ATP Tour Odds: Mubadala Citi DC Open Betting Preview

Previous Betting News

The ATP Washington Open (Citi Open) is an annual ATP 500 and WTA International tournament that takes place in Washington, D.C. at the William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center. The men’s tournament is a little larger with a draw size of 48 singles, half of which have to qualify first. Qualification began this past weekend with last-chance players like Taro Daniel, Michael Mmoh, and Borna Gojo earning entry into the tournament.

While those players aren’t exactly household names, the 500 level event has attracted a relatively decent field as players gear up for the US Open later this month. Top-level players in the tournament include Andrey Rublev, Nick Kyrgios, and Hubert Hurkacz. Taylor Fritz is the betting favorite among American players – no American has won the tournament since Andy Roddick in 2007.

The tournament was first held in 1959. Past winners include Juan Martin del Potro (3), Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, and Alex Zverev (2). Italian rising star Jannik Sinner won the Citi Open in 2021. It’s time to have a look at the upcoming Citi Open event so you can get all set to bet against the ATP Odds.

Men’s Outright Odds

Is Rublev Getting Too Much Love?

Rublev is the betting favorite at +650 for the ATP Citi Open, but he hasn’t exactly been setting the world on fire with his play as of late. The 24-year-old Russian wasn’t permitted to play at Wimbledon due to his nationality and hasn’t reached a final since. He last won the Serbia Open in April, defeating crowd favorite Novak Djokovic in the final.

However, Rublev lost his first round match in the Halle Open in June and, after reaching the semifinal in the Swedish Open, lost in the Round of 16 at the German Open.

Rublev is at his best on hard court, but hasn’t exactly proven himself worthy of the top billing here in Washington. Take his betting odds with a grain of salt.

Kyrgios Making Headlines Again

Nick Kyrgios has been relatively quiet in the tennis world, at least up until this year’s Wimbledon. The Aussie star put on a show both on and off the court at the All England Club, making headlines for both his play and antics during interviews – he may have even started a feud with the usually reserved Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Now, Kyrgios enters the Citi Open with the second shortest odds to win the tournament – one week after a late withdrawal from the Atlanta Open. Kyrgios won his first round doubles match with Thanasi Kokkinakis, but came out in front of the crowd during his scheduled first round singles match to announce his withdrawal.

“I just want to say that I’m extremely shattered that I’m not able to compete tonight,” Kyrgios said, citing a knee injury. “I’ve won this tournament once and, you know, I’m playing some of the best tennis of my career.”

Kyrgios will be a wildcard in the US Open and is clearly prioritizing his health with the hopes of playing in the fourth Grand Slam of the year. There’s no real guarantee he plays in Washington, but he’s deservedly a favorite if he does.

Names to Watch Out For

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal has confirmed his attendance at the 2021 Citi Open and was quickly billed as the odds-on favorite to win the title. That isn’t too surprising since it would be hard to argue that Nadal isn’t the best player at the event.

The current world no.3 has, however, had a season to forget, drawing blanks at the Australian and French Open, where he crashed out of the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Although still solid placements, Nadal surely can’t feel satisfied with his showings on the season.

Having failed to deliver at the two Grand Slams, Nadal will be eager to win at least one silverware, and Citi Open just might be his best chance to do so. Still, there are some concerns with Nadal’s injury, which prevented him from delivering at the Roland Garros.

Jannik Sinner

The Italian enters the 2021 Citi Open as the eighth seed; however, he should definitely not be overlooked. Expecting him to deliver and upset the field might be a bold prediction; however, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the 19-year-old.

Sinner has recently made it to the finals of the 2021 Miami Open, which should be a solid indication of his form, given that both tournaments are hard-court events. It’s also fair to mention that Sinner beat the likes of Karen Khachanov and Roberto Bautista Agut, proving that he is more than capable of defeating higher ranked players than him (no.23).

A lot will have to go right for Sinner to win; however, he is definitely a solid dark horse pick for the 2021 Citi Open.

Felix Auger Aliassime

Felix Auger Aliassime enters the 2021 Citi Open as the second seed and world no.15. The Canadian has confirmed to attend the event following his early R1 exit from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he lost against Max Purcell of Australia with 4-6, 6-7.

Despite his iffy showings in Japan, Aliassime has done well in his recent tournament appearances, having reached the quarter-finals in Wimbledon, semi-finals at Halle Open, and finals at Stuttgart Open.

Aliassime has proven himself as a talented player who has managed several impressive runs on the season; however, he has not won a single event. Aliassime seems to “always be there but never on top,” which could make you doubtful about his chances to make it far.

Having said that, Aliassime has a solid chance to reach at least the finals in Washington. He will start the tournament in the bottom half, where he is likely to meet with Alex de Minaur in the semi-finals, which is definitely a winnable match for the Canadian.

If he makes it through the semis, Aliassime is likely to meet with Nadal in the finals, which is a match we don’t expect him to win. However, with most bookmakers pricing Aliassime at +1000, an e/w bet on the 20-year-old tennis star might be worth a shot.

We have barely had time to digest the strawberries and cream from Wimbledon, but now the ATP moves on to Washington, DC for the ATP Citi Open. A lot of the bigger names in the game are on their way to Rio for the Olympics, but this is still a solid field of 48 players, with a few big names competing. The 16 seeded men will get an automatic bye into the second round at Rock Creek Park, and will start action on Tuesday or Wednesday. The draw is split into 4 quarters, with the 4 top seeds headlining each. Let’s take a look at each one, and figure out who the online sportsbook might have as the betting favorites in each.

Here’s a Closer Look At The ATP Citi Open Winning Predictions

Quarter One

This is where we find John Isner, who many regard as the favorite to win this tournament outright. He will have some work to do her, though, with the likes of Viktor Trocicki and Steve Johnson likely to be his biggest competitors. I believe it will be Johnson who will get through to the quarter-finals to face Isner, but the favorite should be good enough to head into the semi-finals.

Quarter Two

Bernard Tomic is the favorite in this part of the draw, but it’s doubtful as to whether or not he can get out of what is sure to be a tough set of games for the Aussie. He was at the center of controversy at this tournament last year, as there were some serious doubts as to whether or not he was taking the whole thing seriously. It ended up costing him, and if he comes in with the same attitude this time around, he will sink like a stone in a tough draw. Let’s give Jack Sock the edge in this part of the draw.

Quarter Three

The top seed in this quarter is Benoit Paire of France, but he looks like he could be in trouble against some tougher opposition. There are a number of big serving players in this section, and perhaps none more ferocious than Alexander Zverev of Germany. He may be just 19 years old, but this is a kid with a lot of upside who could really do a lot of damage in this tournament. I like him to get out of this quarter and into the semi-finals.

Quarter Four

Gael Monfils of France is the top seed in this part of the draw, but he is another of the favorites who may be in for a rough ride. American Sam Querrey may be his toughest opposition here, and he is sure to be riding on a bit of a high after making it into the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. I think it will be Monfils and Querrey in the quarters, with the American the one to move on.

For me, it looks as though Isner and Zverev are on a collision course for the final, with Isner the one most likely to win it all. You can bet on every game, and keep up with all the betting odds for this tournament at MyBookie.ag.
