Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4) for Bautista Agut – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 22 – 1.85.
Bautista Agut will have to defend last year’s quarter-final on the Mallorca courts. We believe that he can do it, considering the way Roberto played last week in Halle. At that event, he reached the quarterfinal stage of the competition.
The only head-to-head encounter between them ended in two sets. We expect this match to be played in a similar way. Bautista Agut seems to be the clear favourite in this match. I believe that Roberto will start his home competition in Mallorca with a convincing victory.
Daniel made it to the main draw in Mallorca through qualifying. In qualifying, he defeated Otto Virtanen (7-5, 6-3) and Denis Kudla (3-6, 6-4, 6-3).
In general, Taro is considered a major player on clay. On this surface this season, Daniel managed to show good results. In April, he reached the quarter-finals in Belgrade, and then in June, he reached the Challenger quarter-finals in Forlì.
Taro has nine defeats in his last ten meetings against top-20 opponents.
Bautista Agut has had a good start to the grass part of the season. He competed in Halle last week and reached the quarter-finals, where he lost to Daniil Medvedev (2-6, 4-6).
Last season in Mallorca, Bautista Agut was shut out in the quarter-finals when he was defeated by Sam Querrey (3-6, 6-7).
Bautista Agut has come out victorious in eight of his last ten matches against qualifiers.
In 4 of the last 5 Bautista Agut 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 the odds of 1.90.
Daniel has never played a tie-break in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with the odds of 1.42.
