Betting 2024 Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag

The 34 edition of the Croatia Open, also known as the Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag for sponsorship reasons, takes place from July 22-27 at the International Tennis Center in Umag, Croatia.

The ATP 250 tournament is played on clay courts and has been won by the likes of Alexei Popyrin (2023), Jannik Sinner (2022), Carlos Alcaraz (2021), and Dusan Lajovic (2019).

It’s one of two clay court events this week and features eight top-40 players, boasting arguably the best field of all three tournaments this week.

 

ATP Croatia Top 8 Seeds

  • Andrey Rublev (No. 8)
  • Lorenzo Musetti (No. 16)
  • Holger Rune (No. 17)
  • Francisco Cerundolo (No. 33)
  • Luciano Darderi (No. 35)
  • Mariano Navone (No. 36)
  • Tomas Machac (No. 38)
  • Matteo Arnaldi (No. 39)
 

2024 Croatia Open Top 3 Players

Andrey Rublev

The top seed in the tournament, Andrey Rublev would otherwise be competing in the Olympics Tennis tournament beginning over the weekend, but Russia is still banned from all competitions by the IOC.

Thus, he’s a major betting favorite and the only top-10 player competing in any ATP event this week.

He plays the winner of Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Luka Mikrut in the second round with potential semi-final opponents being Fabian Marozsan, Francisco Cerundolo, and Alexandre Muller.

Rublev is 24-13 this season, but he has struggled as of late, losing four consecutive matches against Matteo Arnaldi, Marcos Giron, Francisco Comesana, and Thiago Agustin Tirante.

Still, he’s the most accomplished player in the field and one of the best on clay courts, boasting a 9-5 record this season and 19-5 last year.

He won twice this season in Hong Kong and Madrid.

 

Lorenzo Musetti

Lorenzo Musetti reached the semi-finals of a grand slam for the first time in his career at Wimbledon, but was beaten in three sets by seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

Musetti might have had a relatively easy path to the semis, but did score an impressive win over Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals and reached the final two weeks prior at ATP London.

Musetti is 29-20 overall this season and 10-8 on clay courts.

He’ll face one of two Argentinian qualifiers in the second round and should be a good bet to at least make the semis, with his potential quarter-final opponents being Lajovic, Flavio Cobolli, and Mariano Navone.

 

Holger Rune

Rune, the third seed in the tournament, will play the winner of Fabio Fognini and Luca Van Assche in the second round.

Rune has had a strong season overall, with a 27-15 record, but won just once and that was way back in January at ATP Brisbane.

The world No. 17 reached three semi-finals and the fourth rounds at Wimbledon and the French Open.

He’s trending in the right direction.

Rune is coming off of a quarter-final exit at ATP Hamburg and is 11-6 on clay this season.

He was 16-4 on the surface in 2023.

 

Betting Croatia Open Final Prediction

Rune is a good value betting pick for the Croatia Open.

He has been among the most consistent players this season and is seemingly due for another title.

The 4-time champion hasn’t won since January and has a favorable path to the final.

Rublev has lost four in a row, so it’s hard to bet on him at this point.

I like Cerundolo to win the top half of the draw, but Rune to win in the final.

Pick: Rune def. Cerundolo

ATP 2021 Generali Open Betting Preview & Predictions
 

Previous Betting News

MyBookie brings you a betting preview and prediction for Generali Open 2021, where we take a look at the main contenders for you to watch out for and provide you with all the information you’ll need to place bets on ATP Betting Odds.

Generali Open Tennis Analysis & Predictions | ATP Betting

The Generali Open 2021 (also known as 2021 Generali Open Kitzbühel) is a tennis tournament played on clay courts at Tennis stadium Kitzbühel in Kitzbühel, Austria. This year will mark the 77th edition of the event, which will be played as a part of the World Tour 250 Series of the 2021 ATP Tour.

Although the tournament won’t feature any of the top-10 ranked players in the world, the field won’t lack talented up-and-coming players, including the Swiss Open champion Casper Ruud, world no.16 Roberto Bautista Agut, and Filip Krajinović.

Tennis Betting Preview for ATP 250 Generali Open 2021

When: 24-31 July
Where: Tennis stadium Kitzbühel in Kitzbühel, Austria

Names to Watch Out For

Casper Ruud

World no.14, Casper Ruud leads the field in Austria as the top-seeded player and the recently crowned Swiss Open 2021 champion. Ruud will begin his journey to the title in the top half, where he is a stand-out name and the man to beat for anyone looking to claim the ATP 250 Generali Open 2021 crown.

Although Ruud is definitely beatable, it will require a monumental effort to stop him with the form he is in. Not only has he won the Swiss Open, but Ruud has also claimed the title in Bastad, marking his second clay court title of the year – and he will surely look forward to making it three in Austria.

What’s more, Ruud has played six games over the last two weeks and won all, dropping only one set along the way. 

Ruud has received a direct bye into the second round, where he is expected to meet with Jaume Munar, who he has last faced in 2018 and won in three sets. From there, the Norwegian could meet with Paolo Cuevas, Mikael Ymer, Alexander Erler, or Aljaž Bedene.

Aljaž Bedene

Aljaž Bedene is Ruud’s most likely opponent in the quarter-finals, assuming he makes it past Erler and the winner of the Cuevas v Ymer match.

Bedene enters the ATP 250 Generali Open with a 2-3 record in his last five, with losses against Marco Cecchinato (0-2) in the 1/16 finals of Umag Open, a 1-2 loss against Marton Fucsovics in the 1/16 finals of Eastbourne, and a 0-3 loss against Matteo Berrettini in Wimbledon.

Bedene and Ruud have yet to meet, which could serve as an advantage for the Slovenian tennis player, who is known as a solid clay court player. He averages a 69.33% win rate on clay; however, he is 8-8 on the surface in 2021.

Bedene might not be in the best form ahead of ATP 250 Generali Open; however, he has done well against top-rated players before, which makes him a live underdog to impress in Austria. A win against Ruud would more or less guarantee him a deep run, and while he will need to step it up to achieve that feat, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility to see Bedene make it to at least the semi-finals.

Roberto Bautista Agut

Roberto Bautista Agut leads the bottom half of the tournament and will – like Ruud – begin his journey to the title in the second round. There, he will face either Lucas Pouille or Pedro Martinez.

The Spaniard was expected to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but decided against it and instead chose to participate in ATP events. Bautista Agut travels to Austria with a chip on his shoulders, following R2 exit at Gstaad, where he lost to Arthur Rinderknech (2-6, 4-6).

Despite his lack of success in Switzerland, Bautista Agut has done well in previous tournaments. He has reached Round of 16 in Wimbledon, QF at Mallorca Open, and Round of 16 at the Italian Open.

Bautista Agut is the man to watch for this tournament, but not necessarily because we expect him to succeed. There is a real possibility that he could get eliminated in the second round or in the quarter-finals, where he is likely to meet with the rising star, Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz has been making some serious noise in Umag and seems set to make a splash in Austria as well. Like Bedene, Alcaraz has a clear path to the finals, and considering the out-of-form Bautista Agut is his main threat for a spot in the finals, a smaller position on the 18-year-old on the e/w market could present an excellent betting opportunity.
