The National Bank Open has another full slate of matches on Tuesday, with Canadian Victoria Mboko looking to stay hot.
The pregame narrative: Mboko won her NBO main-draw debut on Sunday and now has a step up in competition against the No. 29-seeded Sofia Kenin. Elsewhere, look for top-seeded Alexander Zverev to make quick work of Adam Walton.
Check out my top National Bank Open parlay picks for July 29.
National Bank Open parlay picks
Parlay: Mboko to win | Zverev/Walton under 21.5 games | Musetti/Duckworth over 19.5 games (+292)
Mboko to win (-167): Mboko’s sure to be a Canadian household name in no time with the way she’s playing.
The 18-year-old won 22 straight matches without dropping a set to win four ITF titles earlier this year, and she advanced to the third round of the French Open in her Grand Slam debut.
Mboko is 13-2 on hard courts this year, and is 2-1 since returning to North America following Wimbledon. Both of her victories were in straight sets, with the loss coming to WTA No. 11-ranked Elena Rybakina — and even then, she forced the Kazakhstani deep in the second set.
Kenin is a solid player but is in tough form right now, losing four of her past six matches.
I expect the Canadian to capitalize on the hometown advantage and advance to the Round of 32.

Tennis parlay picks
Zverev/Walton under 21.5 games (-177): Zverev is the co-favourite to win this tournament alongside Taylor Fritz and should have no issue crushing Walton in the Round of 64.
The No. 1-seeded player has underperformed this year from a trophies standpoint, but he still has a 35-14 record (with an 11-4 record on hard courts).
Zverev is -1,000 to win this match and -265 to win in straight sets. Taking the under on 21.5 games means we’re essentially backing the German to win 6-4, 6-4 or better.
Walton is 0-5 against top-20 ranked players this year, losing four of those matches in straight sets.
Musetti/Duckworth over 19.5 games (-180): Finally, let’s look at a matchup between Lorenzo Musetti and James Duckworth.
Musetti is a -560 favourite to win, but I think this one has upset potential.
The Italian has lost three straight matches heading into this event and owns a very mediocre 55.83% win rate on hard courts (6-5 this year).
Duckworth, meanwhile, has played 311 of his 527 career matches on hard courts and owns a 61.22% win rate on the surface (13-9 this year).
All five of his matches against top-20 ranked players in the last 52 weeks have gone over this total.
