Analyzing the ATP Tennis Betting Odds and Top Contenders for Gonet Geneva Open

Previous Betting News

The Gonet Geneva Open, an ATP 250 event, began on Sunday with the end of qualification play and early first-round matches. The clay court tournament, held every year at Tennis Club de Genève at the Parc des Eaux-Vives, is one of two ATP tournaments being played this week, with the French Open beginning next week.

Casper Ruud, the two-time defending champion, headlines the field and is the No. 1 seed. There are some other fairly big names in the tournament, while two-time champion and Switzerland native Stan Wawrinka is a notable absence.

Let’s take a look at the updated ATP odds for the 2023 Gonet Geneva Open and some of the first-round odds at MyBookie.

Ruud Looking to Win Third Consecutive Title

As the top seed in the tournament, Ruud receives a bye into the second round and will play the winner of J.J. Wolf and Hugo Dellien Jr. He has a fairly easy draw to the semifinals, where he could match up against German Alexander Zverev, who is looking to gain momentum heading toward the French Open – he injured his ankle in the semifinals last year at Roland Garros and was forced to withdraw from the tournament.

Ruud, 24, is a somewhat disappointing 11-9 this season and is coming off of a semifinal loss to Dane Holger Rune at the Italian Open. He lost his Round of 64 match the week prior in Madrid. It was Ruud’s first loss to Rune in five matches. Ruud is 10-4 on clay this season and has a 67.6 percent winning percentage on the surface.

Other Challengers

Zverev is the biggest challenge to Ruud winning his second title of the season. The talented German is 6-4 on clay this season. He and Ruud are the only players born after 1995 to record 100 career clay court victories on the ATP Tour.

Zverev hasn’t quite returned to form since his ankle injury last year, however. He was a career-best world No. 2 last June but is now ranked No. 22 and hasn’t won a tournament this season. Taylor Fritz might be a more realistic option to take down Ruud, although they won’t meet until the finals.

Fritz, the world No. 9, is 27-9 this season. He reached the Round of 16 in Madrid two weeks ago and had reached at least the quarter-finals in each of his last seven tournaments. He won the ATP 250 event in Delray Beach in February.

Longshot Picks

Anything can happen in these short one-week tournaments. That’s why it doesn’t hurt to sprinkle some action on longshot picks for outright betting. There are a few decent selections in Geneva, the most attractive of which is Roberto Carballés Baena.

Baena, a 30-year-old Spaniard, has 19 career ITF titles and two ATP titles, both of which were on clay. He’s 10-7 on clay this season and has a career winning percentage of 62.7 on the surface. He’ll play a qualifier in the first round and will meet fourth seed Grigor Dimitrov if he advances.

MyBookie brings you free betting preview and predictions for two ATP 250 tennis tournaments. Today, we take a look at Gonet Geneva Open and Open Parc Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Lyon, providing you with all the information you’ll need to make picks on the ATP Betting Odds.

Tennis Betting Preview for the 2022 ATP Geneva Open and Lyon Open

Gonet Geneva Open Player To Watch

Daniil Medvedev enters the 2022 Geneva Open as the current no.2 on the ATP rankings and is the top-seeded player in the tournament. However, while Medvedev is expected to dominate the field and claim the trophy, we have our eyes set on another player.

Casper Ruud, who enters Geneva Open as the current no.10 in the world, might not be considered one of the favorites, but he has all the tools needed to go all the way.

The Norwegian tennis star travels to Geneva following a fairly disappointing performance in Madrid, where he lost against Lakovic (6-7, 6-2, 4-6), but we wouldn’t overreact to that showing. Admittedly, Ruud has not achieved much this season, but he has shown enough.

He won the Argentina Open in February and has since produced mixed results. Most notably, Ruud could only reach R32 of Indian Wells, but he made the finals of the Miami Open. Then he reached R16 in Monte Carlo and went all the way to QF in Barcelona and in the Bavarian International.

Moreover, he is the defending champion of the Geneva Open, having won the tournament in 2021 when he beat Denis Shapovalov (7-6, 6-4). So despite his relative lack of success in 2022, Ruud should be considered a serious threat for the Geneva Open title.

Open Parc Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Lyon Player To Watch

Open Parc Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Lyon will feature a much weaker field than the Geneva Open, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it offers plenty of excellent betting opportunities. 

With the defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas not attending, all the eyes will be set on Cameron Norrie, who reached the finals in 2021 and is the only player in the field to reach the final stage of the Lyon Open before.

He is currently ranked no.11 in the world, ahead of Pablo Carreño Busta (no.18) and Gaël Monfils (no.21) as the top-three seeded players. And while any of the three can win, we have no reason to doubt Norrie.

Admittedly, Norrie has not been phenomenal this season, but he has had his moments. Norrie reached R16 in Madrid, QFs in Barcelona, R16 in Miami, and quarter-finals at Indian Wells. And if we look further back, Norrie was also in the finals of the Mexican Open, won Delray Beach Open, and reached QFs in Rotterdam.

Despite having only one tournament victory to his name, Norrie has looked good and deserves respect ahead of the Lyon Open. Although he has been a bit inconsistent with his performances, Norrie has delivered in some of the most significant events of the year and even claimed a few big scalps, so as long as he can keep the wind in his sails, Norrie should be bound for at least a top-four finish.

At the offered ATP betting odds, it’s hard to pass on Cameron Norrie to improve his showing from last year and win the tournament. Of course, he might slip, but there are very few players in the field who can cause him issues.

The Geneva field also includes Top 30 stars Denis Shapovalov, Casper Ruud, Cristian Garin, and Fabio Fognini. Ruud has reached the semi-finals at his past three events (Monte-Carlo, Munich and Madrid) and has entered the Top 20 for the first time. World No. 8 Roger Federer is the top seed with World No. 14 Denis Shapovalov the second seed.
