slow courts in Bercy. He also appears confident and composed—as seen in his thrilling three-setter against Isner—and hits the ball cleanly, with his backhand proving to be a great weapon.
Sock and Krajinovic have never met in an ATP World Tour event, but they played each other in the semi-finals of the 2014 Challenger Tour in Savannah, Georgia where Sock won in three sets.
I like what Sock has shown so far in the competition, and his tour experience should give him the edge over Krajinovic. Nonetheless, I think Krajinovic has enough to bring the game to distance and make life hard for the London dreamer. With that said, betting on Krajinovic Asian Handicap +1.50 @ 1.74 is the best way to go.
