Ubitennis, Montecarlo giorno 7: sabato, semifinali e vincitori. Sinner-Djokovic in finale? Partecipa al concorso e indovina il vincitore.
We are at the end of the first week of the Ubicontest, it is time for the penultimate day, time for the semifinals at the Montecarlo Rolex Masters. For once there were no matches to choose for Pellegrino Dell’Anno and Giovanni Pelazzo, as there are only the two semifinals to bet on by clicking on this link. And what semifinals they are, with a sprinkle of blue well present today as well.
The most anticipated match, and the first in the order of play, sees the world number 2 Jannik Sinner facing off against the number 12 Stefanos Tsitsipas, who leads 5-3 in their previous encounters despite losing the last two. Tsitsipas, a two-time champion in this tournament, seems to have found his form again, having beaten the Italian three times out of their four matches on clay. On the other hand, Sinner has confirmed his best result here, reaching the semifinals, and takes to the court aware that he can reach his first final in a 1000 tournament on clay. Not surprisingly, he is also the favorite according to the odds: his victory is at 1.30 on Goldbet, 1.30 on Better, 1.29 on Bet365, while Tsitsipas is at 3.55 on Goldbet and Better, 3.75 on Bet.
In the final, one of the two will face the winner of the match between the number 1 Novak Djokovic and the number 8 seed Casper Ruud, who has lost all five of their previous encounters without ever taking a set. Not the most encouraging record for the Norwegian, who returns to the semifinals in Monaco after 3 years, aiming for his first 1000 final on clay. Djokovic, on the other hand, returns after 9 years and is seeking his third victory here to complete the Triple Golden Masters. Unsurprisingly, he is the clear favorite: 1.37 on Goldbet, 1.37 on Better, and 1.36 on Bet365, while Ruud’s odds are at 3.10 on Goldbet and Better, 3.20 on Bet365.
