Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+3.5) for Duckworth – 1.61.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.66.
Duckworth has been playing well in September. He managed to get past the opening round at the US Open and played in the Challenger final in Cassis. So, we don’t think James will be easy prey for Giron in the upcoming encounter.
Duckworth has a good serve in his arsenal, which will certainly be a strong weapon against Giron, who plays poorly on the receiving end. Even against not the strongest Etcheverry, Marcos managed to lose his two serves.
Giron is not showing much in the second half of the season. Ahead of the San Diego event, Marcos left Montreal at the end of the first round, crashed out in Cincinnati at the end of the second round and lost to Francis Tiafoe (6-7, 4-6, 3-6) at the US Open at the start of the event.
In San Diego, Giron started off with a convincing win over Thomas Etcheverry. Marcos defeated Thomas in two sets (6-4, 6-3).
Giron is unbeaten in four straight matches as a favourite.
Duckworth has already played two matches on the San Diego courts. In the opening match, James faced his compatriot Alexey Popyrin, who he needed three sets (7-5, 4-6, 6-1) to defeat.
In the second round, Duckworth defeated Mitchell Krueger (6-3, 7-6) in two sets. James played well in early September at the Challenger in Cassis where he reached the final of the tournament.
Duckworth has seven wins in his last ten games on hard.
In 3 of Duckworth’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 2.09.
