ABN AMRO Open Odds, Picks, and Tennis Betting Analysis

Previous Betting News

The ATP Tour continues its indoor European swing this week with the ATP 500 – ABN Amro Open, formerly known as the Rotterdam Open. Played on the indoor hard courts of the Rotterdam Ahoy, the event features a 32-player field and has been part of the tour since 1972. This year’s event has drawn a handful of the top 10 players in the world though Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Rafael Nadal are all absent, either through injury or time off.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, ranked No. 3 in the world, is the top seed, followed by No. 5 Andrey Rublev. Felix Auger-Aliassime (7), Holger Rune (9), Hubert Hurkacz (10), and Daniil Medvedev (12) are also in the packed field. The draw has a full 32 players, so unlike last week’s 250 tournaments, there are no first-round byes in Rotterdam. Let’s take a look at some of the ATP odds and ways to approach the ABN Amro Open at MyBookie.

Tennis Picks and Analysis: ATP 500 – Rotterdam Open

The Favorites

Medvedev is seeded sixth, but he is the favorite to win the ABN Amro Open, despite not playing since he lost in the Australian Open last month. Tsitsipas, who made it to the Australian Open Final before falling to Novak Djokovic, is the second favorite. He also hasn’t played on tour since Melbourne but was in action for Greece at the Davis Cup earlier this month.

Fresh off a win at the Montpellier Open, Jannik Sinner is third in line odds-wise to win the title in Rotterdam. The Italian potentially faces Tsitsipas in the second round, with Medvedev in the other half of the bracket. Rune is also in the top half of the bracket and has the fourth-best odds to win this event.

Hurkacz -170

As the fifth seed in Rotterdam, Hubert Hukacz is -170 to win his first-round match against Roberto Bautista Agut at +123. Hurkacz has never beaten the Spaniard in three tries, but enters this tournament in better form. The No. 10 player in the world didn’t play last week and should be well-rested for this event.

Meanwhile, RBA crashed out of the Montpellier Open in his first match, 6-3, 6-4 last week. He is ranked 24th on the tour and 7-4 this season. These two have played just one time in the last three years, a 3-set win by RBA, but this time around, Hurkacz flips the script.

Cressy -204

One of the few Americans on tour playing in Europe this month instead of the Dallas to Delray Beach tandem, Paris-born Maxime Cressy reached the finals last week. Ranked No. 40 in the world, Cressy lost to Sinner in the Montpellier finals 7-6, 6-3 after knocking off Rune in the semis

In Rotterdam, he faces Dutch native Tim Van Rijthoven on home soil for the first round. Cressy should be highly confident against a player he’s never faced, ranked outside the top 100. Cressy is -204 to advance, while Van Rijthoven is +151 and just 2-1 on the season.

Barrere +110

Another player coming off a great tournament in France is Gregoire Barrere. The Frenchman knocked off seeded Alexander Bublik before falling to Rune in the quarterfinals, with both sets going to a tiebreak. Barrere had to qualify for this event, and he is a first-round underdog at +110, with David Goffin at -135.

Goffin has struggled so far this season at 3-4 on Tour, and he lost a crucial match to South Korea’s Soonwoo Kwon. Goffin missed the Australian Open with an illness and hasn’t seen as much top-flight competition this season as Barrere. That combination leaves the Belgian ripe for an upset against a younger player he hasn’t faced in four years.

2022 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament Expert Analysis | Tennis Betting

ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament Info

The 2022 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament is a men’s tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It will mark the 49th edition of the Rotterdam Open and is a part of the ATP Tour 500 series on the 2022 ATP Tour.

The men’s singles tournament will welcome some of the top-rated tennis players in the world, including world no.4, Stefanos Tsitsipas as the top seed, world no.7 Andrey Rublev, and world no.9 Félix Auger-Aliassime as the third seed. Joining the trio are Hubert Hurkacz (no.11), Denis Shapovalov (no.12), Cameron Norrie (no.13), Aslan Karatsev (no.15), and Nikoloz Basilashvili (no.21).

Andrey Rublev enters the 2022 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament as the reigning champion, having won the tournament in 2021, with a 7-6, 6-4 against Márton Fucsovics, who will be competing at the event, looking to improve upon his showing last year.

Players To Watch Out For

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Stefanos Tsitsipas is priced as the main favorite to win the 2022 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, at odds close to +300 on most sports betting sites. That makes sense since he is the top-rated player of the event, and the tournament hasn’t exactly seen many upset winners – not a single one since Martin Klizan’s triumph in 2016.

Tsitsipas is fresh off a solid start to the season, having made semis in the 2022 Australian Open, where he lost against Daniil Medvedev (1-3) but has done well enough to defeat Sinner (3-0), Fritz (3-2), Paire (3-1), Baez (3-1), and Ymer (3-0).

However, while Tsitsipas has shown enough for us to believe he has a realistic chance to win in the Netherlands, his short odds make him a far less appealing pick.  

Andrey Rublev

Priced as the second-favorite to win his second ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament title, Rublev should arguably be priced much closer to Tsitsipas. That is even though the Greek shone in Australia and has already won seven titles at lower-level events such as this one.

But it’s worth noting that four of those seven titles have come indoors, granted on much faster courses – two in Marseille. The Rotterdam course, on the other side, is very slow and was a hot topic of discussion among the players, so it’s fair to say that it won’t suit Tsitsipas.

However, that just might help Rublev, who has a very solid record on indoor hard courts – four of his career eight titles have come in these conditions. What’s more, he is the reigning champion, so it’s fair to say that the slow courts don’t bother him, and he seemed to do fine in Moscow, St Petersburg, and Vienna as well.

Admittedly, Rublev underperformed in Australia, where he crashed out of R3. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that he should do more than fine in the Netherlands.

Alexander Bublik 

Alexander Bublik is a solid longshot pick at odds as high as +3300. He has an exceptional serve which should cut through the suboptimal conditions. Most notably, he served 69 aces when he rediscovered his form in Montpellier, where he won his maiden title.

Obviously, there are better players in the field than Bublik, but he’s a bit overpriced at the offered ATP betting odds. One thing that could concern you is fatigue and whether it will play a part this week, but Bublik has looked much better of late, and if his performance in France is any indication, he should do more than fine in Rotterdam as well.

Marcos Giron (+623) Vs No. 8 Andrey Rublev (-1428)

When: Tuesday, March 2 at 6:30 AM

27-year-old American Marcos Giron is ranked 80th in the world. The 5’11” Californian has gone an uninspiring 2-3 on the year and comes into this event fresh off a first round ouster against the unheralded Tallon Griekspoor at Montpellier two weeks ago. 23-year-old Russian Andrey Rublev has gone a near-perfect 8-1 on the year with his only loss coming against countryman and world No. 4 Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open.

Prediction: While these two players have never met before, Andrey Rublev is the ‘super easy’ pick to get it done in this one. Rublev won the most titles of any ATP World Tour player last year and looks like a player with grand slam potential in his near future. Rublev is the bigger, younger, stronger and far more complete player in this matchup.

Pick: Andrey Rublev in Straight Sets

No. 8 Stan Wawrinka (-108) Vs Karen Kachanov (-121)

When: Tuesday, March 2 at 8:30 AM

35-year-old Swiss star Stan Wawrinka is ranked 20th in the ATP World Tour rankings. The three-time slam winner is 3- on the year and reached the second round in Australian before bowing out in a five-set thriller against Marton Fucsovics. 24-year-old Russian Karen Kachanov is ranked 21st in the rankings and is 5-2 on the year. The 6-6 star reached the third round in Australia before being dispatched by world No. 10 Matteo Berrettini in straight sets.

Prediction: Wawrinka owns a 2-1 edge against Kachanov in three career meetings, but the Russian won their last meetings 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2 at the Canada Masters in 2019. Still, I’m going with the ‘Stanimal’ to get the ‘upset’ here in a three-set thriller. Wawrinka is fully healthy for the first time in a couple of years and has looked quite hungry this year, even if he is aging. Wawrinka is the far more experienced player in this matchup and I believe he’ll get the three-set win because of that edge.

Pick: Stan Wawrinka in 3 Sets

Top Tennis Betting Picks of the Week – February 24th 2020

Daniel Evans vs No. 4 Fabio Fognini

2/25/2020 at 7:00 AM ET

29-year-old Englishman and world No. 37 Daniel Evans is 8-4 on the year while 32-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini is an uninspiring 4-5 on the year. Evans comes into this match off a run to the quarterfinals at the ABN Amro in Rotterdam in which he dispatched veterans Phillip Kohlschreiber and young star Karen Kachanov before falling to the explosive Gael Monfils in straight sets. For his part, Fognini was embarrassed in his opener against Kachanov 6-3, 6-3. While these two veterans have never met before, I’m expecting Fabio Fognini to bounce back from his slow start to get the big win here in three sets, mostly out of sheer desperation. Evans is the more cerebral player of the two, but tennis fans and betting enthusiasts know that the unpredictable Fabio Fognini is capable of upsetting anyone on the face of the planet on any given day. I like Fognini in a match that goes the distance.

Pick: Fabio Fognini in Three Sets
Hurkacz against Corentin Moutet.

No. 2 Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Pablo Carreno Busta

2/25/2020 at 10:00 AM ET

21-year-old World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas is 7-4 on the year and comes into this event fresh off a thrilling 6-3, 6-4 win over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the finals of the Open 13 in Marseilles on Sunday. 28-year-old Spaniard and world No. 28 Pablo Carreno Busta is 6-4 on the year and he made a nice run to the semis at Marseilles before falling to FA2 in straight sets.

These two have met once before with Tsitsipas taking care of business en route to a 7-5, 6-3 win in Barcelona in 2018. While Pablo Carreno Busta is a player that plays to the maximum of his ability far more often than not, Stefanos Tsitsipas is by far, the more talented player in this affair with far bigger and more dangerous weapons. With the young Greek star felling quite confident after winning his second straight title in Marseilles, I’m going with the world No. 6 to get it done in this one in straight sets.

Pick: Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 6-4
Hurkacz against Corentin Moutet.

No. 5 Roberto Bautista Agut vs. Jan Lenard Struff

2/25/2020 at 10:20 AM ET

31-year-old  Spaniard and world No. 12 Roberto Bautista Agut is a robust 9-2 on the year while 29-year-old world No. 34 Jan-Lenard Struff is an uninspiring 3-4 on the year. Bautista Agut comes into this event fresh off a heartbreaking three-set loss against Pablo Carreno Busta at the ABN Amro in Rotterdam while Struff was bounced out in the first round by young phenom Felix Auger-Aliassime, just one event after getting dispatched in the first round by World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. In three career meetings, Bautista Agut has compiled a perfect 3-0 mark that includes a trio of straight set wins, most recently at Halle, German in 2018. I wouldn’t do a whole lot of overthinking for this pairing as the veteran Roberto Bautista Agut will once again, problem solve his way to the convincing win.

Pick: Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 7-6 (4)

Last week, the WTA was in Dubai for the 2019 Dubai Duty Free Championship. This week, the ATP is in Dubai. Great matchups in the Dubai Duty Free take place on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Check out analysis for Marin Cilic against Gael Monfils, Kei Nishikori versus Benoit Paire, Matteo Berrettini versus Denis Kudla, and Hubert Hurkacz against Corentin Moutet.

Top Tennis Betting Picks for the Week – February 25^th Edition

ATP – Men’s Tennis Matchups – 2019 Dubai Duty Free Championships – Round of 32

Marin Cilic vs Gael Monfils

When:  4:00 am ET  Tuesday, Feb. 26
Tennis Odds: Cilic -115 / Monfils -105

Cilic hasn’t played competitively since losing in the 4^th round at the Australian Open to Roberto Bautista Agut. Cilic pushed Agut in the loss, 7-6 (8-6), 3-6, 2-6, 6-4, and 4-6. He did almost everything right, but couldn’t get past his rival.

Monfils heads to Dubai on fire. He dominated Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 to win the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament in his last. Monfils is 9-2 in singles matches this season. He has a recency edge, but Cilic should be well-rested. He’s the play at the slightly lower odds.

Tennis Betting Pick: Marin Cilic

Kei Nishikori vs Benoit Paire

When:  4:00 am ET  Tuesday, Feb. 26
Tennis Odds: Nishikori -495 / Paire +370

On paper, Benoit Paire should have no shot against Kei Nishikori. Paire is 3-5 in singles matches this season. He last played in the Open 13 Provence where he lost to David Goffen 2-6, 3-6 in round 2.

Often, it’s hard to take such short odds, but in this case it’s warranted. Benoit’s a tough tennis player. He’s not on Nishikori’s level, though. The #6 player in the world should dominate Benoit Paire from the first set. Kei easily wins on Tuesday.

Tennis Betting Pick: Kei Nishikori

Matteo Berrettini vs Denis Kudla

When:  4:00 am ET  Tuesday, Feb. 26
Tennis Odds: Berrettini -255 / Kudla +205

22-year-old Berrettini last played at the Open 13 Provence just like Benoit Paire. Like Paire, Berrettini didn’t make it out of the second round, losing 3-6, 6-7 (2-7) to Andrey Rublev.

But, Denis Kudla didn’t make it out of the first round at the Open 13 Provence. He lost to Mikhail Kukushkin 3-6, 3-6. Although it’s tempting to back Kudla because Berrettini’s not really playing much better than he is, Matteo’s got more upside in Dubai. He’s the play.

Tennis Betting Pick: Matteo Berrettini

Hubert Hurkacz  vs Corentin Moutet

When:  4:00 am ET  Tuesday, Feb. 26
Tennis Odds: Hurkacz -140 / Moutet +120

Stefanos Tsitsipas won the Open 13 Provence on Sunday. Tsitsipas ended Hurkacz’s run at the Open 13 Provence with a 6-4, 6-2 win in Round 2. Hurkacz played well in the loss.

19-year-old Corentin Moutet has yet to play this season. He made a decent $318,726 in 2018 when winning 3-of-14 singles matches. If he’s improved at all from last season to this season, he could start his 2019 off great by beating Hurkacz. He’s worth a look at the decent +120 odds.

Tennis Betting Pick: Corentin Moutet
