Svrchina D. — Dimitrov G.

In the Bastad tournament on clay, Svrcina faces Dimitrov. Currently, Dimitrov is not in the best form, and his results leave much to be desired. Svrcina, although younger and less experienced, feels great on clay surfaces. The line suggests that bookmakers might be underestimating the younger player's fight.

Svrcina can impose his game thanks to good physicality and endurance. He has proven more than once that he can surprise top opponents. On clay, his confident movement on the court can play a decisive role against the slower Dimitrov.

The risk is that Dimitrov's experience can work against any young hopeful—he knows how to pull through tough matches even when not in great form.

We're taking the game handicap on Svrcina at odds of 1.9.
