He&#8217;s a sizable favourite over Brandon Nakashima for their match in London. At the Halle Open in Germany, No. 3-ranked Alexander Zverev looks to fight off a red-hot Flavio Cobolli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my top tennis predictions for the June 20 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tennis predictions: June 20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Draper -1.5 sets (-129)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draper has been great this season, owning a 27-7 record with a 75% win rate or better on every playing surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That includes a strong 2-0 start on grass where he&#8217;s won four of his five sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nakashima, meanwhile, has barely edged his way past recent opponents, and I think his luck has run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The American has played five sets at this event. Three went to a tiebreaker while the other two had 10 or more games played.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That&#8217;s resulted in Nakashima needing almost an hour more of on-court time to reach the quarterfinal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He should be more fatigued than Draper and he&#8217;s the less skilled player in this matchup.  Draper beat Nakashima in straight sets on grass (6-3, 6-3) back in June 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Nakashima is 0-5 this season against top-15 opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/tennis\/atp?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_tennis\">Full tennis betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best bet for Zverev vs. Cobolli<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zverev\/Cobolli under 21.5 total games (-106):<\/strong> This is a way to back Zverev while avoiding his -205 pricetag to win in straight sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cobolli&#8217;s been good over the past month, winning nine of his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That one defeat, however, was against Zverev in straight sets on clay at the French Open (6-2, 7-6, 6-1). He dominated two of the three sets, halting the Italian&#8217;s run in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And grass provides an even bigger advantage for the No. 3-ranked player in this rematch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Zverev&#8217;s 67.7% win rate on grass is almost as good as his 70.5% win rate on clay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cobolli is 5-6 on grass (45.5%) in his career, but is 137-88 on clay (60.8%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian has started 2025 with back-to-back wins on grass, but needed five hours and 17 minutes to complete those matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, Zverev needed just over three and a half hours to reach the quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The German should have the legs to fuel his talent advantage on Friday. Everything points to Zverev making quick work of Cobolli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tennis predictions made at 4:05 p.m. on 06\/19\/25<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quarterfinals will be played across two different men&#8217;s tennis tournaments on Friday.
