Matteo Berrettini vs. Hubert Hurkacz: Preview and betting tips

On Friday afternoon, the semifinal matches of the men’s Wimbledon semifinals await us. One of them will be Matteo Berrettini together with Hubert Hurkacz, which is a very surprising line-up. Which player will play his first Grand Slam final?

Matteo Berrettini is currently ninth in the ATP rankings. However, it is already certain that he will leapfrog Roger Federer in Monday’s edition of the rankings and at worst he will be ranked eighth.

At Wimbledon, the 25-year-old Italian is putting in a great performance. However, we have to mention that he has had a relatively favourable draw so far and Hubert Hurkacz will be the first major obstacle.

Hubert Hurkacz is a twenty-four-year-old tennis player originally from Poland, who is ranked eighteenth in the ATP rankings. However, if he manages to win his duel on Friday, he could move into the top ten.

Hurkacz has been performing above standard at the world’s most famous tournament. At the All England Club, he has faced Bublik, Medvedev and Federer, and has been able to handle them all.

So what’s your bet? The paper favourite to reach the final is Matteo Berrettini (odds 1.40). Personally, however, I see the chances of winning much more evenly, so I recommend a bet on Hurkacz to win.

Nevertheless, we can expect a very even duel, which should offer at least four sets. So you can bet that we will see at least 36 games on Centre Court at odds of 1.47.
